McDrama

Many people have heard of the popular ABC series Grey’s Anatomy. It’s getting ready to kick off its fifth season on Thursday, September 25, at 8:00 PM. For those who are not familiar with this spectacular television series, it is a show that has been packed full of drama since the very first episode. The setting of the show is in Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington. When it began, it mainly revolved around the five new interns at Seattle Grace: Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, Alex Karev, and George O’Malley. That was the start this hospital’s romance of hooking up and falling in love. The whole show revolves around the love-hate relationship between Dr. Derek Shepherd and now Dr. Meredith Grey. In the first season, Dr. Shepherd was married and had an affair with Meredith. Since then, he has divorced his wife and had an on-off relationship with Meredith Grey. Over time, Meredith and Derek have dated other people, but they always wind up falling for each other again. In the last episode of season four, Meredith and Derek are together on land that Derek owns. There is an outline made of candles in paper bags of a house that Derek has wanted to build, but he only has intentions of building it to settle down with someone like Meredith. In the last part of the episode, the audience sees Meredith and Derek them touring their “house.” When Derek realizes how much he truly loves Meredith, he tells her to wait there because he has to go do something before they go any further. He doesn’t directly tell her, but the audience knows that he has to go tell Rose, the nurse he has been seeing, that he no longer has feelings for her. The writers of the series left the audience hanging on that last Meredith-Derek moment, and that is why season five has been greatly anticipated. Will Meredith and Derek finally be together forever, or will something go terribly wrong like usual? Tune in to ABC Thursday at 8:00 for the two-hour premier to find out; I know I will!
