Here is the link. It is laid out a little bit differently online than in the magazine. The picture with Patrick's head resting on Jillian's belly is on the cover of the magazine.
Hi purplemerder, I am not sure where you can find it on the web. I'll look for it. It was in "Life: America's Weekend Magazine that is found in newspapers. He's on the cover with the title "The Sexiest Dad Alive". It's a four page spread with a section where Jillian is interviewed, too. Very nice. It is dated January 12, 2007.

I'm really trying to convince myself that there is NOTHING to worry about! Patrick will remain on GA for a long time to come and will be happy with his character and with Meredith! Like I said, maybe we are reading too much into this article! He made some comments only saying that he wants his character to grow and he''ll reevaluate it in a few years and see where the show is heading! Hopefully, it will continue to be the Number 1 TV Drama on TV and he will want to stay around for 6 more years! Lets hope so! He did say on GMA this week that he isn't ready to leave TV and go full time into movies..again he said lets wait a few years and see where things are!

I've seen several articles about the Washington/Dempsey conflict, and, while the REASON has varied, they all have said that it was Patrick who was late to the set. In all fairness, though, every article has given a GA - related work activity (talking to a script consultant, talking to a producer, etc) as the reason for his tardiness - not just blowing off a shoot.
Patrick seems to be so honest & genuine. Personally, his looks and the character developed by the writers make him sexy on GA, but his personality, his devotion to his family, his profession, and his desire to be a good multi-faceted person are what make him sexy in reality.

Patrick Dempsey really is, a very loving husband and dad . In all his interviews, he´s always bringing the family subject on,tells who wonderfull and great are jill and tallulah,and the whole cast of Grey´s Anatomy think so too.I love how great is Ellen Pompeo´s relationship with Patrick´s family.
Patrick Dempsey Happy B-Day!!!! you are the best!!!!!!!! tell your wife Jill that she is veeeeeeeery lucky woman having you in her life!! (in case that you are reading this).LOVEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUU MAN

I actually think he was talking about his appearance on Oprah last week, not the whole group thing back in November. He has said similar things in other print media. In the recent interview in Life dated January 12th he is shown leaning against his very pregnant wife's bare belly, very cute. They ask him "Life: Could you really just walk away?" and his response is, "Dempsey: I'll see how long the show goes. What happens to my film career. Then I'll try to remove myself from this hectic lifesyle and live in a small town for a while. I want my kids to be able to run around. I'm ready to go to Maine." It was a very interesting interview. He sounds tired in it too. It has to be hard to work these kind of long hours and then be expected to show up for interviews and award events and charity appearances all the while with a very pregnant wife and daughter at home.
The Life article somewhat countradicts the Details article above regarding the incident between Isaiah and Patric

I agree with you Kathy. on the pod cast this week the writers said that merder enjoyed working with each other a lot.

And to add to my comments.....My gut feeling is that Patrick is truly happy with GA! He may still have some things he wants to do....(movies, racing, whatever) down the road! I think as most TV actors are that whatever character they play, they want that character to GROW and change along the way. I think that is all that Patrick was saying! We all know he loves playing the HOT McDreamy...he just wants everybody to know he is more than just good looks and he wants to be able to prove that! I just want him to be happy in his character and especially with Meredith! I don't want that to change and I'm sure he doesn't either! They enjoy each other so much!

From how the article read, the interview was done later in the day of when the entire cast did The Oprah SHow back in the middle of November. So, you know he had to be exhausted if he flew in that morning from being in a race the day before and then did the Oprah Show and then the interview! And its so obvious from what you read that racing is really something that he enjoys! I have seen Patrick in interviews since this one, and he seems happy as McDreamy, especailly from the People's Choice Awards the other night! He seemed thrilled! Maybe we are all reading too much into the article, I sure hope so! I want him to be happy on the show and want to continue to be on it! I don't like to think he really isn't happy! That makes me sad!

the article did kindof make GA sound like that but i really don't think that was what he meant...i think he just meant that he is much much more than a pretty face............and that is true and why we all love him so much because he is more than HOT>

What a great article about Patrick! I think that the comment about Patrick being tired of playing doctor doesn't necessarily mean he will be leaving the show @ the end of his contract.(Which is three more years) I think that he wants his character to grow and be strong and not just be recognized as the good-looking doctor with the great hair...(even though that helps to have those qualities too)! I've heard him make a similar comment before about wanting his character to grow. I even heard his interview on GMA this past week and the girl doing the interview asked him if he was going to break our hearts and leave TV and go Hollywood on us since he was beginning to be in some movies! His response was NO, he wasn't leaving TV, that would not be a smart thing to do right now. He said that he would see where he was in a few more years! Hopefully, we will not ever have to worry about McDreamy leaving GA....I think he is happy right where he is for NOW!..and alot can happen in THREE years!
