Our Grey's Anatomy Wish List For Season Five
It's hard to believe Grey's Anatomy is entering its fifth season next month. In honor of this much-anticipated, make-or-break fifth campaign, we've put together five things we're hoping for when the Grey's Anatomy cast returns September 25 ...
- MerDer love. Not MerDer angst. Further elaboration unnecessary.
- Happiness for The Chief. We know Chief Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) is more of a supporting character, but his on-again, off-again tribulations with Adele make no sense. Let's have them stay together, be happy and just ... carry on.
- A Cristina Yang love interest. Regardless of how you feel about Isaiah Washington, the show has not been the same without Preston Burke. While no one could replace that man, a new love interest for Cristina would be a welcome this year, as Yang finally tries to put the past behind her.
- A spectacular Izzie flameout. We heart Izzie, and certainly don't wish our girl any harm. But we're getting a wee bit tired of see this terrific character reduced to whining and treading water emotionally. Note to producers - give her something interesting to do, or get rid of her in style!
- More Alex back story! The finale of Season Four gave us more of a glimpse into the mind of Alex Karev than we've had in... well, four whole seasons. We hope the scene pictured below is the gateway to more interesting revelations about a young doctor whose personal life - and background - is still the least known.
What's on YOUR wish list for Season Five of Grey's Anatomy?

Meredith: She wants everyone around her to be ordinary so she can be extraordinary.

I would love to see Izzie's daughter back. And maybe, McSteamy and Izzie together? It would be interesting.
Hopefully, Addison will return in some episodes, I love that character.
And I want this 5th Season to be more like seasons 1 and 2, which were amazing. Season 3 was just Ok, but Season 4 sucked...

I expect>
1.Addison back!
2.Lexie and Meredith get the chance to know each other better and build a strong sister relationship.
3.Izzie an Alex together! They are the greatest couple of all. Not necessary this upcoming season, but they must end up together is just meant to be.
4. George and Izzie must return to the great friendship they used to have, even stronger.
5. Christina reach a situation in which she solves a case or perform a surgery that Hahn can't, earning her respect.
7. Meredith and Derek... well I just love when their love live is miserable. NO wedding or babies at all, no way.
6. Adrenaline! Challenging medical cases. Bailey, Bailey and more Bailey!

Izzie and McSteamy!!!!

I think that it will be a McSteemy Callie baby, just to add to tension. I would love to see MerDer back together and happy and see what other types of loop hole can be thrown in to make things interesting. I think George and Lexie make a cute couple, and could add some interest,and also hope they could in some way kill off Rose and Izzie at the same time, maybe some sort of drastic drunken car accident with them feeling sorry for themselves.

I wish my list would come through.
It would be such fun.
I thought a bit more about it:
7.A proper replacement for Burke.The show is really missing him.What a legend.
8.A line to be drawn on teacher-student relations.Seroiously.
9.No more focus on parent-angry child storylines.I hate them!
10.Get rid of Meredith,using Lexie to replace her.Ha!That would be brillant.

1 - Something more to Izzie. I think that something about her daughter would be very interesting
2 - Addison back :)
3 - No Mer/Der (you can call me crazy, but...)
4 - A new doctor, even if just for a little while...
p.s.: Chief built one of the gratest centers in pediatrics and obstetrics just for Addison... She left the hospital... Don't you think there should be another ob/gyn???

For Izzie NOT to go back with Alex. I hate thsoe two together. They are so toxic. I want Izzie to realize she belongs with George and he is the one she has always loved. It would make all the Gizzie fans happy and startw atching again.
