Jeffrey Dean Morgan to Appear on at Least Five Episodes
When we first reported the news that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be back on Grey's Anatomy this November, we assumed it was just for another fleeting cameo.
Now it's looking like the handsome actor who plays the late Denny Duquette, Jr., could be sticking around for the foreseeable future - and may well turn out to be the "surprising" love interest for Izzie that Shonda Rhimes promised in the offseason.
How long will Denny haunt Izzie and where the heck is this even going?
As for the first part, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly says Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be in at least five episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Whether that's five from the start of his recent stint or five more as of now is unclear - but he's not going anywhere.
As far as where the story is headed, the most logical theory is that Shonda Rhimes is indeed giving Izzie a brain tumor, as was rumored months ago, and which would or could grant Katherine Heigl's (never publicly stated) wish to make movies full time.
But who says this story has to be logical, right? As Grey's Anatomy writer Stacy McKee opined on the show's writers blog after "These Ties That Bind":
"Maybe this is one connection that gets to defy all... common sense. Maybe it just gets to be. Even if it does seem too good to be true."

And to think, I actually believed that Grey's couldn't get any worse than last season. This story line with Izzie and Denny is hands down the most ridiculous thing I have ever had the displeasure of watching. It is absolute garbage. Seriously...SERIOUSLY?!?!
I can't believe that they think this may win Katherine Heigl an award...it is abysmal. They only way that they can redeem themselves...would be to kill Izzie off with a brain tumor, which would be incredibly sad, but the only excuse I will take for this piss poor story line.

I, personally, LOVE Dizzy together. I was so upset when they killed Denny's character. I would love to see them somehow bring Denny back into the picture. Izzy just lights up whenever Denny is around, she just has this sparkle to her, unlike any of the others that she has been with.
With George, it just didn't work, because KH didn't like the storyline (the mistress thing)...but I did like them together...certainly alot better than I like the Izzy/Alex thing.
Either way, I am going to stick around, I wouldn't stop watching the show just because of a storyline, the ones that are, apparently aren't as big of a fan as me.
But, as for Denny...love JDM, and will continue to drool over every episode that he is in, he's just too sexy...SERIOUSLY!!! haha

I like JDM and KH. I am happy to see them back together but this plot line is so beyond.. well the beyond….
I do however have a theory, no brain tumor for Izzie, this is all just a dream Bob Newhart is having… LOL .
Where the end of “Newhart” is actually takes place on “the Bob Newhart show”….
Maybe this is all happening at “ER” or “St. Elsewhere”…LOL

Amazing! I know that I am a hopeless romantic, but this wonderful. I love watching Denny and Izzie together. I hope that he stays around forever.

I love the fact that they're giving izzie some more Denny time... those who don't can't see the bigger picture.... She missed out on her big chance to perfect happiness and now she seems to have it back... let her enjoy what she could not and see how it goes... and if u can't process it..watch bold and the beautiful people die there in the hospital and come back to life from hiding in france with no memory...taylor, macy etc.
I love it so please keep denny in GA..For the romantic souls..lol...

Denny has said over and over "I'm here for you Izzie" Maybe she is going to die and he is here to help her cross over.

Yeah - we want Denny in the show.
