Grey's Anatomy Season Six Overview
Below is ABC's Season 6 overview of Grey’s Anatomy, posted on the show's official site and as a press release to sum up what the new campaign has in store for us.
It also serves as a recap of last season for those unfamiliar.
Here's the network's brief overview. Tell us what you think, and what you are most excited for as we prepare for the sixth season of Grey's just 25 days from now ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems like the doctors of Seattle Grace Hospital are always fighting for something, from access to cutting-edge surgeries to relationships to patients’ lives.
And they don’t always win.
After a long, hard struggle, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) may have finally won the battle for each other’s hearts, sealing their love for one another with vows written on, of all things, a blue post-it note.
One battle the staff of Seattle Grace may be losing is saving the lives of two of their own, Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and George O’Malley (T.R. Knight).
And Alex Karev (Justin Chambers, pictured above), Izzie’s new husband, is left holding his breath until next season’s premiere along with the rest of us.
Meanwhile ...
- Tough-loving Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is fighting her own battles. She faces the very real possibility of losing her husband over her extreme dedication to her career.
- Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) is fighting relationship fears while on-again-off-again boyfriend Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) fights the emotional scars that he brought home from Iraq.
- Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) is fighting for her family’s respect as a new relationship with Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) blossoms into the healthy romance she needs.
- Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) is trying to overcome his past and become a better man - with or without Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh). Perhaps Lexie is too young for him after all.
- Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.), The Chief, is fighting to keep his hospital together and to find some way to forgive himself for his past mistakes.
Grey’s Anatomy can be as complicated as any neurosurgery, with episodes that will make you laugh out loud, cry your eyes out and cheer its victories - whether they involve saving a patient’s life or sealing that kiss we’ve all been hungering to witness.

@Ace
Thank you for your reply and I see your point of view and really appreciate it. But for me IMHO the Chief taking a break would not be as bad as he in my eyes tends to have favourites. As you have said, it’s not solely on him to teach and maybe if they were Ortho and General Attendings I would sing a different tune in terms of his objectivity. The LVAD is a sore point for me as it led to the disappearance of one of my favourite actresses (Brooke Smith).
The Dixon comment was made when he was smarting over his attendings dropping like flies along with the SGH roof and rankings. He said,”…… and Dixon is autistic”. The way he said it was full of contempt and indignation that it felt like Dixon chose to have autism.

I really think that Alex & Izzie will have a rough time as a married couple... Oh God... Hope not... But based on the season 5, Alex already told Izzie that he married coz he thought Izzie will die... I really hope that this season this couple will have a normal married couple... Izzie is the best thing that happened to Alex!! Alex has changed... He is a man.. I really love how JC played as Alex... He's matured now... Don't forget his vows... I mean, I really hope that A&I will stay together... If they broke up again... I did't think that they will be back together since Alex has already screwed their relationship twice in the previous seasons... Alex is the man she loved....!!!

Ah, okay. Of course I'd love to see Bailey as Chief of Surgery; Webber said it best, "it's you in the chair eventually."
Bailey has proven herself as a capable surgeon and a capable administrator.

Anuflas,
I don't see Mark and Callie together. I think what makes their relationship great is the fact that they're friends. I think Mark and Callie are the older more sexualized version of George and Izzie, and we all saw how that went. Sometimes a great friendship doesn't always translate to a great romantic relationship.
I think it's great that Mark and Callie truly understand each other where they don't have to fall under the idea of being in love with one another in a romantic sense. I think that's what ultimately killed Gizzie because having a straight man and a straight(ish) woman being just friends is unconventional, and if a friendship and a foundation is built on that unconventional ground, it evolves the characters' dynamics to a noble love rather than a romantic love. Adjusting that dynamic back to convention because a man and a woman who are great friends, and convention deems it to be a couple, the very basis of that friendship is violated by trying to conform it i

Guest,
- In terms of the DNR, the only time it would be brought up is if the patient's family brought up a malpractice suit against the Chief for disobeying the document. In this case, it's next of kin, which is Alex, who wanted the DNR violated to begin with. If Izzie took issue with it, she would then bring up charges against the Chief to an ethics review board who would then question the Chief's actions. Since none of that is plausible by either Alex or Izzie, Webber isn't going to get in trouble for the DNR-violation unless someone reports him. And with the LVAD, which was a far more serious infraction considering it resulted not only in the patient's death but the manipulation of organ-recipient rankings with UNOS, Callie made the case against Hahn reporting the Chief because it was handled internally and her seeking retribution would punish ALL of the SGH's patients, since such actions would result in removing SGH's accreditation as a transplant site.

I don't think that the DNR is going to play a major factor since Jennings HAS to find about it. Who is going to tell him? I don't believe that neither of the people that are in that room will run him out since they all wanted to ignore the DNR. I think that Jennings will come to SGH to deal with the No.12 thing.
I don't think that Jenn's lawsuit has much to do with it either. Derek is still practicing Medicine so I assume that it was either settled or dropped.
Again, MerDer isn't going to be the couple who won't stand still. It would be too much and to be honest, a little old. Get someone else this time. I don't see it much as an option and no one is going to be on board with this. The show is getting critical acclaim again and putting its main couple thorugh hell again would be ridiculous. My guess it's either A/I or even better, M/L. Mark and Lexie have had it easy so far. I think it's going to be them. Or I hope. Get Callie to the rescue!
I don't think that Derek being Chi

It seems odd that Derek would be offered the chief's job when, a few weeks before he decked his best friend, Sloan. Der also has an outstanding court case regarding Jen's death, his liability insurance would take care of that.
But on the positive side, he's got a surgical procedure named after him, and he is a world renowned surgeon. Plus he's got Meredith of course!
