Kim Raver Lands Recurring Role on Grey's Anatomy
Grey’s Anatomy has enlisted Jack Bauer’s ex and a former Lipstick Jungle star to throw a monkey wrench into Owen and Cristina’s burgeoning romance, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Sources confirm that Grey’s Anatomy has tapped former 24 heroine Kim Raver to join the cast as a new SGH surgeon and a possible love interest for Kevin McKidd’s Dr. Owen Hunt.
Back in August, Kevin McKidd revealed some Grey's Anatomy spoilers, namely that a major skeleton would tumble out of Owen’s closet in this transitional season of Grey's Anatomy.
“Someone comes to the hospital that he was connected to in his past, not his ex-fiancée, but it’s somebody we didn’t expect,” the actor said in an interview with E! Online.
“I think it could get a little tricky, to say the least, but also exciting and interesting."
"Hopefully it will bring [Owen and Cristina] closer in the long run.”
Raver’s role is recurring and she will debut on November 12. Who do you think she's playing, and are you excited? Or are all these new doctors just making the cast too crowded?

It was pure genius to cast Kim Raver on this show. She is dynamic and brightens up the place. She is a great actress, especially in a setting such as the hospital. I hope she stays a long time, it certainly makes the show more interesting.

I am REALLY beginning to get BORED with this show.........as a faithful watcher for many seasons I HATE the addition of so many characters esp that stupid red head girl from mercy west already hitting on Alex in a round about way. Shonda-get some focas girl back on the main, smaller group of established characters. As for me, if something don't give soon, it is time to get a new favorite show!!!!

Oh please. He throws her into scaffolding and chiles her and he's seen as perfect for her? In what universe? If it were Burke's character people would be up in arms or ...tea bags. The hypocrisy from these " fans" is pathetic.
Bring cardio god Burke back and end the charade already. No one can come close to the chemistry or the visual beauty they had together.
We all lost characters we love Burke, Erica, Bailey's husband, Adele, and we're still here supporting the show. If you're so miserable watching the show do us all a favor and watch something else. Short of that, shut the heck up already because all your whining every week is just making the creators more and more wealthy and you whiners look like you've lost your minds. Ka ching!

Ana, thinks are getting rocky for Lexie and Mark too. That what the Cyler Leigh said:
Lexie and Mark on the rocks: “Their relationship right now is pretty stable. They’re making good progress, but there is definitely something that comes up soon that throws a wrench in the whole thing. They’re coming up on some rough roads. As far as I’ve been told, it’s pretty intense and I’m just hoping that they do [last].”
I hope they don't mess with MerDer and let them be happy in their marriage!! Finger crossed.

*** Ooops ***
Wish I could spell! I should have said that I hoped the person from Owen's PAST was a cardio god.
