Grey's Anatomy Spoilers: The Mer-Der Reunion

at .

The return of Grey's Anatomy is a little more than a month away and the Grey's Anatomy spoilers are starting to surface regarding its new episodes.

Don't get your hopes up - there's nothing Earth-shattering here.

But TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has the latest on what we can expect for Meredith and Derek, as well as some interesting casting notes (and speculation).

MerDer Trouble?
Love, Addiction

Be forewarned if you want to be in the dark and totally surprised on Thursday, April 24. Follow the jump if you want to learn a little bit more about Meredith and Derek and more from the world of Grey's Anatomy spoilers ...

Question: Now that we know Meredith and Derek will be getting back together on Grey's Anatomy, any idea on how it will happen, and why the fans have to endure five more episodes of Rose, a.k.a. Nurse Plot Device?

Ausiello: I imagine the reason you have to endure Nurse Plot Device Rose for five more episodes is because 1. the show already agreed to pay Lauren Stamile for those episodes, and 2. Nurse Plot Device Rose is probably one of the catalysts bringing Mer-Der back together. In related news, new details are emerging about the first episode back on April 24 and they vary slightly from what I reported last week. I'm told that roughly six weeks will have passed, not "several months." And the first scene will most likely take place at Seattle Grace, not at the end of Derek and Rose's latest date. Damn Grey's Anatomy script revisions!

Question: Grey's Anatomy scoop â€" please, sir, may I have some more?

Ausiello: Get this: Grey's Anatomy is out to get George Clooney! Well, a George Clooney type, at least, to appear in two episodes. The show also is on the hunt for an actress to play the hunk's wife, who, though younger, is no Sarah Larson; she's more of an everywoman housewife. I'm thinking American Dreams alum Rachel Boston? So what if she was already on the show â€" bring her back! You got a better idea?
