'Dr. Karev' in a psych ward

He may play a doctor on TV, but actor Justin Chambers (Dr. Alex Karev) was recently an in-patient ... in a psychiatric ward. Word is that he's doing "just fine" following his psych ward stint. A Chambers rep said the actor checked himself in to UCLA Medical Center, last week, to get help for a sleeping disorder. He was apparently suffering from exhaustion. People magazine quoted Grey's cast mate James Pickens, Jr. (Dr. Richard Webber) as saying Chambers is "doing great."

Paging Dr. Sloan

The man who plays an over-the-top handsome, egotistical, womanizing plastic surgeon recently underwent a procedure to battle skin cancer. Eric Dane who plays Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy revealed recently to OK! magazine that he had developed skin cancer above his lips. He had the growth removed. Doctors apparently froze it off using liquid nitrogen.

Who is McSteamy?

Not that it really MATTERS... because I'm going to watch ANYWAY. But I was beginning to wonder about Eric Dane -- a.k.a. McSteamy. Who is he? Where's he BEEN?
I mean when I saw Patrick Dempsey in the previews, promos and interviews for Grey's Anatomy, I'm old enough to remember him (yes, I admit it!) as the lovable Loverboy (1989) pizza deliveryman who knows when certain customers ask for extra anchovies... they're really looking for something else!

So what about this Dane guy?

Wimpy Men

Please tell me that you all were getting tired of McDreamy and Finn happily battling it out over Meredith? I don't think two guys in the real world would vie for a woman like that. I want to see some real men with a little testosterone coursing through their blood!! Which leads me to agreeing with Katharyn....McSteamy is the the new man of this show.

I was a little surprised at Cristina's response to "pain". After hearing McDreamy telling the brain surgery guy's wife that he was going to need lots of support, etc., I thought she was going to go home and be more "motherly" to Burke. But, of course, that was a dumb thought, because that wouldn't be Cristina! Burke even seems a little wimpy
now.

What a change we are seeing in Alex now. He has become the most responsible intern of them all...I am looking forward to seeing where he is going. He isn't a wimp thank goodness...yet.

So, do you think Finn and McDreamy are wimpy for fawning over Meredith so happily?
