Yeah but Meridit would remember if her mum was pregnant after her mum and dad split up, as wasn't she a teenager when her mum had an affair with the chief.
You could be right on that part.
Maybe she left her with a family member or friend:hmm:
TR Knight is out - the role of George is suppose to be recast
They were casting for an african american male in his 20s to play meredith's half brother
Cannot believe George will possibly be recast:crying:
How old is Meredith supposed to be?
That would be so stupid if George is recast!!!!
I've sort of worked it out that Meradith would have been around 5 of 6 when her parents split up as she has two step-sisters, Lexi and the one who had a baby I think Meradith is around 28-30 years old so she would remember her mum pregnant.
It would be stupid to try and recast George they should just write him and a cast a new character.
She is Meredith and will remember everything, the only thing that they can make the storyline plausible is if Merediths Mum went away 'working' abroad, hence her having the baby in another state/country.
Totally agree on George not being recast,
Spoiler:
What ending? What ending? Where is this written :p
Sorry should have put spoilers
Spoiler:
Yeah what happens :p I haven't read about it yet?
Spoiler:
I've read everywhere that both TR Knight and Meredith are back in Season 6 and I've also read that the producers had rubbished the idea that George was going to be re-cast. The George re-cast bit was said on Twitter by one of the producers aswell, so can't see it happening tbh
Although most Grey’s Anatomy fans are anxiously awaiting the fates of T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl next season, one cast member is nervous about her own. Chandra Wilson, who plays Dr. Bailey on the hit ABC show, is still waiting to re-sign her contract to come back next season. “You know, I don’t have the slightest idea!” she said on The View Thursday when asked if she knew who was leaving the show. “I know nothing!” In fact, she lamented that she still hasn’t received word on whether she’ll be back on the show. “I’m waiting for my Disney letter saying, ‘You have the option to come back,’” she said. The company has until June 20 to send it, she added. After speculation that Heigl’s character would be killed off in the season finale of Grey’s, her and Knight’s characters appeared to have died. Still, show creator Shonda Rhimes hasn’t divulged any information on next season’s cast or story lines. Source: Us Magazine
Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight's request to quit the hit medical drama three years before his contract expires has reportedly been granted by show boss Shonda Rhimes.
Sources tell Entertainment Weekly magazine Knight had grown tired of his character's lack of good storylines and asked series creator Rhimes to let him leave.
His character, George O'Malley, appeared to die in the final episode of the most recent season of the show.
The actor's experience on the series has provided career and personal highs and lows - fans loved his character but he was was forced to 'come out' as a gay man after former co-star Isaiah Washington referred to him as a "f**got" during an on-set fight with castmate Patrick Dempsey in October 2006.
They can't get rid of Bailey she rocks. If they are planning a clear out of cast members they may as well just scrap the tv programme all together.

RIP George :(Quote:
Fall's still months away, but one of last season's bigger Grey's Anatomy cliffhangers has already been resolved: Sources confirm to me exclusively that T.R. Knight's wish to be released from his contract has been granted. The official decision, I'm told, came down in the past few days, just as many of his castmates began receiving their formal pickup letters from ABC.
What does this news mean for George? What will Knight do next? And what about Izzie? Find out after the jump...
The actor's exit closes yet another rocky chapter for the embattled primetime soap, one that opened with Isaiahgate and worsened when, amid rumors that Knight was clashing with series creator Shonda Rhimes, George O'Malley was backburnered. Finally, Knight grew so fed up with his character's lack of storyline that he asked if he could check out three years before his deal expired. After that, all indications were that he would be let go, although Rhimes didn't make a final decision until recently. (Contractually speaking, she had until June 30 to make up her mind.)
Last month, Rhimes told me that George's relatively light storyline this year was the result of the normal "ebbs and flows" of ensemble television. But she did acknowledge that he was intentionally written lighter during the last half of the season so that viewers wouldn't think it odd that he was absent from the season finale -- something that was necessary to preserve the episode's biggest twist: that George was actually a disfigured John Doe who had been hit by a bus. "I really wanted you to not notice that he wasn't there for most of this episode," she said. "I don't think anybody noticed because of the way we laid it out this season."
Knight's departure would seem to confirm that George doesn't survive, although fans have wondered whether Rhimes is planning to pull an Elizabeth Reaser (Jane Doe/Rebecca) and have him live, only to be replaced by another actor, thanks to plastic surgeon Sloane's handiwork. That's "hilarious, ridiculous," the boss has said. However, I've heard that she was interested in having Knight appear in next season's first three episodes, but a short-term deal could not be brokered.
i am totally gutted!!!!!!!
Jessica Capshaw is a series regular as Dr. Arizona Robbins. It looks like Callie's (Sara Ramirez) love interest and love life are still going strong with Capshaw signing on as a series regular.
I like Arizona - she is all sweetness and light on the surface but you know that there are hidden depths.
I like Arizona aswell, I like her qwirkyness in every scene that she does.
Katherine Heigl will return to Grey's Anatomy next season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actress, who plays Izzie on the ABC medical drama, will reportedly continue on the show despite rumours that she would be leaving.
Heigl recently said that she was unsure about her future with Grey's after the season five finale saw her character flatline after brain surgery.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Heigl's co-star T.R. Knight is exiting the drama following speculation that both his character Harry and Heigl's Izzie would be killed off.
Aussie actress Melissa George has confirmed Grey's Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight has quit the show.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Knight had asked to terminate his contract with bosses of the medical drama on Wednesday and now George has become the first castmate to comment on his departure.
She tells UsMagazine.com, "He's one of my best friends. I feel great for him. He's had a good week."
Knight's character, George O'Malley, appeared to die in the most recent season finale after he was hit by a bus.
The actor is reportedly in talks to headline the Broadway revival of Lend Me a Tenor in 2010.
08/09 - Actor T.R. Knight doesn't return for the Sept. 24 Grey's Anatomy season premiere, but his character, Dr. George O'Malley, will. "Transplant doctors descend on Seattle Grace because it's revealed that George was a registered organ donor," according to a source who was on the Grey's set and spoke to Life & Style. "But his colleagues are still reeling from George's death and are fighting with the transplant doctors to stop them from taking his lungs, liver, corneas and bone marrow. It's only when everyone hears what lives will be saved that George's friends start to get some perspective on his death." According to the source, all of the scenes with George were shot using special effects and makeup. "It's one of the goriest scenes they've ever done because you literally see each of these organs get pulled out of his body," says the insider.
07/24 - ABC confirms that that Mitch Pileggi will appear in the season-six premiere, reprising his role as a member of the Seattle Grace board of directors. It's probably not good for the Chief that his boss is descending from on high to consort with the little people. [...] Grey's Anatomy's newest cool guest casting is actor/all-around badass Martha Plimpton. Look for her first in the season premiere, with her "patient's mom" arc continuing for multiple episodes.
07/31 - At least three new interns arrive at Seattle Grace. One intern named Hank is happy to do sutures on a live person for once. This makes Intern Jen jealous so she decides to watch. Patient Miguel Canales, who has heart disease, is not too happy when his doctor handed over his case to a third year resident. The resident reassures Miguel by telling him his rather aggressive disease has stopped progressing. A new physical therapist named John is introduced while taking care of Monica a depressed patient who just got a new prosthetic leg. Monica isn't in a positive state of mind and doesn't want to try out her new leg.
07/24 - Oncologist resident: Male, all ethnicities, mid to late 30s. Jon: Male, all ethnicities, 30s, physically fit guy.
With T.R. Knight out of the picture and Ellen Pompeo heavily pregnant the execs of "Grey's Anatomy" are anticipating the lack amount of force by adding more doctors. Jesse Williams, Nora Zehetner and Robert Baker are all cast as medical professionals in a multi-episode arc.
Is this Mer's half brother and the Chief and Ellis's son?

Katherine Heigl won’t have to worry about putting in long hours on the Grey’s Anatomy set for much longer. Sources confirm to me exclusively that the actress is taking a five-episode hiatus from the ABC drama to go shoot the Greg Berlanti-directed romantic comedy Life as We Know It.
ABC and Grey’s producers have accommodated Heigl’s busy film schedule before, but this is the first time they have given her permission to leave the show for an extended period of time. I’m told Heigl’s absence will be explained on screen, although it’s not clear what prompts Izzie to take off. (Marital trouble with Alex? A trip home to see mom? A Denny sighting in the Caribbean?)
The fact that Heigl was granted such a lengthy leave of absence is surprising in light of the public tongue-lashing ABC president Stephen McPherson gave her last month for complaining about a 17-hour work day. Also, Heigl’s departure — which starts this month and will kick in on screen around November — will almost certainly overlap with co-star Ellen Pompeo’s maternity leave. Translation: Grey’s will be without Izzie and Meredith at the same time!
Of course, Grey’s boss Shonda Rhimes warned me over the summer that change would be in the air this season. ”Eventually, everybody is going to leave the show,” admitted the exec, citing T.R. Knight’s exit and the temporary loss of Pompeo. ”So we’re looking at [ways] we can mess with the structure now…. Season 6 is about finding the longevity of the show and figuring out if there is a future for this show beyond these characters.”
Not so coincidentally, Grey’s recently announced it was adding three new doctors to its rotation: Nora Zehetner, Robert Baker, and Jesse Williams are joining the cast as recurring residents/ medical professionals.
