Exclusive: 'Grey's Anatomy' Pages 'L Word' Alum

Sep 10, 2008, 06:17 PM | by Michael Ausiello

Categories: Grey's Anatomy

Gavankarscott_lThis probably won't do anything to quell those Katherine Heigl exit rumors.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that L Word alum Janina Gavankar is joining the cast of Grey's Anatomy as an intern. Meanwhile, relative newcomer Brandon Scott (Cold Case) is also checking into Seattle Grace as a junior McDreamy.

According to my Grey's mole, producers are taking a wait-and-see approach with respect to the size of both roles. As a result, Gavankar and Scott will start off as recurring players. "Nothing's been decided yet," whispers the insider.

News of the new hires comes amidst buzz that Grey's will likely upgrade Kevin McKidd to a full-time series regular before the season is out. As I mentioned in this week's Ask Ausiello, the ex-Journeyman, who debuts in the Sept. 25 season premiere as a former Iraq doc with eyes for Cristina, is winning everyone over on the Grey's set. Let's see if Gavankar and Scott can do the same. (No pressure though!)

Initial reaction? Happy to see Seattle Grace get some (more) new blood? Or is the hospital too crowded as it is? Spill it in the comments!

I think Brandon Scott is totally HOT. Plus he's an amazing actor. Please make him a regular!

Susan Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:08 PM EST

I'm sorry, but they should definitely bring back Isaiah Washington. He was ONE of the main reasons I enjoyed Grey's so much. Right now,the story-lines are ridiculous!

Danielle Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 01:00 PM EST

Does anyone know whether or not we'll ever see Izzie's daughter on the show again? Her short stint last season was very unsatisfying. I think if Katherine Heigl was upset with her own role last year, this would be a fantastic way to give her great lines.

TVFanNYC Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 12:51 PM EST

I'm a fan of more characters! If too many seasons go by and you haven't added characters then after a while you've kind of seen all the possible combinations of people getting together who could possibly get together. Adding new people is a good thing, especially these two, who have been so good on other shows.

JO Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 10:40 PM EST

I'm keeping my fingers crossed ABOUT this news of the new people of color.
I'm still waiting for a hot sexy black male or asian male to help give Grey's some real substance. This WASP theme/issues is so boring. I stop watching the tele to go and work on the internet or I'll pick up the phone and call a friend. It's not intriguing to me anymore. My sister and I use to call one another during the commercial breaks of Grey's to discuss the previous segment.
The show needs a boost.
Is Katherine Heigl leaving the show? PLEASE, I HOPE SO. SHE IS A BIG MOUTH TROUBLE MAKER.
WHY did Callie turn gay. Why not give her some sugar daddy whose "rolling in dough"-showering her with gifts and making all the other girls JEALOUS.

Jill Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 08:02 AM EST

The cast is never too big for Kevin McKidd. Heck, write off Hahn and Lexie. They do nothing for the show.

MAKE KEVIN MCKIDD A REGULAR!

Kristi Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 01:05 PM EST

I am SO SO SO EXCITED about Brandon Scott! He is HOTT!!!! I think we need some new BLOOD in the ER! Congrats Brandon and we want to see more of you! (no pun intended)

Beatriz Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 11:57 AM EST

I really hate Rose.... I´m barely can stand with Lexie, I´m pretty sure If Shonda y co think the new guys are a good option It´s ok for me....but please listen up all our comments....we are GA fans and don´t want a serie as ER!!!! with full of new characters where you can´t even define who´s your favorite one....Please don´t ever forget de ORIGINAL CAST are our favorite!!!

Leslie Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 01:02 PM EST

What I dont get is why all od a sudden new interns come in every year. For the 1st 3 seasons the original 5 were interns. Now, after season 4, they have to have new ones every year? I dont get it.

greysgirl Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 08:01 PM EST

All you haters better step back, cause I am sooooooooo excited to meet these new characters! Brandon is totally sexy and Janina is beautiful! I can't wait to see the steamy scenarios they'll come up with for them! (Hopefully together!)

best Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 03:25 PM EST

Im agree.

davina Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 04:27 PM EST

Brandon Scott is HOT!!! He was really good on Cold Case so I'm excited to see what he's like on Grey's

lorna Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 02:46 AM EST

love kh/izzie, mcsteamy. used to hate hahn the last ep or 2 shes ok. wouldnt miss her tho. only add mckidd, no more ppl. gosh.

Kristy Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 12:24 AM EST

I used to love the KH character Izzie. Her s/l with Denny was beyond heartwarming and tuched me somewhere deep. That said, she has become positively annoying and I for one would be so happy to see her go. You need someone with a heart? I think Mer's little sister fits the bill now, just with more spunk. I love Alex and DO NOT want him with Izzie.So KH can go and hopefully the door won't hit her on her rump too hard!

Hacy Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 09:02 PM EST

I WANT BURKE BACK. It's fine to cut out the actor but can u just keep the character in? Cristina and Burke are made for each other, don't let cristina alone any longer

Christie Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 05:39 PM EST

I just got hooked over the summer watching the 1st three seasons and now watching season four. Christina's character just keeps me laughing at her in a good way - fantastic actress. Miss not seeing her with Burke - love him - BRING HIM BACK. He made the show, along with the orignal ones. Bring Burke Back - TJ needs to forgive and their friendship could be wonderful.

kelsey Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 04:04 PM EST

i believe that they dont really need to cut back on characters , just the main ones like you can have people in teh show just not have them be the focus all the time or it just gets to dam confussing, anyways i can't wait for greys to come back i want to see what will happen

kate Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 09:32 AM EST

Katherine Heigl is the heart of the show, like it or not, it's true. The Izzy/Denny storyline was one of the most powerful on TV. Plus, KH was absolutely correct in her statements about lack of quality material - does anyone disagree with her?? I'm really sick of people harping on one of the few female celebrities willing to have some balls and speak her mind. I personally think more women in Hollywood should take her lead.

wagons Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 01:08 AM EST

Holy cow - Vorenus on Grey's? Fabulous!

Aggripanilla Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 08:50 PM EST

Personally, the only reason I will be watching Grey's Anatomy *is* for Kevin McKidd, the new Dr. McScotty. This man is hot beyond words and GA is lucky to have such a fine actor. Hopefully, the director will kill off all the vapid regulars and give Kevin McKidd the full run of the hospital. It will be a much better show.

tess malloy Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 04:59 PM EST

too many people. it's going to end up like lost where you can't remember who everyone is

Molly Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 01:58 PM EST

I'm glad they are adding more minority characters, particularly an Indian doc. Go into any major hospital and you'll see it's not just a white group of MDs.

UCCF Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 01:38 PM EST

Too crowded. They're running into ER syndrome - at one point, it seemed like the credits for that show lasted 10 minutes, what with all of the people they had to list. Shonda et al need to sit down and watch Season 2 of Heroes to see what can go wrong when you saturate the show with new blood. There's only so much screen time to go around, and you'll anger the audience if you short-change their favorite characters in order to shoe-horn in stories for new ones.

Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 12:20 PM EST

I HATE ADDISON! I HATE ROSE! I HATE LEXIE, HAHN... I WANT THE ORIGINAL CAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allie Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 11:58 AM EST

I miss Addison.

Georgina N. Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 11:50 AM EST

I'm always willing to give Shonda and co. the benefit of the doubt, so I won't totally bash the idea just yet. But I will say I'm pretty pessimistic... SGH already feels much too crowded. Addison was a great addition, but at the time she was only joining a regular cast of 9. At the end of season 4, we had 12 regulars and I hear McScotty will be the 13th. So yeah... 15 already seems like a bit much. I am prepared to say buh-bye to KH/Izzie though. Just my two cents.

MsDaisy Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 11:35 AM EST

Hey Shonda, Lindsay Lohan could use some work too. Katie Holmes might not last too long in her Broadway gig, how about her? Sheesh...they'll still be running the opening credits at the end of the episode at this rate.

Lo Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 09:11 AM EST

I gave up on Grey's Anatomy a long time ago - have to sit through too much petty melodrama for the few good moments, there's a reason I don't watch soap operas, ugh - BUT I love Janina so much, I will probably start watching again just for her. Congrats to Janina! All of you complaining about too many characters (which is valid) clearly have never seen her work!

Liz Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 07:58 AM EST

Oh God NO!! NO MORE!!! With all those new characters (Lexie, Hahn, ROSE!!) etc, we don't have enough screentime for the interns!! We want more of Meredith & Derek, and Christina, Izzie & Alex (with Bayley & the Chief), but that's ALL!! Just give Christina a love interest, but we don't care about Lexie's problems, or Hahn, or plotdevice, or thse two new ones! We have also Mark & George & Callie... So STOP Shonda!!!!

More Mer/Der, and the five originals interns, that's it!

Michelle Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 07:07 AM EST

For the love of God, Shonda! STOP! I don't want any new people! We already have interesting characters that have NOTHING to do. *coughMARKcough* At least if you want these newbies so badly then get rid of some people. Izzie, Lexie and Hahn preferably. But if the original McDreamy leaves to make way for this poser then I'm gone.

Julee Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 11:58 PM EST

Seems that the population self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) becomes more and more. According to my experience on the site *BisexualMingle dotcom* (a site for LGBT coming out, explore sexuality, etc.), there are about 150 members per day and they are very active. You can imagine.

Lexan Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 10:20 PM EST

There are already too many characters!!! More characters means less time for storylines and less complex plots. We already have characters we love, don't try to make us fall in love with new ones five seasons in!

Sushi Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 09:45 PM EST

I used to love love GA in season 1 and season 2, there were interesting medical cases, sharp, smart and realistic dialogues and thoughtful relationships which touched a chord and now what is it? A step more in the same direction and it will be prime time soap opera.Whatever that means! All this over crowding is just not right, how many parallel storylines can you push forward in 1 hour episode? Mcsteamy and Hahn should go along with Izzie (Heigl is fine, I just dislike the character she plays) and I sorely miss the good old cute bumbling George, the current one is so twisted and convoluted much like the other damaged types that abound the halls of Seattle Grace. I hope Shonda's people inform her of the audience's feedback and I hope they do something to bring about a drastic change or end the serial after 5th season.

joits Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 08:30 PM EST

looks like there's too many docs. but maybe they should replace some of the original docs with new blood... they could start with katherine heigl who doesn't know how to appreciate the roles that have led her to become a highly paid actress in hollywood.

Meredith44 Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST

I agree with the poster who said that if new characters are being added, Grey's is at the point where they need to approach it like ER (or Law & Order). When characters join, others should leave. It's not that I don't like having new faces (Addison was an addition that I loved, I also love Callie, and I am okay with Lexie and others); it's that there are so many characters that it is difficult to give them all proper storylines and/or screentime. As of right now, it seems like this cast has just gotten to be too massive.

Lene Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 06:26 PM EST

Getting a tad crowded, innit? Last season's storylines already felt a bit rushed - wasn't enough time to really flesh out stories.

If Heigl gets canned, I leave. She's a great actress and totally right about the crap they gave her to do last year.

Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 06:25 PM EST

Too many characters!!! Our original characters are messed up as is... Bring them back to season 1-2 goodness and then more characters can come...

knowledge is powerful stuff Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 06:19 PM EST

i read that Heigl might get a brain tumor that makes her see Denny. I also read that it could either kill off her character or make her deserve the emmey that she said she didn't want

Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 04:46 PM EST

Too many characters! there is barley enough time to give the current characters proper story lines, let alone adding so many new characters

Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 04:45 PM EST

Nell Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 04:20 PM EST

I thinks that it is good to have new people on the shows, its good to start new people with good talent. Especially Brandon Scott,yes he is a Blair Underwood and a Denzel Washington. Good luck to both.

Bobbi Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 03:12 PM EST

Could you please ask someone what happened to the recap for "The Closer" episode for Monday, 9/8? I can't find another place on here to ask and I can't find the recap anywhere.

Nicole Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 02:49 PM EST

Way too crowded, but I am glad they are adding some much needed color.
Come on Shonda, you are a sister in power and the two African American roles are only sounding boards for your White characters. There have been no Black love scenes since Burke left. That is a shame for such a horny hospital.
Shonda, flex a little muscle and write a fleshed out, sexual, smart, quirky and interesting Black character. PLEASE! Then maybe I will tune in on the 25th. So far, Grey's is off my DVR. Heigl irks me and I hate that they made Callie gay instead of George. I knew he was gay before he was pushed out of the closet. He cannot act that well. Cary Grant, he ain't.

Hannah26 Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 02:16 PM EST

Oh and I am totally addicted to this Grey's game!!! I hope that Izzie in the Denny clips wins! Which is odd b/c I am not a huge fan of her or her character...
http://www.peoplecmg.com/momentology/

Vicky26 Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 02:14 PM EST

I think I might be ok with it once it happens, but the initial though turns me off. I hated that they were bringing Callie on full time and now I dont mind... same thing with Hahn. As long as they try a few out and only keep one or 2 that work, then i am cool. Have you guys watched the recap yet???
http://abc.go.com/player/?channel=125571

Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 02:08 PM EST

This probably means that Janina won't be back on the final episodes of Stargate Atlantis reprising her role as Sgt. Dusty Mehra....I loved her!! :D

john Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 01:18 PM EST

I think is getting too crowed maybe some of the old ones should start worry being killed off (Izzie Alex prop)

nervz Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 01:11 PM EST

$crew Grey's Anatomy! They should bring back Journeyman!

anike Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

sorry to keep carping on it but i'm on a roll her. Kara, I actually didn't mind Christina's scenes last year, I think she actually grew as a character. Sloane on the other hand, I'll never forget this one scene where he had to share some bad news with Meredith or one of the other characters and he just hung his head and it was such bad acting that instead of crying like I usually do, I started laughing! It was so awful and I think that's why he hasn't gotten bigger storylines because he only plays funny well. I think the cool thing about Addison was that she was brought on to play this bitchy ex-wife but because she was so good at playing other situations and emotions she got a bigger role. He can't get a bigger role and is just taking up space playing the same thing over and over. He's got to go! Okay I'm done.

cindy Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:33 PM EST

Ditto - too many characters already for more new ones!

anike Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:28 PM EST

Hahn!! that's her name, get rid of her, she's dull. The reason ER works is that actors would leave and they would replace them. They didn't just keep adding on. So bring new people, GA needs new blood but get rid of people that aren't adding to the show.

anike Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:25 PM EST

The new additions are good, if they can act. They need to get rid of underperformers like McSteamy (he's cute but terrible) and maybe that obnoxious doctor dating Callie, I can't even remember her name and I've watched every episode of the show. I don't dislike Lexie and I don't love her, I wouldn't be upset if they got rid of her and I wouldn't be upset if they kept her. They really need to get rid of Sloane though, he adds nothing to the show and constricts the storylines they can tell. He can only do moderately funny, he can't do drama at all. It drives me nuts. He is no Addison, that's for sure!

liznic Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:06 PM EST

I'm so exicited about Kevin McKidd, however, it does seem like there are too many characters to keep up with. I can't even remember what happened with Alex at the end of the season after the wacky gf incident. And, one whiney Grey is enough ... they should probably transfer Lexie to another state!

Annie Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:05 PM EST

Why on earth they are adding more characters when there are too many as it is..is beyond me. It is too crowded already. That said, if Heigl leaves - the show will be worse off and Heigl better off in my opinion. People can criticize her all they like but she was right. What are people complaining about..storylines not being what they were. So its ok for you to complain but not one of the cast? That is kinda two faced.

Scout Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 11:01 AM EST

Already disgusted in the show because of the George and Lexi situation. George is GAY! Sorry TR but you can't play straight. George is the whinniest character on the show - he should leave with Hiegl. Knocked up would have been just as big of a hit without her in it - can't wait to see her realize that her head is bigger than her movie career.
I want to love this show like I use to, but I just can't. Bring back Addison! I could care less if they bring on new characters as long as Mer/Der are still the center of the show.

Steven Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 10:59 AM EST

Waahhhh Waaaahhhh Waaahhhh I am so stupid I can only keep track of 3 or 4 people. Waaaahhhhh. There are too many people on the show! I only want to see the same original people do the same thing over and over again year after year. Go cry somewhere else you short attention spanned crybabies.

Travis Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 10:37 AM EST

The show is getting way to crowded. I miss the old Katherine Heigl before her head got so big. Let's give the current characters some more air-time.

Kaite Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 09:44 AM EST

This is why I felt Heroes' second season was subpar... too many characters and not enough screen time. Grey's is starting to add too many characters. I could be wrong and they could have great storyline, but I'm not keeping my hopes up for that.

Erica Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 09:17 AM EST

I loved Janina on Grey's....she is so hot!

Shari Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 09:03 AM EST

THE CAST IS TOO BIG! THE CAST IS TOO BIG!!!! THE CAST IS TOO BIG!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, we just want stories aboutt he ORIGINALS again. I'm so going to stop watching this show all over again because I can now be assured all these newbies are going to monopolize screentime from originals I love the way Hahn and Callie have been lately. THis BLOWS.

youngdoc Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 08:57 AM EST

It's about time Grey's considered adding a Black doctor to replace Burke. There are lots of us out here & we need to represented. Thanks a bunch. I still watch but I lost some interest when Burke left the show. I hope the new add Brandon Scott does well & if he's listening...we need you to represent! Thanks a bunch to the show for casting him. You will have me glued to my tv..no doubt.

Lauren Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 08:37 AM EST

I can't wait to see the new guy..he's hot!

T Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 08:31 AM EST

I'm glad GA is adding some new blood. Some of the OG's are getting bored with themselves in their roles. Anyway, look at the way ER evolved with new character injections. It worked. Change is good for the show. That Brandon Scott dude is cool. I saw the Law & Order episode & the Cold Case that he did. Dude is like a young Blair Underwood in his early days. He is on his way up...and the chick from L word rocks too.

Amanda Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 04:47 AM EST

If any of the writers ever read these things can I just ask them to go back and re-watch season 1 - that's why the fans fell in love with the show. That's what made it the success that it became and that's why we don't need a whole host of new characters when the relationships between the originals are no longer explored in this manner. When you've fixed the problem and returned the show to what it was, THEN you can successfully incorporate new characters to back that up... you can't fix the problem with new characters when that's the problem in the first place.

Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:27 AM EST

junior McDreamy??!!
I'm tired to see new cast members!!! PLEASE STOP!!!!!

Maya Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:18 AM EST

If they want to keep fans around with decent long good storylines for Meredith Cristina George and Alex.. then they shouldn't add any more full time. have them as re-accuring is fine I think. BUT NO MORE NEW CHARACTERS.
Concentrate on the ones we have already. So much to do in their storylines.

Greg Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:15 AM EST

Way to crowded unless they loose two main ones now. like izzie and someone else as rumored. other than that, noooooooo... I already get frustrated not getting enough storylines for our major 5.

Ugh... wayyy too crowded already. I'm guessing George passes his intern exam retake and these are his interns? Small, non-speaking roles please!!!! We want more of our beloved characters, not newbies wasting screen time.

Totally agree with almost everyone else that GA does not need any more cast members. He's been on the show for two years now, and I'm still waiting for Shonda to give Mark a storyline. Cristina is a great character, but she was also totally wasted in S4. I want to find out more about the characters already on GA. I don't need what little time they are currently getting each episode diluted further by new characters.

I don't mind new blood as long as they add something to the pot. The actress is pretty and as far as the guy is concerned we need another Black doctor on GA since Burke left the building.

Relax you guys...In how many scenes did we see Lexie last season? That's right, the new people will just be around for a little relief or to beg Meredith to want them...Ow wait, that's Derek and Lexie's job

Why does this show keep making the wrong mistakes? Listen Grey's, the FANS WANT BACK STORIES OF THE INTERNS AND ORIGINALS! Bringing in new people isn't helping the ratings. Grey's lost 20 percent of its viewers last fall. Lexie, Ava, and Hahn didn't help, how in the world do you think more new characters will help?!?

No more fricking people!!!

Way way way waaaaaay too crowded.

GOD! NO NEW REGULAR CAST MEMBERS PLEASE!!! I am begging you Shonda, there are too many people already. We never get to see anything of the characters we actually care about.

You already have about 4 characters that could stand to get off the set. Don't add more, for the love of god! And everytime I seek that freaking disaster of a nurse, I swear I think about never tuning in again. EVERY TIME I SEE HER.

I didn't buy the S4 DVD because she is all over it. No new Merder and more plant scenes. Is someone at ABC on drugs? Just when I think you might be getting it, it turns out you are all hopeless.

But one thing that is in your control, Shonda...NO NEW CHARACTERS except to pop up when necessary.

Oh man! Way too crowded!

This show does not need any more characters. I could see if they have them as recurring ones that pop up from time to time like some of the nurses do. There barely is any screen time for the main characters now. I could see maybe having 9 to 10 regular cast, but no 13 or 14. Pretty much all of the other shows on TV has 6 to 8 members. I don't want to see each character only have 5 minutes of screen time. I want to see the "magic" that had me enthralled at the beginning of this show and not turn it into a soap opera.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no new characters! I'm okay with Kevin McKidd's character, I am. Cristina needs a man, and Derek could use some fun competition but two new interns? NO. The last thing we need is more characters.

H Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 06:46 PM EST

The show is already way too crowded. The original characters don't get enough airtime! I want to see more Mer/Der, mote of Mark, Cristina, and the original 5. Please, stop adding new characters! I don't mind McKidd because he's brought in as a love interest for Cristina, but 2 more people? It's unnecessary.

Elaine Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 06:39 PM EST

Too crowded.

The show doesn't need new interns. I only care about the original interns (Alex, Meredith, Izzie, Cristina and George) and it's just getting to be way to many characters on the show.
