Someone’s been hiding out at Seattle Grace all these years, and trust me when I say you are never going to believe who it is.
Mommie Dearest — Faye Dunaway!
Sources confirm to me exclusively that the Oscar winner (for Network), who hasn’t taken a small-screen gig since a 2006 episode of CSI, has signed on for at least one episode of Grey’s Anatomy to air in February. She’ll play a renowned doc at the hospital who crosses paths with the Chief, Cristina and Owen.
What do you think? Is this the coolest piece of stunt casting so far this year? Hit me below!

umm… no…
this is certainly the best casting stunt i’ve seen in awhile! guess i can’t check out before that.
Nothing against Ms.Dunaway, but they will try anything to save it at this point!
Can’t poor George get a storyline at least?
It’s official, Grey’s Anatomy is rivaling Will and Grace for stunt casting instead of writing good scripts. Shonda should be ashamed. So done with this show, the last episode was lame.
Faye Dunaway . . . playing a surgeon . . . surgery . . . cosmetic surgery . . .
Faye Dunaway. The cycle is complete!
Sad that a once great show has to stoop to stunt casting.
YAWN YAWN YAWN More stunt casting.
I am SHOCKED I TELL YOU!
Izzie’s mother??!!
does greys do anything but add to the cast? every day it’s greys anatomy casting news.
I have to wonder what they put in the fabulous Ms. Dunaway’s drinking water to get her to sign.
Will she be an ALIVE person or a ghost having sex with Owen? Sad how pathetic Grey’s Anatomy has sunk. Stunt casting is all they have to try to save their name
Shonda thinks casting will hide the piss poor writing?? She ain’t fooling anyone.
Hey ABC instead of casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting & casting.
How about FIRING ALL the writers?
Faye Dunaway is not going to save this disaster of a show.
I totally agree with the person who said fire the writers – enough with the new characters and special guest stars. All the star power in the world cannot save GA – they need new writers
too bad she’s playing a doc – why can’t she be izzie’s mum?!
They should have signed Faye about 2 years ago….I would still be with the show, she’s awesome. If her appearance saves the show, they should sign her on…I’ll come back.
Another cast member (even for one episode)? This makes cast member 67 right? Someone pinch me, I must be living a dream. Note to Shonda: Remember the original cast members? You probably don’t (since they are never on screen all that much) but I do and I miss them. STOP THE OVER CASTING OF THIS SHOW!! Cast bloat does not equal quality. Surely Grey’s has to know that by now…(or maybe not judging by this season).
Jeeez ANOTHER doc. It’s getting out of hand!!! My advice: back to the basis. The Meredith/Derek relationship, the 5 “interns” and Bailey being her awesome self.
They need to get rid of Denny and stop casting new people.

i laughed at myself when my reaction was
‘ugggh, seriously?’
and then i realised that no one has said seriously on grey’s in AGES.. probably because we never see the characters we like anymore.
i can’t keep up with these new characters, its getting more complicated than studying for my exams.
Fire the writers, hire a life coach or something to work out the issues between the cast members and give us back what we want.
Mer/Der.. 5 original interns, more BAILEY, someone please fix izzy, keep owen and make the chief kick all the rest out and work on getting a #1 hospital, and show back.
While I like Eric Stolz, I’m tired of the Will and Grace like guest stars. Concentrate on good writing, and all of the main cast members, instead of guest stars. Give Alex more, George more, Lexie more, Chief more,etc. Enough guest stars,cheating,one night stands,and Ghost Denny.
B*tch b*tch b*tch-whine whine whine-complain complain complain-cry cry cry-hyperbole hyperbole hyperbole… The typical Greys Anatomy talkback. If you don’t like the show anymore, DONT WATCH IT. Watch The Office and 30 Rock instead (like me). Or lose more brain cells by watching another procedural drama like CSI. You guys always complain about everything. Just change the channel. I hate Heroes now, do you see me crying about how bad it is? No. Because I moved on LAST season. Do the fans of Greys Anatomy a favor and just stop watching. It’s because of nitpicking crybabies that the show slid creatively. The writers are so receptive to fan critique (unlike other shows) that they take all of your foolish gripes seriously and listen to you guys to the shows own detriment. Faye Dunaway joining a network drama should be greeted with cheers, not pathetic gripes from foolish fans. Write your own scripts, pitch them to ABC, and if it gets picked up, let’s see if you can get to year 5.
She should play Sloan’s mother. Now that’s something I could get behind.
I don’t think adding Dunaway will save the show. I love her and all (Bonnie and Clyde is one of my favorite movies), but it’s just the shows writing and plots. Here are my main problems with the new season:
-Ghost Denny – It’s just getting creepy
-Lack of George – He’s been my favorite since Season 1, now after Gizzie is over he’s been given nothing to do.
-Alex/Izzie – It’s just getting old now. Alex is still an ass, and I find it a little strange that he is not worried about Izzie seeing Denny.
-McSteamy/Lexie – How can he talk so casually about sex with Lexie with Callie?
-Mer/Der – Keep them together. The on again/off again crap is getting old.
I usually hate stunt casting, but my love for Ms. Dunaway definitely makes me cautiously excited. Okay, Grey’s, I’ll give you another chance for now…
Like the interns doing apendectomies on themselves, La Dunaway will give herself a brow lift and a tummy tuck. And then sleep with Sloan. And ignore George. And sleep with Callie. And then stare blamkly at Meredith. We’re talking Shonda spin-off material here, people…
YES, I AM SCREAMING! QUIT BRINGING IN NEW CAST MEMBERS UNTIL YOU GIVE THE EXISTING CAST SOME GOOD STORYLINES1 AND, ELLEN POMPEO, YOU ARE NEEDED IN MAKEUP!
I’m done with this show. Having sex with a ghost? What? God, ER managed to be better than this and it is in its 15th year.
