(I really can’t say I’m upset about it. I’ve never liked her)

Pointed questioning forced Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice creator Shonda Rhimes to air her thoughts about the variety of dustups, large and small, that have continued to erupt around her blockbuster baby and its spinoff. On replacing Merrin Dungey — who already appeared as a main character in the Grey’s episode that served as Practice’s pilot — with Broadway star Audra Macdonald: ”I don’t think we can really go wrong with a four-time Tony winner.” On recent revelations that booted Grey’s star Isaiah Washington was in talks with rival net NBC before he got word that he was no longer welcome at Seattle Grace: ”I wasn’t aware of any conversation he had. But he’s a really talented actor, and I hope Bionic Woman does well — just not as well as Private Practice.” On the much-maligned George-and-Izzy coupling: ”I’m not necessarily saying George and Izzy are the love story of the century. People make mistakes and [their hookup] may or may not be one.” And, most importantly, of course, on the unnerving talking elevator in the Practice episode: ”I don’t know if it will be back.”  (Thank God!!!)
