Rocky Carroll, NCIS: DVD and Hiatus News | Celebrity Blogs | 4/23/2009
Greetings,

All of a sudden, it's summer in Los Angeles. We've had near-100 degree weather the last couple of days. The weather's even hotter in Valencia, where we film NCIS, so I think our hiatus couldn't have come at a better time.

Yes, Season 6 is a wrap. We celebrated the end of the season (cast, crew, post production, publicity, a few guest stars, etc;) with a wrap party this past Saturday. It's one of the few times that everyone connected with the show has a chance to get together. Lots of hugs, handshakes and plans to hang out during hiatus. Pauley Perette introduced us to a great Italian restaurant during the season, so a few of us plan to meet there for dinner during the break. It's great to work on a show where you want to spend time with each other away from the set.

Some of you have asked about the Season 6 DVD and ... read more 44 Comments

Grey's Anatomy Stars Dissect Finale Shockers | Today's News: Our Take | 6/2/2008
Romance — both onscreen and off — was the topic of the day at the Chrysalis Awards, held Saturday night at a private estate in Brentwood, Calif. Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller made their first public appearance as husband and wife at the event, which was hosted by their good friends (and matchmakers!) Eric Dane (Grey's Anatomy)and Rebecca Gayheart.Dane was mum on Sheen's ceremony, saying only, "I had a good time." He admitted he hasn't yet bought the newlyweds a present, noting, "You have a whole year to get someone a gift, and we're going to take every inch of it." As far as his own marriage to Gayheart, he said, "It is great. I don't know how I got so lucky." He then added that he and Gayheart are "working on kids."Several Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice stars — Kate Walsh and Tim Daly included — showed to support Dane.

Over an hour into tonights two hour finale it hit mewe needed some humor to lighten up this very dark episode Nothing seemed to be going right Meredith and Derek were at each others throats over the latest loss in their clinical trial Rebecca kept getting worse and was in need of serious medical attention but Alex was in serious denial and the man in cement seemed to be doomed among other things So is it wrong that when Cristina snapped at Erica in the OR I almost cheered For the first time something seemed to be going right---Cristina was in the zone and finally standing up for herself The only thing better than that was the look of shock on Ericas face when the Chief agreed Hahn needed to back off and let Cristina do her thing I take that back the best moment came later when the Chief confronted Hahn after the operation and told her she needed to handle the residents better You need to learn how to teach without crushing their read more be the first to leave a comment

Finally after weeks of speculation theres a kiss Not the kiss that is supposed to shock us all thats supposed to come next weekbut an intriguing kiss nonetheless Im talking of course about Callie and Erica in the elevator While the motivation for the lip-lock could obviously be attributed to Ericas desire to rile up Mark who is turning over a new leaf one could also argue that it might have had more meaning for one or both of the ladies involved Hopefully next week will shed more light on that oneMeanwhile Derek and Meredith found themselves working with a new patient Greta Regina Taylor who appeared to be suffering from a romantic delusion involving a guy she allegedly met on a cruise Gretas only request was that they hold off on the surgery until he could arrive which prompted a huge debate between Derek and Meredith do they wait for this phantom love and sacrifice precious time or do they move read more be the first to leave a comment
