Lifetime has lined up some serious talent (and eye candy) for the first two (of four!) new TV-movie adaptations of Nora Roberts novels.
Emilie de Ravin (Lost), Ivan Sergei (Jack & Jill) and Cybill Shepherd will star in High Noon, while Jerry O'Connell (Do Not Disturb Crossing Jordan), Lauren Stamile (Rose from Grey's Anatomy) and Faye Dunaway lead the cast of ...

Rose is no shrinking violet when it comes to getting McDumped by McDreamy. Given the cozy, candle-burning climax of Grey's Anatomy's season finale, it's no big surprise that Lauren Stamile's run as Derek's squeeze may be nearing its end. But the typically oh-so-nice nurse won't be scrubbed out quietly.Sources tell me exclusively that when Rose is excised from the superstar surgeon's love life, though she plays it cool with Mer, she is far from Zen about the whole thing with the boyfriend. "I'd count on at least one emotional outburst," previews a setsider. "Rose is not her usual composed self with Derek." What's more, although as recently as this afternoon the talk was that Stamile would only appear in the two-hour season opener, there are now rumblings that Rose may remain a thorn in the supercouple's side just a tiny bit longer. What's your take? Would you have liked to see Meredith be given a more formidable rival? Or can no mere mortal stand in the way of the Mer-Der romance? ...

Around the time Bailey got a big hug from McDreamy, comforting her in her hour of need, my heart began to break. Not so much for BaileyI felt for her, but figured her little boy would be OKbut for fans of Thursday night TV, who were enjoying their last normal night of mostly original programming for the foreseeable future.Parting is such sweet sorrow even under normal circumstances, when a typical season ends on schedule in May. But to have premature and unintended strike-imposed finales so soon into the new year, and just as some of these shows are hitting their stride (not just Greys Anatomy, but also Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl and 30 Rock, to name just a few shows that aired first-rate original episodes this week that just happened to be the last ones in the can), it feels wrong. In fact, it sucks.At least we have two more episodes of Ugly Betty to enjoy until its inventory is depleted. Last night was a typical hoot, with Annie Pot...

After a long absence Greys Anatomy returned tonight with what could be the last glimpse we have at Seattle Grace for a whileand they did not disappoint In a change from the norm Bailey talked us through tonights episode and from the moment she stated God created man and its been downhill ever since we knew that it was going to be a night unlike any otherDerek and Mark started things off by taking what looked like a light-hearted nature walk through the woods Their travels ended up on a picturesque hilltop where Derek exclaimed he was going to build his dream house He wasnt kidding With the architectural plans already mapped out Derek blindsided Meredith with the news and her reaction was less than enthusiastic Perhaps she was as shocked as I was to learn that McDreamy had put any thought into ever moving out of his shiny trailer Or perhaps she was too preoccupied with her culinary creation for Lexie to properly process the news Either way I was disap

In tonight's Grey's Anatomy (9 pm/ET, ABC) — the last original episode filmed before the writers' strike — Derek deals with the repercussions of kissing nurse Rose after they bonded during a particularly hairy brain surgery a few weeks ago. Played by Oklahoma native Lauren Stamile, Rose is scheduled to appear in at least seven episodes. And with tonight only marking Stamile's fourth appearance, we can expect to see Rose complicating the Derek-Meredith romance a bit more. As Stamile says with a laugh, "Something else has to happen!"
TV Guide: Tonight, Derek deals with the aftermath of kissing Rose. What more can you tell us? Lauren Stamile: All I can really say is that things go a little bit differently than people would expect. [Derek and Rose
