GREY'S ANATOMY: Gone too far?Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times writes: "For a minute there it looked like GREY'S ANATOMY had chosen medicine over soap, character-driven drama over silliness. When this season opened with the Chief kicking butt and taking names because Seattle Grace had lost its prestigious rating, it looked like the writers room was calling itself on its own occasional lapses into absurdity and was attempting to find footing once again in the land of grown-up television. For a minute there, it seemed like everything would be just fine. Now, of course, even the most dedicated "Grey's" fan has had her (there cannot be a single male fan left, can there?) faith rattled to the point of simple bone weariness.
GREY'S create ghost story as an Emmy vehicle for Katherine Heigl
According to Michael Ausiello, who reveals the twist in the Izzie/Denny ghost storyline, Shonda Rhimes "didn't cook up this story in order to grant Katherine Heigl's alleged wish to be let go from the show. Rather, the boss wanted to give her employee the thing she allegedly wanted, the thing that eluded her last season: great, Emmy-worthy material."
SARA A. BIBEL: How To Cut A Budget
"Daytime's economic downturn began in the mid-1990s. These latest budget cuts mean we are now in a Daytime Depression. The crisis has spread from DOOL to the ABC and CBS shows. I'm astonished at how much mainstream coverage this is getting. Variety singled out daytime in an article on the impact of the recession on the television industry. Fans have understandably focused on departures and salary cuts of favorite actors. As someone who has worked behind the scenes, I want to explore how the budget cuts impact shows as a whole."

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: ALL MY CHILDREN's Peter White"I started on the show around 1974," White recalls of his early days on AMC. "When Eileen [Herlie] came on and we all realized we were going to have our storylines together…forgive me for saying this, but that's when soaps — [including] ALL MY CHILDREN — were really good." White has many fond memories of his co-star. "Eileen just sort of fit in. Eileen, Francesca (James; ex-Kitty) and I, we connected royally. I remember talking to Agnes Nixon (the show's creator), and she said, 'I have to write a storyline about you guys, because you all get along so well!' That was sort of it; we just became instant family and have been ever since, which is great."

FNL's Kitsch in CanadaThat the man who makes even Hugh Jackman a little antsy about his looks was at Amber in Yorkville last Friday. The FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS hunk and good Alberta boy Taylor Kitsch was spotted there after the Gemini Awards.
The manly work of art only has a few months of relative serenity left, they say, because he has a breakout role in Hugh's big Wolverine movie, out next year. Indeed, at a recent press thing for the film, there was more fan frenzy for Taylor than Hugh, which caused People's Sexiest Man to quip that he was a little "jealous" of the Canadian.
