The big talk about Grey's Anatomy right now is how (and why) Katherine Heigl's character of Izzy Stevens is having sex with her dead boyfriend, Denny Duquette (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.) Toward the beginning of the season, there was talk of Izzy developing a brain tumor as a way of killing her off after Katherine talked a bunch of poop about the Grey's writers, but creator Shonda Rhimes denied that they're killing her character off, and is denying that it's a brain tumor. The new rumor is that she has an aneurysm-like disease that's causing all of her hallucinations. And execs on the show can do nothing but back Shonda.
It's definitely an unorthodox story, but I trust in Shonda. If we interfere, we get blamed for messing with someone's creative vision. If we don't do anything, we get blamed for the backlash. You really can't win.
Here's what I don't get. You fire Brooke Smith (Dr. Erica Hahn) because you tell her you have nothing left for the storyline of her character (who JUST realized she's a lesbian), yet you can justify the storyline of a character banging a dead guy? Yeah that's not fishy or anything.
