When a TV show has been on the air for, like, a millennium, keeping things fresh and introducing new characters is the only way to keep even die-hard viewers glued to their screens. Considering ABC's Grey's Anatomyhas captivated prime-time viewers since 2005 (being a staple series in the Shondaverse), it has mastered the art of perfect comfort television via impressive character development and juicy storylines involving imperfect but sexy doctors.

Season 20 of the five-time Emmy-winning medical drama saw Natalie Morales guest star as pediatric surgeon Dr. Monica Beltran, who's more interested in being a great doctor than getting buddy-buddy with her Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital colleagues. After appearing in six episodes of Grey's Anatomy Season 20, Morales officially joined Season 21 as a recurring cast member.

Morales spoke with MovieWebahead of the theatrical release of her film My Dead Friend Zoe, discussing what made her come back to Grey's for another handful of episodes as the no-nonsense Dr.

Ellen Pompeo recently shared an emotional moment on the set of Grey's Anatomy that had her struggling to keep her emotions in check. She said her daughter also cried at the scene.

"Now or Never," the season finale of Grey's Anatomy Season 5, was an intense, emotional rollercoaster with the fate of Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) hanging in the balance. When an unrecognizable John Doe is rushed to the emergency room after being hit by a bus, he communicates with Meredith (Pompeo), tracing "007" on her hand -- letting her know he is actually George.

A new Agatha Christie adaptation starring Anjelica Huston gets an official trailer and first look with images of the cast.

"Double-oh seven. Which, by the way, my daughter had the same reaction when she saw the 007. She literally cried," Pompeo said in an interview with People.

Ellen Pompeo is ditching Meredith Grey’s scrubs for her new role in the Hulu series Good American Family. Pompeo, best known for her portrayal of the titular character in the long-running ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, is starring in the new series for the streamer in which she plays an adopted parent of a child that may not be as she seems.

Hulu just released the first trailer for Good American Family, and announced the series will premiere on March 19 with the first two episodes of the eight-episode limited drama series dropping that day. The show, which was previously going by the title Orphan, is inspired by a true story of Natalia Grace and the couple who adopted her believing she was a child with dwarfism. However, the couple started to think that she may not be who she appears to be.

Pompeo stars as Kristine Barnett along with...

Spoilers for Seasons 11 through 17 of 'Grey's Anatomy.'Over the 20 years that it has been airing, Grey's Anatomy has successfully cemented itself as one of the most popular medical drama shows of all time. This accolade is not surprising, considering the wild plot lines, interesting characters, and emotional moments that the show is built on. Throughout the 21 seasons, audience members have been introduced to a variety of unique individuals, both doctors and patients alike. Some have stuck around since the beginning, like Dr. Meredith Grey and Dr. Miranda Bailey, while others have briefly stolen the show before making their untimely exits, like Dr. April Kepner and Dr. Lexie Grey. Although it is undeniable that many characters in the Grey's Anatomy universe have received...

Jessie T. Usher recently discussed Netflix's upcoming series Pulse, likening its feel to the early seasons of ABC's acclaimed, long-running medical drama series, Grey's Anatomy. Usher, most well-known for playing the superhero A-Train in the fan-favorite Prime Video series The Boys, will play the Emergency Medicine Resident Sam Elijah in Pulse.

Usher made the Grey's Anatomy comparison in an interview with Screen Rant. The actor refused to give away key story points but called the upcoming Netflix show sexy, romantic, and dramatic. He also expressed that Pulse was a nice change of pace from his experience filming The Boys. "Yeah, Pulse is a medical drama, so Netflix, it'll be airing sometime this spring," he began. "I play Dr. Elijah. I can't give away story points on it, but it has the feel of early Grey's Anatomy. It's sexy, and it's romantic, and it's dramatic in a lot of ways.

132 rooms. 157 suspects. 1 dead body. That’s the premise behind The Residence, a comedic mystery thriller produced by Shonda Rhimes that's set to hit Netflix this March. Starring Uzo Aduba of Orange is the New Black fame, the new trailer for the series was recently released, and showcases all the drama and laughs we can expect from the Shondaland production, which also features a slew of other heavy hitters like Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Jason Lee, Ken Marino, and Bronson Pinchot.

Inspired by the book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House by Kate Andersen Brower, the trailer for Rhimes' latest (seen below) makes it seem like Clue set in the White House. It opens inside the hallowed halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where we meet Aduba's character of Cordelia Cupp, a consultant with the Metropolitan Police Department who's tasked with unraveling the mystery behind a dead body...

We may not have much time to miss Grey’s Anatomy’s Jake Borelli. The actor, who scrubbed out midway through what would have been his eighth season in Thursday’s episode (recapped here), is already talking about returning to the long-running ABC drama.

“I’m very hopeful,” Borelli tells our sister site Deadline. “I think the audience is interested to see what Levi is up to, I certainly am. He has so many connections to people still at the hospital… I couldn’t imagine the birth of [Jo Wilson’s] babies without Levi bending the world to get there.”

A Grey's Anatomy casting update has revealed that a new arrival in the cast has been promoted for the upcoming season. The long-running medical drama has followed the personal and professional lives of the staff at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly the Seattle Grace Hospital) since it premiered on ABC in 2005. The upcoming Grey's Anatomy season 21 will feature the return of longtime main cast members Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr., as well a recurring appearance from Ellen Pompeo's Meredith Grey, who left the series in season 19 though she remains on board as producer and narrator.

Per Variety, Natalie Morales has been upgraded from a guest star to a recurring cast member for Grey's Anatomy season 21. Her character, pediatric surgeon Dr. Monica Beltran, originally made her debut in season 20 and has so far appeared in six episodes. At the time of writing, it is unknown how many episodes...

The possibility of Station 19 cameos in Grey's Anatomy season 21 gets addressed by showrunner Meg Marinis. Even though the ABC firefighter drama signed off with its series finale earlier this year, the upcoming episodes of the hospital soap will include a major character from the spinoff. Jason George will continue the role of Dr. Ben Warren, joining Grey's Anatomy season 21 as a series regular. It has sparked speculation about whether other Station 19 cast members might be able to make an appearance.

Ahead of the premiere of Grey's Anatomy season 21, which returns Thursday, September 26 at 10 Pm Et on ABC, the latest update from TVLine provides some insight into whether Carina DeLuca Bishop (Stefania Spampinato) and Taryn Helm (Jaicy Elliot) might appear. Marinis, an executive producer who took over as showrunner as of season 20, seemingly indicated that Carina could make an appearance. Read the showrunner's comments below:

Scandal, Season 4, Episode 2, “The State of the Union”

Written by Heather Mitchell

Directed by Allison Liddi-Brown

Airs Thursdays at 9pm Est on ABC

On this week’s Scandal, Olivia is blackmailed by Cyrus, Abby breaks through to Mellie, Huck and Quinn address their issues, Fitz seeks Olivia’s advice, and Rosen adopts Olivia’s methods for “winning.”

One of the best decisions Scandal is making this season is allowing the deaths of Harrison, Jerry, and James to hang heavy over the characters. Rather than quickly moving past everyone’s grief, as fast-paced shows have a tendency to do, season four is keeping the dead present in almost every scene. As a result, this season is much darker than past seasons, and Scandal is already better for it. This show has frequently crossed into melodramatic territory, but the healthy dose of realism is doing an excellent job keeping Scandal grounded.

Parenthood, Season 5, Episode 16, “The Enchanting Mr. Knight”

Written by Julia Brownell

Directed by Allison Liddi-Brown

Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC

This week, on Parenthood: Julia accepts some blame, Crosby eavesdrops, and Sarah makes a choice

Parenthood knocked it out of the park last week by focusing in on the difficult transitions happening for Julia, Sydney and Victor, and Amy. It was somewhat of a respite, with the various Bravermans coming to each other’s aid and generally being the best versions of themselves. This week that break is extended somewhat, with each of the main storylines in a holding pattern. While the episode is entertaining, it’s far from essential and indicative of the growing pains present this season, with the series that so excellently adapted to a shorter episode order last year straining to expand back to its full 22 episode order.

The most successful scenes this...

Parenthood, Season 5, Episode 15, “Just Like at Home”

Written by Ian Deichtman & Kristin Rusk Robinson

Directed by Allison Liddi-Brown

Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC

This week, on Parenthood: Sydney and Victor spend their first weekend away, Drew talks to Amy, and siblings are the best

Parenthood has struggled this season with a handful of storylines, most notably the Julia and Joel friction and eventual trial separation. While this arc has felt contrived and frustratingly unexplored, from Joel’s perspective at the very least, the fallout from his decision two episodes ago has been fantastic, both in concept and execution. This week, Sydney and Victor head to Joel’s new apartment for their first weekend away from home, leaving Julia alone with her thoughts (and Orange is the New Black), and watching each set of characters react to this, and the way writers Ian Deichtman and Kristin Rusk Robinson...

Alfonso Cuarón wins 2014 DGA Award for ‘Gravity’ (photo: Directors Guild of America Award winner Alfonso Cuarón and last year’s DGA Award winner Ben Affleck) As expected, Alfonso Cuarón won the 2014 Directors Guild of America Award for the blockbuster Gravity at a January 25, 2014, ceremony held at Los Angeles’ Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. “We saw all these photographs of earth from space, and it’s absolutely beautiful; hues of greens and blues,” Cuarón told the crowd after receiving his award from last year’s DGA winner, Ben Affleck. “Everything seems so organic [from space]. Those silly lines and boundaries we put on political maps, you can’t see that from space. It’s a bizarre experiment of nature, that is the human experience. And it’s what we as directors try to sort out as filmmakers.” A mix of space thriller and inspirational soap opera that has just about nothing to do with...

Another Oscar pre-cursor award was handed out Saturday night.

Director Alfonso Cuarón won the DGA’s Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for Gravity. This top honor puts him in a good spot to win the Academy Award for Best Director on Oscar Sunday, March 2. The awards for 2013 were announced during the 66th Annual DGA Awards Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. Other DGA nominees were Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips); Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave); David O. Russell (American Hustle); and Martin Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street).

With just five weeks until the Oscars are announced from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, 12 Years A Slave, which tied with Gravity last Saturday to earn the top award at the Producers Guild, seems to be in a three-way race with American Hustle which took home the Screen Actors Guild award last weekend.

Scandal, Season 3, Episode 2, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”

Written by Heather Mitchell

Directed by Allison Liddi-Brown

Airs Thursdays at 10pm Et on ABC

On this week’s Scandal, Olivia Pope goes to war with The White House (again), Fitz grows some “presidential-sized balls,” Mellie manages to shock Cyrus, and Jake is granted a reprieve from the horrifying hole of insanity.

No one on Scandal works (or lives) in Wonderland–especially not Olivia Pope herself. At any given moment on the show, somebody is fighting for their life, their career, their reputation, etc. After so much fighting, you’d think every character on the cast would be ready to drop their D.C. lives and head to Vermont for some jam-making, but no, that’s not how these Gladiators work. They’ll fight to the death; unfortunately, such unrelenting determination means people will begin to crack.

Luckily for the viewers,...

Revenge, Season 2, Episode 18: “Masquerade”

Written by Sunil Nayar and JaSheika James

Directed by Allison Liddi-Brown

Airs Sundays at 9pm (Et) on ABC

“I try to keep the ghosts out but they always find a way back in”, Victoria tells Conrad in this week’s episode of Revenge, “Masquerade”. When Emily learns that Victoria has a son you know that it’s game on and the this season has shifted. While the secrets are important, it’s now going to be about bringing those secrets to light.

So much of this season has been about seeing Victoria get thrown off her game. Watching Emily unsettle Victoria with reminders of the son she gave up is one of the most rewarding parts of the episode. The masquerade scenes are beautifully filmed, both delicious to look at and the eerie culmination of an episode full of black roses and ominous lines like “sometimes self-deception can be therapeutic,...

“Diabolic”

Written By: Christopher Hollier

Directed By: Allison Liddi Brown

Original Airdate: 4 November 2012

In This Episode...

Gavin enlists the help of Dr. Evans to draw blood from Olivia to make sure her fainting spell was nothing more serious than too much alcohol. He does, and as per Gavin’s wishes, does not tell Olivia that chloroform was in her system. Olivia is met at lunch one day by a man named Victor Shaw, who hints that Gavin might not be the man she thinks he is, and suggests Olivia get her own blood test. She does, discovers the chloroform, and confronts Gavin about it. He admits everything: that she was knocked out by a lunatic who was terrorizing the Drake. He didn’t want to worry her, but someone broke into the safe. The other safe. Olivia is instantly worried that they are not safe. Gavin assures...

Back during Season 2 of ABC’s Private Practice (Thursdays at 10/9c), I was using words such as “shrill” and “steely” to describe Dr. Charlotte King, who at the time was but the chief of staff at St. Ambrose and a sometime thorn in Oceanside’s side.

My, how she’s grown.

“Who would have thought this would have been where Charlotte would go?” KaDee Strickland muses as she surveys her current storyline, in which Charlotte is helping husband Cooper (played by Paul Adelstein) deal with the life-threatening illness of his newly discovered son’s baby mama, Erica (A.J. Langer). “There...

Things fall apart. That would seem to be the message of this week's powerfully moving episode of Friday Night Lights ("Fracture"), written by Bridget Carpenter and directed by Allison Liddi, but that's not really what's at play here. A beautifully nuanced episode about fracturing relationships and imploding teams, it was also a portrait of the way in which connections can occur and fractured relationships can knit themselves back together. Just as the Dillon Lions seem to be at their lowest point, things get even worse for them. A fight breaks out between Vince and Luke as they prepare to take the stage at a pep rally. Coach Taylor is forced to utter a lie about victory even as he sees his team struggling to be a unified front. Julie turns her car around once more. But it's the little moments that offer some hope: the way that Becky leaves the...

On Thursday (Nov. 4) night's episode of "Private Practice" we saw the aftermath of Charlotte's (KaDee Strickland) brutal assault.

Strickland talked to Zap2it about Charlotte's decision to hide the rape from everybody besides Addison (Kate Walsh) and the affect it will have on all of the relationships on the show. "Shonda's [Rhimes, the show's creator] is not letting this thing go, and I'm very grateful to her because it's rich and interesting."

Strickland shared some behind-the-scenes details with us, including the director's (Allison Liddi-Brown) decision to not let Paul Adelstein see her in make-up (which took about four or five hours) until his character Cooper did for the first time. "Paul was not allowed to see me until we did it on camera. We just didn't let him see it," she explains. "When you watch the episode what you see happen to Cooper is as pure as the driven snow. It's really beautiful. He's wonderful in it.

"Mad Men" has grabbed a gong at the 62nd Annual Directors Guild of America Awards which was held on Saturday, January 30. Earning one nom each in Dramatic Series category for three episodic directors Jennifer Getzinger, Lesli Linka Glatter and Matthew Weiner, this AMC's drama has given the prize to Glatter.

In movie categories, meanwhile, Kathryn Bigelow has beaten her ex-husband James Cameron for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film award. Thus, "The Hurt Locker" helmer has set her name as the first woman ever to win the top award from the awards event.

Bigelow beat out fellow directors James Cameron ("Avatar"), Lee Daniels ( "Precious: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire"), Jason Reitman ("Up in the Air") and Quentin Tarantino ("Inglourious Basterds").
