RATING:


ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” had its drama-filled, two-hour season premiere Thursday night.

At the end of last season, viewers were left thinking that doctors Izzie Stevens and George O’Malley had died; Stevens from her battle with skin cancer and O’Malley from getting hit by a bus to save a woman’s life.

But, at the beginning of this season, we find out that although O’Malley had died, Stevens did not.

The premiere shows the continuing struggles as Stevens continues her cancer treatment and a long farewell to O’Malley.

Also, at the end of the episode, we find out that Seattle Grace Hospital is merging with Mercy Hospital.

The premiere was intense and a great way to open the new season. Old storylines are closing, while others are just beginning and it will be interesting to see them unfold in this new season.

So, what are we going to see? My prediction would be that Izzie and her husband, Alex Karev, will run into some kind of marriage problems due to what was seen in the premiere, the merge of the two hospitals will lead us to see a lot of the cast leave the show, and Dr. Bailey is going to need some kind of psychological help for her continuing breakdowns over patients since last season.

“Grey’s Anatomy” airs at 8 p.m. Thursday on ABC.
