i know it's boring, but it's all there is to talk about today. fall shows are officially back in production and casting news and plot lines are starting to leak out. first up: ugly betty. betty has officially been replaced by soprano's star jamie lynn sigler. don't worry; sigler is just taking over betty's old job as assistant to daniel meade (becuase betty got promoted to editor in the season finale). jamie will play natalie, a recurring character who is part sexy, part spiritual. sigler will first pop up on the second episode of the season on october 16th. yep, betty won't be back until october 9th. starting so late and the move to friday for the abc show really makes me nervous. hopefully the alphabet net has some really creative advertising efforts and knows that friday ratings are always less than stellar; betty deserves more than just one final, crappy season. reports are surfacing that a long planned musical edition of the show will take place this coming season to keep interest ... in grey's anatomy news, creator shonda rimes is preparing herself for inevitable cast exits. after tr knight's not so shocking departure from the show, rimes knows that an ensemble drama is bound to have a revolving door of cast members sooner or later. the next cast member to leave the show is ellen pompeo, aka meredith grey. but, don't worry - ellen is just leaving for maternity leave and plans on getting back as soon as possible. there's no word on just how meredith's leave will be explained, but it definitely won't be because she and mcdreamy are also with child. shonda plans on taking the show in a more stand alone direction during meredith's absence. rimes also has plans that - if ellen ever did decide to leave the show - little grey (chyler leigh's lexi) could take over the as the "grey" in grey's anatomy.
that's all folks.
