Barely two months to go before the start of television's fall lineup and there are some initial interesting spoilers for the first episode of Grey's Anatomy's fourth season. When we last saw the doctors and staff of Seattle Grace, Isaiah Washington was still in the cast and his character, Dr. Preston Burke, had left his fianc? standing all alone at the altar. That was just one of the many unanswered cliffhangers when the show closed for the summer.
Since then, Isaiah Washington has been taken out of the picture, Kate Walsh has moved on to her own Grey's Anatomy spin-off and there are new characters to watch out for.
Grey's Anatomy's fall offering opening salvo, entitled ?A Change is Gonna Come,? appears like the perfect harbinger for the new direction the series is expected to take. Here are a few inside details to anticipate:
According to TV Guide's Ask Ausiello, there will be a pair of incoming interns thrust into action when Seattle Grace receives multiple casualties resulting from a three-vehicle mishap.
TV Squad reveals that one intern named Thomson will aid in delivering a baby on his very first day at work. There is also an early installment of the show's staple offbeat storylines, this time involving a young boy who brings a fatally bleeding pet raccoon for the doctor to save.
SpoilerFix.com mentions the story involving one of the victims in the car accident. A man named Henry has sustained severe traumatic injuries and the doctor tells his wife, Clara, and their two young children that his head is fastened to his body by nothing more than skin and muscle and that he will die inevitably.
Fans will definitely be eager to witness where the series is headed after a somewhat lackluster third season. It remains to be seen whether the writers and producers are up to the task in steering the program back to its award-winning form.
