ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson spoke out about Grey’s Anatomy’s controversial love affair between Dr. Izzie Stevens and her dead fiancé Denny, an affair that we have been speaking out about for months. Turns out our anti-ghost-lovin’ stance is the exact opposite of Mr. McPherson’s pro-Denny position.
To sum up the ABC prez’s view –
The Denny-Izzie storyline ain’t so bad. He says:
“I actually think when you get to the end of the season and you see everything she had in mind, it might not be your cup of tea, but I think you'll be surprised at how insightful and smart that storyline itself is in terms of the dynamics it's creating for the characters involved and where we end up with those characters at the end” (ew.com).
Oh, oh, and also “[Denny] is not a ghost, which you will learn.”
Okay, touché Mr. McPrez, Denny is not a ghost. But is he real? Is Denny a live human being? No? Then it’s still creepy. And it’s even creepier that Izzie’s little doctor friends and colleagues let her walk around a hospital talking to herself for weeks on end whilst, whilst being entrusted with people’s lives.
It’s creepiest that her roommate doctor friends have let her have loud yelly sex with her dead boyfriend thinking that she’s just a loud yelly masturbator. That’s creepy. Don’t yell while you’re going solo (but not solo since your dead BF is apparently there for the assist). Don’t moan and call dead Denny’s name while your roommates are home. Creepy.
Also, Izzie is annoying. Can we fix that somehow? And Meredith too. Annoying.
Wow, we really got worked up there. Maybe we’ll go soothe ourselves. But quietly, and without a dead fiancé.
