'Grey's Anatomy' Prescribes a Dose of James Tupper
We're pretty sure that a hospital full of traumatized surgeons isn't
great for busines, so we're glad to report that 'Grey's Anatomy' will
be bringing a trauma counselor into the fold, in order to pick up the
pieces following last season's bloody hostage situation.
And according to the Ausiello Files, that piece picker-upper is none
other than dreamy James Tupper, the 'Men in Trees' star who already
has fictional medical experience thanks to NBC's dearly departed
'Mercy'.
According to Ausiello, Tupper's role is that of Dr. Andrew Perkins;
he's in line to appear in at least two episodes with, we presume, the
chance to return should his character prove popular or have chemistry
with one of our dysfunctional Seattle Grace residents.
'Grey's' returns for season 7 on Sept. 23 in an episode apparently
titled 'With You I'm Born Again'. Just as long as Shonda Rhimes avoids
any more ghostly visitations and near-death-experiences, we're sure
that it'll be must-see TV.
