| Oh the accusations are still there. I keep reading he and Katie went to Perez Hilton to destroy the poor poor Isiah. I also keep hearing he has bashed the show and his stories repeatedly. When TR fans ask for proof of that, of course there never is any. They never remember where they read it, and never have time to look, or my favorite is TR had his co-stars speak out for him and he's the one who instructed them to do it. Then there are the jokes about TR being Mark's sugar daddy as if there was no way Mark could like TR for himself. The constant jokes about the age difference comes off as hypocritical because, in this business, there are so many people with people half their age, but since they are straight, it comes off looking ok. Hugh Heffner is considered cool for dating firls who could be his grand-daughters, but TR is considered a predator. Yes wanderer, I was talking about Henry. I haven't watched ATWT in a long while, but I did love him a lot. Mondler survived because the writers wouldn't listen to the critics and the shallow fans, and the fans grew to love them. Gizzie was gaining a lot of fans too by the time they ended. In fact, many critics, including the official GA magazine, pointed out that while Gizzie was hated by mostly everyone at first, they had gained a pretty huge fanbase by the end. I remember a lot of former haters falling in love with them after George declared his love. I have two friends who used to hate them and started loving them after that moment. If Shonda had stick with it, I am sure the number of fans would just have continued to grow, but she gave up very fast. The critics never really accepted Mondler though. Even very recently, I have read journalists and critics point to Mondler as the jump the shark moment in Friends, the couple thta killed friends. In fact, one newspaper claimed the fans NEVER accepted them and they never even came close to RR, It's absolutely untrue as Mondler had many fans but some critics still deny that. I watched Can't buy me love so yeah I do remember PD as th cute geeky guy. You know looking at those photos of TR, especially those of him in a tux, I find him absolutely gorgeous. He might not be the conventional hunk, but he is a cutie for sure. Wanderer, I find it funny so many people found George cuter than McSteamy and McDreamy. There was something in a site I go to, and George also won the best-loooking guy there. It seems there are many people who do find him good-looking despite what the critics think. __________________ Gizzie love forever![]() Gizzie, Nick and Tess, Josh and Reva, Meredith and Derek, Phoebe and Cole, Luke and Laura, Shawn and Belle, Lucas and Peyton, Andy and Prue, Ryan and Marissa, Dan and Serena, Anne and Gilbert, Viki and Ryan, Mallet and Dinah, Phillip and Beth, Ross and Rachel, Kyle and Fish Avvie by Red | |||

| Speaking of PD, I had a dream about McDreamy(I know ) last night after watching the last few episodes of season 2. I've really started to appreciate MerDer recently. Anyway, now that I think about it, McDreamy is like an older more experienced version of George. And George in the later seasons seemed to grow into himself...becoming more confident, excellent in his field of trauma, and knew what he wanted in life and pursued it. ![]() __________________ ~Eden~ Icon: angel4dylan628 | |||

| I'm glad you did. I always enjoyed MerDer, not enough to continue watching for them though. I just always loved their chemistry and love for each other. Thinking back about it, unlike Mark and Alex, Derek has always been nice with George, and he told Bailey he was a geek in high school (I think a joke back to PD's early days), and I loved how he told George he wasn't going anywhere in the finale. He was so tender with him. So yes, Derek does make me think of an older George. He's probably the one guy I like on the show now that my beloved George and Denny are dead, though he has his bad moments. I agree. George grew a lot, and he was finally showing his amazing potential as a doctor, the one we saw as early as the elevator surgery in season 2. He finally started to believe in himself like Owen and Burke did. __________________ Gizzie love forever![]() Gizzie, Nick and Tess, Josh and Reva, Meredith and Derek, Phoebe and Cole, Luke and Laura, Shawn and Belle, Lucas and Peyton, Andy and Prue, Ryan and Marissa, Dan and Serena, Anne and Gilbert, Viki and Ryan, Mallet and Dinah, Phillip and Beth, Ross and Rachel, Kyle and Fish Avvie by Red | |||

I knew he used to smoke, but didn't know how recently he had quit. In fact, I never knew that JC smokes, or did he quit as well? Either way, good for T.R. for quitting! It's a hard addiction to break.I never knew that about Mondler. I always liked them, so go figure Sounds like Gizzie... Except the writers on Friends were smart and didn't give in to the shallow people - that's where Grey's Anatomy went wrong. Pfft, everyone hated Mondler, eh? Everyone I've met that likes Friends likes Mondler.Quote:
I'm glad you brought up the Hugh Heffner thing. Did you know that he actually breaks up with them and has them leave the Playboy house when they reach a certain age? Gwen, I like the way you worded your thoughts on his departure. This line in particular I couldn't agree with more: "Sadly ABC/ Shonda capitulated. Without their support and not having substantial storylines to remind people of his talent the ugly accusations seemed to be tacitly confirmed. TR does need a break from this hysteria and a chance to prove himself." Cindy, Gwen, great photos! T.R. is very handsome when he's cleaned up and in a suit, but there's always something so appealing about his scruffier look ![]() Quote:
Agreed. I have a feeling that if you ever met him one of the first sentences out of your mouth would be, "How'd you get that scar?!" Then you would proceed to tell him how he is even more handsome in person and how gorgeous his eyes are ![]() ![]() ![]() On an off-topic note, my dad and I went to Dubuque, IA to celebrate father's day and, since we go there only a few times a year and live about 60 miles from the nearest mall, we stopped into Borders to pick up a book I've been wanting. I have a strange feeling that some people here may already have the book, but I thought I'd share the cover of it because some of you may be interested: click (Photobucket). __________________ R.I.P., Dr. George O'Malley.

| If I met him, I'd probably ramble. I love that scar too, so so hot. Did he ever talk about how he get it? Gwen? Where is that first photo from? Who's the guy with him? TR looks so handsome there. I'm going to need a TR photo library with all those cute photos you guys find. Oh I nevers aw that Noises off photo before. What's the play about? Is that Peter Gallagher in the back? It looks fun. I wish I could have seen it. __________________ Gizzie love forever![]() Gizzie, Nick and Tess, Josh and Reva, Meredith and Derek, Phoebe and Cole, Luke and Laura, Shawn and Belle, Lucas and Peyton, Andy and Prue, Ryan and Marissa, Dan and Serena, Anne and Gilbert, Viki and Ryan, Mallet and Dinah, Phillip and Beth, Ross and Rachel, Kyle and Fish Avvie by Red | |||

T.R. plays Tim Allgood, the company and stage manager. Tim reminded me so much of George with the way he'd word things and would make errors. There's a part where he has to make continuous flower runs for Lloyd because he accidentally keeps handing them off to the wrong woman. In the end, he ends up bringing back a cactus Go to Google image search and type in T.R. Knight Noises Off and there's a photo of T.R. wearing the burglar costume. I believe I have another photo from the triple burglar scene. I'll look for it later and post it. I highly recommend getting the book. You get so into it that you forget that it's not really happening before your eyes. To imagine how the real life actors played these actors playing characters is mind boggling. It would have been so wonderful to have seen T.R. play Tim. __________________ R.I.P., Dr. George O'Malley. R.I.P., Michael Joseph Jackson.

For the record, I hated Mondler with a passion. To be fair, I stopped watching Friends before they hooked up, but I watched it in reruns and hated it. Thanks for the info on Noises Off, Lee. I should read it. I've kind of been itching to get back into theater myself. It's something I used to be really involved in. __________________ I'm whipped! Angie got me up at 7:30 today.

| Lee, thanks so much for the cover for Noises Off. He looks so young and adorable. It's so nice to see him with his natural hair color. Not that I don't enjoy the dark brunette with blue-tone but the sandy brown gives him a lighter feel. Does everyone know the significance of Noises Off to his career? He ventured to NYC in 1995 but was met with disappointment from finding little work to losing his agent. He was living on $20 a week and stretching a meal of pasta, canned tuna, and broccoli for three days. Unable to make ends meet he returned to Minneapolis and did theatre at the Guthrie. He fully expected never to come back to Broadway and eventually turning to teaching after five years. His friends in NYC begged him to try out for that play and luckily he won the role after barely scraping enough funds to make the trip to the Big Apple. His success on the Great White Way led to him having the confidence and resume to audition for on-camera jobs. I'm detecting a pattern with him wherein if he's reached a professional impasse he goes back to his roots to gain strength and revitalizes like a phoenix. This is what makes me love him more. Instead of dwelling on the negativity of the situation he's moving forward quickly and without bashing others. Even the critics are hard-pressed to continue to hate a person who's doing the noblest of thespian medium. Quite a classy exit and is symbolic of his inner fortitude. I also wonder if there isn't something else up his sleeve. Recall he went to Sundance January 2008 with SO to shop a screenplay. Also he's become friends with Dustin Lance Black, ther Oscar winning screenwriter of Milk. Maybe there's a film around the corner. Strategically he might not want to announce it too soon so as not to look greedy. BTW, I've spoken so much about TR my friend had a dream about him. He was in a biopic about Van Morrison and we made plans to see it. There was plenty of strange things but there was a scene in his mind he remembers. It was TR as Van singing "Brown-Eyed Girl" on a BBC show. Quote:

are content with him being gone and doing theatre. Secretly the Hollywood press may scoff at theatre for being "unsexy" and "unhip" but it wishes not to appear so openly vulgar. The regular haters don't have the same restraint and, honestly, I just laugh. One female lambasted the stage because she's sure it's beneath Robert Pattinson and Shia LaBeouf. ![]() Unfortunately I have personally met Mr. Lavandeira (aka Perez) and he'll jump on any bandwagon to get attention. He wasn't the only one criticizing IW's actions and doubt he was the sole reason for the latter's insincere apologies. Frankly Perez has attacked both TR and Katie viciously on his site. He scrawled "pedo" on TR's pictures because he disapproved of his relationship with Mark while simultaneously gushing over Hayden and Milo. Then he went so low as to fabricate "diva" incidents about Katie and called her mother a "b!tch." Sure that means the three are friends. ![]() Here's more info on Parade. The cast is being filled and here's the pic of his leading lady, Lara Pulver. They all sound so accomplished and now I'm doing accounting to see if I could go.

I never thought of George as a younger version of Derek. Now that you mention it there's a similar soft-spoken cadence in voice between the two. Now it's so bittersweet to think back at his image in uniform; of him finally graduating to prince-suitor only to die. ![]() Slightly OT. My mom and I have been mulling over adopting a pug. There's till nothing concrete. Long ago I asked permission to name a male "George O'Malley." She agreed. Now it's become shorthand for any male pug. Yesterday she asked a passerby, "Oh what's your George's name?" rather than what's your pug's name?" ![]() Here's a small tribute to TR at afterelton: Quote:

I love how you phrased all of this... you put to words that which I could not (not so concisely, anyway)... and all the while, until his official notice, I was still hoping he'd stay and hoping that he/TPTB could fight that media storm and make those critics retract those claws... but w/o that support from TPTB, there was no way.

| Cindy, you're right. It was just on one site though and my dad sent it to me. US magazine online, never go there. All the haters go there, and they say horrible things about TR and Katie. In general, I have seen a lot more love for TR than hate. Katie and TR have very vocal haters, but the majority seems to love them both and most seem to think George leaving is a huge loss for the show. It's funny you pictured your encounter with TR. I have done that several times in the past. I have this whole speech prepared, LOL. Of course, if I ever do meet him, I'll probably forget it all and just stand there open-mouthed, looking like some fish. I remember someone saying TR blushed when she gave him a compliment, and the red looked very cute on him. Imagine if he met us all at the same time. He'd go beet red from all the compliments. I think we might scare him off, LOL. I'll see if Noises off is available in Canada. I hope so. I really wish I could have seen him in it. Yes, I knew about his hard days and living off of tuna and tomato soup. It just shows his strength that he never gives up. I think that's what Shonda was talking about when she made that comment about his strength. The way he never lets anything make him give up on his dreams and the way he never becomes bitter and mean about it. That makes me love him even more. LOL, I like Robert Pattinson, but TR is much more talented IMO. You should read the reviews for his role as Dahli. The critics totally shred his acting apart. It's brutal. I feel sorry for the guy. Those critics are mean. __________________ Gizzie love forever![]() Gizzie, Nick and Tess, Josh and Reva, Meredith and Derek, Phoebe and Cole, Luke and Laura, Shawn and Belle, Lucas and Peyton, Andy and Prue, Ryan and Marissa, Dan and Serena, Anne and Gilbert, Viki and Ryan, Mallet and Dinah, Phillip and Beth, Ross and Rachel, Kyle and Fish Avvie by Red | |||

| Dropping in real fast - Have to write my fifth to last driver's ed assignment & study. Final exam might be next week! Gwen, I read in an older interview with him about his pre-Grey's days and he talked about that. I never knew about him living off of $20 though; that makes me sad He's truly inspiring - he never gives up on what he wants. He seems to not let anything stop him from accomplishing his dreams and I truly admire him deeply for that. I agree with what Cindy said about this: Quote:

Hey, I asked Red about this a while back and she didn't know, but you wouldn't happen to know what his ethnic background is, would you? I think he might be Irish or something, but I could be wrong.

Every star they interviewed was like glad he got punched, LOL ![]() He and Ellen are so cute. My two favorite actors together, yay! I love how in one photo, he has his arms around her, and in the next, she has hers around him. I would post those on the Ellen thread, but have no idea how. Is that Chandra's little girl? She's beautiful. TR is so gorgeous. I know he is suppose to be the ordinary-looking guy, but IMO he is way too gorgeous for that. Gwen, how is your mom? Better, I hope. Lee, good luck with the driving exam. Over on BuddyTV, they have another poll on George. I swear, they have about 7 different on him. It,s under the article called TR speaks out on his exit. It's the same interview Aussiello printed weeks ago, so they're late. They ask how people feel about George's exit now that it has been confirmed for a while. Go vote. __________________ Gizzie love forever![]() Gizzie, Nick and Tess, Josh and Reva, Meredith and Derek, Phoebe and Cole, Luke and Laura, Shawn and Belle, Lucas and Peyton, Andy and Prue, Ryan and Marissa, Dan and Serena, Anne and Gilbert, Viki and Ryan, Mallet and Dinah, Phillip and Beth, Ross and Rachel, Kyle and Fish Avvie by Red Last edited by mariem201 : 06-26-2009 at 01:06 PM. | |||

But I also wrote, directed, and other things. Gwen, thanks for the info on the other actors in the show. The woman playing his wife is very pretty. On a superficial note, she and TR will look great together, IMO. Lee, thanks for the pics. Seeing TR with a kid always makes me want to have some myself.
