Facts: 
 
1. Isiah Washington and Rob Lowe were offered the role of Dr. Derek Shepherd.  
 
2. When Patrick Dempsey auditioned for Dr. Derek Shepherd, the whole time he thought that Shonda Rhimes is scary and she hated him. But Rhimes says that the whole time all she could think was how dreamy he looked. 
 
3. The name ‘McDreamy’ was first given to Dempsey, which stuck and was later given to Shepherd.

    4. Shonda Rhimes wanted to create a diversity in her cast and she decided to turn colour-blind when she auditioned them for different roles. 

    5. The only character that was described was the character of Dr. Miranda Bailey, as a ‘short curly blonde’ but when Chandra Wilson auditioned for that role she was perfect for the role. 

    6. Chandra Wilson had the most hairstyle changes. 

    7. Sandra Oh auditioned for Dr. Bailey but she fell in love with the character of Christina Yang and asked to audition for it. 

    8. George O’Malley has seen Meredith Grey, Christina Yang and Izzie Stevens naked. 

    9. The show was going to be set in Chicago but Rhimes thought it would then seem like ER and decided on Seattle. Chicago Grace doesn't sound as good as Seattle Grace anyways.

Fan Theories
  • One fan thinks Meredith has Alzheimer's disease and other characters are emotions, like Inside Out. When a character leaves, the emotion goes with it. Derek is love, Arizona is happiness, Sloan is lust, Izzie is compassion, and so on.  
  • Lexie Grey never existed!  :-The timelines for the supposed relationship between Susan and Thatcher that resulted in Lexie gets screwed up multiple times. She is supposedly born in 1984 and is a surgical intern in 2006. This would make her 22, which is way too young. This has led to a theory that she is just a figment of our imagination.
  • The entire show is Zola reading Meredith’s Diary :- One fan has come up with a slightly plausible theory of the show's ending — sadly, it doesn't have a good ending for Meredith. "What if Grey’s Anatomy ends with a diary being closed by a black girl’s hand," a fan wrote on Tumblr. "And the camera goes up to reveal a grown up Zola (who’s wearing intern scrubs), and it turns out Meredith developed and died of Alzheimer’s and wrote diaries like her mother did, and now Zola is carrying on the Grey legacy by becoming an aspiring surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital?

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin...

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman wh...

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...
