Katherine Heigl and Jeffrey Dean Morgan look back on ‘Ghost Denny’
The verdict is in: The Spook Denny era Gray’s Anatomy Was uncomfortable and ‘confusing for everyone’. Just ask Katherine Heigl And Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
“It’s funny because I don’t remember much of that season because it just … I didn’t know anyone thought that worked when we did it,” Morgan, 58, told Entertainment weekly In a joint interview with his former CO-star, published on Friday 28 March.
Heigl added that she was sure that many fans took “Wish Fulfillment” from the conspiracy, but admitted that it was “awkward”.
“I imagine that it was to give the fans a little bit of this wish fulfillment, but yes, it was uncomfortable – not the scenes, but the concept,” she said.
“She could never recognize me,” Morgan explained how Heigl’s character, Izzie Stephens, had interaction with Denny after he died in the show. “And I remember shouting at her while everyone gave her doctor’s information. And it threw everyone off.”
Heigl also admitted that there is in particular one scene between the two actors she never wants to see again.
“There is a certain scene that I will never watch with my children. I don’t care how old they are. I don’t care if they are 60, I don’t watch this with them,” she explained. “And it was a scene in which you are in the room, but I try to be,” You’re not here, you’re not here. ” And Alex [Justin Chambers] And Izzie starts messing around and he approaches her. And you just stand there. And I was just a bit like: “This is what the money is for, right?” “
The episodes “Ghost Denny” were an important part of the fifth season of the show. The character of Heigl, who at that time unknowingly had a brain tumor, began to see hallucinations of her former fiancé, played by Morgan.
Despite the uncomfortable nature of filming the scenes, Morgan added that he was happy to be back in the show after the death of his character in the final of season 2.
The cast of Grey’s Anatomy reunited on the Emmy Awards from 2023 on Monday 15 January. Ellen Pompeo, who played as the title character, Meredith Gray, and Katherine Heigl, who played Izzie Stevens, presented on stage during the prize ceremony in the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. They were accompanied by former castmates Justin Chambers, […]
“But it was great to be back, I’ll say that,” he explained. “The work is always great. It is as Katie said, I don’t know the story was holding. It was a difficult one for the viewers because it was a bit out of the empire Gray’s Anatomy. And I think by the time we … it be started while we were still photographing the story, and we knew that the reaction of the audience was not so enthusiastic: “What? Does she see a dead man? What’s going on? ” ‘
Heigl felt the same. “For me I loved Izzie and I wanted her to get that with Denny. And so there was a part of me that loved it and wanted to do it, and wanted her to have it, even if it was just a fantasy,” she explained. “But yes, because there was this supernatural aspect of it, as you said, it was not necessarily in the field of the realm of Gray’s Anatomy. “
