Katherine Heigl, Jeffery Dean Morgan on ‘Gray’s Anatomy’ Ghost Sex
Katherine Heigl and Jeffrey Dean Morgany reigned for the first time in years as part of Entertainment Weekly’s 20th anniversary of Shondaland And was brutally honest about one of the worst storylines of “Gray’s Anatomy”: Ghost Sex. The romance between Heigl’s Izzie and Morgan’s Denny in season 2 strengthened the popularity of the show and offered Heigl to an Emmy victory. Denny died in the season finale, but his season 5 returns as a spirit that Izzie sees and has sex with the actors just as much as the viewers.
“It’s funny because I don’t remember much of that season because it just … I didn’t know someone thought that worked when we did it,” Morgan admitted EW, where Heigl called the storyline “Awkward”.
“It was confusing for everyone,” Heigl said. “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. And it was a scene in which you are in the room, but I try to be:” You are not here, you are 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?” “
“It started to be broadcast while we were still photographing the story, and we knew that the reaction of the audience was not so enthusiastic:” What? She sees a dead man? What is the case? “Morgan added when Heigl answered:” She’s Fuck a dead man? What?”
The season finally revealed that Izzie had a brain tumor, so she hallucinated Denny. The explanation made it more receptive to the storyline, but she always thought it was too confusing for the kind of show “Grey’s Anatomy” was set up.
“For me I loved Izzie and I wanted her to get that with Denny,” said Heigl. “And so there was a part of me that loved it and wanted to do it, and wanted her to see that, even if it was just a fantasy. But yes, because there was supernatural aspect of it, as you said, it was not necessarily in the realm of” Grey’s Anatomy. “
“I remember that Shonda spoke to me about it,” she went on. “She referred to an old film where the actress was sick and hallucinating. Because I didn’t know why she saw him at first, and nobody would tell me. And I had something like that:” So is he a real spirit or is it a hallucination or what happens? ” Nobody would tell me because it was super secret, but then she unveiled like, “No, it’s a manifestation of this disease.” And then I thought, “Oh, that’s so sad.” ‘
