Good looks??

Not quite sure those statements belong in the descriptions as they're quite relative. Panda

[edit] What was Dr. Ellis Grey's specialty?

Hello, as a recent convert to Grey's Anatomy, I don't know what Dr. Ellis Grey's specialty was. The reason why I bring this up is that perhaps it should be mentioned in the character description of Dr. Meredith Grey.

And yes, I do have the DVDs of seasons 1 and 2, I just have to find the time to watch them! Thanks.--Kyoko 13:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I know she had a specific technique named after her, but I do not think that her specialty was ever mentioned. - Xtreme680 04:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tonight,

I've been watching "Time Has Come Today"

{"Grey's_Anatomy_episodes_(Season_3)#Time Has Come Today", Thursday 21st, September, 2006;

"Grey's_Anatomy_episodes_(Season_3)"},

& "I Am a Tree".

In "time", "Cristina Yang" says that she's Jewish. She sits shivah|shiv'ah {not shiv}, regarding "Denny" Dennison Duquette. Sandra Oh is Korean-Canadian. Is there a page w/ Cristina's family-tree?

Thank You.

Something may have been wrong w/ my machine's various search fuctions.

I've just found:

"*Dr. Cristina Yang: A doctor of Korean descent raised in Judaism (her mother converted on re-marriage) and a native of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Yang is not religious, but has mentioned Jewish customs from her upbringing like Shiv'ah and at times has referred to herself as Jewish."

Thank You.

Not sure this is relevant, but I'm perplexed by Christina's last name. Yang is more commonly a Chinese name than a Korean one. (I've actually never met a Korean-American or Korean with Yang as a surname) Also her mother took the name "Rubenstein" when she was three. Granted this isn't an issue the show has dealt with, hence I'm uncertain of its relevance.--T. Anthony 15:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I think her mother is Korean, but she may have a Chinese father that gave her the name. Anyway, to clear things up, yes, her mother remmarried a Dr. Rubenstein, an oral surgeon in Beverly Hills, which is why she was raised Jewish. - Xtreme680 04:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I sort of got an answer to part of it. The episode where George's Dad died she talks about her dad dying when she was nine and what that meant to her. It's fairly clear she doesn't mean her stepdad, so she might have went with her father's name as solidarity. Still being a nine-year old with a different last name than both your living parents is a bit unusual, but not impossible I guess. On it being a Chinese name I've since found a few Koreans with the last name Yang. Yong is a bit more common, but I guess it's not too odd as there was some Chinese intermixture in Korea.--T.

In the 2nd episode of season one Cristina said she's Korean, after Izzie asks her to translate for an chinese patient.

[edit] Actor/Character links

Why to secondary characters have links to the actors that portray them, but not the leads? Let's have the actor names (and wikilinks) for all characters. --24.249.108.133 18:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Callie's surname

Just bringing this over from the main "Grey's Anatomy" page, since it's already come up a few times. Based on canon information to date, Callie's surname has not changed as a result of her marriage to George. George himself referred to her without "O'Malley" tacked on, and until the opposite happens, it should be assumed that she is keeping her maiden name, ala Miranda Bailey. DarkandTwisty29 21:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Callie's middle name

Three reasonable possibilities:

• ABC's episode guide gives the spelling as "Iphegenia".
• It's undoubtedly taken from the Greek mythological figure Iphigeneia.
• The article on Iphigeneia gives the alternate spelling "Iphigenia", and uses it here and there. Per Google, this spelling is an order of magnitude more common than either of the others.

I think we have to take the ABC reference as definitive, though, until/unless they issue a correction. Emurphy42 06:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Resident?

Should there be a section of the resident Sydney? Her character is now been seen quite a few times now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mclover08 (talk • contribs) 00:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

Sydney already has a passage under the "Recurring Characters" section. She is not classified under "Residents" because Kali Rocha is not a series regular. DarkandTwisty29 00:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source for Bailey's alma mater?

Where did the information that Bailey is an alumna of Wellesley come from? I don't recall that ever being mentioned in an episode. If there's not a source for that claim, it should be removed from her character description. DarkandTwisty29 02:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joe the bartender

Hi, I'm translating the article for it:wiki. I read "Joe and his boyfriend Walter" and i was wondering whether Joe is gay or Walter and Joe are just friends. He's gay, I've just read the rest, sorry :) --Absinthe88 14:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
