Kevin McKidd on Grey's Anatomy

Swoon. Did you catch the Grey's Anatomy Season Premiere? I finally caught up on my DVR last night. Kevin McKidd's introduction to the show was better than I could have hoped. He was like a knight in camouflage sweeping Sandra Oh off her feet -- literally. I was expecting a build up of sexual tension over time, and instead Shonda Rhimes gave us THIS little treat. OMG. I'm a goner.

"So?" The one word that brought Grey's back to must watch status for me.

Kevin McKidd on Grey's Anatomy!!

Whoo Hoo!!! I just read in my Entertainment Weekly yesterday that Kevin McKidd (Rome) is going to be Sandra Oh's love interest on Grey's Anatomy this season. I adored him in Rome, but his foray into series TV last season, Journeyman, flopped. I am doing cartwheels over the news that his character will be recurring on Grey's. Looks like I'm not the only one, reports Ausiello of EW.com:

Although McKidd's status is technically still recurring, I'll be shocked if he isn't made a full-time regular by the end of the season. Shonda Rhimes is apparently doing cartwheels over his work thus far. Literally doing cartwheels. My Grey's mole saw her doing one in the parking lot last Thursday.

He plays an Army doc which probably means he won't be using his native Scottish accent (so wonderfully in evidence in his turn in Made of Honor), darn it all!
