Jeffrey Dean Morgan Unlimited

ETA: I have more details on the character Jeffrey Dean Morgan will play in Magic City.

Magic City will revolve around Jewish-American hotel boss Ike Evans, a man who aims to just make a living and raise his family in the world of mid-20th century Miami. That’s easier said than done as Evans has to handle an onslaught of scheming politicians, dangerous mobsters, and other less-than-respectable types who flock to the glitzy Florida town in the wake of Fidel Castro’s rise to power in Cuba – and his subsequent shutdown of Havana as a gambling haven.

Thanks to @YeRose57 on twitter for alerting me to this.

Looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be gracing our TV screens soon! According to news reports he’ll be starring in Magic City, set in early ’60s Miami.

Here’s the story from Deadline.com: Grey’s Anatomy alum Jeffrey Dean Morgan is in final negotiations to play the lead in Starz’s upcoming 10-episode drama series Magic City. Set in Miami in the late 1950s-early 1960s, Magic City chronicles the collision of mobsters, politicians and entertainers at the first preeminent Miami hotel just as Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba and shuts down Havana as a gambling haven. It centers on a suave Jewish-American man (Morgan) who builds the hotel and along the way makes some strange bedfellows and many powerful enemies. Production is slated to begin shortly in Miami for a 2012 premiere.

Morgan, who simultaneously recurred on Grey’s as heart transplant patient Denny Duquette who had a relationship with Izzie (Katherine Heigl), and on Supernatural as the mysterious father of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Deal (Jensen Ackles), recently starred in the features Watchmen and The Losers.

Okay, it’s hard to top yesterday’s cupcake video. That’s probably the most popular video we’ve had on the site, but I ran across some pictures of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Denny Duquette on Getty Images.

They have watermarks, but I thought I’d share them since I haven’t seem these and thought it might be the same for others. And they’re behind the scenes and I haven’t seen too many of those.

I don't know if Eric Stolz directed or was just passing through the set...

Some good news for all you John Winchester fans. Sci Fi website RevolutionSF has named John Winchester the #4 in their list of Best Sci Fi dads, telling us what we already knew!

Now I know that poor Papa Winchester has taken a beating from some Supernatural fans, but there are those of us who feel that he did right by his boys!

Here’s what RevolutionSF had to say.

He took his kids out monster hunting after a demon roasted their mom.

And not the fun way with dirty insults by comedians.

Then he bought them a sweet black 1967 Impala, then made a deal with a demon to save them and got dragged off into infernal torment. Lesser dads just take their kids to concerts.

Now I think that calls for a John Winchester picspam. Not that we needed a reason!

For all Jeffrey Dean Morgan fans, whether they’re Denny fans or not:-)

We want to take the time today to remember the 4th anniversary of the passing of Dennison “Denny” Duquette, 1970 to 2006.

Denny dies 4 years ago today at Seattle Grace Hospital, due to complications from a heart transplant.

He is survived and lovingly remembered by his former fiancee, Dr. Isabel “Izzie” Stevens,  his parents and most of all by the thousands of fans who still miss him and mourn his passing.

Denny was a Marine Biologist and lived a full life, but sadly, romantic love eluded him until it was too late. But just weeks before his death he found happiness with Izzie and the two were engaged.

Denny left Izzie his $8.7 million inheritance, who used the money to found The Denny Duquette Memorial Centre, a free clinic at Seattle Grace.

This is my favourite Denny/Izzie moment:

And a happy moment, playing Scrabble:

Denny Duquette 1970 - 2006

Please feel free to leave your own Denny memory!

According to the Journal of Medical Ethics (the first time I’ve referenced them here, if you’re counting!),the Denny Duquette/Izzie Stevens storyline on Grey’s Anatomy was the worst ethical breach on television medical shows studied for their portrayal of ethical issues.

Johns Hopkins University medical student Matthew Czarny watched Season 2 of Grey’s Anatomy and House and coded each event of medical ethics.

And guess which storyline contained the worst ethical breach?

The worst ethical breach? Czarny doesn’t hesitate. The multi-episode plot on Grey’s about intern Izzie Stevens falling in love with heart patient Denny Duquette. To move him up on the transplant list, she cuts the wire to the device supporting his heart, worsening his condition. (No happy ending: He gets a new heart, but dies. Stevens confesses and quits.

Oh Matthew, if only it ended there! Have you Season 5 yet?

ETA: Please don’t take this post in any way except the fun it was meant to be. I thought it was funny that this med student picked this storyline as the worst ethical breach on GA and House. Seriously, have you seen what House gets up to sometimes??
