With twenty years of untamed, emotionally-charged tv to tug from, Grey’s Anatomy has given followers loads of unbelievable moments.
After 20 years, Katherine Heigl lately admitted she will be able to’t watch the ABC medical procedural along with her children, crediting her ghostly intercourse scene with co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan within the Season 5 episode ‘In the Midnight Hour’ (2005) as one which makes her “so embarrassed.”
“We have not watched Grey’s. Partly because I was like, ‘How do I explain that?’” she instructed Entertainment Weekly of the scene. “But I’m like, “‘ou can watch it, but I don’t want to sit next to you. I will be so embarrassed.’ I don’t know how to explain this. And she will make me embarrassed. She will make fun of me. No, it’s better not to give her that ammunition. Do you know what I’m saying?”
In Season 2 of the Shonda Rhimes sequence, Heigl’s Izzie Stevens falls in love with Denny Duquette (Morgan) whereas treating him for coronary heart failure. Although Denny tragically dies within the sophomore season, he makes a number of returns from past the grave to go to Izzie.
Morgan stated he doesn’t “remember much of” his character’s posthumous return in Season 5, as a result of “I don’t know that anybody thought that was working when we were doing it.”

Heigl noticed the arc as want success “for Izzie and Denny to finally basically get to be together and have an actual relationship,” however filming “it was awkward — not the scenes, but the concept.”
“She could never acknowledge me,” recalled Morgan. “And I remember I was yelling at her while everybody else was giving her doctor information. And it was throwing everybody off.”
Heigl added, “Yeah. It was confusing for everyone. There’s one particular scene that I will not watch with my children ever. I don’t care how old they are. I don’t care if they’re 60, I’m not watching this with them. And it was a scene where you’re in the room, but I’m trying to be like, ‘You are not here, you’re not here.’ And Alex [Justin Chambers] and Izzie start messing around and he goes down on her. And you’re just standing there. And I was just sort of at the time like, ‘This is what the money’s for, right?’”
Thursday marked the twentieth anniversary of Grey’s Anatomy, which is at present in its twenty first season on ABC.
