In anticipation of GREY'S ANATOMY 300th episode, ABC Digital Studios is launching a six-part web series, Grey's Anatomy: Post-Op, hosted by Gordon James who plays Nurse Gregory on the series.

In next week's new episode of GREY'S ANATOMY, Harper Avery arrives at Grey Sloan, putting Bailey on edge. A familiar face from Meredith's past returns as a patient, and Amelia tries to manage a secret. The new episode airs Thursday, October 5th on ABC. Watch the trailer below!

The 14th season of GREY'S ANATOMY premiered with 2 jam-packed episodes last night. After what many would consider a lackluster season 13, it is clear that the writers are ready to tear down what they created last season and start over. Some drawn out storylines are quickly resolved, others finally have their dilemmas clearly laid out, and in one instance, some retroactive continuity helped explain away the odd and quite frankly, out of character behavior exhibited last year by one of Grey Sloan Memorial's doctors. The first of the two episodes was titled 'Break Down The House' and that is exactly what this season-opener did. After watching these first two-episodes, I can't wait to see how they continue to rebuild!
