Her loyalty to Meredith & Co. is paralleled by an allegiance to the fans, who she feels also have an ownership stake. She and Beers do podcasts, and Grey's writers interact with viewers via the blog Grey Matter (greyswriters.com).
Rhimes tries to protect the viewing experience, too. She is famed for giving away few plot details. As a TV fan herself — her likes include 30 Rock, Lost, Weeds, Project Runway, Doctor Who and Torchwood— she thinks spoilers detract from viewers' enjoyment. "It's the Pentagon, but I imagine we're nicer," says Walsh.
Rhimes won't say much regarding Practice's finale, which coincides with psychiatrist Violet's due date, except that it ends in a cliffhanger. Will viewers learn whether the father is clinic colleague Pete (Tim Daly) or fellow shrink Sheldon (Brian Benben)?
"I think what happens supersedes who the dad is," she says cryptically, adding: "But Violet definitely makes a choice about who she wants to be with."
