TV Guide spoils next week's "Grey's"

What was TV Guide thinking? Next week's issue, which has already started to arrive in subscribers' mailboxes, reveals a crucial "Grey's Anatomy" development right on the cover! (Revealed below.)

Bad enough that Disney seems to have purchased this week's cover of TVG, but the few people who dared not avert their gazes as we were carrying this issue around the newsroom all agreed: "What are they telling us this for?" Then again, maybe you're into spoilers. In which case, I've included the whole cover below.

To be sure, the reuniting of these two characters (which will happen next week) has been reported before; Charlie McCollum mentioned it about three weeks ago. But his description went, "Ava(Elizabeth Reaser) returns and Alex (Justin Chambers) finally realizes he has feelings for her." This cover, especially the subheading, is a lot bigger reveal and my feeling is, TVG revealed too much. It's one thing to go to the magazine's website and read Mike Ausiello's dishy spoilerblog. It's quite another to be standing on line at the checkout and see this, whether you want to or not.

For those of you scratching your heads, here's a YouTube fanmash to give you some idea how big a development this is:

TV Guide is still around? I haven't subscribed to it since 1999 or so. Of course, stunts like that is the reason why I stopped.

[Aaron]

Next week I hear they're going to do "The 50 Best TV Guide Covers Of All Time!"

[Bob in Jersey]

More embarrassment for going to the large, generic format...

[Nuba]

What is the fuss? It's not like no one expected Ava to never turn up again.

i hate lexie

to tell the truth i absolutely hated addie. shes a coward and a loser for trying to perv on alex. she lied to derek when they were resolving thier marriage. twice. first she didn't tell him she was pregnant with marks child, and she also didn't tell him she lived with mark. i hate her soooo much. the ugly google-eyed slut

[Mark Jeffries]

So are you trying to tell me that Kate Walsh looks like an Internet search engine, Ms. Illiterate Who Doesn't Have the Guts to Sign Her Name?

i hate lexie too

[kate]

I like Lexi, despite the fact that I find her kind of annoying. I think she's a good challenge and contrast to Meredith's dark and murky. She actually thinks. Though, the math doesn't add up right. How can she just be a year or two younger than Meredith? May be she is younger than that and when to UMKC's med school....

[susan]

i already knew this--not from the cover, but after the episod, where they show a preview of next week's episode, you saw a brief scene of the two of them ripping each other's clothes off kinda thing. do u not watch the show?!

[Jenn]

seriously, I'm no longer subscribed because you can't even thumb through the first few pages without spoilers. You would have to keep on every show and watch each new episode immediately to not get spoiled. Anyway, now they're going too far with it for sure.
