I Spy the McFuture!

Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo ABC

This just makes me giddy: Spies connected with the McDreamiest show around, Grey's Anatomy, have just reported back with news of a very cool location change for the upcoming fifth season that may reveal a squeal-worthy detail about what's ahead for Meredith and Derek. (Read only if you want to know!)

I'm told that the set for Seattle Grace Hospital has moved to another soundstage (previously occupied by The Shield) at Prospect Studios in Los Angeles. And back at the original soundstage, they have built...drumroll, please...

The McMansion!

OK, so it's not really a "mansion," per se, and I'm pretty sure Daddy Warbucks won't be handing out Christmas treats. (And it probably looks nothing like the photo above.) But according to sources, the original Grey's soundstage has been turned into a lovely home that will be occupied by one Dr. Derek Shepherd, aka Patrick Dempsey, and....hmmm, I wonder who his roommate will be?

You may remember that as of last May's season finale, Derek had a beautiful plot of land that he offered up to Meredith for their dream house, and Meredith finally came 'round and offered up a beautiful floor plan (made out of candles). So something tells me Mer and Der will most definitely be shacking up in their dream house this season, and we're gonna see plenty of their domestic...ummm...bliss? Tribulations? Fascinating home-improvement tips?

What ever it is, remember Grey's boss Shonda Rhimes is jazzed about it, as she told us: "I'm really actually excited about [Meredith and Derek] being together because I feel like what I wanted you to leave with last season is Meredith standing in that field, having done this incredible thing, and the look on her face is a little bit like, 'Oh my God, now I actually have to do this.'"

Awww...poor girl! She has to shack up in an amazing house on a hill with her McDream Man! (BTW, Ellen Pompeo also outbid me on a house in real life a couple of months ago, but for the record, I am not bitter at all that some girls have all the house luck—imaginary or otherwise. Not. At. All. Now pardon me while I wipe these tears off my keyboard.)

So how do you feel about this? Are we happy to see Meredith and Derek possibly happy and possibly living in a possible McMansion? Comment below!
