After starring in one of the biggest TV shows of the past 20 years, The Big Bang Theory vet Kaley Cuoco is heading into (or over) uncharted waters with her new project, the darkly comedic HBO Max thriller The Flight Attendant. One of the best ways to ensure that audiences flock to the new streaming show is to bring in more familiar faces from other primetime hits, and The Flight Attendant has done just that by paging Grey's Anatomy favorite T.R. Knight to co-star in Season 1.

Sitcom queen Kaley Cuoco will welcome drama standout T.R. Knight onto The Flight Attendant as a loving member of the family. Specifically, Knight will portray the character Davey, who is the older brother of Cuoco's Cassandra "Cassie" Bowden. Well, I guess we'll actually have to wait and see just how loving that relationship really is.

It appears that Davey has made some judgment calls about Cassie in recent years. According to TVLine, he has "gently" disagreed with some of the decisions that his younger sister has made with her life, though it's not clear what he has issues with. However, it's also noted that Davey is continuously embittered by the fact that Cassie doesn't remembers their childhood in the same way he does. Sounds like there's some kind of complicated history happening there, which is a shame, since Cassie's life will get far more chaotic once the show kicks off.

The Flight Attendant's hectic story, as adapted from the novel by Chris Bohjalian, first sees Cassie waking up in a hotel room in Dubai, but her hangover definitely isn't her biggest problem. Far more distressing is the dead body that she wakes up next to. Unsure of what to do, Cassie tries to ignore the issue by not reporting it and going about her titular day job, but it isn't long before the authorities come to ask questions, and Cassie is forced to consider the idea that she might actually be a killer. Dun-dun-dunnn!

Perhaps "waking up next to a corpse" is one of those life choices that Davey doesn't approve of.

Amazingly, it has somehow been a full ten years since T.R. Knight vacated the role of Grey's Anatomy's Dr. George O'Malley and that's putting it extremely lightly but he's kept himself fairly busy in recent years. Following a few years away from the TV limelight, Knight landed recurring roles in The Good Wife, The Catch and 11.22.63 (where he was none too warm and friendly), and he landed a co-leading role in Season 2 of Nat Geo's Genius. He could also be heard this year voicing Cedric in the Hulu kids' show The Bravest Knight.

T.R. Knight's next big TV project, which has already been filming, is CBS Studios' limited series about former FBI head James Comey. That project, titled A Higher Loyalty, is expected to be released in 2020, with a network or streaming service yet to be announced.

On The Flight Attendant, T.R. Knight is joining a cast that already includes Kaley Cuoco (obviously), The Haunting of Hill House's Michiel Huisman, The Originals' Colin Woodell, Maniac's Sonoya Mizuno, Girls' Zosia Mamet, Birds of Prey's Rosie Perez and Greenleaf's Merle Dandridge. It was developed for TV by Cuoco herself, who is executive producing alongside the Arrow-verse mega-producer Greg Berlanti.

No specific premiere date is set just yet for The Flight Attendant, but considering HBO Max isn't expected to launch until May 2020, plan on waiting until at least then to see Kaley Cuoco and T.R. Knight paired off.

GREYS ANATOMY Girlfriend in a Coma A patient gives Meredith some clarity on her dating situation around the holidays. The strain on Bailey and Bens marriage comes to a head. Meanwhile, Betty drops a bomb on Owen and Amelia on Greys Anatomy, THURSDAY, FEB. 7 (8:00-9:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network. (ABC/Mitch Haaseth)JUSTIN CHAMBERS, CAMILLA LUDDINGTON

Over the years, Greys Anatomy has warmed and broken our hearts over and over with its sweet, wild, and sometimes completely nonsensical couplings.

When doctors date doctors and sometimes, uh, when doctors fall in love with their patients? chaos almost always ensues. Sometimes these relationships end up working out. Sometimes theyre so tragic and unhealthy fans let out a collective sigh of relief when theyre finally over.

Here are some of the most dysfunctional romances the show has given us and some that function so well, we hope they never, ever come undone.

This is the Greys Anatomy relationship that first ruined Chasing Cars for an entire fandom forever, but that doesnt mean it was a functional romance. In fact, these two would have likely never worked out in the end, even if Denny had survived the whole ordeal.

Its not his death that made their romance so dysfunctional, though everything leading up to it certainly contributed to the resulting chaos. The fact that Denny was Izzies patient, therefore making the whole thing unethical and problematic from the start, isnt even the worst of it.

Functional relationships are built on trust and understanding, and the fact is, Denny should have been able to trust Izzie to do the right thing when it came time for him to go. She didnt. She risked not only her own career, but those of the people around her. And she took a healthy heart away from someone who needed it more.

Izzie would have thrown her entire life and career away for him even if hed survived a life and career she had worked so hard for so many years to build from the ground up. And he would have let her.

Thats not a sign they would have lasted even if things would have worked out in his favor in the end. She would have ended up resenting him, even if she did truly love him.

Some relationships just start out wrong and never make it past that. Izzie and Denny had their moments, but as sad as their ending was, it was likely for the best.

It was near the beginning of the now-infamous, closed-door meeting with Senate Democrats when it became clear that Gov. Ned Lamonts plan for 14 highway tolls was going to crash at the hands of his own political party.

The scene was Wednesday afternoon in the crowded third-floor Democratic caucus room of the ornate State Capitol, behind a pair of opaque glass doors and around a long table, with portraits of former Senate leaders on the walls.

The small room boiled over, with many among the 22-member caucus articulating long-simmering frustrations, both political and policy driven, with the first-term governor. Several senators were convinced they would lose re-election campaigns if they voted for tolls, even with an expected blue, anti-Trump wave next November.

Lamonts latest pitch for tolls, and the revenue generated by out-of-state cars, had quickly degenerated into a gripe session.

The multi-millionaire Greenwich businessman, who prefers penny loafers and an open collar to power suits, had failed a major test of his power, at the hands of fellow Democrats, in the rough-and-tumble of the intraparty politics.

The jaws of Lamont and his team, including Ryan Drajewicz, his usually steely, know-it-all chief of staff, literally dropped, according to people in the room.

The signature legislation of Lamonts first year in office, a 10-year, $21 billion infrastructure-renewal plan, including rebuilt bridges, wider highways and faster train service, was stalled on the tracks. While the meeting droned on for two hours, the damage was done early. At least one senator disrespected Lamont to his face.

The next day Republican senators offered a new plan, based on very optimistic borrowing rates, for $18 billion in infrastructure projects without tolls.

The anatomy of the collapse of the toll-centric plan has a lot to do with Lamonts inexperience in politics beyond the realm of affluent Greenwich, and his apparent inability to close a deal on a toll plan that a year ago, when he easily won his election, was going to charge trucks only for the use of state highways.

Amid concerns that courts could eventually rule against trucks-only, and the need for more revenue to tackle the states transit crisis, Lamont initially proposed about 50 toll gantries.

But as vocal opposition to tolls spawned fears in the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, the number of gantries was drastically reduced and finally cut to 14 in the proposal that Lamont rolled out earlier this month, and calls CT2030.

Were not giving up on a solution, Max Reiss, Lamonts communications director, said Friday. Were also not going to give up on fiscal responsibility.

Sources with knowledge of the scene in the Senate caucus, who asked not to be identified, said Lamont has failed to build relationships with lawmakers. In this particular case, he hasnt held enough one-on-one discussions with individual legislators, a tried-and-true way to earn allies and possibly offer them benefits in exchange for support.

He has also offended many members of the General Assembly by holding up the annual legislative list of capital projects eligible for long-term bonding

Other say his privileged life and limited political experience beyond the Greenwich Board of Selectman and local finance board, might be hindering his ability to play political hardball.

I think he was trying to do the right thing, said Tom Swan, executive director of the Connecticut Citizen Action Group consumer-advocacy organization, who ran Lamont successful 2006 primary campaign against former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman. Swan said he was perplexed by the apparent implosion of Lamonts toll-centric plan. Its sort of amazing.

Swan said with the wide-ranging support of the southwestern Connecticut business community for the massive investments needed to free the region from gridlock and antiquated train lines, a failure of tolls as a revenue source would underscore the need for slightly higher personal income taxes on the states wealthiest, including Lamont and his neighbors in affluent towns.

Instead of highway user fees or increases in the sales tax or gas tax, an increase of less than a point on the top two tiers of income would still keep Connecticut below New York State, Swan said. Tolls are arguably the best way to help finance it, but the failure to address the policies could have a lasting impact on him and his administration. I hope he figures out over the next three years how to work more effectively with the legislature to drive a real progressive agenda.

Northern Maine Community College has acquired a virtual anatomy table for use in allied health and science courses.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine Northern Maine Community College has acquired a virtual anatomy table for use in allied health and science courses.

Touted as the most technologically advanced 3D anatomy visualization system for anatomy and physiology education, the table will allow NMCC to join the ranks of the worlds leading medical schools and institutions including The Mayo Clinic, University of Michigan, and Stanford.

The highly interactive table allows students and instructors to explore human anatomy in-depth by virtually removing layers of tissue, making cross-sections, and isolating body systems. The 3D table gives users access to data from four different types of bodies that were donated to science through the Human Visibility Project (HVP).

Our students are gaining access to a level of detail and instruction that is normally only available to those who attend the most elite schools, said NMCC biology instructor Trena Soucy. Using this technology were able to visualize complete anatomical systems in 3D and show how they work as a unit. The table brings anatomy to life and off the pages of a text book, increasing the students understanding of how the body works in parts and as a whole.

Each digitized body on the table comes from a person who died of different causes before being donated one from a heart attack, two from cancer-related pneumonia, and one male inmate who died of lethal injection; a prison chaplain persuaded him prior to his execution in 1993 to donate his body to the HVP. Students can compare the different health factors and anomalies present in each example, such as fatty tissues in one bodys heart, or a tumor related to gastric cancer. Students are able to take customized quizzes directly on the table using touch-screen technology.

We are excited to add this innovative piece of technology to our cutting-edge biology classes to enhance the teaching and learning experience for our students, said David Raymond, Arts and Sciences Department chair.

While the table is currently in the biology lab for anatomy and physiology, and microbiology classes, it will also be used for emergency medical services, nursing, medical coding, liberal studies, and medical assisting students.

Funding for the new technology came from the Maine Community College System. For more information, visit nmcc.edu.

3D table brings advanced anatomy study to NMCC - The County

ThroughoutGreys Anatomys16 seasons, we have seen many actors come and go. Every time someone leaves, fans beg to have them back. Stars such asPatrick Dempsey(Derek Shepherd) and Kate Walsh (Addison Montgomery) are on the top of the list. However, no one is more requested than Merediths (Ellen Pompeo) person, Christina Yang (Sandra Oh).

On October 17, 2019, Yang made a cameo within a text conversation between Mer and Christinabut it wasnt exactly what fans had in mind. The producers heard fans cries for more, and this time came through with an even bigger tease during the November 14, 2019 episode.

WhenChristina Yangleft Greys Anatomy after season 10, fans were devastated. She moved to Zurich, Switzerland, to take a job alongside her old fling, Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington). Hopefuls thought we might see short scenes of Yang working in Zurich in future seasons, but the wish never materialized.

Yang made a brief appearance at Dereks funeral in season 11. There was a clip in which we see the back of Merediths head standing next to a brunette.

Cristina was there, Director Kevin McKiddtold TV Line. I presume Sandra was busy and unavailable for that episode, which was the only reason why [a body double was used]. That funeral sequence was meant to imply that Cristina was obviously there for Meredith. Her presence was felt.

Mers person also sent her a text during the episode titled, Its Raining Men. Meredith was catching a ton of heat from Bailey (Chandra Wilson) over an article that took Merediths words out of context.

Move to Switzerland before Bailey murders you in your sleep, read the text from Christina to Mer. Fans screamed over the excitement of the text, but it just wasnt enough to quench their thirst for Yangs return to Greys Anatomy.

During the episode titled, My shot, fans were given another colossal tease from Christina Yang. Meredith is on trialat a hearingawaiting the final decision regarding whether or not she will get to keep her medical license.

Things are not looking good for her professional career when her past patients begin filtering into the room. They start speaking on her behalf, thanking her for saving their lives. Then, to fans excitement, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) begins reading a letter from one of Mers co-workers. Diehard fans of Greys Anatomy knew it was Christina who wrote the letter.

I can honestly tell you that if a surgery stood between me and death, read Karev, Dr. Greys hands are the only ones that Id want inside my body. Shes the light in a broken system that shell fix. She is the sun, and she is unstoppable. Sincerely, Dr. Cristina Yang.

The letter was not exactly what fans were hoping for in the way of a Yang return, but it did make viewers very happy.

As soon as he (Alex) started reading that letter, wrote one fan onReddit, I KNEW it was her and started happy crying!

Although Sandra Oh was not brought back for the episode, fans seem genuinely happy to have such a heartfelt letter from Christina read.

Christina is still present in Mers life, even if she isnt there physically, wrote another Reddit user. And weve seen that reflected especially well in this season. They continued, In life: You cant make an actor who left a show return, but you can do your best to make sure their character still exists within the universe.

Fans understand that Oh may not be able to make appearances on the show, as much as they ask for it. For the time being, fans are pleased with the way that the producers chose to add Christina to this critical moment in Merediths life.

Catch new episodes of Greys Anatomy on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.

This Is Us and Greys Anatomy were among the biggest TV ratings growers for the week of Oct. 28.

Both the NBC drama and the ABC medical show doubled their ratings after seven days of delayed viewing, with the former ending up on a 2.8 among adults 18-49 (the highest rating for a non-football show that week) and the latter on a 2.2.

In terms of the new fall shows, Stumptown and Emergence were once again among the biggest gainers for ABC. Stumptown leapt up 140% to a 1.2 rating, and Emergence finished with a 1.0. ABC will likely be pleased by their shows continued solid performances in delayed, particularly because the network recently committed to stop using Live+Same Day ratings as a measurement for their shows success.

Blue Bloods emerged as the most watched scripted show of the week in L+7 with 11.9 million, beating out This Is Us with 11.3 million.
