Could another hot doc be scrubbing in at Seattle Grace next season? Kevin McKidd, the Scottish actor who headlined last season’s time-traveling drama Journeyman, is in serious talks to join the cast. He’d play an M.D. who comes to the hospital after a stint in Iraq. It’s expected to be a long story arc for McKidd, who also played the soldier Lucius Vorenus in HBO’s regrettably short-lived Rome.

Are you kidding???? That news just made my day!! Please, please let that be true – I LOVED Kevin McKidd in Rome and was really disappointed that Journeyman wasn’t picked up again. Yay
OHOHOHOHOH!!! How lucky can Christina get??? Kevin McKidd – he’s beautiful in a rugged, Scottish way. He was in “Made of Honor” (a real stinkeroo of a movie) and gave good old McDreamy a run for his money – and I’m a big McDreamy fan!! Please say it’s true Voreanus is coming to Seattle!!
Seriously? Grey’s Anatomy doesn’t need more Docs it needs less.
New love interest for Cristina? I don’t really like him (Patrick is so much hotter) but he could be a good storyline. But the cast is too big. No more series regular!
1.Ewww
2.Cast is bloated enough.
I’ll tune in if he starts boffing Eric Danes.
Oh, that is FANTASTIC! Now I don’t have to feel bad that Journeyman was cancelled. I’m going to get my Kevin fix! FINALLY, a great reason to watch Grey’s. Too bad they can’t get rid of Dr. Grey, since that’s the name of the show. Go, Christina! Good for her.
It would so help ease the sting of Journeyman’s cancellation and the loss of Dan Vasser. I would love to see him on Grey’s; I might make a point of not missing episodes. After the strike last year, I didn’t much care whether I saw it or not.
I hope he gets to speak with a Scottish accent.
I would love to see him on Greys! He was great on Journeyman and he is good looking too. He will fit in nicely.
Whoo Lucius Vorenus!!! Maybe I’ll actually start watching Grey’s again lol
Yes, Lucius Vorenus! Grey’s had been falling out of my favor, but this will do the trick.
Joy, you are an ass!
Cristina or Izzie? I think Cristina but, you know, Izzie has a long list of men and another it wouldn’t be a surprise.
This is fantastic! I know loads of people says they need less doctors but they are wrong. They need more men and he is a fine man to add. I want to see him with Christina or Callie. Both women deserve a break. Izzy needs to fix Alex for a bit…poor, poor sad Alex. Plus hopefully they will replace Addison strictly in the hospital needs an OB kind of way. I am so looking forward to this season now.
Er Hunky? Sorry but I’m going to have to go with so very not hot . Sorry, both McDreamy and McSteamy have him beat hands down in my opinion. Not judging his acting by his looks though of course. He’s most likely a love interest for Chirstina, I would have rather seen Joshua Jackson personally but that fell through . Oh well I really don’t think we need anymore doctors but who knows.
McDreamy and McSteamy Do have him beat hands down is rigth he could never beat Derek and Mark
Seriously? This is awesome! I love Kevin. He was great on both Rome and Journeyman! The only thing that would be better is if he gets to speak in his Scottish accent!
Isnt he the fella from “Made of Honour”??
I dont watch Greys normally but I will now…:-)
…annnd that’s how they get me to watch Grey’a again! Lucius baby!
oh deargods YES!!! I will soo start watching Greys again just for this McHunk
yay! LUCIUS!! I agree with Joy – get Dr. Grey off the show and everything would be better LOL Self-indulgent moaning about your life is done in your 20s, NOT when you’re knocking on 40 like her – it’s unseemly LOL
GO McMAC! hahaha
His character was so sad and hurt on Rome, great actor. Also great in Journeyman, I was mad at writer’s strike because it ended that potentially great show. He will be great on Gray’s.
Ooh, he’s a hottie!! Maybe he’d be Addie’s replacement?
I had stopped watching “Grey’s” when Addison left, but I might give it another chance if Kidd joins the show. If he hooks up with Cristina, I will HAVE to try watching again. The guy is delicious and a great actor to boot.
EWW!!
Ooooo! He’s hot. And Scottish! Yay! Please please PLEASE be for Christina! She needs someone to help her get over Burke. Or for Callie. This whole lesbian thing is bizzare.
He is not attractive at all…especially in that picture. But sure. Add him to the already bloated cast. Why not.
I think he would be a great addition. Plus with a Scottish actor, you’d have a genuine “Mc_________” on the show.
I don’t like him
