During the TCA Winter Press Tour, Steve McPherson, ABC Entertainment President, was asked to comment about the Izzie/Denny storyline. The viewers have not been very accomodating of this particular storyline, no matter how nice it is to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan back on the show.
But ABC’s exec head is standing by Shonda Rhimes’ vision:
“[Denny] is not a ghost, which you will learn,” he says. “I actually think when you get to the end of the season and you see everything she had in mind, it might not be your cup of tea, but I think you’ll be surprised at how insightful and smart that storyline itself is in terms of the dynamics it’s creating for the characters involved and where we end up with those characters at the end… The viewers will be the judge. That’s the good and the bad about this business. I think shows ebb and flow. And when you talk about long-term serialized dramas, you’re going to have some stuff that people don’t respond to.”
Michael Ausiello revealed a while back the major spoiler as to what exactly is going on with Izzie (and Denny). But that doesn’t seem to have helped with the view that the storyline sucks.
I am, however, optimistic that they’ll pull it off, and if they don’t, there’s always next season.
What do you think about it these days? Are you still against it or have you changed your mind? Or are you one of the few and proud that have loved it from the beginning?

i am completely on board with the denny story line. shonda rarely disapoints me and i know she’ll pull it off. she’s made it a funny story line and you know it’s going to end up with a dramatic ending.
I do not like the Denny storyline either. I think that it is getting boring and it is also starting to remind me of a soap opera
[...] never seem to catch a break and is not above telling us about it 50 times per episode. Even the head of programming at ABC has to defend this stuff. No wonder cast members are leaving in droves. Are fans of the show next? Grey’s still has [...]
I love Denny; but just cannot grasp the storyline. It’s getting more & more weird. I guess we all daydream or we wouldn’t love soaps. I’m willing to hold my breath & wait it out just so I can watch Denny and Izzie’s magic together.
i dont really like denny being back on the show. HE DIED LIKE 3 SEASONS AGO! but im sure shonda will pull it off.
I really don’t care if Denny results to be real, is just a ghost or maybe the product of the aneurism that affects Izzie… I only hope this: Alex/Izzie togheter (finally!!)
