She's met practically every member of the Grey's Anatomy staff, including Kate Walsh, Eric Dane, Sara Ramirez and Chandra Wilson, and now Rachael welcomes the dreamiest doctor at Seattle Grace ... Patrick Dempsey! To make the moment even more memorable, he makes his way out on to the stage while juggling with the Flying Karamazov Brothers. "I'm very impressed!" Rachael says.
Patrick's hidden talent is showcased in the romantic comedy, Made of Honor, as he juggles dinner plates in one scene. They filmed for a month in England, giving him enough time to bring his wife, 6-year-old daughter and young twin boys along for the shoot. "My daughter got to ride horses so that was a lot of fun," he says. "It was a great summer vacation for us."
When they're at home, Patrick sneaks in some extra time with his wife Jillian, a hair professional, as she gives him his haircuts. "It's a great time for us to actually sit down and talk with each other and plan on what we need to do with the family," he says. "That's our ritual, and then we pretend we're in the barber shop and get flirty."
But will his Grey's Anatomy character ever get flirty again with Dr. Meredith Grey? "I want them to get together. I really do," says Patrick, who offers some clues to their future. "At the end of this season something happens," he says, noting he hopes his character joins Meredith in therapy. "They could work on their issues together." As fans await the outcome, Patrick says he and his co-star are just as eager for more romance. "Ellen [Pompeo] and I are ready. We're like, 'Please can't we just get together?'"
