All daytime television is under review at Nine, they better not touch Ellen! Mornings is apparently safe but any future investment in daytime television is off the table. Continue reading »

In a just-published New York Times profile, the Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal boss says she wants to create an Alias-esque drama series. Or, as she puts it, a show about “a woman carrying a gun and kicking people’s butts.” Continue reading »
