While in LA, I had the chance to check out the set of Grey’s Anatomy.  It was a lot of fun.  We got to check out the set, as well as meet some of the actors and creative people behind the scenes, like costume designers and prop creators.

This is the outside of the set, which is really on the outside of the building.  It was neat to see how and where they filmed. It also looked like a real hospital building, so that amused me as well.

This is the living room of the “Dream House” that belongs to Meredith Greys and Derek McDreamy. A lot nicer (and neater!) then my own, I will tell you that 😉

The very well organized kitchen in the McDreamy House  🙂

Costumes on the set of Grey’s Anatomy, all labeled and ready for the cast to use.

The hospital on the set, complete with toys and brochures, which made me laugh  🙂

I loved this picture, it was just the hospital floor, but still.  Made it “authentic”.

The “guts” of Grey’s Anatomy, as shown to us by the prop master.

Some of the authentic props used on the set. The prop master, Master Angela Whiting, explained what they all were, how they worked, and why they needed to have photos and multiples of each and every item.  Good stuff, and interesting to hear about.

Some of the costumes used on the set, worn by the cast of the show.  These costumes were designed and sewn by the 16 costumers on staff, with the exception of the scrubs, which are made by one brand just for the show, and altered when they arrive for each “doctor”.  Designer Mimi Melgaard was kind enough to show us these and a few others, and explain the process.

Meet the doctors!  Camilla Luddington who is Jo Wilson, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers in real life), and Sara Drew aka Dr. April Kepner.

Sara Drew spoke to us about her experiences on set and as an actress, and what working on “Grey’s Anatomy” was like.  We also were able to speak with Dr. Arizona, who told us that she herself decided to wear the roller skates, which she didn’t even know how to use.  At first, someone had to stand out of view and catch her as she skated on and off the scenes, because she didn’t know how to stop herself.

We had a great time on the set, and thank you to ABC for letting us spend the afternoon with you! Follow all the fun on twitter with the hashtag #ABCTVEvent
