Dr. Bailey's Monologue About Miscarriage on Grey's Anatomy Has People Talking


Grey’s Anatomy returned last night (January 23) after a brief hiatus—and it was an incredibly emotional episode.

The action picked up after the midseason cliffhanger that saw a car crashing into Joe’s Bar, the regular hangout for the doctors at Grey-Sloan. While we didn’t really get any new information about Alex Karev and how the show will handle Justin Chambers’s permanent departure, fans did get some very emotional scenes between the three remaining OG doctors: Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), and Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo).

In the midseason finale, we learned that Bailey suffered a miscarriage. When we last saw her, she was definitely trying to bottle up her emotions and carry on with her job. In the face of some of her interns hurt in the Joe’s Bar accident, she continued to do just that—and saved lives in the process. But when all was said and done, Bailey needed a release and broke down in a powerful conversation about her loss with Dr. Webber.

“Everyone I touched today, everyone I held in my hands or gave to another surgeon to put back together again — fine,” Bailey said. “But I made that fine. I made that work. This…this…This, I…I am not fine.”

“She [her baby] isn’t fine. And I can’t even hold her in my hands. Or put her in someone else’s hands who can put her back together again,” Bailey cried. “She just was! And now she isn’t. And I can’t do anything but just stand here—stand here and lose her.” Bailey collapses into Webber’s arms and sobs—as did I. Later, he brings Meredith in to comfort her friend with a box of tissues and a box of donuts. Meredith holds Bailey’s hand and says, “I had a miscarriage once. I never felt so lonely.” (Longtime fans will remember Meredith suffered a miscarriage back in season six, when a shooter went on a rampage in the hospital, injuring Derek and leaving Meredith and Cristina to operate on him at gunpoint.)

These are the emotional moments that Grey’s Anatomy has done so well since it premiered in 2005. People on Twitter had strong reactions to Bailey’s monologue:

We’ll surely see more of how Dr. Bailey copes with this devastating loss in future episodes. Prep your tear ducts accordingly.

The 'Game of Thrones' Cast Crashed Kit Harington's 'SNL' Monologue to Demand Answers About Season 8


Everyone wants to know how the upcoming final season of Game of Thrones is going to pan out, especially when it comes to who’s going to wind up sitting on the Iron Throne itself. With the show’s premiere scheduled exactly a week away on Sunday, April 14, you can bet that Saturday Night Live is getting in on the hype. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, hosted the show last night (April 6)—and as part of his opening monologue, he found himself having to field some questions about the show from the audience. As it turns out, he knew a few of his interrogators quite well: Some of his present—and former—cast members were there to demand answers, too.

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the show, popped up to ask Harington to give her “a sense of how it ends.” Clarke’s character is one of the relatively few that hasn’t yet been killed off, and Harington reminded her that she did, in fact, know what was going on in the show’s last season.

“Well, yeah, but I forgot,” she quipped. “It’s been so damn long since the last season, plus a lot of my scenes are talking to a dragon, which is just a tennis ball on a green pole. I have no idea what’s actually happening.”

She also joked about the fact that their characters had hooked up during the show’s sixth season. “Did you know they filmed that?” she asked.

John Bradley, a.k.a. Samwell Tarly, also had a question for Harington. He told Harington he’d only been able to glimpse two pages of the season eight script, and all Tarly said was, “Arghhh.” Harington asked him what had come before that line in the script. “Dragon opens mouth,” Bradley replied.

Naturally, the Night King was also in the audience (played on SNL by Pete Davidson), and it seemed like he was feeling a little down about it all. He asked Harington if people actually hate him (“because it really feels like people hate me”) and if they could still be friends when the show was over. “We were never friends,” Harington responded.

Rose Leslie, whose character played Snow’s love interest until she was killed off (and who, in real life, is now married to Harington), also stood up to ask a question. After Harington told her that he was still sworn to secrecy about all things regarding the show’s final episodes, Leslie told him that she didn’t care because she “wasn’t a nerd.” Instead, she had a more pressing concern.

“My question is, what are we going to do for money now?” she said. “We didn’t save anything, and you kept telling me, ‘Oh I’m the King of the North, we can order UberEats every night.”

Awkwafina Opened 'SNL' With a Moving Monologue About Representation in Hollywood


Awkwafina is having a history-making year: Not only did she star in Crazy Rich Asians—the first film in years with a cast of Asian descent—but on Saturday she also became just the second Asian women ever to host Saturday Night Live in the show’s 44-year history.

During her opening monologue, Awkwafina told a few great jokes about how she’s not, in fact, a “crazy rich Asian,” instead she’s a “rebuilding-my-credit Asian” who still buys her underwear in “12 packs from CVS.” As she wrapped up, however,, she took a moment to share a heartfelt story about how as a teenager she traveled to 30 Rock to stand outside as her idol, Lucy Liu, became the first Asian woman ever to host the show.

“Back in 2000, I came to 30 Rock and waited outside when my idol, Lucy Liu, hosted SNL,” she said, waiting for a quick applause break from the audience. “I was a kid, and I didn’t have a ticket so I knew I wasn’t getting in, but I just wanted to be near the building. And I remember how important that episode was for me, and how it totally changed what I thought was possible for an Asian-American woman.”

She waited out the hearty applause from the crowd before closing out her monologue and adding, “Standing here tonight is a dream I never thought would come true. So thank you, Lucy, for opening the door. I wasn’t able to make it in the building back then, but 18 years later I’m hosting the show.”

Awkwafina again addressed the issue of representation in a sketch called “#MeToo, Year Two” alongside several women on the cast. In the sketch, Awkwafina played Sandra Oh. noting that the #MeToo conversation “almost been compounded with [the one around] representation.”

McKinnon, playing her hilarious character of “legend” Debette Goldry laughed off the comment saying, “That’s not true. There were plenty of fabulous parts for Asian gals in the 1940s. And I played all of them!” Clearly, however, there’s still a long way to go.
