This is NOT an appropriate touch between a brother and sister-in-law!
OK, HollywoodLifers. You know I’m NOT happy with Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) on this season of Grey’s Anatomy. But seriously, WHY is he touching Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) like he wants to take her clothes off?
Full disclosure, I hated Lexie before we even knew who she was. (We met her at Joe’s at the end of season 3 when she flirted with McDreamy and offered to buy him a drink. Then we not-so-affectionately dubbed her the McBarSlut until we found out that she was Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) long-lost half-sister. Or was it just me who called her that?) However, I will admit she has grown on me for the past few seasons, yet that could all change.
A Derek-Meredith-Lexie triangle is a development I absolutely cannot stomach. Granted, I don’t know the circumstances under which this relationship blossoms — except that Lexie and Derek start working together — and I may be jumping to conclusions that the writers haven’t even fathomed. (God, I hope I’m not giving them ideas!) But I think that I have the right to be a little bit freaked out — as much as an adult woman is allowed to be freaked out by the romantic entanglements of fictional characters.
This photo comes from the Oct. 27 episode, entitled “Put Me In Coach,” so until then, I can only theorize about what is happening in what I deem to be a very disturbing pic. (Side note, I never thought a John Fogerty song would be used as the title for a Grey’s episode, but the world is full of surprises.)
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Am I freaking out over nothing? Or is Derek getting a little too handsy with Lexie?

To the poster of this ridiculous article. You need help.
They’re playing softball and he’s rubbing her shoulders to ease the pressure. Like normal friends do?
Even if the writers were as retarded as you, and actually scripted a Meredith Derek Lexie love triangle, what’s there to freak out about?
IT”S A GOD DAMN TV SHOW. ITS NOT REAL.
Christ.

Do you realize these photos are a mix of while they are filming and when they are not??? These are just set photos, also,if it is from while they film, he is probably being a coach, maybe you should stop hating derek so much to realize that this is not where it is heading!

Shonda Rhimes tweets that pic is a pic behind the scene which means Patrick and Chyler are good friends. No coincidence with the storyline !

Innapropriate? Please, he’s encouraging her to do well in a softball game their playing. There is no love triangle and derek is NOT making a move on lexie. Just because you think derek is being an idiot doesnt mean you should jump to conclusions over a picture that is obviously not what you thonk it is.
