'Grey's Anatomy' ropes in 'How I Met Your Mother' star Josh Radnor to play Ellen Pompeo's love interest

This should be exciting news for fans of Grey's as well, since now the series is actively exploring its lead character's dating life this season.

Dr Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) is getting ready to go on a date in the next episode. While seeing Meredith all dressed up to work the doctors get curious as to this sudden change in appearance. Everyone has something to offer, one thinks she's dressed for a funeral, another feels she's looking weird and suddenly it strikes them - she's dressed to go out on a date! Then Meredith coyly admits she hasn't even met the person she's going out with and that it's a blind date.

And knowing that there is going to be some change to Meredith's love life, fans too will be curious to know more about the blind date. Well, as People magazine exclusively confirms, the blind date she going on with is none other than 'How I Met Your Mother' star Josh Radnor.
