LOS ANGELES - “Grey’s Anatomy” ended season 3 last month with one of its biggest ever cliffhangers. With almost as much offscreen drama as on, the final show left many wondering who would be back. Wonder no more.

“I think everyone’s coming back,” Justin Chambers who plays Alex on the show told Access Hollywood at an event this past weekend. “It’s all good.”

Also of the opinion that the full cast will be back giving us Seattle-Grace inspired drama? James Pickens Jr. who plays Chief Richard Webber. He even explained why there has been such controversy about who is coming back.

“[It] gets everybody to watch it next season,” he commented.

In recent weeks, T.R. Knight made headlines after saying he had not received a letter confirming he was back on the show, but Ellen Pompeo, who plays “Grey’s” title character Meredith, said such letters aren’t standard.

“I don’t know what all this talk is about — a letter? I’ve never had a letter,” she said. “In the beginning you have to sign [one] of course, but not sort of year-to-year. No one’s told me if I haven’t [been invited back].”

Despite some of the statements, T.R. Knight who plays the lovable George O’Malley said he still isn’t confident of his place on the show.

“That’s not a question I can really answer,” he said. “I don’t know what to say. We’ll find [out] one way or another.”
