Grey's Anatomy's Sloan and Hahn: Where Were We?

Our final refresher features a look at Mark Sloan's (aka McSteamy) promiscuous behavior and his recent advances on Dr. Hahn.

The Couple: Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) and Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith)

Where We Were: McSteamy earned his nickname because of his bedroom eyes and overtly flirty nature, but as we've gotten to know plastic surgeon Mark Sloan, we've realized that his nickname might as well be McSlutty. He burst on to the scene in the second season as the guy who was Derek's best friend before sleeping with Addison. That's a good best friend right there! After Derek slept with Meredith at prom, he apologized to Addison for having a part in the destruction of their marriage but when Sloan McSteamily appeared half naked out of her shower, Derek was freed of any lingering guilt. After several more Sloan-Addison hookups (or "cross-continental booty calls"), she finally dumped him for good. Although he first turned to a recently wounded Callie to ease his pain, Sloan moved on to rebuilding his bromance with Derek and zeroing in "fresh meat" Dr. Erica Hahn. Hahn, being the no no bulls—t kinda girl she is, didn't fall for his charms. She did seem slightly flattered by his attention, but told him it ain't gonna happen.

Where They're Headed: Even though there were rumors that Dr. Hahn might be gay — and could be paired with one of the ladies on the show (Cristina… hey, I didn't start that rumor) — it seems the producers aren't taking Hahn's character in that direction. Which means, most likely, that Sloan will simply amp up his advances until Hahn finally cracks. Or until Sloan contracts some sort of VD.

Possible Roadblocks: Addison is returning for an episode, which could throw Hahn for a loop if she does start having feelings for Sloan. We know he's not over her at all. And let's not discount that producers have hinted that Callie could turn to Mark in her time of need. Hmm, can we say "f—k buddy?" As Ausiello said, just because ABC claims the couple won’t necessarily be doing the "jiggery-pokery" doesn’t mean they won't sneak off for a romp in her old "room" in the basement. — Erin Fox

We could have done without that "buddy" crack. You could just as easily have referred to it as a "friend with benefits" or something similar and utterly avoided having to be implicitly profane. Just because we all know exactly what's going on doesn't mean we have to use the ugliest expressions for it, even suggestively.

i agree with SJPATRICK. using that phrase is unnecessary & trite.

Thanks, sjpatrick. I was all fired up ready to comment on the unecessary "buddy" remark, but you had already done it.

I think that sloan and Hahn could potentially be good for each other. He might be able to soften her personality somewhat and by working so hard to get into Hahn's pants, it might actually force Mark to grow up. Let's face it, I seriously doubt Sloan has ever had to work this hard to get what he wanted so he might actually cherish Hahn if he gets her.

Sloan and Hahn are the couple I most want to get together. I love Sloan and Hahn's rapport. Can you imagine the sex between these two? HOT!!

Disappointed! Very disappointed!! After all the wait and all the hype, it was hard to stay awake during all the commercials between the great show snippets. Am I the only one who noticed the excess commercials? More show, less advertising, please.

PS - I agree with those who were disapppointed with the buddy remark; it really wasn't necessary. What a disappointing episode overall.

After all the wait, I sure thought the show would have been better than it was. Hoping to see better writing in the future (like we were used to seeing in the past)

Not as good as I hoped. Just kinda blah. WAY, WAY too many commercials. Lexie is really turning into a nerd. I preferred her sexy and aggressive with Derek in the beginning. Sloan and Hahn, NOT a good match. He should be with someone much sexier and strong willed.

Izzie is still the most boring part of the show for me. Can they make her character any more stupid? Putting Cheech through all those unnecessary tests and then just getting a light scolding from the chief was ridiculous. Where is the Grey's that I loved so much? I will have a hard time tuning in again if this nonsense keeps up. Dr. Sloan is very hot sexy and interesting. Hahn does not seem like his type at all. She's too stuffy.

I agree about Izzie, she should have/would have been suspended or fired...
