Melissa George to Play Lesbian Intern

Australian ex-pat Melissa George has signed on to play a lesbian intern in the upcoming sixth season of hit U.S. medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy.

The 32-year-old, who’s had a number of television guest appearances in the States of late, has snagged herself her very first “regular spot” on a  U.S. sitcom since moving  there in the late 90’s.

According to a source, George’s spot on the show could be the ticket she needs to make the big time in tinseltown.

Her character, a “budding medico”, will fall for one of Grey’s established female leads. Rumour has it that her lesbian partner will be either Callie (played by Sara Ramirez) or Erica (Brooke Smith).
