From Ausiello:
Question: I’m on the look for a scoop on Grey’s Anatomy. Can you give me any gossip on Cristina and Owen’s future? —Bonnie
Ausiello: This sort of pertains to them: Kevin McKidd will step behind the camera again to helm this season’s sixth episode. And unlike his last directorial effort, this episode won’t be Owen-lite. “I know that I’m going to be in it a lot more than I was when I first directed,” he says. “I was only in one scene in the first one; I’m going to be in this one a lot more.”

From TV Guide - Owen becomes the new Chief of Surgery when Richard steps down.
TVGuide.com can exclusively reveal that Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), whom the Chief enlisted to pick the new Chief Resident last season, will become the new boss.
What will happen to Dr. Webber? "He has already had enough as Chief," McKidd tells us. "He goes back to being an attending surgeon in the hospital. He gives Owen the job, and Owen is as shocked as everybody else, so it changes the whole structure of the hospital. Richard becomes like the all-seeing oracle, because he has all this knowledge. He's now a normal doctor, but everybody still comes to him. Owen, even though he's the Chief, comes to Richard a lot."
Are you surprised Owen is the new Chief? Will he be able to handle this new position with so much turmoil in his relationship with Cristina (Sandra Oh)? Hit the comments with your thoughts and stay tuned for more scoop on the new season of Grey's Anatomy, premiering Thursday, Sept. 22 at 9/8c on ABC.
