The medical drama returns to ABC tonight (September 27) at 9/8c and will explore the aftermath of last season&amp;#039;s devastating plane crash, which claimed the life of Lexie (Chyler Leigh), sister of Meredith (Pompeo).  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s definitely angry at the beginning of the season,&amp;quot; Pompeo told TV Guide of her character. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s angry about all the stuff that happened, so she&amp;#039;s teaching her interns and she&amp;#039;s really mean to them.&amp;quot; The actress called her performance in the new season&amp;#039;s early episodes &amp;quot;an homage&amp;quot; to Kate Burton, who plays her stern on-screen mother Ellis Grey. &amp;quot;I get to channel Kate Burton and be mean,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;[But Meredith also] wants everyone else to stay together and is trying to rally for everyone to stick around.&amp;quot; Pompeo recently revealed that she doesn&amp;#039;t always agree with her character&amp;#039;s actions, adding that she remains &amp;quot;professional&amp;quot; even if she dislikes an aspect of the scripts. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m just a paid employee who has to do what [the writers] say,&amp;quot; she suggested. &amp;quot;We have a boss like everybody else. You may not always agree with it but you still have to be professional and do the best you can.&amp;quot; Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy airs on ABC in the US and on Sky Living in the UK. &amp;amp;gt; Kate Walsh &amp;#039;open to Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy return&amp;#039;&amp;amp;gt; Bones actor Andrew Leeds lands Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy role Watch a clip from the Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy season nine premiere below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
