ABC's hit medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" sets to begin production for season 10 July 16, and along with that, a few spoilers have serviced regarding Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), the 200th episode milestone, and what awaits fans in the upcoming season.
This tweet from "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" writer Dan Bucatinsky shows that Shonda Rhimes and her minions are back in business for season 10.

According to Wet Paint, the writers are currently breaking the first batch of episodes for "Grey's Anatomy," including the milestone 200th episode. In speaking to the 200th episode, writer Tony Phelan had this to say about it, in addition to season 10 as a whole.
Grey's Writers Room shuts down for hiatus. Get ready - cause there's a whole mess of drama coming in Ep. 1001-1003 & then ... the 200th ep! — Tony Phelan (@TonyTphelan) June 8, 2013
Questions will be answered-lives and loves drawn together/torn asunder. We're listening, but "The course of true love never did run smooth" — Tony Phelan (@TonyTphelan) June 8, 2013
Hm...spoilers may be hidden in the quote, but it's nothing specific.
But one specific topic that's been on everybody's minds since the season 9 finale is whether Richard Webber, played by James Pickens Jr., will return for season 10, given his untimely electrocution.
"Shonda Rhimes has teased that we'll see James Pickens Jr. again, though she won't elaborate on this particular spoiler," reports TV Guide.
While "Grey's Anatomy" has always focused on romantic relationships more than anything else, a funeral for Webber seems like something worthy of the 200th episode.
But don't fret quite yet.
Once production resumes for "Grey's Anatomy" on July 16, hopefully some set photos and spoilers will arrive to confirm Webber as alive and well.
