Season eight left us with one doctor dead, another looking like he was on his way, others severly injured and tears all around after the surgeons of Seattle Grace experienced a plane crash in the mountains.

Season nine's premiere is expected to answer many questions and here are some of the reported details.

The title of the premiere is "Going Going, Gone" and it will fast forward a few months ahead.

TVLine reported that Patrick Dempsey revealed that his Dr. Derek Shepard character in not going to have a "miraculously cured" hand when the season begins.

"The first couple of episodes, he's trying to perform surgery, and it's not working, so he has to make an adjustment.," Dempsey said.

However, Sara Ramirez came out saying that her character, Callie, "absolutely puts pressure on herself" to help Derek and figure out a way for him to be a fully-operational surgeon again.

"Any of the people we saw injured are not going to be A-OK when we come back," the show's executive producer, Shonda Rhimes said to TV Guide. "We're going to watch what happens to a doctor who can temporarily no longer perform surgery... And what do you do and how do you overcome this? Derek is being pretty heroic about it, which is interesting."

While last season's finale made viewers almost positive that Mark is going to die, Arizona's future is still up in the air.

Ramirez said that Callie and Arizona's future is going to be "an intense one," and Gather.com suspected that based on what has been said, Arizona might survive the plane crash but with a permanent injury, because of the intensity of the impact.

Rhimes said this will be the "season of romance," and so some surprises are bound to be in store.

A slow reconciling of Cristina and Owen's relationship is also confirmed to take place, as they start to reignite their passion and remember how much they love each other.

Watch the season premiere on Sept. 27 at 9/8c on ABC.
