Ellen Pompeo will play Kristine Barnett. But is gag order still in play? Plus, a Cherry Lane/golf course roundabout coming. Chauncey Ave. Plaza about to debut. More pickleball, dog park at McCaw Park?

Thanks this morning go to the ongoing support from friends at Lafayette Brewing Co., the city’s original craft brewery in downtown Lafayette, for sponsoring today’s edition of the Based in Lafayette reporting project.

HULU TAKES THE BARNETT-NATALIA GRACE SAGA, AS TRIALS LOOM, GAG ORDER IN PLACE

The entertainment trades were all agush with news Wednesday that actress Ellen Pompeo was going to scale back her role on “Grey’s Anatomy,” as she took on a new project.
