Screencaps > 14.21 – Bad Reputation
★ Here is another behind-the-scenes photo from episode 14.21 posted by young actor Harlo Haas (source in the tweet) on the set of Grey’s with Sarah Utterback and Justin.
★ Sarah Utterback wrote an essay for the Shondaland site about her life, revisiting her Grey’s character, and she mentions Justin too. I’ll only post the part related to him, but it’s a great piece and I recommend reading it in its entirety at the link.
Shondaland: ‘Not Yet…’
Even my character, Nurse Olivia, has lapped me: Spoiler alert, but in my return to “Grey’s Anatomy,” we find out she’s moved, she’s married, she’s had a child. Naturally, this is what she’s been up to in her years since leaving Seattle Grace, so wouldn’t it make sense that I’d be up to the same?
I decided to get real with one person on set — Justin Chambers. And getting real always has its rewards. In response to his marriage and babies inquiry, I said, “No. I’m pretty much in the same place. I don’t know what that tells you about me, but I do know I’ve grown and feel like a much more present, grounded, and grateful person.”
“Because you’ve lived your life,” he said.
And he was right: I have. Rather than looking down at what little I felt I had to offer, Justin helped me acknowledge my evident personal growth, the comfort I now feel in my own skin, the self-awareness and confidence and sense of purpose I now carry — all things that will make me a better partner and parent, if I choose to inhabit those roles in the future. Even if my life looks pretty much the same, I feel completely different, and though it’s not a conversation starter, it’s still a milestone. Why don’t we value inner landmarks of growth in the same way we value outer achievements?
★ Below are tweets from Justin and Sarah about working together again.
