It’s still going strong 12 seasons later! Grey’s Anatomy won the 2016 People’s Choice Award for Favorite Network TV Drama! Check out one of the official portraits with the cast that attended the awards:

Left to Right: Jerrika Hinton, Chandra Wilson, Camilla Luddington, Ellen Pompeo (winner of the PCA for Favorite Network TV Actress), James Pickens, Jr., Kelly McCreary, Justin Chambers, Caterina Scorsone, Sarah Drew.

Unfortunately, Justin lost the award for Favorite Dramatic TV Actor to Taylor Kinney (Chicago Fire). Regardless of that, congratulations to Justin on his nomination and congratulations to the cast and crew of Grey’s Anatomy for all its success.

There’s a lot to update with between social media and professional pics. I’ll be working on it, so look out for that. 🙂

Right now, check out the moment ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ won the 2016 PCA for Favorite Network TV Drama below.

★ The People’s Choice Awards (PCAs) revealed that Justin will be attending the show this Wednesday, January 6th at 9/8c on CBS!

The PCAs posted a pic of seat cards and in it we see Justin’s seat card along with his Grey’s Anatomy cast mates Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens, Jr.

 
★ Also, a new pic was posted on Justin’s Instagram account featuring his pitbull Zucchero with a ‘Happy 2016’ caption.

★ TV Fanatic recently published its midseason report card for season 12 of Grey’s Anatomy. Justin’s character, Alex, once again got singled out as the character who deserves more screentime. Alex proposing to Jo was chosen as the most surprising cliffhanger.
Read on to see what they had to say about Alex and click the link to see the full report card.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Midseason Report Card

Character Who Deserves More Screentime: I can’t wait for the day when Alex Karev stops being chosen as most underutilized character, but that day just hasn’t come yet. We love Alex Karev, but too often, he’s a side character rather than one who gets the focus. Based on the cliffhanger at the end of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 12 Episode 8, though, it seems like this issue may be remedied when the series returns from hiatus.

Most Surprising Cliffhanger: Alex proposed to Jo on the night that she decided to tell him she was leaving. Jo has been struggling with the fact that Alex rarely seems to put her first, which is only exacerbated by Alex’s close friendship with Meredith. But the closeness and the secrets that were driving Jo crazy? That’s because Meredith had been holding on to the engagement ring for Alex. When he does propose, it’s beautiful. Of course, that’s a mid-season finale for you, and we won’t get the answer until ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 12 returns.

 
★ Over at EMGN, they published a list of the 15 awesome TV characters that weren’t the main character. Alex Karev is on their list. Check it out:

15 Awesome TV Characters That Weren’t The Main Character

Alex Karev starts out as the ultimate D-bag. Then he turns into the heartbreaker. Then viewers start liking him because they learn his backstory and find out about his crazy mother and then there’s the whole Ava thing… Then everyone hates him again – but then the Izzy thing happens. Anyway, long story short: thank you, Justin Chambers, for the many facets of Alex Karev and making him one of the best and intriguingly diverse characters on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.

 
★ Last week, on Christmas Eve, a couple of fans ran into Justin at Amoeba Music store in Hollywood and took this pic with him.

Well, it’s that time of year when the reviews and retrospectives start coming out…

★ People magazine named Shonda Rhimes one of the “25 most intriguing people of the year” and Entertainment Weekly published outtakes from its favorites photo shoots of 2015. Both magazines used new photos from their Shondaland photo shoot and I added the scans to our gallery.

 
★ TV Fanatic has been posting its ‘Year in Review’ lists and, unsurprisingly, Alex Karev is on its list of 15 characters who deserve more screen time. Check it out:

Year in Review: 15 Characters Who Deserve More Screen Time

As we continue our year in review, we’re looking at characters who could have made good work of more juicy stories.

They were underutilized, some of them mere backgrounds when they are, in fact, leads. Try to find good photos of them in their current season and you’ll see what we mean.

Others are just so good we think they should be featured a lot more often.

1. Alex Karev from Grey’s Anatomy. He’s one of the best characters and one of the few originals remaining, yet he does not get the screen time he deserves. Grey’s keeps bringing in unnecessary new characters instead of featuring the great ones they already have. Alex should be saving babies while providing advice and sarcastic comments on a regular basis. Instead, he’s pushed to the sidelines more often than not.

★ POPSUGAR is hosting a poll for the Best TV Couple of 2015. Jo and Alex (Jolex) are one of the couples on the poll, so go vote for them HERE.

 
★ Actress Cathryn Dylan posted on Instagram a pic with Justin on the set of Grey’s Anatomy. She will be guest starring in an episode scheduled to air in March 2016 (I think it’ll be episode 12.12). Check out the pic:

★ The Winter (mid-season) finale of Grey’s Anatomy aired last night and ABC released six stills of the big Alex and Jo moment and a behind-the-scenes photo of Justin, Ellen Pompeo, Camilla Luddington and Caterina Scorsone filming the carpool scene. The high quality photos have been added to the gallery and the album link is below.

★ Yesterday, Jessica Capshaw posted this cute selfie with Justin during the table read for Grey’s episode 12.12.

 
★ With the Winter finale having aired, Grey’s Anatomy is once again on hiatus until February 11 when it returns with episode 12.09 titled “The Sound of Silence”.

There isn’t a promo with new scenes yet, but here’s a promo teasing the return of the TGIT lineup in 12 weeks.

A couple of BTS pics taken on the set of Grey’s Anatomy were posted on Instagram. I’m unsure of the day or during which episode they were taken. Justin wearing a T-Shirt and having his arm tattoo visible indicate that he wasn’t filming or in character when the pics were taken. Fun pics though!

 
Below is the promo for the Winter finales of the TGIT shows tomorrow night. Also, there’s a new sneak peek with Meredith and Amelia that can be seen HERE.
