The latest edition of French magazine Télé Loisirs, which came out today, has an interview with Justin and a few quotes from the interview were published on the site Pure People which is translated below.
I don’t speak french (I do know that “Dr Mamour” is what they call Dr. McDreamy, lol) so I mostly used the Google translator for this and made a few alterations but if any french-speaking fan wants to correct something, please do. Here’s the translated article:
Justin Chambers (Karev) about to dethrone McDreamy?
Wednesday, January 4, 2011, TF1 broadcast the seventh season of Grey’s Anatomy! After the incredible season 6 finale in which Seattle Grace had a bloody shootout, we find our Grey’s Anatomy heroes one month after the tragedy, still traumatized!
The program for this season, always more love and stories of complicated hearts. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) will live with the trauma of miscarriage hidden it has not announced Derek (Patrick Dempsey). For his part, Mark (Eric Dane) tries to regain Lexie (Chyler Leigh). As for Karev (Justin Chambers), he takes on a more important role.
Moreover, while the two heroes – Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo – could be about to leave the series, Justin Chambers is promoted. When asked by Télé Loisirs, he said: “The writers also work for some time that Dr. Karev takes on even more importance in Grey’s Anatomy.”
Regarding the departure of his colleagues, he admits: “It would be odd, and even unfortunate. But fans are not afraid of changes. They want change. I add that Karev has the experience to take over.”
Whatever the outcome of the series – whether or not it will finish at the end of season 8- Justin Chambers thinks he has the right to a spin-off. “I know that Shonda Rhimes would like to work on a new spin-off that my character could have a major role,” he said.
Interview to find in its entirety in Télé Loisirs (on newsstands December 26, 2011) and return to Grey’s Anatomy Season 7 on TF1 since January 4, 2012.
Some of the article gets lost in the translation but I think we get the gist of what is being said. The original cast and ABC studios are currently in contract talks (according to Patrick Dempsey) and it sounds like Alex Karev’s (and therefore Justin’s) fate on Grey’s Anatomy after season 8 is still very much up in the air.

This week, Justin has been in New Orleans to work on Broken City. On his free time from the movie he’s been around town keeping a low profile and he’s done some generous and thoughtful things for strangers like this (BTW it´s Alex. LOL).
Or in the case of a pedicab operator named Mark, who gave Justin a ride, his kids received a nice gift. Click on the link to read Mark’s blog about meeting JC this week in New Orleans.

I know I’ve been MIA but things have been rather quiet especially with Grey’s Anatomy on its winter hiatus. I’ll probably update the site a bit more often in the next few weeks since I’ll have some more free time.
As to the man himself, Justin is currently in New Orleans, Louisiana where he’s working on the movie ‘Broken City‘ but he’ll soon be returning to Los Angeles and his work on ‘Grey’s Anatomy‘.
Now for a few random things that have come out in the last few weeks:
-» Video of Justin at the 8th Annual Celebrity Bowling Challenge which benefit The KIS Foundation and raised awareness for sickle cell disease. The event was held back on Sept. 16 at PINZ Entertainment Center in Studio City, CA.
-» BuddyTV’s annual list of TV’s 100 Sexiest Men has Justin at #45.
-» An article titled “When is it time to put a television show out of its misery?” mentions Justin.
While Justin Chambers and Sandra Oh are still infinitely watchable, the rest of the cast has become boring and, in the case of show star Ellen Pompeo, annoyingly shrill.
