First, what are you loving about Season 12?
Everybody is at this amazing crossroads. Meredith is trying to rebuild her life and navigate the sisters; Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is chief; Jackson (Jesse Williams) and April (Sarah Drew) are having a rough go at it; I’m really loving Jo (Camilla Luddington) and Alex (Justin Chambers) trying to navigate their relationship; gosh, I want Owen (Kevin McKidd) to be happy; Arizona and Callie are where they are; I’ve got Maggie (Kelly McCreary) sitting there not knowing what the hell to do. I just want to see more and more and more of those situations play out.Favorite character evolution?
I loved watching what’s happened with the chief because I feel like in a weird way, the chief has gone through personally more change than anybody else — he went from being just the chief to somebody who had this relationship with Meredith’s mother. I mean, the man has children he didn’t know about, he struggled with an addiction problem, he’s worked his way through being the head, he almost died. All of the characters have been through a lot, but I always come back to being rooted with the chief. And I think I’ve also always been really kind of fixated on Alex’s relationships and him finally getting to a place where he can finally have a good relationship with somebody. I’ve always loved Alex because Alex presents this tough and sarcastic [attitude], but there’s this moment early on with Izzie when he gives her a cupcake because he likes her and then he finds out that she actually has a thing for Denny and you can see his whole world fall apart. There’s something about Alex that I find just to be always compelling. I feel like there’s always something going on that you don’t know.
As usual, here are the screencaps from the most recent episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ titled “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”
