★ TV Line answered a fan’s question about what to expect for Jolex in season 12.
Shonda promised it’s finally time for Jolex’s story in season 12 of Grey’s Anatomy. Any hint about what can be their storyline? Thanks! — Ana
Believe it or not, executive producer Shonda Rimes planned to tell a big storyline with them last season, but it had to be sidelined so the show could facilitate Patrick Dempsey’s exit. Therefore, the duo will be stepping more into the spotlight this year. “They’re really cute,” Rhimes says. “I’m enjoying them. We’re watching Alex be more of a man. I also think we’ve been talking about this idea of him being more of a man in everybody’s life in a weird way. He feels a responsibility for Meredith in a brotherly way, and he’s got Jo. There’s a lot of romance going on there. They’re going to be struggling through the problems of any relationship.”
★ Finally, a very lucky fan got to hang out on the Grey’s set on Saturday (Sept. 12) and took this great pic with director Debbie Allen and the cast which included Jerrika Hinton, Chandra Wilson, Caterina Scorsone, Jessica Capshaw, Jesse Williams, Camilla Luddington, Sarah Drew and, of course, Justin. They are currently filming episode 12.05.

Sarah Drew uploaded this selfie with Justin from the set of Grey’s Anatomy this Wednesday. They are currently filming the 250th episode of Grey’s (episode 12.05).
★ In the Sept/Oct issue of BELLA New York magazine, Camilla Luddington is interviewed and she tells a cute story about the first time she met Justin on the set of ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ This is what she said:
A super-fan of “Grey’s,” Luddington was not only excited to join the cast in the role of Dr. Jo Wilson but says she was even more elated to learn her character’s love interest was Alex Karev (played by Justin Chambers). She recalls their first meeting a few days before their first scene together. “Justin stopped by my trailer and broke the ice when he said, ‘I hear you’re my new girlfriend.’” With a similar response, Luddington says he was so sweet in the initial meeting and remembers thinking “thank God he is so nice!”
★ A member of the Grey’s crew tweeted this behind-the-scenes pic of Justin shooting the scene where Alex gets in a fight with Shane Ross in episode 10.13 “Take It Back.”
