★ The interviews the Grey’s Anatomy cast gave on the set of the show in January are being released this week ahead of the record-breaking episode this Thursday. There is more still to come, but here are the first few.

In these following two videos posted by E! News, the cast answers rapid fire questions about each other. It’s actually pretty funny and gives some good insight into the cast. 😂

 
★ Good Morning America has been airing segments about Grey’s this week. The first video aired on Tuesday and the cast talks about the romance on the show. The second video aired on Wednesday and the cast share what is their favorite episode.

★ ABC released promotional photos for Grey’s Anatomy episode 15.17 titled “And Dream of Sheep” airing March 17th this week. There is one photo of Justin and it can be seen in high quality at the album linked below.

★ The Hollywood Reporter posted an article about Grey’s making history this week when it airs the 332nd episode and surpasses ER as the longest-running primetime medical drama.
The article has quotes from the entire cast and the showrunner (Krista Vernoff), but I’m only posting Justin’s. Read it in full at the link.

Other castmembers point to medical storylines that have helped viewers diagnose loved ones. Wilson is especially proud of the cyclic vomiting syndrome episode, while Chambers singles out exploring mental illness with Alex’s mother in a storyline first planted in the show’s early days. But all involved can point to several subjects the series has explored that have helped open minds and let viewers see versions of themselves on TV.
(…)
Everyone on the Grey’s call sheet will give credit for the show’s creative and ratings resurgence to Vernoff, who as Chambers says, “hit a refresh button and reinvigorated the show.”
(…)
As the episode doubles as a celebration of sorts of the record-breaking milestone, the stars all share the same refrain when asked about the significance of doing a whopping 332 hours of television. All involved recall their initial shock that the series few thought would work has become the powerhouse franchise it is today.

“My goal was to do the pilot, take the check and pay some bills!” Wilson recalls with a laugh. Adds Chambers: “When we were in season two, I’d say to everybody, ‘Do you think we’ve got two more years? I just wanted to get my kids to college.’ And now some of them are done with it!”
(…)
Of the many notable cast departures, Vernoff, Pompeo and the cast all have quick answers at the ready when asked about which former Grey’s co-stars they’d like to bring back to Prospect Studios:

Chambers (Alex): “Richard Edward Herrmann. He played my intern for a while and was such a joy to work with. He passed on but I felt very lucky to work with him.”

 
★ To celebrate reaching a new milestone, ABC put together the following ‘By the Numbers’ video for Grey’s which enumerates the amount of surgeries, weddings, hookups, seriouslys, among other things.

★ We had already heard a few months ago that Lindsay Wagner would reprise her role as Alex’s mom, Helen Karev, and this week Entertainment Tonight revealed that we’ll be seeing her in episode 15.15 (slated to air on Feb. 28th), which is the special milestone episode that will make Grey’s Anatomy the longest-running primetime medical drama.
And to make things even better, Lindsay posted this BTS pic of herself on set with Justin.

★ ET also aired this segment on Thursday for the midseason premiere of Grey’s. It’s about some of the “secrets” behind the show, and Justin makes an appearance where he talks about how the original pilot was shot without Alex Karev.

 
★ Lastly, Michael Ausiello (President and Editorial Director of TVLine) was on the set of the show when the cast was doing press last week, and he got Justin and Camilla Luddington to send this nice video message to his niece, Lauren. Check it out:

★ The Hollywood Reporter recently posted an article where industry insiders were asked what to get for casts, crews, studio executives, directors and agents ahead of the holidays. Justin was one of the people asked and his answer is below.

Actor Justin Chambers (Grey’s Anatomy): “I got this clock, this little travel clock with my initials on the cover of it. You can travel with it. It’s not a digital, but it’s the hand. I got it from my agent, Steven Hirsch.”

 
★ Grey’s Anatomy co-executive producer and writer, Jason Ganzel, posted this BTS pic from the midseason finale (episode 15.08 titled “Blowin’ in the Wind”) in which Justin and Camilla Luddington were rehearsing a scene. Also in the pic is Jason, Kevin McKidd (director), Giacomo Gianniotti (he was shadowing Kevin) and Lindsay Cohen (script supervisor).

★ Last Thursday night (Nov. 1), Justin attended the 18th Annual Debbie Allen Dance Academy Fall Soiree Fundraising Celebration held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

I added a few photos of him on the red carpet to the archive, and the album link is below.

★ Justin also gave a few interviews at the event. He spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about why he finds Debbie Allen, who has been an executive producer and director on Grey’s Anatomy for several seasons, awe-inspiring.

“I call her a beast, a beautiful beast. I’m around her a lot on set, we all are. And just to see her juggle so many things and do it with grace and compassion and passion. She’s a very passionate woman and I’m in awe of it. I’m really happy to be here and congratulate her on all of her successes. We’re grateful to have her as a part of our show.”

 
When it comes to Grey’s, he gave his thoughts about the eventual end of the show and his future on it to Us Weekly.

“It’s still going strong and as long as they keep writing the way that they do and people invest in these characters, the show could just keep going. It’s kind of crazy,” he told Us and other reporters on Thursday. “I deal with today and this season and I’m grateful and having fun.”

★ Voting for the People’s Choice Awards ends this Friday (Oct. 19), so keep voting for Justin in the The Male TV Star of the 2018 category at the PCA site HERE.

 
★ Hollywood Life interviewed Justin at The Rape Foundation’s annual brunch (Oct. 7) and asked him about his future on Grey’s Anatomy, and also what’s coming up for Alex.

While at the event, which honored celebrity guest Jennifer Garner, Justin Chambers talked about his future on the series, saying, “I honestly don’t know [how much longer I’ll do the show]. I play it year by year now. We’ll see — this year is all I am thinking about. We are almost halfway through [filming Season 15].”

If you’ve been watching the current season, then you should know that Justin’s character, Alex Karev, was recently named the new chief of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital — a position he’ll seemingly hold until Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) decides she wants to take her job back. Bailey gave it up so she could focus more on surgery and less on the daily stresses that come from being the chief. Anyway, when Justin spoke about what’s coming up for Alex later this season, he said, “Alex is still chief so….. goofiness happens. We will see where they go with all of this. We are happy that people are still watching!” And watching we are — after 15 seasons, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of ABC’s top-two rated drama series.

 
★ The screencaps from the most recent episode titled “Momma Knows Best” have been added to the archive.

By the way, there is no Grey’s this week. The show returns with episode 15.05 titled “Everyday Angel” on Oct. 25th.

★ Actress Stefania Spampinato, who plays Dr. Carina DeLuca, posted this BTS pic from episode 15.04 with Justin, Jaicy Elliot, Chris Carmack and Giacomo Gianniotti.

Shondaland and theSkimm have teamed up and launched the ‘No Excuses’ campaign design at inspiring millennial women to vote in the midterm elections on Nov. 6th.

According to People:

The 60-second videos — to be released every Tuesday until the election — will feature Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder actors Justin Chambers, Kelly McCreary, Karla Souza, Conrad Ricamora, Kevin McKidd and Aja Naomi King debunking “common excuses’” people use to not vote.

“Millennial women are the demographic most unhappy with the state of our government but, compared to all other demographic groups, they’re also telling us they’re least certain to vote this November,” the companies say in a statement.

Check out the first video of the ‘No Excuses’ campaign featuring Justin below.
