As I’ve mentioned before, the Grey’s Anatomy: The Complete Thirteenth Season DVD set will be out next Tuesday, August 29. Check out this preview of the blooper reel that will be on the DVDs, it includes some Justin (see tweets below 😂).
★ Grey’s Anatomy filmed for a second day in Seattle on Tuesday (July 25) at Bell Harbor, Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal and on the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry.
During the day, Justin and a few other Grey’s actors gave interviews to Seattle’s KOMO News. The interviews will be posted before the season premiere (Sept. 28). Here’s a photo of Justin during the interview (high quality photo here):
Once again, I’ve placed the photos posted on social media in an album in the photo archive. The link to the albums and the sources are all below.

★ SPOILER ALERT: These videos show Justin on set and filming a scene with Kevin McKidd, Jason George and Jesse Williams. If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t watch it…
It’s the legendary Ann-Margret’s birthday today (April 28), so it’s a good time to post this clip of Justin talking about his friend in a 2014 Swedish documentary titled “Ann-Margret: Från Valsjöbyn till Hollywood.” (translation “Ann-Margret: From Valsjöbyn to Hollywood”)
The panel can also be watched on Youtube from the embedded the video below. The panel can also be watched from the embedded Facebook video below. There’s some really interesting discussion and insight about Grey’s from the cast & executive producer, Debbie Allen, so I recommend watching it.
Also (and once again), I’ve been getting a lot of people tweeting me that they loved watching and hearing Justin on the PaleyFest panel and wish he did more press interviews. Watch the video and see why. 😂😂
FYI, the panel consists of: Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr, Kevin McKidd, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Drew, Jesse Williams, Caterina Scorsone, Kelly McCreary, Jerrika Hinton, Jason George, Martin Henderson, Giacomo Gianniotti and Debbie Allen. Moderator was Henry Goldblatt, Editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly.
★ More PaleyFest interviews! During the Grey’s Anatomy panel, Justin was asked who Alex should be with: Jo or Meredith. TV Guide posted an article with a summary of Justin’s answer.
It’s the question that’s been haunting Grey’s Anatomy fans for all of Season 13: Should Alex (Justin Chambers) be with Jo (Camilla Luddington) or Meredith (Ellen Pompeo)?
On one hand, Jo is the woman that Alex is currently in love with and the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with before he beat up DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) and put their relationship on ice. On the other hand, Meredith is his oldest and closest friend. The two OG surgeons have been through thick and thin together and have grown extremely close since Cristina (Sandra Oh) left.
It’s ultimately up to the writers as to who Alex will eventually find happiness with, but Chambers weighed in on the matter Sunday during the Grey’s Anatomy panel at PaleyFest, an annual festival celebrating television.
“I think anything is possible, especially on Grey’s, you know what I mean?,” Chambers said after he was asked by moderator Henry Goldblatt of Entertainment Weekly which woman Alex should be with. “He might end up with Catherine [Avery]. I’d like to see Alex flesh out his relationship with Jo.”
Even though Chambers wants Alex to work it out with his current love, even he can’t deny there’s potential for Alex and Meredith to become more than just being each others’ person.
“People who have been friends for one another can become lovers. You never know,” he concluded.
Fans who have been clamoring for the original cast members to explore a romantic relationship should be happy that resurrection from the dead isn’t possible on Grey’s, though. Later in the panel Chambers was asked by a fan which deceased characters he would like to be able to bring back from the dead. His answer: McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) and McSteamy (Eric Dane). If raising the dead were possible, it would probably make it impossible for Alex and Meredith to end up together.
★ Justin was also asked on the red carpet by Entertainment Tonight about a potential Alex and Meredith romance and he talked about being excited to see what happens with Jo and Alex. Check out what he had to say in the article below and then watch the short video clip.
Could Alex Karev and Meredith Grey become romantically involved on Grey’s Anatomy?
ET caught up with Grey’s star Justin Chambers, who has played Alex since the series debuted in 2005, at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on Sunday, where he revealed where he stands on Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Alex’s romantic outlook.
“I think anything is possible,” Chambers told ET, referring to their ship name, “Merlex.” “I think friends can become lovers like that, that’s possible too.”
Chambers explained why he was OK with where Alex and Meredith currently stand and further elaborated on his preference for them to remain in the friend zone.
“I’m very comfortable with them being platonic — like brother and sister, and friends. I think that suits them better,” the 45-year-old actor said, leaving the door slightly ajar if a romance were to spark up. “But hey, who knows? Nobody knows how things go, you know? I was friends with my wife before we started dating.”
“They have been friends a long time though,” Chambers continued. “Alex and [Meredith] have come up together and I don’t know, [it’d be] a little weird, but anything is possible.”
Complicating matters is Alex’s complex relationship with his ex, Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington), with whom he’s been on the outs since beating up Andrew DeLuca (Giancarlo Giannotti) and nearly finding himself behind bars.
“I’m excited to see what happens with him and ‘Jolex,’” Chambers said of their unclear future. “I think they really love each other. I know they have a lot of obstacles to go through but it will be interesting to see what conflicts, fires they can put out.”
“Merlex and then Jolex, we’ll see what happens,” he teased.
