Karev says he’ll do anything he can to get back into pediatrics. Being Karev’s friend obviously means she doesn’t hope he goes to jail, but also being a true friend to Andrew, she also has to support him wanting there to be some consequences. I think she’s trying to unpack how that all feels for her and what to do going forward. I don’t think it was until she got back that she realized how bad of a beating this was. I think ultimately having been in a relationship with him for the past seven seasons, I think that she knows his nature and she’s mostly upset because he genuinely hurt someone else. In Thursday night’s episode, Arizona was really upset at Karev (Justin Chambers) for beating up DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti). She said, “I missed you today, but I’m still really, really mad at you.” What does Arizona and Karev’s relationship look like going forward?
And who knows - there might be more than one! I have no idea. I came on as a guest star for three episodes, and look at me now. It’s always really exciting when someone new comes on. Will this new love interest be someone that we already know? Or will it be a new character? So who knows if that’s something that she’ll lean toward. I think what was interesting is that she surprised herself when she asked Callie to marry her - I don’t think she was necessarily looking for that convention of marriage and happily ever after. I don’t think Arizona has ever revealed herself as being anyone conventional. I don’t think you’ll be seeing any more children, though. Now, I think she’s probably easing back in and figuring out if she wants to be with someone. Last year was about her being intimidated and dealing with what one deals with after they get divorced. Will Arizona be getting into a serious relationship, or more of a hookup relationship? Somewhere leading up to the middle of the season, you will see her spreading her wings and flying a bit. Somewhere before the halfway line, I would say. I think that she went and that she helped get Sofia set up.Īrizona is getting a new love interest this season, correct?Ībsolutely! I think that is absolutely due, and I think that you will see that.Ĭan you tease when that new love interest may be introduced? Have you thought about what happened when Arizona went to NYC with Callie? Did you talk to the writers about that story that viewers didn’t get to see? I’m always like, “Wow, Arizona!” She’s always been sort of racy, so I wonder what’s going to happen next for her. There are always layers to peel back about people’s sexual history, and Arizona has always been sort of outward. Callie obviously has Penny, and I think what’s exciting is that you’ll be able to see Arizona and what she wants to have. I think it’s a very respectable way for people to understand that they don’t have to be at odds - they can still be supportive of each other and in each other’s lives. Her coming back and being able to narrate this other world that’s happening that you don’t get to see is really reassuring and is ultimately very valuable for viewers who have been through this relationship with the courtship and the marriage and the divorce. I think it’s a unique opportunity when you start a new season and a character starts a new chapter. How is Arizona dealing with Callie being gone? Here, Capshaw tells Variety about Arizona’s life without Callie, which means a new love interest - or, perhaps, interests… I have no idea. I’ve never been in the loop with any of that,” Capshaw says. “I think anything is possible, right?” (At the time of her exit, Shonda Rhimes said, “She will always have a home at Shondaland.”) But Capshaw does not know if there are any plans to bring the character back in the show’s future. With Callie moving to NYC - rather than being killed off or some other extreme storyline - the door was left open for Ramirez to perhaps return.
“I think that you always feel their absence, but I am always feeling grateful that they were there to begin with.” It’s such an incredible achievement for every actor who’s been on the show, even if they aren’t anymore,” Capshaw says. I think it’s amazing for a show to be on for 13 seasons.
“In the time I have been on ‘Grey’s,’ there was Sandra and there was Patrick. In real life, Ramirez left the show.Ĭapshaw tells Variety she has not spoken to Ramirez since the actress exited the series, but the lack of her presence is felt on set, as it always is with departing actors in the world of “Grey’s.” Making her first appearance this season, Jessica Capshaw returned to “Grey’s Anatomy” for her character’s all-new beginning.Īt the end of last season, Arizona’s ex-wife Callie (Sara Ramirez) left for New York City with her girlfriend Penny (Samantha Sloyan). SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 13, episode 3, of “Grey’s Anatomy,” which aired Thursday, Oct.
