When Krista was laying it out to me, I was pretty surprised by a lot of things, so it should be a fun one. It feels kind of like we’re back to normal. Storywise, this feels like it’s more back to normal in terms of the Grey’s universe - all of the ups and downs, romances and friendships, and then the drama within the hospital and everything to do with the medical cases we have to deal with. Just as an actor, being able to really interact with one another feels easier. I find a huge amount of freedom not having to wear masks in scenes. This season, we’re dealing with an alternate universe where COVID has been dealt with and is now gone. I didn’t find it easy in terms of performance because you’re almost behind a wall the whole time. We were dealing with a really difficult time and logistical difficulties as well - obviously, we were in masks and the whole time. How would you describe its tone, especially after the dark days of Season 17? TVLINE | You mentioned speaking with Krista about the overall arc of the season. It just felt like an evolution of the story. It didn’t feel like a test to me, it felt like it made sense in terms of their situation, Cormac being the chief of pediatric surgery and having Luna as a patient. TVLINE | I took it as sort of the show’s way of chemistry-testing you and Camilla Luddington together. They’re maybe just two strong personalities rubbing off one another, but who knows? But I don’t know if they’re romance sparks, friendship sparks or just people sparks. No matter who you’re interacting with, they’re people, so there are sparks. I mean, the characters are all fiery, I suppose, so there always seem to be sparks going off in every direction. TVLINE | Speaking of twists and turns… Feel free to tell me I was seeing things, but… did I imagine flickers of sparks between Cormac and Jo last season? There will be lots of twists and turns… lots of bumps along the way. It’s Grey’s Anatomy, so it won’t be simple.īefore we started this season, Krista Vernoff was laying out for me where they imagine the story going - not just with regards to Ellen’s character but sort of the whole storyline throughout the season. We have had conversations in the past about the relationship when we got scripts and saw certain things, but we haven’t really had any conversations this year about what’s going to happen. TVLINE | Have you and Ellen Pompeo had conversations about how you think Meredith and Cormac would react to one another? But the heartstrings do pull at times, and whether you’re ready or not, things happen. Well, she’s obviously had a very difficult season last year, so she’s starting anew and going full-throttle into the next phase of her life. TVLINE | Would you say that she returns his feelings? Yes, his feelings are probably there for everyone to see, even if he’s not being vociferous about things. TVLINE | Yeah, he doesn’t have much of a poker face where Mer’s concerned. But I think it’s clear even in what he doesn’t say more than what he does say how he feels. He’s a reserved kind of character who wouldn’t be effusive with his feelings. I think his feelings are evident for everybody to see. Let’s try this: How would you describe Cormac’s feelings for Mer at this point? TVLINE | So it’ll be like we’ve flashed forward a little bit, then we’ll backtrack to fill in the blanks - is that about the size of it? I suppose at the start of this season, there will be references to stuff that has happened off camera, then you’ll see where it goes from there. TVLINE | First things first: Where do things stand between Meredith and Cormac when we return to Grey Sloan?
