Actor drops hints about how the plane crash aftermath\naffects Seattle Grace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Lie Shia Ong<\/em> Last season, \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d ended in quite an emotional\nway. After a plane crash that killed one of their own (Spoiler alert: It was Lexie\nwho died). Derek, Meredith, Cristina, Mark and Arizona are fighting for\nsurvival as they wait to be rescued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Season 9 of the show premieres this Thursday, expect\nto shed some tears as the doctors deal with this latest tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSN TV spoke with Kevin McKidd, Dr. Owen Hunt, about what\u2019s\nahead this season and how things have changed at Seattle Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSN TV: In true \u201cGrey\u2019s\nAnatomy\u201d fashion, Shonda Rhimes left fans with a cliffhanger last season with a\nplane crash. What can you tell us about the Season 9 premiere this Thursday?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kevin McKidd: It\u2019s a big deal. It picks up a few months after the crash and it shows where everybody is at now, how far in their journey [they are] and how this terrible event has affected their lives. The second episode actually flashes back to the days after the crash at the crash site. \u2026 So it\u2019s a very intense few episodes. Pretty dark. \u2026 It gets pretty intense. It\u2019s a real roller-coaster ride during the two episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now your character, Owen, isn\u2019t just dealing with the plane crash and running the hospital, but he also just fired Teddy (Kim Raver) and is coping with he fact Cristina (Sandra Oh) might be leaving. Will we see some resolution in their relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope so. It\u2019s hard to say. I really hope so. I always believed Cristina and Owen are kind of destined to be together even though on paper they sort of don\u2019t add up. There\u2019s so much between them. There\u2019s so much fire between them. I think they\u2019re kind of meant for each other. I think the path back is going to be a long one. If there is a path back. It\u2019s going to take a while for them to get over \u2026 all the baggage that they have to work through. Sometimes their communication skills aren\u2019t the best. So it\u2019s going to be hard, but I think it\u2019s going to be worthwhile, hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your fans sent in some questions on Twitter and Facebook they wanted me to ask you. Hannah wants to know if Owen is going to win Cristina back, or will she try to win him back?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think initially it\u2019s definitely going to be Owen. Cristina has just been through a traumatic event, and she wants to return to Owen and have him be there for her, but how ready she is or able she is to receive that from him, especially after what happened last year, it\u2019s difficult. It\u2019s difficult for them, and that hurts Owen too. Sometimes people shut down when they try and try and try with someone and they don\u2019t reciprocate it. So it\u2019s a back and forth, push and pull between Cristina and Own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Milee wants to\nknow: Will the baby issue be resolved at all? Is there any hope of Cristina ever\nwanting a baby?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t know about that one. I hope they can move past it\nand try to make peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several characters won\u2019t be returning to the show this season, including Teddy, who you fired and, sadly, Lexie who died in the plane crash at the end of last season, and Mark (Eric Dane) will also be leaving the show after the first few episodes of the season. How do you think this will affect the dynamic of the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think it affects the show emotionally because you suddenly\nfeel the absence of all these great characters. What\u2019s exciting is that it\nmakes way for a whole bunch of new interns and doctors who are becoming\nattending [doctors]. There\u2019s a whole rebirth to the stories, but those\ncharacters are very much missed. I think, not just off set, but the on-screen\ncharacters mourn the loss of the people who have gone. \u2026 So yeah, it\u2019s\ndefinitely emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve actually\ndirected several episodes of \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy.\u201d Any plans to do so this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, I just completed an episode about a week and a half\nago, I hope to do even more this season. I\u2019m really enjoying the directing. It\u2019s\na great, great challenge and one I feel very blessed to get the opportunity to\ndo\u2014not everyone gets this opportunity. I\u2019m really learning how to do it and how\nto do it well. \u201cGrey\u2019s\u201d is such a great training ground because there\u2019s very\ntalented people and passionate people to work for. I\u2019m working with some of the\nbest. I\u2019m enjoying my time as a director very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there any special\nepisodes, like the musical one planned for this season, that you know of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I haven\u2019t heard about those big-event episodes yet. I\u2019m sure there will be, but they usually come later in the season, so you\u2019ll have to keep your ears peeled for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shonda Rhimes has\nsaid this season will be one of romance, and I\u2019m guessing it\u2019s also going to be\none of bromance with Owen and the rest of the guys. What\u2019s ahead for them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think Owen and Derek especially do tend to bond, and they\u2019re bonding more and more. Derek is going through a challenging time because of the aftermath of what happened to him during the crash. \u2026 He and Owen will definitely become closer during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shelley wants to\nknow, how is McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) on set?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Patrick is just Patrick. He\u2019s hilarious. He\u2019s a force of nature. There\u2019s never a dull moment with Patrick around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the season premiere, fans can follow along with you as you live tweet along with the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, during the 9 p.m. PT broadcast. I find it quite\nweird that I\u2019ll be tweeting while watching the show. I think I\u2019ll find it hard\nto concentrate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: you can\nfollow along @TheRealKevinMcKidd.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any last message\nyou have for your fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think people who are Cristina and Owen fans should try\nto keep the faith. I know it\u2019s hard. There\u2019s pretty dark times ahead and it\u2019s\nbeen dark for them. \u2026 They should keep the faith because I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Actor drops hints about how the plane crash aftermath affects Seattle Grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-msn-entertainment","category-portfolio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=550"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":882,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550\/revisions\/882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lieshiaong-sintzel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
