‘Grey’s Anatomy’ season 13: Show exec on Alex – Meredith ‘shipping
At the moment, it feels like Alex has his “destined” love interest on “Grey’s Anatomy” in Jo; meanwhile, at the same exact time, we have to consider the possibility that Meredith is still out there. While she’s been looking more towards Riggs lately, even if it was just a hookup, these two has a tendency that is undeniable. Not only that, but Meredith has at least explored in therapy whether or not this sort of relationship would be a good idea.
We’re not sure whether or not anything will ever happen here, but the show’s executive producers are certainly aware of the fact that there are many people out there ‘shipping them together. In talking about this further in an interview with E! News, executive producer Betsy Beers had the following to pass along:
“I think there’s something about them where fans sometimes feel like that might be inevitable, so they’re getting ahead of it. So I don’t think it surprises me because I think it’s a logical place to go … Look, they’re best friends, so I think emotionally—and I’ve always been a giant Alex fan, like from the beginning. I was like, ‘People are way, way underestimating the power of Alex.’ They were like, ‘Oh, he’s mean and he’s a bad boy,’ but in season two, when you realize he has a thing for Izzie and he gives her a cupcake and she’s all Denny Duquette about stuff, and there’s this one scene where you see that he’s going to give her the cupcake and he sees her with Denny and this thing happens, and I became very righteous on Alex’s behalf. So any given chance, I was about Alex. He’s deep.”
Ultimately, we’re taking a wait-and-see approach here because we see both sides. In one way, we do understand why there are many people rooting for Meredith and Alex; however, at the same exact time, there’s something quite lovely about a show having two really close friends that actually don’t end up being together romantically.
