‘Grey’s Anatomy’ season 13: Justin Chambers chimes in on Meredith – Alex romance
Mrs. Carter: Is there a future for Alex and Meredith on “Grey’s Anatomy“?
Fans of this show have been wondering what’s going to happen with these two for a while, but in true “Grey’s Anatomy” fashion, they love to make us go on a long journey before we get to the good stuff. We know that at the end of this past episode, there was an interesting moment that took place between the two characters that led to us thinking that this could be the beginning of them getting together.
So is this really happening or is it just a build up in our heads? Well, that’s what we are here to figure out and to help us get some clarity on this situation, of one of the actors at the center of everything has spoken up about it. Speaking in a new interview with TVLine, Justin Chambers (who plays Alex) stated that he currently sees the two as “as siblings that care very much for each other.” However, he did also contend that the idea of the two of them getting together is something that does often happen in this world, and therefore could happen rather easily if the masterminds behind it all want it to:
“…That happens in life, where people who are friends become lovers. Personally, I don’t see that [happening] right now. I think it would be kind of strange.”
Ultimately, we do see both sides. We like the idea of the two together romantically, but also understand that there’s something both very valuable (and rare) on TV where you have two platonic friends who never end up having a romantic relationship despite being of different sexes. One of the better examples of it would be Jack and Liz on “30 Rock.” For the most part, if there are male and female main characters, eventually they do end up together in one way or another, so there’s something rather special about male and female characters that are legit just friends.
In the end, both Meredith and Alex do also have other potential romantic partners out there in Riggs and Jo. Whether or not they end up together, meanwhile, is a very different story.
What do you think: Is there hope for these two characters to get together still, or would you prefer it to not happen? Let us know in the comments, and head over here in the event you do want to get some additional news right now when it comes to “Grey’s Anatomy.” (Photo: ABC.)
