Few can forget the moment in last May’s killer
Grey’s Anatomy finale when Alex—fighting for his life after being shot in the chest by that crazed gunman—screams for his MIA ex, Izzie, and not his current lover, Lexie. The takeaway message was obvious: Despite Katherine Heigl’s abrupt departure last spring, her character’s arc—specifically her love story with Alex—is far from over. Grey’s boss Shonda Rhimes tells me that finding closure for Alex is one of her top priorities as she heads into
season 7.
“We’re talking about it (in the writers' room) obsessively and trying to figure it out,” she says. “We’re approaching it pretty carefully.“I want how ever we deal with Alex growing up and moving on and moving past that relationship to feel authentic,” Rhimes continues, “and not to feel like something that’s patched together.”
