Alex Karev
Camilla Talks Jolex!
Friday, May 17th, 2013Hey Grey’s Fam,
Even though the Grey’s season finale had quite a bit of heartbreaking and ‘WTF?’ moments, one of the bright spots was Alex finally confessing his love for Jo and kissing her! Camilla Luddington did a brief interview with Elle to chat about Jolex and that moment we’ve all been waiting for.
How did you prep for that climactic moment?It was the last scene of the night. It was probably one in the morning. Everyone had gone home so there was an intimacy to the set. I separated myself from everyone and listened to really romantic music—Mumford & Sons and U2—and just cheesed it up. By the time he approached me, my heart was beating out of my chest. Let me just say this: Justin Chambers is a wonderful kisser. I totally melted.
What do you all think of Jolex? Are you excited they finally got it together?
E! Tonight’s OMG TV Moments
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013Hey again, Gabbler family!
I’m sure Grey’s Anatomy had some of your mouths hanging open similar to mine tonight lol Apparently, the folks at E! felt the same way!
Grey’s Anatomy: Fans were in for a major shock when Jo (Camilla Luddington) showed up at Alex’s (Justin Chambers) place bruised and beaten after a fight with Jason (Charles Michael Davis). Woah, raise your hand if you did not see that coming. Now raise your other hand if you want Alex to kick his ass.

I vote for “Yes”, E! lol Well… at least the part of me that wants to see Chesty McDouche-y gets what’s coming to him. But the more maturer side of me wants to see the matured Alex we’ve come to know handle this situation in a not so violent way. What about ya’ll? Think there’s a chance that Alex won’t go all ape grape nuts on Jason?

What About Alex? A Review 9.21 by @silverscwolf
Sunday, April 28th, 2013Hey Gabblers!
This episode starts out with Jo and Alex walking down the halls. They run into some CDC personnel and Alex makes a point of telling them to watch it, explaining that they are here to take down Bailey and so he doesn’t need to be nice to them. But Jo meant her boyfriend. Apparently Alex is still calling him d-bag but with a smile, which makes it all okay, right? Wrong. Then the ball drops on our guy when Miss Princess announced her intentions to move in with Chest Peckwell. At first Alex tries to be nice about it and act like a good supporting friend, but when Jo seeks confirmation of his reaction he flat out explains that he thinks she’s stupid for moving in with a guy she barely knows. I have to say, I kind of agree with you there buddy, whether or not your reason to disagree was honorable or not. At the end he assures Jo that he will be nice to her boyfriend on the case they have to work on together.
Next scene is a funny one, an old vintage-like Grey’s MAC scene in which Alex, Cristina, and Meredith are getting swabbed while discussing whether or not Meredith is going to poop on the table during labor. Alex say’s that it happens to everyone before confirming with a ‘Holla’ that the reason they’re all friends is because they have yet to witness each other go to the bathroom. Alex, sweetie, you’ve been hanging around too many women.
Alex, Yang, and Myers are on a pregnant case together where the baby has hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The mother asks if she will be able to hold her baby after he’s born, but Cristina and Jason are quick to explain the risks. Alex stays silent looking sympathetic for the nervous couple. When Cristina brings up the suggestion that they simply perform the procedure in the cath lab instead of wasting time transporting the baby to an OR, Alex surprises us all by jumping to side with Peckwell when he is hesitant to go through with it. There’s a funny moment where he calls him by his nickname again, and there seems to be an unspoken truce between the two men that is refreshing after these past few episodes.
Cristina and Alex are walking to the cath lab when she points out that Jo is Alex’s ‘girl’. He tries to tell her that she’s just his friend but Cristina say’s he sounds stupid when he says that, which I have to admit he kind of does. Just like any good friend should, Cristina encouraged Alex to punch Jason out and claim Jo but Alex’s only concern is losing her. Which is sad considering what happens in the end…. They perform the C-section and Ale takes the baby into the next room. Together he and Cristina monitor and operate with a successful outcome. I have to say it’s nice seeing these two work together again. They make a great team.
Back in the NICU Jason thanks Alex for his work today. They have a moment where they acknowledge that they got off to a bad start, and Alex say’s that he just wants what’s best for Jo since she had such a bad childhood. Apparently this was news to Myers because next thing we know Jo is knocking on the glass later to get Alex’s attention and she scolds him for sharing what was apparently a secret of hers. I personally have no idea how he was supposed to know this was sacred information since he only learned about Jo’s time in foster care because she was defending herself, not confiding in him. It hurt to see her tell him not to talk about her or to her ever without giving him a chance to explain, but this is probably the big set up for the last three episodes. I hope that she realizes her mistake and talks to him about it later.
Especially since Alex recently did a little soul searching and made a discovery about himself: ‘I’m such an idiot. I love her.’ This was by far my favorite scene of the whole episode. Justin delivered his lines superbly and I really felt for him when he had no one else to turn to but Cristina. I’m happy that someone was there for him and he was able to talk to one of his friends about his feelings. This is probably the first time Alex has really been in love since Izzie, and that’s why I think he was in denial. It was a defense mechanism to protect himself from being hurt again, but now that he’s finally lost Jo (or so he thinks), he feels the full brunt of it.
A Gabble about Season 9 & Ships of GA
Thursday, April 25th, 2013Gabblers: Welcome- we have decided to have a gabble about season 9 and the ships of Greys Anatomy. We asked our amazing reviewers: @pamfier to give us her insight on MerDer, @sportsfan12921 on Calzona and @silverscwolf on the developing Jolex. We have a special guest reviewer for Crowen who we refer to her as “L”. We hope you enjoy this ship gabble as much as we are. Remember Greys Gabble loves every ship and we will always remain United Nations of Grey
Is there something you would have liked to have seen happen with your ship but did not materialize in Season 9?
@pamfier: It would’ve been interesting to see Meredith and Derek dealing more with their grief over losing Mark and Lexie. I feel that could’ve been a longer storyline in and of itself.
@silverscwolf: During the wedding, I would have liked to have seen Alex and Jo actually talking and confiding in each other over the ‘I had it worse than you’ game they played. More scenes like the one where Jo bought him a couch would have been nice before Chest Peckwell was introduced. The couch and doughnut scenes are tied for my favorites.
@sportsfan12921: would have liked to see 1: more explanation as to why Callie didn’t go to Boise. In my head it’s because Arizona begged her not to get on a plane, especially with Sofia. 2: A more in depth conversation about Callie’s choice to save Arizona’s life over her leg. We got pieces, but not a deep talk.
“L”: Um, I would have liked to have seen Cristina and Owen not divorce…because the marriage was not the source of their problems and did not solve their problems…but that is another rant for another time. I would love to see CO have a place of their own again-I miss them having scenes in the firehouse-and I would love to have seen a moment where Cristina mentions Dr. Thomas to Owen.
Do you think your ship has grown this season? If not -why?
@pamfier: Oh hell yes they’ve grown. They’ve been looking more like a cohesive unit more than ever
@silverscwolf: On Jolex- As of right now, I don’t think Jolex has grown much. They have yet to even be established as a ship. The triangle story needs to be tossed and fast.
@sportsfan12921: Calzona has definitely grown. They are now definitely portrayed as a committed couple. Arizona losing a leg was a LOT to go through and they came through all of it together and I believe stronger and more committed to each other than before. Also, without the Mark crutch, I think Callie will now go to Arizona first. Which is a piece they were missing before, even during S8.
“L”: Cristina/Owen have definitely grown this season. We have seen them put each other first so many times even when they were separated: Owen taking care of Cristina in the wake of the plane crash, Owen asking for a divorce so that Cristina and the others could the lawsuit money, Cristina steadfastly believing that Owen wasn’t responsible for the crash and standing up for him during the lawsuit-they have come a long way from the miscommunications of season 8.
Favorite ship moment of Season 9?
@pamfier: Hands down, when Derek gave Meredith the results of his genetic mapping (“Yeah, I’m a real catch”). I loved everything about that scene. I also loved how Meredith told Derek she was pregnant.
@sportsfan12921: My favorite moment: I am taking the coward’s way out and picking one for each half of the season. First half: the hotel scene when Callie and Arizona are watching TV… the entire “don’t run” and “no way I’m leaving yours” It was awesome. Second half (I reserve the right to change if the buying a house happens 
) The x-ray room scene. Perfection, so emotional and real. That’s when I knew that not only were they back but that they were stronger.
“L”: I have three: The bathtub scene where Cristina speaks again for the first time to Owen, showing that he is indeed her person in some ways that Meredith is not, the scrub room scene when Cristina realizes why Owen asks for a divorce, where Owen allows himself to be emotional and vulnerable with her again and we see her assuring him that he was not responsible for the plane crash, and their scene in the on-call room when Owen is lying in Cristina’s lap that shows their intimacy and how comfortable they are with one another.
