It’s “The Season of Romance” for Grey’s Anatomy

As Grey’s Anatomy‘s ninth season grows closer and closer to beginning production – the first official table read for the season was held on Monday, July 16 – series creator Shonda Rhimes has slowly begun to re-enter the Twitter world, and by doing so has begun to spill some details regarding the show’s ninth year. Replying to a fan asking what the vibe of the table read had been, Shonda replied that she was calling Season Nine “The Season of Romance,” which could bode well for many a character and couple, hopefully and particularly Alex, who hasn’t had much luck in the love department, well… ever.
