Grey's Anatomy Scoop: Jessica Capshaw Discusses Arizona's Fate and What's Next

Jessica Capshaw

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. Read at your own risk!]

After spending an entire summer wondering about the fates of our favorite Grey's Anatomy doctors, Thursday's premiere dropped several bombshells that forever changed the staff of Seattle Grace. Cristina (Sandra Oh) moved to Minnesota, Mark (Eric Dane) was pulled off life support, and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) was missing in action throughout most of the hour.

Missed the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy? Read our recap

The sad truth was that she was at home in bed, destroyed by the fact that not only lives were lost in the plane crash: Her left leg, which was severely injured in the accident, had to be amputated. Yes, the always chipper and bubbly pediatric surgeon who used to roll around the hospital on wheelie shoes is now missing a leg and she blames her wife Callie (Sara Ramirez) for it.

How will Arizona deal with the road ahead? TVGuide.com caught up with Capshaw to get the scoop on that and what this means for Calzona. (Shonda Rhimes, don't you dare break them up!) Get the scoop:

What was your reaction when Shonda told you she was planning to amputate Arizona's leg? Capshaw: I was shocked. I definitely didn't see that one coming. Which, in hindsight seems silly of me given that there was a very, very real and very profound injury at the end of last season, but I just didn't know. I didn't even go there. I guess that's why I don't create shows. [Laughs]

Arizona has always been the pillar of happiness. How dark will her journey go? Capshaw: I think that's the point. There is no light without dark, and there's no dark without light. Yes, at the inception of the character, I think there was something really nice about how light she was. ... Then, ever since going to Africa, when she came back, things just weren't the same. Something happened. It was the car crash. There was the baby. [And now] an airplane crash. She should just walk [out]. Now I say that and look what happened.

What will we see as Arizona is dealing with this? Capshaw: The writers and Shonda are obviously trying to tell good stories. It seems, in the many conversations that we've had, there was a real story here. It was an opportunity to tell a good story of something very profoundly difficult happening to Arizona. Now, we'll see the story of how she comes to terms with that, how long it will be dark, and when it will get light again. Hopefully, it's that whole thing about all the people in London and Seattle: When it rains all the time, that one day that you get that's sunny is like the best day ever. I think that's the idea.

'Grey's Anatomy' recap: Life Support

Image credit: Karen Neal/ABC

R.I.P. MCSTEAMYSeattle Grace mourned the loss of Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), as the doctor was pulled off life support in yet another tragic episode of Grey's Anatomy.

For the first few minutes of tonights ninth season premiere of Greys Anatomy, I was convinced we were in the midst of another alterna-reality episode of the ABC soap. My brain knew otherwise, of course, but remember when they did that oddly intriguing and oddly weird What If? episode last season? Yep, this return to the Greys world felt so different that it was reminiscent of the feeling that episode exuded.

So many things were weird: Lexie was dead! There were new interns and residents! Cristina was away working in Minnesota! Karev was headed to Johns Hopkins! There was no sign of Kepner or Arizona! Bailey was deliriously happy! Derek and Callie were shattered with grief! Meredith was tearing around the hospital as the new Bailey/Nazi, nicknamed Medusa! Sloan was laying there on life support! Sorry for all the exclamation marks, but they seemed rather necessary, considering how dire all of these things are. Is this the Seattle Grace we left last May when a huge portion of our beloved doctors were stranded after their plane crashed in Idaho? Nope, not exactly -- in fact, not at all. Clearly, lots had changed, making this an intriguing hour of television.

Granted, while many things had changed as we zeroed back into Seattle Grace Mercy West after a summer away, some were exactly the same. Like, say, how Meredith opened the hour with her patented monologue that cut right to the chase. Dying changes everything, Meredith began, foreshadowing the grim hour to come. The world just keeps on goingwithout you. Meredith was surely referencing the death of her sister Lexie, who died under a chunk of a plane in Mays finale, plus another death to come in this hour, that of Mark Sloan, who was lying in a hospital bed, on life support, presumably after his internal injuries from the finales plane crash got the best of him. And thats probably where we should start.

Because it would never be any other way on a show as sudsy as Greys, creator Shonda Rhimes decided to kill Mark Sloan -- also known lovingly as McSteamy, due to his shower-steam-and-towel introduction to Grey's in season 2 -- in an excruciating and melodramatic way. At the top of the hour, a deadline was set: 5 p.m. We viewers didnt know exactly what the deadline was for, but it wasnt hard to guess, especially after we learned that the life-supported and unresponsive Sloan had a directive in his living will, spelling out that if after 30 days, there were no signs of recovery, Richard Webber said, Mark wanted to be let go. And then he added: Thats all were doing. Honoring his wish.

The weird thing about it whole situation, of course, was the fact that we didnt know how Sloan got to this devastatingly injured point. So his internal injuries must have gotten worse from what we'd seen in the finale? But how exactly? What happened out there in the wilds after last Mays finale cut off? It must have been bad if a guy as strong as Sloan couldnt survive -- or his injuries must have been just that bad and we didn't know it.

NEXT: I keep thinking if I say something big enough or shocking enough hell open his eyes.

New Anatomy Lab at UCSF Prepares Next Generation of Clinicians – Video

25-09-2012 23:25 The days of carrying hefty, 1500-page Gray's Anatomy textbooks may be long gone, but not much more has changed over the decades in how medical students learn anatomy - until now. Students at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have just begun studies in a new, state-of-the-art anatomy learning center equipped with interactive iPad textbooks, giant video displays and roving cameras that will allow them to observe, discover, and come to understand, in a new way, the complex architecture of the human body.

Ellen Pompeo

When Grey's Anatomy returns for its ninth season (Thursday, 9/8c on ABC), the fates of the once Stranded Six Five will be revealed.

Grey's Anatomy's Shonda Rhimes talks Season 9: Time jumps, new locations and new docs!

The last we left them, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) watched their final match go out as Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Mark (Eric Dane) looked worse for wear. Did everyone survive? And did all the docs back home actually stay at Seattle Grace?

Considering executive producer Shonda Rhimes is calling this the season of romance, we can only hope we'll get some happiness this year. "I think it might be post-traumatic romance," co-star Jesse Williams says with a laugh. We'll take romance either way!

Grey's Anatomy Gallery: Where were we and what's next? Get the scoop here!

Still, the first two episodes the second of which will jump back in time to show how the docs were rescued will be quite dark. Get caught up with where we left off with the docs and get the scoop on what's next from Rhimes and the cast of the ABC medical drama in our extensive Grey's Anatomy gallery here. Suffice it to say, spoiler warning!

Grey's Anatomy returns Thursday at 9/8c on ABC.

Effects of Hypertension

Taylor James Hypertension Heart Takeda

Taylor James Hypertension Head Takeda

The global ad agency Corbett (CAHG) hired Taylor James, a New York and London based creative production studio, to execute the print campaign for Takeda’s newest hypertension drug. The series of images features a heart-shaped iceberg cracking, kidney-shaped forest being destroyed, and a hurricane in a head-shaped body of water to depict the effects of hypertension on the body. The images were created using a combination of stock photography and CG.

I really like the cracking iceberg heart out of all 3 images, it’s a nice concept, but on it’s own might read more emotionally than a disease-state—as in “cold-hearted.” The forest in the shape of an organ has been done before and I don’t think the hurricane image was executed very well. Being in pharmaceutical advertising myself, I always enjoy seeing anatomy incorporated into ad concepts…but I can’t resist critiquing them!

Are you up for the challenge of trying out these disgustingly delicious cocktails at this years Eat Your Heart Out cake shop at St. Bart’s Pathology Museum hapenning October 26–28, 2012 in London?  EYHO is put on by the lovely Miss Cakehead and the cocktails are being created by James Dance of Loading, a Falmouth based internet café and games arcade.

Commenting on the collaboration with Miss Cakehead James says:

“For Eat Your Heart Out the real challenge was to try and make some drink that worked with the anatomical nature of the event, focusing on bodily fluids being too limiting. Instead I took a crime scene body outline as inspiration and tried to cover every area of the body. Of course cocktails such as the ‘Stool Sample’ and ‘Urine’ were so obvious I could not resist including them. As with the cakes each drink will be disgusting to look they will all taste amazing, horror being in peoples minds and the connections they make.”

I really wish I could be in London to attend EYHO.  Anyone in or near London, go to this!  It sounds like it’s going to be quite a fun and unique experience.
