In the last episodes, fans of Grey's anatomy were able to discover the character of Jo, anguished by the departure of her husband, Alex Karev, left to watch over his sick mother.
Reality ultimately has nothing to do with the scenario. Indeed, the actor announced last Friday that he was leaving the series after 15 years of good and loyal service:
"There's no good time to say goodbye to a show and a character that has determined so much in my life over the past fifteen years." Indeed, he wants to diversify his roles and devote himself more to his family and friends.
It was in the 350th episode of the television show, aired on November 14 on ABC, that the actor made his last appearance. An eventful episode, where many characters showed their support for Meredith during her trial before the Council of the Order of Physicians. She finds herself forced to face her past and the support of her friend (pediatric surgeon at Grey Sloan) is indispensable.
Alex, the best friend. Alex the husband. Alex the pediatric surgeon… will therefore no longer be. A real lack of respect according to some fans on Twitter, who regret not having been prepared for the news and are afraid that their favorite character does not have the right to a real end:
The question is: what will the writers invent to compensate for the actor's hasty departure? Showrunner Krista Vernoff said:
"We had to weave the plot very delicately and gradually give the information and the pain that goes with it to Jo", "Episode by episode, we clarify Alex's situation. And it will take us a few more episodes to get there and give all the keys to the public."
See you in a few weeks!
