Amelia'southward past on Private Practice is finally starting to take hold of up to her present on ABC'southward Grey's Beefcake.
After joining the flagship ShondaRhimes medical drama in flavor 10 following a more-than-three-season run on spinoffIndividual Practice, CaterinaScorsone's Amelia Shepherd is starting to find out that she can't distance herself from her past.
Terminal week, Amelia was overjoyed when she thought she was pregnant — a idea that warmed the eye of new hubby Owen (Kevin McKidd), whose desire to have children has been no hush-hush on the ABC medical drama.
Instead, Amelia wasn't pregnant and that has brought her past correct back to the nowadays. For those who don't recall, Private Practice finally gave Amelia her happy moment after the former drug addict got meaning and gave birth to a baby with no brain that she dubbed her "Unicorn baby." She ended the Grey's spinoff engaged to James (Matt Long), and as Scorsone told THRin Jan 2013 afterward the Individual Practice series finale, "She was healed and ready to requite and receive love." In typical Shondaland fashion, that didn't final as she broke off her engagement to James before moving to Seattle.
This season on Grayness'south, she has told new hubby Owen about her history with substance abuse — just not about losing a baby. That may now go an issue for the happy couple, Scorsone tells THR. Read on for more than from Scorsone about why it took Grey's iii seasons for Amelia'south past to come up back to haunt her, as well as her hopes of seeing former Private Do star (and Greyness's Anatomy regular) Kate Walsh resurface in Shondaland.
Information technology's and then interesting how the past continues to inform the present on Grey's. How much more of Amelia's history from Private Practice will we see?
It'due south heady that they're starting to crack it open. When Amelia showtime came to Grayness Sloan Memorial, she was fleeing her by life — she had cleaved up with fiancée and was leaving that whole identity behind and nearly starting new hither. I idea we would go into the Private Practice stuff earlier but nosotros didn't because in that location was so much story to play with Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and the brother-sister dynamic, her condign principal of surgery and then Derek dying. At that place was so much to play that we didn't take to go here. She was and so busy and could pack it away and not deal with what she went through in Los Angeles.
Naturally now that Amelia is happy with Owen her past is finally starting to resurface …
At present that she has fallen in honey and got married and is in this wonderful aureate time in her life, here comes the rain (laughing). She'due south realizing that she tin't quite leave that by across. At present we're exploring a lot of that Private Practice story and I don't know how deep it will get. She told Owen a couple episodes ago about Ryan dying and that was the first time she told him virtually that. Postal service-pregnancy test, a lot of the emotion from her — the trauma she experienced in L.A. regarding her previous pregnancy and "Unicorn infant" — are coming to the fore. So here we go, we're near to start looking pretty deep into that stuff.
Has there been any talk of bringing in anyone from Private Practice to guest star as part of Amelia's journey? She was so shut with everyone there? Why isn't Kate Walsh coming dorsum? Rhimes told us she'd dear to see Kate back at some point…
I know! Y'all should call Kate and tell her to come, I would love it if she would come and do an arc — I bet she would. It would be fantastic if she came and visited for a while. Perchance she could do something with Arizona since they both exercise neo-natal surgery. We are virtually to do some of the Private Practice stuff, which is challenging stuff but nice for me to feel that integration between the 2 shows.
Amelia had a son on Private Practice, a "Unicorn baby" who was born without a brain. How is this informing how she responded when she idea she was pregnant?
She is as shocked at her reaction every bit anyone. She really was so excited, earnestly, to be a wife and a mother and this integrated, salubrious member of gild and she was very serious when she was telling Owen that she was in to having kids. She did want to re-create some of her family unit origin — she had this big bustling family and it was neat earlier her male parent was shot and everything got really sad. I call back at that place is a big role of her that wants to take that and re-create that. When she actually thought she was significant, I think the alluvion of emotions, fear and panic about the trauma that she suffered is equally much of a shock to her every bit anyone else. She doesn't even know what to do with it. Function of why she'southward distancing herself from Owen a bit is considering she's desperately trying to figure out how to put these feelings away and manage them and get back to the happy newlywed romance that they had just started. She really wants this and her trauma is hijacking her plans.
Gray's Beefcake airs Thursdays at 8 p.g. on ABC. What are y'all looking forward to seeing with Amelia? Would you like to see Walsh return to Gray's? Audio off in the comments section.
