Speaker 1: Call It what It Is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Luddington,
Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey call It Crew, and welcome to another episode of
Speaker 2: Call It Short and Sweet.
Speaker 3: Jessica, what do we have today?
Speaker 1: Well, today on this shortened suite, we have some fan questions.
Speaker 1: A little Q and A.
Speaker 3: Love a Q and A.
Speaker 1: They have a little que, we have a little A.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it.
Speaker 1: So number one Rita has written in and she said,
Speaker 1: regarding grace, when you portray characters for such a long time,
Speaker 1: do you get any input when it comes to storylines
Speaker 1: for example, romances, pregnancies, career changes. Also, is the water
Speaker 1: hot or cold? That's really fun, I'm guessing in the
Speaker 1: showers that we take. Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, first of all, we'll just answer the shower
Speaker 2: question because it would be so many if it was cold.
Speaker 3: It's definitely warm water.
Speaker 1: Thank god, it's not exactly, but you answer correctly. It's warm,
Speaker 1: it's not hot. It's not like, oh, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: into a hot shower now I'm gonna get into this cozy,
Speaker 1: cozy shower. Also, there's people around you and the doors open,
Speaker 1: and you've got like some sort of intimacy something on you.
Speaker 1: You're covering your bits and bobs. So it's either you
Speaker 1: know your top, your top or your bottom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I covered my bits and bobs for a shower
Speaker 2: scene that you had to stand by. Do you remember,
Speaker 2: Joe like, Yes, I had a shower and she was like,
Speaker 2: and so I forget what I was even talking about,
Speaker 2: But I tell a little bit. Some Bobsy is around you,
Speaker 2: miss Arizona Robins because we're living together.
Speaker 3: Why why were we living together?
Speaker 1: Well, you really want to ask me that?
Speaker 3: Definitely not, definitely not okay.
Speaker 2: So when you portrayed characters for such a long time
Speaker 2: to get input on the storylines, yeah, we could to
Speaker 2: suggest stuff, We could to suggest you are you.
Speaker 1: She just ast? You just answered let's we are on call?
Speaker 1: At what it is. You are the best at constantly
Speaker 1: thinking about storylines for yourself, for others.
Speaker 3: You think about the game I do.
Speaker 1: In my situation, the romances were hard.
Speaker 3: No, you don't. You're not pitching your own romance on
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 1: No, you're definitely not. And I mean in my case,
Speaker 1: I was on the show for ten years, and you
Speaker 1: know it's it's the push pull. I mean, I remember
Speaker 1: as a viewer, you're watching and I completely championed Meridairr
Speaker 1: And I was like, Meredith and Derek together forever, Like absolutely,
Speaker 1: you cannot pull them apart. And at the same time,
Speaker 1: you can't just watch people be happy like you can't.
Speaker 1: That's boring. You can't just watch them be happy and
Speaker 1: happy and happy. And so even though as a viewer
Speaker 1: I was tortured by the things that came in between them,
Speaker 1: they were completely necessary. So I always knew that, and
Speaker 1: I felt in my on screen ship, which was Alazona,
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, great, they're happy and that's wonderful,
Speaker 1: and we want them to be together, and yes, that's right,
Speaker 1: and you champion that romance. And we need a little friction,
Speaker 1: we need a little obstacle, We need to.
Speaker 3: Throw in a little like well, they threw in a meteor.
Speaker 1: I mean so many though, God, I.
Speaker 3: Mean they threw in a wowser browser.
Speaker 1: But so many of those, so so many we had infidelity,
Speaker 1: we had oh, I mean who I remember.
Speaker 2: You know what's really funny is I remember Jessica getting
Speaker 2: the infidelity script, which is one of my favorite season
Speaker 2: finales because of that moment, which is just incredible. You
Speaker 2: guys all know what I'm talking about the rings on
Speaker 2: the pin to the scrubs, and I remember someone saying
Speaker 2: that Capshaw, You're gonna have to get off social.
Speaker 3: Media for a little bit.
Speaker 2: And she was like, yep, we knew that that meteor
Speaker 2: was gonna rock the fandom. Huge Gray's Anatomy fan is
Speaker 2: Jessica Capshaw's. Oh, I know, people ask this all the time.
Speaker 2: I know it is Jessica's daughter's name Josephine, because of
Speaker 2: Camilla's character Joe Wilson on the show. I'm so curious,
Speaker 2: And yes, it is right, Jessica, of.
Speaker 1: Course it is.
Speaker 3: I named her after you, not even me, just the character,
Speaker 3: because you.
Speaker 1: Love your alternate on television. No, we already know with
Speaker 1: my memory, I probably forgot that your name was Josephine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she didn't even know it was Josephine. You guys,
Speaker 3: she hadn't she. She's learning that right now. You're learning
Speaker 3: it right now in this Yeah, I thought.
Speaker 1: It was just Joe. I love the name Josephine. And
Speaker 1: you know what, we have three girls, so this was
Speaker 1: our third time at naming a baby girl. And I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you that's challenging because you really only usually
Speaker 1: have like you know, top one or two, and then
Speaker 1: we already had two. So we got to the long names,
Speaker 1: the list of beautiful long names, and she certainly can
Speaker 1: handle it. I love her name so much. Okay, next,
Speaker 1: now it's just a bonus by the way that it's
Speaker 1: your other names. I know. Okay. Marie wrote in and
Speaker 1: she said, how did both of your lives change or
Speaker 1: develop when you started becoming more famous? This isn't famous
Speaker 1: a funny word, because I don't even I'm like.
Speaker 3: Famous, I know, I don't. Yeah, I just feel like me.
Speaker 1: I think that.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: It just honestly, I try very I don't think of
Speaker 1: myself as such, and so when I'm out in the world,
Speaker 1: and you never know when you're gonna be around people
Speaker 1: who do or do not know you from whatever it
Speaker 1: is that you've done. So I just conduct my life
Speaker 1: and do my things the way that I would. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then if someone does come up and say something,
Speaker 1: I think that I try very hard to always just
Speaker 1: be really responsive to whatever someone's feeling or thinking or
Speaker 1: saying in that moment. And then i'm and then i'm
Speaker 1: I think I'm a little bit more aware of myself
Speaker 1: because I'm also usually with other people or my children,
Speaker 1: and I feel very lucky that, you know, most of
Speaker 1: the time, every you know, people are very respectful. I
Speaker 1: do always feel like when I'm with the kids, my kids,
Speaker 1: I feel a little like, yeah, tug, because I'm sort
Speaker 1: of like, well, my job is to be watching you
Speaker 1: and someone's you know, talking to me, and my attentions there.
Speaker 1: So it's just a little bit of a push pull there.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that. I don't feel like I
Speaker 1: had a moment where I was like, oh, my life
Speaker 1: is different, because it's funny.
Speaker 2: I was just talking about this with Matt because I
Speaker 2: feel more antisocial actually since the show.
Speaker 3: It's just such a big show. When I meet new people,
Speaker 3: it takes me.
Speaker 2: Way longer to let them in too, like in a circle,
Speaker 2: or me feel vulnerable enough to be able to tell
Speaker 2: them things. So that's the way it's changed. Which kind
Speaker 2: of does I'm gonna say it kind of does suck.
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe it's a good thing too, I would say,
Speaker 2: and I'm a little more antisocial. Question before, what's your
Speaker 2: all time favorite moment from Grey's Anatomy as a viewer,
Speaker 2: as a fan or working on the show.
Speaker 1: Okay, as a fan early days because this is when
Speaker 1: I watched it again, like the minute that it started
Speaker 1: on in real life, Yeah, there was no I say
Speaker 1: it all the time, there's no more genius storytelling, perfectly
Speaker 1: executed acted environment. Everything was perfect in that moment in
Speaker 1: the pilot.
Speaker 3: Oh no, never mind, but yeah in the pilot.
Speaker 1: In the pilot when she goes to work and who
Speaker 1: is there but the boy that she kicked out from
Speaker 1: the morning before or the morning that morning. So that
Speaker 1: moment where she goes to work and she's just that's
Speaker 1: the boy that she's you know, had a nice little
Speaker 1: romp with from the bar and she walks into work
Speaker 1: and there he is, and you're like, oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: just sets everything up so perfectly. And then I think
Speaker 1: the other like, oh, oh moment would have been I
Speaker 1: don't even know what episode it was, but when Addison
Speaker 1: comes back, that's why she's sleeping with my husband or whatever, say.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she says, oh, you're the woman that's Susan
Speaker 2: sleeping with my husband or something, and you're like, we've
Speaker 2: butchered that line. It's something completely different. But that that
Speaker 2: was the moment for me because you thought that they
Speaker 2: were happy, and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, oh, the show is crazy. Anything could happened that. Yes, yep, we'll.
Speaker 1: Say that this is an anonymous right in. What was
Speaker 1: it like for Camilla when it was announced that Jess
Speaker 1: was leaving Gray's Anatomy And how did it affect both
Speaker 1: of you?
Speaker 2: It was very shocked and I there are pictures of
Speaker 2: me in the table read actually that gets circulated all
Speaker 2: the time, and I'm just sobbing.
Speaker 3: I was really sad. It was really hard. It was
Speaker 3: all about me, right.
Speaker 2: Jess, right, totally, No, it was really no, it was
Speaker 2: There's no way to sugarcoat it.
Speaker 3: It was really hard. I was.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I knew that my very very closest friend on the
Speaker 2: show is leaving. And if you have a work friend
Speaker 2: like that, you know what that's like. Your buddy's gone,
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to lose my buddy?
Speaker 3: Is the truth?
Speaker 2: Carolina Rhodes and she asks the question I've never been
Speaker 2: asked before. What bands do you think would be Arizona
Speaker 2: Robins and Joe Wilson's favorites.
Speaker 1: I think that Arizona Robbins was probably like a big
Speaker 1: ho Princess listeners Yes songs. I feel like I was
Speaker 1: listening to yes or Arizona was listening to a lot
Speaker 1: of like pop music. Like, you know, I think she
Speaker 1: probably was like in sync, yes, totally like I think
Speaker 1: she was definitely roller skating around that kind of shit.
Speaker 2: I think Joe was like a little more teen Angst,
Speaker 2: a little Navana perhaps, oh, a little for sure Nirvana.
Speaker 2: And I think eventually, you know, I think there's some
Speaker 2: Alanis Moore set. I know she's not a band, but
Speaker 2: I think we've got to throw Alanis out there. Maybe
Speaker 2: Ashley Simpson's debut album on Discovery.
Speaker 3: I love that album.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, great album.
Speaker 2: It's a great album. Actually, we need more music. Joe
Speaker 2: Wilson needs more music. I know it not a band,
Speaker 2: although she was part of it. It was kind of
Speaker 2: a band. Yeah, I'm gonna go with those.
Speaker 1: Great Okay, So Summer has written in and she said
Speaker 1: how long is a normal day on set? And how
Speaker 1: much work is involved in making just one episode of
Speaker 1: Gray's Anatomy?
Speaker 3: A lot of work is involved.
Speaker 2: Well, the first part of the question is is how
Speaker 2: long is a normal down set? Now after COVID, we
Speaker 2: try not to go more than twelve hours, but we
Speaker 2: have pushed to seventeen or we've pulled some seventeens in
Speaker 2: our time.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, seventeen is hard.
Speaker 3: Seventeen is hard. It's rare.
Speaker 2: I would say the days that we do surgery tend
Speaker 2: to be longer days because surgery it's just harder to film,
Speaker 2: and we get a little giddy, we get.
Speaker 1: A little Yeah, there's more shots, there's more people, it's
Speaker 1: more technical. You can't approximate. You need to get it right, yeah,
Speaker 1: at the different angles. So yeah, the surgery scenes are
Speaker 1: a lot, but there's kind of I mean in a
Speaker 1: weird way. There's no normal on that. I mean, you
Speaker 1: sort of know what to expect. But I remember one
Speaker 1: of the biggest challenges was I never made if I
Speaker 1: was working that day, whether they said I was in
Speaker 1: one scene or five. I didn't make any other plans
Speaker 1: that couldn't be changed quickly because sometimes the set's not ready,
Speaker 1: or sometimes someone called in sick, or sometimes there's you know,
Speaker 1: something going on or I don't know. So you have
Speaker 1: to easily be able to shift your uptation what the
Speaker 1: day is, which is a little bit like being on
Speaker 1: call like a real doctor.
Speaker 3: It is true.
Speaker 1: And then I think that.
Speaker 3: The work is involved.
Speaker 2: You guys, I mean, you see us from our perspective,
Speaker 2: we're just doing shooting days. But from everyone else's perspective,
Speaker 2: we have writers working on episodes months before. In fact,
Speaker 2: they're in the writer's room right now writing for next season.
Speaker 3: Then we have pre production.
Speaker 2: They have meetings for hair and make up, set design,
Speaker 2: all the things they have to the direct talks to
Speaker 2: an episode casting. So I would say weeks, weeks and
Speaker 2: weeks of of work is involved, if not sometimes months,
Speaker 2: you know, work is involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then and then what ends up happening is
Speaker 1: that for the actual episode, they will have a start
Speaker 1: day and and work finished day. So typically those run
Speaker 1: anywhere from eight to ten days, usually ten, and they'll
Speaker 1: start the episode and then finish on let's say the
Speaker 1: tenth day. But then they'll also do this thing where
Speaker 1: they might be a little too darknical, but they'll double up, well,
Speaker 1: their start another episode before that episode's done, and so
Speaker 1: they'll have two crews working on two different episodes at
Speaker 1: the at the beginning and or end of an episode.
Speaker 1: But which is kind of a lot. A lot of
Speaker 1: work is involved, a lot.
Speaker 2: Of work, But I think that fans might find it
Speaker 2: fun to know that, like we do have these double
Speaker 2: up episodes.
Speaker 3: Sometimes there's even two.
Speaker 2: At the end of the of a two as the
Speaker 2: episode begins, it overlaps by two days. And so what
Speaker 2: that means is is sometimes you're say in a relationship,
Speaker 2: and you're playing like being broken up and then back together,
Speaker 2: for example, on the same days you're going from because
Speaker 2: once you switch over episodes and start filming another episode
Speaker 2: on that day, you might have to flip back. So
Speaker 2: you're going back and forth between story and you've got
Speaker 2: to kind of hold all the emotions on your head.
Speaker 2: And it's a challenge, but it's it can be and
Speaker 2: it's a lot of work for everybody involved, but it
Speaker 2: can be really fun.
Speaker 1: Safia wrote in and she said, can you talk about
Speaker 1: both of your first episodes of Grey's Anatomy and about
Speaker 1: meeting the cast members for the first time.
Speaker 3: I was so nervous to meet Schandra Wilson.
Speaker 1: Of anybody, was she the first person you worked with?
Speaker 2: No, Ellen was the first person I worked with. And
Speaker 2: that was terrifying because I had been given a monologue,
Speaker 2: a medical monologue the night before at eight pm. They
Speaker 2: would not give me the script until all my ideal
Speaker 2: was done, and it was just me spewing all this
Speaker 2: medical spiel to Ellen while she had to listen as Meredith,
Speaker 2: and she was Medusa in this episode, so she was.
Speaker 3: Kind of being mean.
Speaker 2: And I just remember being absolutely terrified, saying um a lot.
Speaker 2: My feedback was like, you're saying um a lot because
Speaker 2: I it was just a mouthful and I was so
Speaker 2: overwhelmed and I was very intimidated and uh, but I was.
Speaker 2: I was most scared to me Shandra, because I felt like,
Speaker 2: this is Bailey, and Chandra, if you meet her, is
Speaker 2: the complete opposite of Bailey. Yep, wonder kind is nicest, Yeah, wonderful,
Speaker 2: thank god.
Speaker 1: When you first came in, were you a guest or
Speaker 1: did you?
Speaker 2: I came in knowing I was. I was technically a
Speaker 2: guest star. I came in knowing that I was recurring
Speaker 2: through this and there was an option to.
Speaker 3: Make me a series regular at the end, right right.
Speaker 1: A little dating before marriage.
Speaker 3: A little dating dating the job before we got married.
Speaker 1: Yes, were you just yours?
Speaker 3: Was different?
Speaker 1: Though I came in as a guest star. I came
Speaker 1: in as a guest star, although after having auditioned for
Speaker 1: the show twice, which before that, Yeah, and I came
Speaker 1: in first as possibly Nurse Rose. I auditioned for the
Speaker 1: part of Nurse Rose who was with Derek, which like
Speaker 1: dodged double aut there because while she was fantastic and
Speaker 1: that part was lovely, who wants to come in between
Speaker 1: Meredith and Derek never not a good idea? Terrifying sounds
Speaker 1: like a very, very not winning proposition. So as much
Speaker 1: as I wanted just to be a part of anything
Speaker 1: that had to do with Graze anatomy Hugh and then
Speaker 1: I came in maybe a year later because they were casting,
Speaker 1: I think they gave me like dummy sides. It wasn't
Speaker 1: even written for the character. Yeah, for a part that
Speaker 1: Melissa George got playing one of Meredith's best friends from
Speaker 1: like medical school who came in was kind of like
Speaker 1: a wild child, and she actually was a series regular.
Speaker 1: I believe she was there for that season. And then
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I don't remember what ended up
Speaker 1: happening to her character. But then the third time that
Speaker 1: there was an opportunity, I actually didn't go in an audition.
Speaker 1: They just had had my two auditions and known who
Speaker 1: I was and knew very much that I wanted to
Speaker 1: be a part of the show, and so they called
Speaker 1: and they just offered me a guest star part for
Speaker 1: three episodes that was connected to a medical show. And
Speaker 1: I remember just, I mean truly being unbelievably. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe my luck. And it also would come at a
Speaker 1: time in my life where I really hadn't worked in
Speaker 1: a while, and I think I was a little scared financially, emotionally,
Speaker 1: all of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk about this.
Speaker 2: If you haven't listened to our many more episode, go
Speaker 2: listen to it too after this, because Jessica talks in
Speaker 2: detail about that feeling before.
Speaker 1: She's really really scared and I had a little baby
Speaker 1: and all that. So I got my I got offered,
Speaker 1: and I said yes, of course. And then I remember
Speaker 1: who was going to visit my sister who was in college,
Speaker 1: and I was going for the week, and I got
Speaker 1: sent email the script and I remember just like looking
Speaker 1: at it immediately like what's my name? And I saw
Speaker 1: Arizona Robbins, which of course I don't know any Still
Speaker 1: to this day, I don't know anyone named or Arizona.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there are any baby Arizona's out there.
Speaker 3: Now, oh, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now I want to know if you have a baby
Speaker 1: named Arizona. I want to know about it. So I
Speaker 1: saw her name and I thought that's pretty cool. I mean,
Speaker 1: it seemed very unique and original. And then you get
Speaker 1: the script the night before the tape read and I
Speaker 1: remember coming to Prospect Studios being so nervous, like so
Speaker 1: much like my somatic response to nerves is instant armpit sweat,
Speaker 1: so sweaty, like just like I mean, not smelly, but
Speaker 1: just like absolute like what, it's crazy?
Speaker 3: What yah?
Speaker 1: And I get there and I walked in on the
Speaker 1: side that Ellen was sitting on and there was an
Speaker 1: open chair and so I just sat there. I'd like
Speaker 1: met her at parties and passing, and she was like
Speaker 1: hi and welcome, and I was like, oh, it's just
Speaker 1: so nice to meet you. And I had read through
Speaker 1: the script of course before the read through, and I
Speaker 1: had noticed that there were all these typos, and I
Speaker 1: was like, do I say something like I'm brand new,
Speaker 1: I don't really feel like I should be pointing out
Speaker 1: that there's typos, but at the same time, like there
Speaker 1: were a lot of them in my speeches, So I
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do. And so I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, she said hi, like she's o or for
Speaker 1: talking to me. So I was like, oh my, can
Speaker 1: I just ask you a really quick question? She said, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, What do I do about these typos? And
Speaker 1: she goes, oh, show me, and so I show her.
Speaker 1: And as you know on our show that they haven't
Speaker 1: always completely researched every single aspect, and sometimes they leave
Speaker 1: out like technical terms for things because they're going to
Speaker 1: insert them later. And when they haven't yet figured it out,
Speaker 1: they just write the word medical medical. So in the
Speaker 1: middle of your speech, it'll say, like, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I have API medical medical, medical, medical, And I was like,
Speaker 1: it just says medical a lot. And she looked at
Speaker 1: me and was like, it's okay, just say medical. And
Speaker 1: I nodded and like like I understood what that meant.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I have no idea what she
Speaker 1: means by that, and I didn't come to learn ituntil
Speaker 1: much later. But I then sat down, I did my
Speaker 1: table read, I went to my costume fitting. That was
Speaker 1: when all the shoes were lined up, and the costume
Speaker 1: designer looked at me and said, you know, what do
Speaker 1: you think? And my character worked in Peedes and so
Speaker 1: she pulled out all these different things that she had
Speaker 1: that might, you know, seem a little bit childlike, and
Speaker 1: I took them all. I was like, my badge had
Speaker 1: a lanyard on it that was like candy crush colored,
Speaker 1: and they were all these patches and I was like,
Speaker 1: I think put the monkey above my name a lab.
Speaker 2: So iconic now too, even I like when I think
Speaker 2: of your lab code, I think of that, I know,
Speaker 2: the little.
Speaker 1: Monkey and then uh. And then the shoes were laid
Speaker 1: out and I and I was like, which ones are
Speaker 1: what are those? And she said those are the ones
Speaker 1: with the wheels on them. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I have to wear those. Those are absolutely what I
Speaker 1: have to wear. And so I took them home because
Speaker 1: she said do you know how to use them? And
Speaker 1: I said, of course I do. However, I'll probably need
Speaker 1: to practice a little bit. And I didn't think I
Speaker 1: was going to work for a couple of days, and
Speaker 1: they called me that night and said you work tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And I looked at Christopher and was like, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna learn how. I'm gonna need to learn how to you.
Speaker 1: So he held my hands. I like, God, I've pulled
Speaker 1: me along, because when you don't have it, your balance
Speaker 1: is so off. And then I remember practicing around. I
Speaker 1: had a kitchen island and I would just hold the
Speaker 1: side and like inch a long to learn how to
Speaker 1: do it. And that was and then and then the
Speaker 1: so you kind of meet everyone at the table read
Speaker 1: but not really. And then I went to work the
Speaker 1: next day and I worked with Chandra and Justin and
Speaker 1: everybody was so nice. They couldn't have been nicer. And
Speaker 1: I could not stop talking.
Speaker 2: Okay in that scene? Did you have to wheel into
Speaker 2: this scene? Did you wheel in the scene?
Speaker 1: Okay? So I have this whole thing where I'm talking
Speaker 1: to Bailey and I'm giving her the what's what because
Speaker 1: I know things even though I'm like this young doctor
Speaker 1: who's not she's not used to I'm like telling her
Speaker 1: what's you know, what's what with this case? And then
Speaker 1: it was my idea to wheel out like and take that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go off of my my roller skates. And
Speaker 1: I knew how to do that, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: how to stop. So I could start and I could
Speaker 1: I could roll, but I couldn't stop. So Jeff, who's
Speaker 1: in props, definitely not the department that catches actresses when
Speaker 1: they're on Runaway Wheels, looks at me and he's like,
Speaker 1: do you need to help?
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, what do you need? And I
Speaker 1: was like, I need you to catch me. But I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna wheel and then.
Speaker 3: I just to catch me.
Speaker 1: I don't need to just stop me. I don't need
Speaker 1: a net or an umbrella or a hook or I
Speaker 1: don't know what, but you gotta stop me. And he
Speaker 1: was like okay, and so he caught me, and and yeah,
Speaker 1: that was That was like my first episode and it
Speaker 1: was just I remember it being pure fucking magic. It
Speaker 1: was so much fun. And all I wanted was more
Speaker 1: and more and more, Give me more lines, give me
Speaker 1: more storyline. I was done. Is this called Gray's Anatomy
Speaker 1: or Robin's Anatomy? Let's go wait?
Speaker 3: Hang on, I have I have my own fan question.
Speaker 2: When did you know that Arizona was gonna be with I?
Speaker 1: So I didn't know. I mean, obviously, the key to
Speaker 1: staying on Grey's Anatomy is having a love interest, and
Speaker 1: I was on a three episode arc that was all medical,
Speaker 1: like I didn't besides having this sort of like contentious
Speaker 1: relationship that you know, resolved itself with Bailey I had.
Speaker 1: I worked with Justin and he was always like, very
Speaker 1: friendly and kind and and Katie Heigel was definitely making
Speaker 1: her exit. On some level, I think I knew that
Speaker 1: a little bit in the back of my head. But again,
Speaker 1: three episodes, like, you're not there for that long? I didn't,
Speaker 1: I didn't know, and I was like, I mean, I
Speaker 1: hope I stay longer. I hope they keep me here
Speaker 1: for longer. Yeah, but my episodes are about art. They're
Speaker 1: running out, and I remember there being a table read
Speaker 1: where it was like, oh, something BIG's gonna happen, and
Speaker 1: that This is where my memory gets foggy. I can't
Speaker 1: remember if I if it was a I wonder if
Speaker 1: we can check this. I don't know if we kiss
Speaker 1: in the third episode that I was on, or if
Speaker 1: they kept me on to then have the kiss in
Speaker 1: the fourth episode. But basically, i'd been there for three episodes.
Speaker 1: I knew that if I wanted to stay, I needed
Speaker 1: to for sure have some sort of romantic something happened
Speaker 1: with someone I was down to party.
Speaker 2: Did you know going in that Arizona and Cali would
Speaker 2: have a thing, even in like your three episode arc.
Speaker 1: No, no, because we didn't even work together. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I remember her from the table read the
Speaker 1: way that I mean, I met everybody, but there was
Speaker 1: no you know.
Speaker 3: There were no scenes together, none.
Speaker 1: No, no, no. I was only yes and I was only
Speaker 1: my character was only with Chandra and Justin and then
Speaker 1: the guest stars, and I was having so much fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just like I couldn't have been happier,
Speaker 1: so so so happy. And I do remember thinking this
Speaker 1: is working well, but I'm gonna go because I've got
Speaker 1: this medical and then my medical case will be over
Speaker 1: and then I'll be out. But I do remember there
Speaker 1: was something I don't know. It definitely was indescribable, and
Speaker 1: it was definitely it defied like explanation, but there was
Speaker 1: about my being there that felt like I was going
Speaker 1: to be there for more, but you didn't know how
Speaker 1: or why. And then they asked me to stay for
Speaker 1: a fourth episode, and then I and again, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't stay on the show unless you're romantically involved
Speaker 1: with someone. This is I didn't expect it to come
Speaker 1: so soon. And then we get there for a table
Speaker 1: read for this fourth episode. I'm in and reading, reading,
Speaker 1: reading and we get to the scene where Callie's character
Speaker 1: is like going through all this stuff and she's at
Speaker 1: Joe's bar, and she goes into the bathroom and Arizona,
Speaker 1: who you've seen in the past three episodes, is standing
Speaker 1: there and she has the seemingly out of nowhere connection
Speaker 1: with her where she says, you know, Chris Kelly's crying
Speaker 1: in the bathroom, and she says, you know, something to
Speaker 1: the to the effect of like, I know that you
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are talking about you, but
Speaker 1: you should know that the talk is.
Speaker 3: Good, and then she kisses her.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know this scene, this scenems very iconic,
Speaker 2: and I can't I know, because you're kind of talking
Speaker 2: about like, you know, you wouldn't have known where you
Speaker 2: were gonna go necessarily with the romance on the show,
Speaker 2: those two characters together, I can't. It's hard to picture,
Speaker 2: especially in those days, you guys being with other people,
Speaker 2: and I know that there there I know, being other people,
Speaker 2: but at that stage it was like a done deal.
Speaker 2: I feel like that kiss just was like and you're saying, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so crazy and you can't predict those things.
Speaker 3: You can't predict that kind of chemistry.
Speaker 1: No, No, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it just sort of it just it just worked.
Speaker 1: I mean again, you can't. You can't explain it there.
Speaker 1: I mean that's why people say it's like there is
Speaker 1: a certain magic to this business where you put you know,
Speaker 1: different actors together or different characters or different circumstances and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay. And I was really confused about
Speaker 1: Calzonic because the whole like shipping of names was started
Speaker 1: with starting and I was like, isn't the cal Zone
Speaker 1: like I folded up pizza. I'm so confused, Like that's
Speaker 1: going to be our ship.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what shipping was, by the way, until
Speaker 2: the Gray's Anatomy, until I was didn't.
Speaker 3: Start with that?
Speaker 1: Did Grays start the shipping?
Speaker 2: That's you know what, We're going to throw that back
Speaker 2: out to them.
Speaker 3: They will know where that started.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that was fun. I love the Q
Speaker 1: and A's. They make you remember things that you don't
Speaker 1: think about very often because it's all common to me. Oh,
Speaker 1: come in. My other gift is I don't remember lyrics.
Speaker 1: I can remember lamber anything.
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, let's call it I'm like, do you are
Speaker 2: like Dory?
Speaker 3: You are like Dory.
