There’s a new crop of doctors aiming to put our favorite
Grey’s Anatomy characters out of work. October 15 is the day the Seattle Grace and Mercy West hospital staffs merge in a tense episode titled “Invasion.” Word is Izzie and Lexie’s heads are on the chopping block—and if some of these new docs get their way, the beheadings will be quick and Mercy-less! “We’re not the most welcome faces at Seattle Grace,” says newcomer Robert Baker. But off set, these newbies say they’ve been welcomed with open arms, especially by Justin Chambers (Alex), who took them to lunch!
Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) “He’s a very confident, competitive, fearless leader and a bit of a cocky, hotshot surgeon,” says Jesse. “He’s cracking jokes left and right and going in there and taking no prisoners. So far, I’ve had a spat with Cristina and shared scenes with Owen, Lexie and Derek.”
Dr. Reed Adamson (Nora Zehetner) “She’s very feisty and comes on a bit strong at first,” says Nora, a longtime friend of Chyler Leigh (Lexie). “But she’s a good doctor who cares a lot about the patients, especially with the merger getting in the way of that. Everyone is in competition and worried about getting fired, so there’s a lot of fighting with Izzie, Alex and Cristina for the best surgeries.” As for a romance with Alex, Nora will only say, “Perhaps.”
Dr. Charles Percy (Robert Baker) “He’s a general surgeon who has a problem keeping his mouth shut,” says Robert, who has shot scenes with Bailey, Alex and Derek. “In my first episode, some complications arise between Charles and Izzie, causing some head-butting. And then some things happen that the fans will definitely want to see.” Hmmm…could these characters be sharing more than scalpels? “Izzie’s a married woman, but never say never.”
Dr. April Kepner (Sarah Drew) “April’s supereager, a little insecure, passive-aggressive and tries to undermine Lexie,” says Sarah, who has “really enjoyed playing a bitch.” But April also has a sensitive side. “You’ll see her writing some surprising things in her journal.”
