Ask Ausiello: Scoop on Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, This Is Us,and More

Question: I need to know who that was in Randall’s kitchen in this week’s This Is Us!—Patricia
Ausiello: Crazy, right? Though I’ve been bound to secrecy, I can let this little tidbit slip: That scary moment from the midseason premiere pales in comparison to the shocking way a character we know and love reacts to something that happens in the next episode.

Question: Dean’s time in Hell has been referenced in a couple of Supernatural episodes, and Dean also seems to be holding on by a thread. Is all this building to something? Any chance we might see Alastair again? —Adder
Ausiello: “I don’t know that we’ll be seeing Alastair again. He was kind of locked away in The Empty,” showrunner Andrew Dabb tells us, before addressing the first part of your question. “Dean’s story and Sam’s story is the story of trauma, and so, going to Hell was an incredibly traumatic thing for Dean. I don’t think it was the most traumatic thing he’s gone through, and that’s saying a lot, when going to Hell is not the most traumatic thing you’ve gone through. But certainly, as the traumas pile up this season, it’s a way to kind of revisit some of those stories and some of those moments.”

Question: Any more information about the new Chicago Med doctor played by Jessy Schram, specifically who she will be interacting with most? —Laurel

Ausiello: In the wake of the recent “Manstead” tensions, “Will does start a new relationship,” executive producer Andrew Schneider reveals, but would not confirm or deny that the new lady in the doc’s life is Schram’s gynecological surgeon Dr. Hannah Asher. Meanwhile, “Natalie starts [to grow] a little closer to Crockett.” However, EP Diane Frolov notes that “there’s a lot of conflict” between the characters. Adds Schneider: “It’s a love/hate relationship.”


Question: Anything on Grey’s Anatomy‘s midseason premiere? Do I have to watch with Kleenex? —Lynn
Ausiello: If you’re asking me whether anyone dies, you know very well that I can’t say. But I can tell you that the Thursday, Jan. 23, episode of the ABC drama — airing in its new-old timeslot, 9/8c — includes a major turning point for one couple and a big decision that’s sure to haunt the doctor who makes it. Also, since you mentioned tissues, I’d feel bad if I didn’t warn you that there was a moment during Station 19’s Season 3 premiere (airing that same night at 8/7c) that left me misty-eyed. 

BONUS SCOOP: Kim Raver shared that she and Station 19‘s Jason George shot “a really lovely scene” in next week’s crossover “that reveals a bit more” about Teddy and Ben. Looking ahead, she added, an “unbelievable” upcoming standalone episode will divulge further things about Teddy “where even I was like, ‘Whoa!'”

Question: Who is the father of Amelia’s baby on Grey’s Anatomy: Owen or Link? —Cait
Ausiello: Despite Amelia’s stunned reaction to the conception timeline in the fall finale, which seemed to suggest the baby was Owen’s, showrunner Krista Vernoff assures us that neither the mom-to-be nor we know for sure yet. “It’s still a mystery.”+

Question: Can we hope for a good storyline for Station 19‘s Travis in Season 3, especially after he got arrested in the end of Season 2? —Pascaline
Ausiello: “Season 3 is going to get really complicated,” Jay Hayden says. “When Krista Vernoff brought me into her office, she was like, ‘I don’t feel like we explored enough of your backstory… why his relationships keep failing, and we need to carve our way into that.’ She basically said we’re going to handle the prison, and then we’re going to get into who Travis really is.” And what might that include? “There are more relationships that come up,” Hayden teases. “Maybe flashback ones, and maybe also new ones.”

Question: On Chicago Med, will Ethan find out about April and Marcel via a third party source or April? —Laurel
Ausiello: “April will finally confess,” EP Andrew Schneider confirms, without going into detail. In the meantime, the newly engaged couple is going to turn to IVF in their quest to have a baby.

Question: Any new intel on how Grey’s Anatomy will explain Alex’s absence? — Jenna

Ausiello: Justin Chambers’ MIA status is addressed in next week’s winter premiere… but not in a way that will bring closure to the matter. (BTW, check out our “dream/nightmare” Alex exit scenarios.)

Question: Not that I’m hoping for another tidal wave to hit, but can we expect more Buck/Christopher storylines on 9-1-1 this season? —JimAs a matter of fact, Oliver Stark says there’s a “really lovely sequence” at the end of this season’s 12th episode, which is “going to melt people’s hearts.” He acknowledges, “We’ve seen them struggle through so much darkness this season. This is a chance to see them just having fun. I can’t wait for people to see it.” You’ll have to be patient, though, because a premiere date for the second half of Season 3 has yet to be announced.
