The actor gushed over the current season, noting that the writers are “reinventing” the show to “keep the stories fresh.” She also teased an upcoming storyline for Amelia and a “big situation” coming up as Grey’s Anatomy nears its winter finale ahead of the midseason break.
“My character, in particular, has a very new storyline, and it’s pretty exciting. There are high stakes,” Scorsone said. “We’re actually headed toward the midseason finale, so we have two episodes left, and there’s a big situation that’s about to be unfolding.”
