How does the season finale set up a possible departure for Stephanie?
It doesn't, that's what's interesting. The finale shines the light on some other storylines, leaving Stephanie's emotional journey unresolved. There is a world where Stephanie still has a lot of things to process next season so it's not about setting up a departure by any means. We have a lot of other questions on the table before Stephanie and Kyle became a thing and our finale deals with those.
What can you say about the final scene of season 12? Is it a cliffhanger? Is it emotional? Happy?
The final scene of the season has that classic Grey's where we are at an event that's classic Grey's, dealing with some emotions that are classic Grey's and the then a twist is thrown in to set things up for next season in classic Grey's fashion.
Should Toast go to series, have you talked about a scheduling idea to keep you in both worlds?
My perfect scenario that I've imagined — and we haven't talked about it yet since we don't know if Toast is going — but multicamera comedies are on a completely different schedule than dramas and you have a bit more time. I'm a person who likes to work hard, creativity and to be able to live in two completely different worlds and flex two sets of completely different muscles. That sounds like a dream to me, even though it's a very tiring dream and I'd be exhausted at the end of the season, I'm eager to try.
You're reuniting with Tessa Ferrer on Toast. What has that been like? Have you guys talked about what her Grey's character, Leah, would be doing now?
According to the fans, Stephanie and Leah live together and are possibly dating. I'm down for that and I love that idea! I will allow that to be be canon! (Laughing.) I'm so deeply into that idea!
