During the party for 200th episode of Grey's Anatomy (the episode will air on October 10th), Shonda Rhimes talked to TVGuide and revealed that there will be a wedding this season, but don't expect her to spill on who will be getting married and/or when during season 10.
"I've been planning one, so I think we're going to see one, yes. I'm not going to say a word, but we've been making plans for that kind of thing."
There can be a few possibilities of who can be getting married, so let's take a closer look at the couples.
April/Matthew: They got engaged towards the end of season 9 and with April talking about her wedding in episode 7 of season 10, it's highly possible that she could go through with it despite her telling Jackson that she wants to be with him during the season 9 finale.
Richard/Catherine: After Richard's close call with death, he could realize that life is too short and propose to Catherine.
Callie/Arizona: While they had a wedding ceremony, same-sex marriage wasn't legal in Washington State (where the show takes place) and since it's now legal there, they could have a legal wedding after they get help with their issues and reconcile.
Alex/Jo: A new couple, but it's been suggested that Jo is Alex's person, so that's why I've added them to the list.
Now for my guesses on who it definitely won't be and who I think it will be.
Couple that will NOT get married: April/Matthew. I just have this feeling that April will back out of the engagement because she still wants to be with Jackson. Will Jackson reciprocate the feeling, though?
Couple that will GET married: I know it's not looking good for them at the moment, but I'm going to say that Callie and Arizona will have a legal wedding during the season 10 finale.
Runner-up couple that COULD GET married: If I'm wrong about Callie/Arizona, I think the next possibility will be Alex and Jo. Like it's was previously mentioned, Jo is Alex's person, so I could see them getting married.
On Wednesday, Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy) posted a pic to her Twitter account and needless to say, she deleted the pic soon after because it contained a very big spoiler.
View the pic below if you don't mind being spoiled:
Why is the pic considered a spoiler? Well, for anyone who doesn't remember, the exact fate of Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) is unknown because the last we saw of him during the season 9 finale was him unconscious after being electrocuted and all Shonda has said is that we will see him again, but she's not giving anything away as to whether he survived or died. The pic obviously lets us know that he'll back, but in what way? Did he survive? Did he die and the only way we'll see him is in flashbacks? I guess we'll have to wait until September 26th to find out for sure, so be sure to tune in!
Until then, be sure to pre-order or pick up season 9 of Grey's Anatomy that will be released on DVD on August 27th!
WARNING: This post will contain spoilers from the season 9 finale of Grey's Anatomy in regards to Calzona (Callie and Arizona). If you have not seen the season finale and you don't want to be spoiled in any way, then stop reading now.
Last chance...do not continue reading because you will be spoiled.
I don't know about you other Calzona fans out there, but I'm still recovering from last night's season 9 finale of Grey's Anatomy.
First, it's clear that Arizona and Lauren did go further than just a kiss since it showed Lauren in bed under covers and Arizona getting dressed.
Second, Callie figured out that Arizona had cheated (I really thought that Arizona was going to confess). How did she figure it out? She noticed that Arizona's wedding ring was pinned to the scrub top that Lauren was wearing. Apparently, in the aftermath of the two sleeping together, they got their scrub tops mixed up! Before Callie came upon them and figured out what had happened, it appeared to me that Arizona was regretting what she did and was trying to tell Lauren which is when Lauren said that she likes her "a lot."
Third, we found during the confrontation between the two that Arizona still blames Callie for the loss of her leg and has a lot of anger. Clearly, she has issues that she needs to work on, by herself and as a couple with Callie if they want to stay together.
She tells Callie that she doesn't understand what it was like in those woods hearing Meredith cry, Mark dying and her screaming. She continued saying that she trusted Callie more than anyone and Callie broke that trust when she let them cut off her leg despite her promise that she wouldn't. Callie fired back that she made the decision in order to save her life, but Arizona was having none of that and yelled that she [Callie] didn't lose anything, but she did [her leg]. Callie looks at Arizona and delivers the most heartbreaking line of their scene... "Apparently I lost you." The camera pans out to show them just looking at one another, so it's not clear what is to become of them.
Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw, once again, hit it out of the ballpark with their acting and I've added a clip from YouTube below because the above explanation doesn't do the scene justice, so just watch it for yourself.
The big question is can Callie and Arizona work through their problems or is this something they just can't come back from? I sure like to think so because I'm a huge Calzona shipper and believe they are endgame/MFEO. It really comes down to whether Shonda (who once tweeted that they were MFEO) wants to them to be together or separate for good.
Thanks to the Callie-Arizona LiveJournal Website, I just read about an interview that Shonda Rhimes did with Entertainment Weekly after the season finale aired. After reading the interview, it gives me hope that perhaps Calzona will be okay in the long run.
"I wanted to give them a rift and a real problem that wasn’t just about something small. I wanted it to be complex and three-dimensional and I loved having this thing at the beginning of the season — Callie made a decision that saved Arizona’s life — and you get to the end of the season and clearly Arizona has been blaming her for this entire time. Really, that’s what sort of sparked all this behavior."
"As far as I’m concerned, obviously, Arizona hasn’t gotten over the trauma of what’s happened to her [and] not just because she’s blaming Callie. That’s sort of the symptom of the problem. But Arizona lost a leg, she went through a terrible plane crash, and was lost in the woods. While we watched her be angry for a while, you know Meredith and Christina have been through more PTSD than anyone in the world and we’ve watched them learn how to deal with it — I don’t think Arizona has learned how to deal with it."
The above two paragraphs give me some hope because Shonda doesn't mention anything about a break up for the couple, but a rift/real problem that they will have to see if they can and want to resolve. Arizona obviously needs to work on herself first, so I do see them separated for a while until and if they decide to work on their relationship because they still love each other and want to work things out. Because of that, Shonda wasn't joking when she confirmed that the couple will have an intense storyline next season.
I think that's enough babbling for now! In a future post, I'm sure I'll write more about Calzona and the season finale because I'm sure more things will come to my mind which is why "Pt. 1" in the title of this post. I'll also write about what I think we'll see in season 10 between the couple and if I think we'll see Lauren again. Stay tuned!
Warning: As I always do before talking about possible upcoming spoilers for Grey's Anatomy, I'm going to warn anyone that doesn't want to be possibly spoiled about Calzona and the season 9 finale, then do not continue reading. For everyone else, continue...
After what I just read over at TVLine.com, I'm definitely nervous about what Shonda Rhimes has in store for Calzona!
"We're equal opportunity over here at Grey’s Anatomy. Straight people have their cheating moments all of the time. We’ve created this relationship that’s very interesting and complex, and I feel like we're at a moment where this [temptation] feels earned. We're doing something that feels very in keeping with what’s right for these characters."
"There was a [Calzona] scene that was such a breathtaking moment that it stunned everyone into silence. It's the culmination of a [season-long] journey for these two characters."
I know I've mentioned it before, but Shonda did say on Twitter that she will be good to Callie and Arizona after she had announced on March 27th that everything regarding the season 9 finale had been changed. Despite that, I'm still nervous because Shonda could've just been saying that in order to get us [Calzona fans] to let our guard down. I hope that's not the case and I'll provide a couple examples below that will hopefully make us all feel better about Calzona and the season finale.
The Calzona scene that apparently "stunned" the cast into a moment of silence at the table read for the season 9 finale. The scene in question didn't have to be something really bad (cheating?) in order to stun the cast. In fact, it could've been something really good such as another baby or something else that wasn't expected. *fingers crossed that it's something good*
There is the possibility that I and others are simply reading too much into the idea of Arizona cheating which is exactly what Shonda and the others at Grey's Anatomy want. Yes, temptation could be there, but no actual cheating. There are some clues from Shonda's words...Regarding the scene that "stunned" the cast members, "It's the culmination of a [season-long] journey for these two characters." Why would their journey this season with everything they've been through end with one of them cheating on the other? It makes no sense which is why Shonda could just be working all us Calzona fans into a frenzy and we're falling for it.
That's me trying to be positive about Calzona and the season 9 finale. If the worse (cheating) does happen, then you can expect a post about it and it won't be pretty.
On March 27th, Shonda Rhimes took to her Twitter to tell fans of Grey's Anatomy to forget everything we may have heard or anything she has said about the season 9 finale because it "no longer stands."
In answer to yourQs: any spoilers you read about GA finale or anything I said before NO LONGER STANDS.We changed everything yesterday.

Before that tweet, she tweeted that she had an "intense discussion" with the writers in regards to the season finale and that their discussion resulted in some "very bold" decisions.
Had very intense discussions yesterday with writers about the Grey's season finale.We made some very bold shocking decisions.Wow.

Of course, with me being a huge Calzona fan, I immediately began worrying about the couple because with Callie almost dying in a car accident in season 7 and Arizona losing a leg after surviving a plane crash in the season 8 finale, I was anticipating the worse. However, I was able to breath a sigh of relief because in one of her tweets to another fan, she said she would be good to the both of them. :)
@hofmeisterjs I will be good to Callie.And I will be good to Arizona.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) March 27, 2013
However, when a fan tweeted if she could say anything about MerDer, she said she couldn't say anything.
@katiekellygsm I can't tell you anything at all.But hopefully you'll be talking about it all summer long.

Because she was so quiet when it came to Arizona and her fate, something tells me the decisions she and the writers made will involve Meredith and/or Derek. Saying that, both Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey have signed a contact for seasons 9 and 10, so whatever happens, I'm confident that they'll be okay and things will be resolved in season 10.
Hello again, Grey's Anatomy fans! Like usual, before I begin, I want to let you know that this post contains spoilers and anyone who doesn't want to know what's going to happen in future episodes should just leave now because you will be spoiled. If you want to be spoiled, then continue reading below the photo...
Not too long ago, Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's,for anyone who doesn't know) responded to a fan on Twitter regarding Arizona getting her mojo back. The fan brought up the fact that Shonda said that Arizona was going to get her mojo back "in a big way" before Valentine's Day and was wondering if it already happened and we just missed it?
Shonda's reply via Twitter, "You didn't miss it. I just misjudged the timing of the episodes airdates. It's coming. Sexy Arizona is heading yr way..."
First, I can't wait to see Sexy Arizona and something tells me that the wait will be worth it!
Second, I've really enjoyed Callie and Arizona's journey/storyline this season. Yes, at times it's been rough to watch, but it would be like that with any couple where one lost a limb or if something else along that magnitude were to happen. Their moment in the hotel room at Bailey's wedding when Arizona asked Callie not to run was sweet and showed that they are still committed to one another.
Third, Arizona is getting her mojo back! :) With her getting her mojo back, I'm wondering if she'll do something romantic for Callie like when Callie took Arizona to Derek's trailer and had it all set up with candles, lingerie, strawberries, etc.? With Shonda once saying that it'll be "in a big way", I'm thinking it will, but however it happens, I'm sure Shonda and the writers will not let the viewers/fans down.
Did I mention that Sexy Arizona is coming back?! Haha! :)
