Grey’s Anatomy News: ‘I’m sure Owen will be parachuting in there to pull her out’ – Kevin McKidd
Grey's Anatomy's Owen Hunt would parachute his way to the woods to save Christina Yang (Sandra Oh) if it's up to the actor who plays Owen, Kevin McKidd.
Hunt and Yang have a lot to fix after all that they have been through in Season 8. Yang has aborted her pregnancy and Hunt could not deal with it, even if he wanted to. They've done marriage counseling, but Hunt's one night stand ruined everything. Still, by the time the residents are ready for the boards, Yang seemed ready to forgive Hunt.
In a recent interview with AccessHollywood for the promotion of his upcoming Disney film "Brave," McKidd expressed optimism that Yang and Hunt could still work things out.
"I do think they're going to be happy and good for each other," he said, referring to the troubled husband and wife.
In the last few moments of Season 8's finale, Hunt is seen catching up with the voice messages in his phone. He has rejected phone call updates from anyone other than Yang all day, and he is beginning to realize that something bad has happened to the surgeons who boarded the plane.
It is difficult to accept that the other hospital just seemed to have stopped trying to get answers from Seattle Grace's Chief of Surgery when they were already "worried." A lot of things could have been done to make sure that Hunt responds right away to the issue at hand.
Shonda Rhimes and her team had put Yang and the rest of the surgeons stuck in the woods for several hours, and no one from the other hospital was alarmed enough to yell about it to Hunt.
Season 9 will pick up from where it left off, in the middle of the woods. Avid viewers will see whether the creative people would take on McKidd's suggestion to have Owen parachuting to save Yang.
"He will send someone," Yang assures Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) in the finale. She knows her husband would come to their rescue, but she was not even hoping he would personally come to get her.
Yang is not seen rambling about her relationship with Hunt in the middle of the crisis. While she desperately seeks help from everyone in building camp fire, she rants she is "not interested in dying." That does not give away to viewers whether she is changing her mind about leaving Seattle Grace, and realizing that in the face of death, Hunt is the only person in her mind. Fans will find out come Fall.
