If you’ve been concerned for Dr. Bailey’s lack of a love life on Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes has dropped news of an upcoming storyline that should have many Bailey fans cheering. According to the Executive Producer, Bailey will be getting a new love interest, played by actor Jason George.
If you watch the now-canceled Eastwick you’ll undoubtedly recognize George as journalist hottie Max Brody. On Grey’s Anatomy he’ll be playing an anesthesiologist named Ben Warren who wins Bailey’s heart.
“We’re excited that Dr. Bailey’s going ot be getting a little bit of loving,” Rhimes told TV Guide. “When we first read her pages with Jason in the read-thru, all our actors went, ‘Oooo.’ It’s really cute to see Bailey get some attention.” It’s also about time that Bailey got some cheerful news.
Don’t expect the romance to be love at first sight, though. It seems that Bailey and Warren don’t necessarily get along right off the bat. But Bailey “learns” to like him.
There’s no word on whether Jason George might become a permanent fixture in Seattle Grace, though it sounds like the option is there somewhere depending on how things pan out for the couple.
Look for this storyline sometime in mid-February. Happy early Valentines’!
