Alex and Ava (Rebecca)
We’ve all heard the news that Rebecca (Elizabeth Reaser) is scheduled to come back to Grey’s Anatomy this season for another arc on the show. It seems pretty obvious to me that she’s coming back for Alex. One of the great things about Grey’s Anatomy is they never really close a door (well, unless you’re Denny) and there’s always a chance to see someone again. So how do we feel about her return?
What a long way the character of Alex has come since the show started. When the show first started Alex was a pompous jerk and seemingly would serve as only a one note character – a foil to the other interns. But as time went on, he began to change. I like him now and am happy to say I no longer want to call him “McTool.� I was actually rooting for him and Izzie at the beginning. (Those two are responsible for some of my favorite funny moments – “Literally take off your pants� and the kiss in the bar – “Seriously�) And who knows, that might come back up again. But, I really wanted to see him with Addison. It bothered me to no end that they had to tie up that story very quickly to set up Addison’s move to LA. And yes, they by far had the best couple name – Addisex. One quick call room visit and the big brush off and that was done.
And it is beyond ironic that Alex has fallen for a patient after raking Izzie over the coals for falling for Denny. And yes, I know, Alex didn’t go to extreme measure the way Izzie did. But I am interested in seeing how this whole thing plays out – has Alex grown up? Will Rebecca leave her husband for him? Thoughts?

I like seeing Alex and Ava together - I was just watching those episodes from last season and I really enjoy seeing a different side of him. Does Alex have interns, because I really don’t remember seeing them last week…
