"Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 star Jessica Capshaw recently weighed in on rumors that Callie (Sara Ramirez) and their onscreen daughter, Sofia, may return to the upcoming episodes.
While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Capshaw said that it is an ideal situation to see her character, Arizona, spending more time with her daughter. Since Arizona and Callie tried to be mature in handling Sofia's custody case in Season 12, this definitely put their relationship in a good spot.
However, it seems that the thought that Arizona, Callie and Sofia get to see each other every two weeks in New York City is something that will be left in the imagination of the viewers.
"I think the conceit is, we are all to imagine that in the perfect utopia of Shondaland that Callie and Penny and Sofia are happily, happily ensconced in a new life in New York," she said.
But even if it seems impossible to see Callie and Sofia back on the hit ABC series anytime soon, Capshaw said that the doors are always open for the two of them. "Who knows when they might pop back in or out or if the relationship is played off-screen," she said.
Meanwhile, Capshaw also talked about Alex Karev's (Justin Chambers) decision to take a plea deal. This means that he will be spending some time in prison, and it was already featured in episode 10.
Since Arizona and Alex have a very close relationship, the former is not necessarily happy with the latter's call. "It is devastating. It is one of those things where you cannot even explain how you feel when something that you cannot do anything about starts to happen and unravel. It must be a really helpless feeling and clearly she has such great affection and love for their friendship. It is complicated and it is one of those things where everybody feels very helpless because there is nothing you can do," she said.
"Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
