Beloved characters in the ABC series "Grey's Anatomy" will soon find themselves in an emotional journey especially Owen (Kevin McKidd) whose wife Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) decided to leave him in the show's midseason 13 finale. Following Amelia's disappearance, Owen will find other ways to cope with the situation, according to McKidd.
"Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 episode 9 featured a heartbreaking scene, in which Owen came home to discover that Amelia has left him. Knowing how important starting a family and having children were to Owen, Amelia decided to leave after revealing that she has no plans to have a baby.
The aftermath of Amelia's departure would be one of the main plot themes in the upcoming back half of "Grey's Anatomy" Season 13. In an interview with Variety, McKidd shared how Owen will give Amelia the time she needs to figure things out for herself. However, he will soon come after her to convince Amelia to give their relationship a chance.
Owen and Amelia's relationship is "definitely on the rocks," according to the actor. It is also unsure if Owen will be able to change Amelia's mind about having a baby. There may even come a time when Amelia's estranged husband will decide to give up, given his previous experience with ex-wife Cristina (Sandra Oh).
Similar to Amelia, Cristina also had no plans to have a baby. The situation led to Owen having an affair that eventually resulted in the couple's separation, as shown in the ABC series' previous seasons.
Meanwhile, to cope with Amelia's disappearance, Owen will spend more time in the hospital in the back half of the "Grey's Anatomy" Season 13. Owen's upcoming long shifts at Grey Sloan Hospital may also lead to more interactions with his former friend Nathan (Martin Henderson).
With Nathan's blooming romance with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Owen will probably be the last person to realize that something is going on between the doctors. In an interview with TVLine, McKidd mentioned how he hopes Owen will not have a bad reaction to the two doctors' potential romance.
"Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 will return to the small screens in January 2017. Watch some of the highlights from the midseason finale below:
