The word from various spoiler outlets, especially our expert
Isabelle (who runs
SpoilerFix), is that there will be a pregnancy sometime this season on
Grey's Anatomy. Now, this hasn't been confirmed and is largely speculation. However, if someone does get pregnant, who is it going to be?
Given the general friskiness of the female characters, there are many possibilities for who ends up with a bun in the oven. These are the candidates.
Unlikely:
Dr. Miranda Bailey
She just had a kid and her having another one wouldn't accomplish much dramatically. Also, I'm guessing that whoever does get pregnant, it will be by a main character.
Weirder Things Have Happened:
Dr. Izzie Stevens
Story-wise, she's already got enough to deal with. It would be interesting if her and
Karev got it on, but I think that would really hamper those two characters in the long run, considering how young they are.
Maybe, But Probably Not:
Dr. Meredith Grey
Meredith could be the one, maybe, but they already had a fake-Meredith pregnancy earlier in the season, so, for that reason, I don't find it likely. It would have to be
Derek who'd be the father, which would be a nice subplot, but I still don't think they'd make the main character pregnant.
Dr. Cristina Yang
It would be an interesting subplot if Preston Burke, the man who took Cristina under his wing, got her pregnant, thus stalling her development as a doctor. I still don't think the writers would want to take Cristina in this direction, although I think it'd be interesting to see how her character (and Burke) would react.
The Favorites:
Dr. Addison Montgomery
This is the one I'm rooting for. Think of the dramatic ramifications if Addison got pregnant with
McSteamy's child. The conflict and tension at the hospital would be astounding, especially if it occurs on the heels of Derek and Addison getting back on good terms.
Dr. Callie Torres
It seems obvious that
George and Callie will be re-uniting in the near future and, seeing as Torres' doctorial skills are the least important of the characters on
Grey's, she seems the likely mom. Also, her character seems like one who would have her baby regardless of the situation of the father, thus putting George in a tough situation.
This is a fun topic to speculate about, but this storyline will likely not come as a surprise. I'm guessing there will be at least a couple episodes of foreshadowing prior, giving the audience at least a vague idea of who it's going to be.
Only a couple more weeks, fans, until the next new
Grey's Anatomy.
