Kevin McKidd Talks To AOL On His "Grey's" Love Triangle - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The following is an excerpt from his interview only focusing on Grey's Anatomy:

Owen was left speechless when Teddy revealed her feelings for him. Are we going to see him respond in this week's episode 'Holidaze'?

Yes. Originally, Owen had a line that he was going to say right after Teddy gave her speech. After talking to the writers, who are all fantastic, we all came to the conclusion it'd be much more interesting if Owen wasn't able to say anything.

It's going to be much more complicated. The stakes have gone way up. Owen and Teddy went through a very intense experience by serving in Iraq. It's like two people who climb Mount Everest. They probably know more about each other than their spouses do.

There's a big Owen/Cristina fan base, but viewers would love to see Kim Raver (Lipstick Jungle, 24, and Third Watch) get the guy for once.

We're too early to know if that's the story we're telling. Kim is a fantastic actress. She's very truthful and committed to what she's doing.

Sandra is one of the best actresses around and I'm blessed to work with her. Sandra and I quickly realized how passionate Kim is about her work.

The dynamic among the three of us is hopefully going to translate on screen. That's where the interesting story is.

You joined Grey's in 2008; do you feel less like the new guy with all the new doctors this season?

Yes. Last season I was the only [new] actor until Jessica Capshaw came on. It was scary. I'd only done jobs where I'd been on board since day one.

I empathize with the new guys. Joining a show is like jumping onto a moving freight train. You grab on and hope you can keep your grip.

Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Scotland?

No ... We have nothing to be thankful for in Scotland. [Laughs]

Seriously, this episode also covers the Christmas holiday. There's this elephant in the room with the Teddy/Owen situation.

In my family, if there's something unresolved and unspoken, the holidays tend to bring it out. You can't sweep it under the rug. Something very interesting will happen between these three at this time.

It's quite explosive, really.
