Grey's Anatomy: Callie and Richard related scoop from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Grey's Anatomy from this week's (Posted on 10/1/13) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Arizona looked so distraught towards the end of the Grey’s Anatomy season premiere. It had me in tears. Do you have any scoop on Callie and Arizona that will help turn my frown upside down? —Allyson
Ausiello: Happy days are here again! Or at least they will be for one half of the fractured couple. “Callie, interestingly enough, while still going through something fairly dark, has a lot of humorous stuff happening to her in this season,” series creator Shonda Rhimes revealed at the show’s 200th episode soiree over the weekend. “She’s playing a lot of humor [and] getting the biggest laughs at table reads right now.”

Question: Is Grey’s Anatomy‘s Richard Webber the character in last week’s Blind Item?  —Kim
Ausiello: He sure isn’t! But that doesn’t mean Chief has an easy road ahead of him following his near-death experience. Returning to his old self “is going to be a long process, at least in terms of TV time,” previews James Pickens Jr.  ”Over the next five episodes, we’ll watch him in this journey,  how he tries to come back from this. We haven’t seen Chief in this light before, so it’s going to be really interesting, really compelling.”
