The update is shocking, especially after that explosive season 21 finale left fans (and doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial) reeling. In a recent interaction with E!

When it comes to digging Grey’s spoilers, Camilla is just like fans. In 2020, Camilla told E! News that she’s “nosy” when it comes to digging up future storylines. Camilla was one of the first to know about the jaw-dropping return of Patrick Dempsey’s McDreamy during season 17.

“I think that Jo is making her way out of this heartbreak, and it’s a slow process,” Camilla said at the time. “I think that she’s trying to figure out what she needs.”

“I’m excited as an actress to play her in this new life of being a single girl,” she shared. “What does Jo Wilson look like single? What does she look like, maybe dating around? I want to see that and I’m excited to play that.”
