Grey's Anatomy may have reunited Alex (Justin Chambers) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) off-screen, but could they actually stage a return to the series down the line?<\/p>\n
The showrunner of the series was asked that question in a recent interview with Deadline following the impromptu sixteenth season finale.<\/p>\n
In a wild twist of fate, Alex left Jo behind in Seattle and reunited with his former love Izzie, and they are living on a farm in Kansas, where they are raising their children.<\/p>\n
Given that Heigl was not on the best of terms with Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes when she exited the series, many fans thought a return would be out of the question.<\/p>\n
But for current showrunner, Krista Vernoff, she thinks it would not be impossible.<\/p>\n
\"When I left the show in season 7, people asked me if there was any chance of me ever coming back, and I was smart enough to say, 'Never say never',\" she told Deadline. \"Here I am, so who knows?\"<\/p>\n
While it seems unlikely to ever happen, at least fans can take solace in the fact that Alex and Izzie got a happy ending.<\/p>\n
It wasn't enough for some fans, but it was a way to say goodbye to the characters amid Justin Chambers' exit from the series.<\/p>\n
Grey's Anatomy has a track record of killing off beloved characters, so at least Alex and Izzie are still living.<\/p>\n
That means the possibility is always there for them to return in some capacity, but given that all signs are pointing towads Grey's Anatomy Season 17 being the last-ever season, it seems unlikely for now.<\/p>\n
Grey's Anatomy recently wrapped its 16th season with four episodes unproduced, but the impromptu finale worked well in bringing the show to a close ... for now.<\/p>\n
ABC has already ordered up Grey's Anatomy Season 17, but one star has said he is \"confident\" it will be the show's last hurrah.<\/p>\n
Whether that will be the case, we don't know.<\/p>\n
