You never know if they’re gonna lose interest in your story line or if you piss off the wrong person, then something’s gonna happen. Like, you don’t know. But when I just popped back in to say hello, it I have zero anxiety, and I don’t need anything from anybody on that set anymore,” she said. For her, it’s now just “a fun spot to come visit.” Sarah did credit the show with helping her career grow after her character was romantically involved with Jesse Williams‘ character Jackson Avery. “I was just telling somebody else about this before — prior to my character getting with Jesse Williams, I’ve always played awkward, grating, annoying, ugly duckling, not beautiful [characters],” she said. “I was ugly until my character started dating Jesse, and now I play romantic leads.” Did you see that a huge star just joined the cast of Grey’s?
