Questions With Kevin McKidd

The latest Cristina/Owen scoop from Watch With Kristin at E!Online:

We all know George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) is a goner, which means season six of Grey's Anatomy really starts off on a low note.

What could possibly bring up the spirits of the docs at Seattle Grace hospital and, of course, the audience? Romance! Yes, Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) are getting even closer this year, though something arises from his past that may throw a wrench in the matter.

So what are the perks of going to the Television Critics Association? Sitting down with Grey's McKidd and passing all the scoop onto you!

...

Do the producers have plans to replace George? Is someone new going to step into the limelight?
Kevin McKidd: I don't know the answer to that one. They haven't said. But I know there are a couple of new interns coming in. It'll be exciting to see who shows up.

How is Cristina and Owen's relationship going to develop this year?
Kevin McKidd: It's going to get quite complicated in the sense that I think they've gotten over the whole trauma of his past, but then his past comes back again at some point to haunt him. Someone comes to the hospital that he was connected to in his past, not his ex-fiancée, but it's somebody we didn't expect. I think it could get a little tricky, but exciting and interesting. Hopefully it will bring them closer together in the long run.

Bottom line: We should be rooting for Cristina and Owen this year, right?
Kevin McKidd: Absolutely. They had a rough time last year, and they deserve some happiness this year. Whether they get it, I don't know.
