Grey's Anatomy's Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) hasn't had much luck in the love department since being abandoned by wife Izzie — and when Season 9 premieres, he'll still be "a dog sleeping around," says creator Shonda Rhimes. But not for long.
"This is the season I want to see Alex find true love — his person to land with," adds Rhimes. It's also possible Rhimes will delve into the character's dark childhood and finally introduce his abusive, drug-addict father.

jesus fuck it should not have taken 9 years to make this guy a human being. they always teased us with good character development and then took it away. i was so happy at the end of last season when he couldn't believe hopkins was making him an offer after his boards and the chief was telling him how to negotiate and told him "you're just not used to finishing first in a race and people are cheering for you" or w/e he said because FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
But I resent the implication that Alex hasn't found true love yet - That was Izzie!
But yay for meeting Alex's father! Please go down that route.
I have never liked Karev and I hated the Izzie and Alex pairing when I used to watch.
AND NOTHING ELSE EXISTS.
I'm living in the past and I like it.
Shonda sounds a bit ridiculous here. Owen was such a douche last season.
Obviously Izzie wasn't his ~true love. Because genuine love doesn't fuck with you and abandon you for years.
