That was something for the writers to explore.
Do we like this?
Thats only true to a certain degree.

We all have a curiosity about our audience.
Hes excited about the challenge.
He doesnt want the easy road.
So he legit likes her?
But I dont necessarily think thats what is happening here.
I think it just adds a challenging and comical layer.
Its fun for Meredith, having these two guys falling at her feet.
But we are also exploring a friendship between DeLuca and Link.
They like playing guitar together.
I dont think there is disdain or hatred between these two men.
Theyre just in the situation they are in they both like the same girl.
What is the age difference supposed to be?
Thats the whole point of the story.
At the beginning of the season, executive producerKrista Vernoffcame to me to talk about exploring something between us.
Its become this normal thing that we dont really think about.
Why is that wrong?
Why can men get away with it but women cant?
But physical attraction is not all there is.
We need to have Meredith not just see him being heroic but being kind and sweet and empathetic.
Those are the things that are going to make Meredith fall in love with him.
So weve been trying to build those moments.
In the last episode, he had the sweet relationship with the little girl.
That was attractive to Meredith.
In Thursdays episode, we saw a declaration for sure.
DeLuca is done tiptoeing around it.
Hes done playing games.
Hes feeling good and brave.
I think Meredith is conflicted for a lot of reasons.
Do you know how this will all turn out?I dont.
I know we are working it day by day.
We are doing episode 11 right now.
I cant really say where it progresses to but the train is definitely moving forward.
But its also pushing forward for Link.
The triangle is still there.
Its like a chess game between Link and DeLuca.
Its like a push and pull.
It will be interesting to watch.
Greys Anatomyairs Thursdays at 8 p.m.
