Dr. Teddy Altman: IN
So, remember when Teddy (Kim Raver) left because Owen could not decide whether he wanted to be with her or not? Well, she's back … and is pregnant with Owen's child! "It's interesting, because at the end of last year, Owen knocked on Teddy's door and somehow professed his love for her, and she really loved it," Raver told PEOPLE recently. "I think Teddy has to let his guard down, and then feel like he did not, because he was just scared to be alone, so she kicked him out and now she's pregnant. So I think that coming back and navigating what's going to happen is a really interesting line. "

They had an unfortunate thing with his tumor and other things, but the love for each other is still there, obviously, and they start encouraging these kids together. That's why they are very comfortable, when finally, Owen discovers it. We have not played this episode yet. I'm so excited to play because I've been playing this character for so long. I think I know how he reacts to everything. I do not know how he will react to that. I think he's going to be very flipper and have a breakdown – I do not know. I do not know, and that excites me.
