Oh, I don’t know, that sounds very normal to me. For someone who grew up in a different country and still has family there, it could take even longer than a few years to call it home. I’ve been living where I am almost 10 years, I certainly don’t consider it home. It takes a lot to change that instinctive first thought of all your attachments to a new place, even with her brother and job and Maya here.
This is just an idea but I have a feeling that they are slowly moving carina away from Greys. Camilla who plays greys says that Jo will have a career change. She has been seen with 2 births already. I think she will switch to OB who knows then what Carina will do.
Oh, you think so? I haven’t watched Grey’s in a bit but that would be sad for Carina, unless she makes up for it in a similar role in Station 19. She genuinely does seem to love her job so while I would welcome any change where we see more of her in general, I hope it’s not at the expense of this.
What would you like to see Carina do if it was up to you? I always felt dumping her on the PRT was a bit of a reach but it would have been an easy way, especially with the pandemic storyline, to add her to the main cast. I agree that character wise, Carina has always seemed really into being an OB so it would be a big change. I wish they’d just promoted her on Grey’s Anatomy and brought her on Station 19 for medically relevant episodes and character/relationship development but oh well.
Yeah, a promotion on Grey’s and then personal story time overlapping both shows, with Maya appearing on Grey’s as much as Carina appeared on Station 19 would be the way to go. But barring that, the show doesn’t seem to have the budget or inclination to do what I’d prefer, which is Carina getting as much screentime and story as Travis and Dean and Jack and the rest, so those pockets of their personal life that we see, that should be Andrew and her job. it’s tough to do that kind of juggling and I don’t think they really want to, just devoting a whole part of Station 19 to the Grey’s world and not in the context of the PRT like with the other doctors that guested.
Right now they’re treating Carina as an extension of Maya’s allocation of personal time and it’s obviously not enough for a whole character. You’d think combined they’d get more, even IF it were just shippy, let alone her own time, but…I dunno, maybe they had plans that got scrapped from covid, maybe they don’t have the resources to create both fire situations as well as obgyn situations. But it’s going to be a bummer if we finish 4a with hardly any of her.
I gotta say i laughed at the anon saying including Carina in the prt would do the character a disservice, as if she has anything going for her rn. Anything would be better than the housewife who utters 2 sentences every 2 episodes. Stefania had so much hope for her character and i can’t believe she ended up playing the occasional hot housewife. This show needs to be called out for the gaybaiting they have been doing with Marina.
I assume the anon meant the person Carina and what’s important to her, not to the character or rather, the actress playing her. If someone is going to wish for better, why not for something that fits them? I would agree with the previous anon, I’d much prefer, since we’re getting neither at the moment, what delves deeper into Carina the person.
The reason she hasn’t gotten much so far isn’t because the writers couldn’t think of something to fit her character in, like the PRT, she’s just not a priority for them. We’ll see if that changes yet, though I’m sure the complaints I’m already seeing are getting the point across.
