Okay I’ll give a quick rundown of what she said about working with Danielle because the rest is too long and I don’t even go here: They ask her which of her relationships on the show she liked best, Arizona or Maya, she says that things with Maya were particularly intense, during the first table read the chemistry between them was so strong everybody fell silent for like 5 seconds, her and Danielle became friends immediately [1/2]

[2/2] she says “we loved each other from the beginning" But she uses the term for love that means more family and friends love so don’t get any ideas 😉 After that they ask if she’d consider being a main character full time on Station 19 and she goes “I don’t know what a gynaecologist would do in a fire station” but if they were to ask her she wouldn’t mind giving it a shot as long as she can keep doing what she loves. Gotta go now, did my best! Ciao a tutti

Oh wow, this is so overwhelmingly nice of you, anon! Amazingly nice and kind of you! When you don’t even go here. Just…so lovely.

I guess that decides Arizona vs Maya, as far as Carina goes, anyway. Heh, that first table read gets mentioned so often, it must have been a doozy. I wasn’t getting any ideas! ….no thanks to them, lol. Haha, that’s a great point, I think people, including me, are always like, well, all the Grey’s doctors are over all the time on S19, why can’t she be permanent, totally forgetting she’s a gyno. But we’d love to have her, all the same. Just, like, decide to become a late in life firefighter like Warren.

Thank you so much! Ciao!

I have steered away from getting invested in ships bc I try to enjoy shows w/o fandom drama but the fact that Danielle & Stef are so low maintenance and don’t need the show’s promotion to hype them up is so refreshing lol. They’ve cultivated a lot of fans by just being super interactive, genuine and fun people who enjoy each other’s company. Shondaland is lucky that they have so much hype for a ship that doesn’t get nearly enough screentime. S4 – give us the content we deserve lol.

Oh, I agree, they’re great and it’s really easy and fun to be their fans because of how engaged they are with the fandom and if the writers were smart they’d capitalize buuut at this point, after seeing so many actresses’ charisma and chemistry squandered, I try to separate it from my investment in the fictional ship. I think in this case it just so worked out that Danielle is super hard-working and engaged on SM and pulled along an admittedly totally willing and compatible Stefania, but the ship could absolutely still go south and this could fizzle out, or vice versa, and that’d be that. I mean, I’m absolutely still gonna lap up whatever content they put out, but still trying to compartmentalize, however successfully.

I only knew about the Dani/Stef live because of the ask you got and I don’t really watch celeb stuff like that but everything sucks and it was there and I’m actually really glad I did. Obviously celebs are people and owe us nothing but it was so nice as a black woman to see two white women speaking so frankly about their unconscious biases/racism and not be all self righteous about it? When they started I was so wary but it was interesting. Just a nice change esp from nonblack celebs.

Oh, yeah! I was nervous about it, people are revealing so much about themselves in these times. When it seemed like they were going to veer away from any discussion in favor of “distraction”, as they had already said before it started, I was actually relieved, but I’m glad when they DID bring it up, it was mostly from a place of understanding why it was happening and, as you said, acknowledging their biases and privilege and what their role was.

Did you see Danielle’s live yesterday? She brought up Stefania so many times without being prompted and talked about the hike they went on this week and seeing her dog LOL it’s genuinely so cute to see how well they get along offscreen :’) It makes me root for Marina even more if that makes sense. The chemistry is so undeniably breathtaking that it’s almost scary lol.

Okay, so, this is from weeks ago, and I’m so sorry I didn’t answer earlier, but good lord, did you see today’s?? They DO get along well, huh. I could not have imagined being here with actresses from a ship, after getting the occasional selfie or interview. Yeah, the one with Emma was a nice surprise, the way she dropped those tidbits she knew the fans would be hanging on for, but today. :O

I do get what you mean about it making you root for the couple harder, and I totally see how, though personally I try to separate that as like, bonus content because I don’t want the ship to be defined by that. Lol, although I’m still kind of laughing helplessly at today’s live, because that’s almost the better making of a romance than what we saw on S19.

Do you have the whole clip of Danielle and Stefania live stream for the final ep. I’ve missed it and I can’t find it anywhere ?

Me:

Yep, people are actually pretty good about uploading lives involving the Grey’s/S19 cast, you can see their earlier ones if you search on Youtube.
