Shonda said that CO will struggle to stay in love, right ? Since season 6, Owen is the one who has been competing with surgery, Teddy, Meredith and surgery again for Cristina's love and attention sucessfully or unsecessfully... Now how about Cristina feeling...threatened by the 10 years old little boy for Owen's love and attention ? I still have in mind his love declaration to Cristina " Your are the love of my life. i will never love another woman ". Justine, where and when did Shonda say this? Please point us to the actual spoiler. Kaz check out Shonda's interviews that I posted on Spoilers Only thread from 28 and 29 Jan.

I think this season is about how they are staying together, not breaking up constantly.

I still have in mind his love declaration to Cristina " Your are the love of my life. i will never love another woman ". I´ve been thinking about this idea and it is possible. How will Cristina behave once she actually notices this budding friendship between them? It will certainly limit the time she spends with Owen in terms of from now on he will share his love and time with two people. Cristina won´t be the only important person in his life anymore, at least this is what I assume.

We all laugth at Cristina's trick to Dr Russell in the last episode when she convinced the board to cut from Cardio in order to give the fund to Bailey's project...!
The knife maybe will twist in the following way: Cristina certainly reaches her purpose and goal when it comes to her career but meanwhile she thinks she has it all and things are going in her way. She will be busy in doing how may people's job ? At least 3, right ? This means lot of time spending at the hospital and little left to share with Owen, right ?
I think that at some point, not at the beginning Cristina will be aware that Owen's attention and love had been drifted from her to the little boy: Owen being less available when she will be available from her duties at the hospital, and so on ? Because he will spend more time with the little boy and more connected to him emotionally.

Very true. She will be superbusy. So many patients, surgeries, trials, her own projects, doing the work of 4 people...
Owen will not prevent her from doing it, he knows career is her priority, meantime, he will be bonding with the boy...
He and the boy will become friends, they will share things with each other. This emotional connection is what CO lack at the moment, the emotional intimacy is not there. JMHO

I wouldn't expect to see a whole lot of consistency in upcoming episodes about Cristina taking on all of those additional research hours she was so smug about in this last ep (and seriously, didn't that strike anyone else as a really, really douching thing to do? Eliminate some research assistant's employment, because she wants in on a project?)
I also am curious to see if the GA writer's room will want to portray Cristina as being jealous and threatened by a little kid's relationship with Owen. I'd almost rather bet that they'd spent their episode minutes showing Cristina as developing a parallel relationship with the kid herself, instead. That would be a more positive portrayal (which would then factor into a more healthy "let's co-parent a kid!" decision later on in the season, IF that's the direction this storyline is heading...)
I'm hesitant in this hope... but I am sort of getting the feeling that maybe Shonda & Co. have heard our cries after three years of unrelenting negative angst for Crowen that maybe MAYBE [italic]maybe[/italic] they are going to stick to the positives for Cristina & Owen for the rest of the season. That's probably wishful thinking, but Shondaland has spent enough time tearing those two characters apart, they DESERVE some quality positive-build time!

Read the link. They will have a more mature and understanding relationship in season 9.

How do we think Grandma arriving is going to affect things between Owen and the boy?

Because he will spend more time with the little boy and more connected to him emotionally. You compare the love you have for a child with the love you have for your partner? Like there is some sort of competition? There are 2 very different and distinctive things. Both can coexist. The emotional connection you have with a child is very different than the one you have with your partner. The only thing we know at this moment is that Owen will bond in 9.19 with the boy because his parents are in a critical condition. So until we have further information, this is pure speculation. I would kindly ask you to move this discussion to the appropriate thread.

Eliminate some research assistant's employment, because she wants in on a project?) There was an abuse of power there. She used the influence she has on the board to force Russell take her on his trial. What I find even more surprising is that until this episode Cristina had no idea what research Russel was doing. He told Russell she wanted to be up to speed with his projects. Seems unbelievable to me. She may be a member of the board (who have a more administrative role), but she is still a fellow and Russell is still her boss in the cardio department. I didn't like how he pitched Cristina for the money, but her move wasn't correct either. Because she took someone else's job in her own interest. This is not something I liked to see for Cristina's career. She could have started her own research instead of making abuse of power on Russell. I want to see her achieving things on her own merit and work not because she is taking advantage of her new position. You are also right about the consistency in this show. Being member of the board, doing surgery, taking care of Russell's patients, doing research for the trail and project of her own (per Cristina's saying) is way too much to keep any kind of realism. Time in GA is expandable and these surgeons have a day of 40 hours. Only this way I could explain the amount of things these peeps get done in a day. Or are superhumans. Remember the guy who came seasons ago with a fish in thingy. He was chairman of the board. That was his job, that's what he was doing. And now I am to believe that Jackson can handle being Head of the Board and also be a surgeon doing his fellowship in plastics. This show has become so unrealistic when it comes to some things, that my head hurts thinking about it. Timelines and time in general in GA is a problem. It is shortened or expanded the way Shonda wants.

Read the link. They will have a more mature and understanding relationship in season 9. Did you mean this particular part? "Crowen shippers will find Cristina and Owen in a warmer, more mature, and more understanding relationship. Knowing how these two began, all hopes are up that they never decide to fall apart again" - even outside marriage." I think it is only the writer of this article who thinks that. Shonda has never said something like this. I only believe Owen finally made peace that Cristina will always put career first and will never have a child with him - biological, or adopted. He is out there fighting for himself. JMHO Please, don´t take my words negatively. I am happy that you still have this enthusiasm for them as a couple. Keep it!

Bummer! My ideal fantasies of Owen adopting the kid are crushed. It'll be a two-episode story arc for Granny, according to that article (I had to look it up in the other thread). My initial assumption is that the kid was uninjured and without a guardian at the hospital, at which time Owen steps up -- and that the storyline would then end with Granny swooping in and taking her grandchild away. But if Granny is present for both episodes... hmmmm! My initial assumptions are challenged!

From C. Luddington´s twitter yesterday after a table read for 922 /I assume/ or already 923???
"Literally did a "I can't talk right now.."To some1 driving home after the Greys table read today...Needing time2actually process it all."
What is going to happen? Is she referring to her character Jo? Or is it taken globally for all characters?
If Kevin is starting filming today, was the table read yesterday for 922 or already for 923? I am quite puzzled. It can´t be 923, because isn´t it usually 2 or 3 days before they start shooting? Or maybe two teams will be working at the same time for 922 and 923 for a couple of days?
From Shonda´s twitter:
"Had very intense discussions yesterday with writers about the Grey's season finale. We made some very bold shocking decisions. Wow."
I am getting nervous. Especially about the highlighted part. I hope nothing happens to Owen. All thing considered, every finale is promoted as bold and shocking after all.

I think Shonda uses the phrases "shocking," "intense" and "bold" by default. The words just spill out of her fingertips by habit.
I don't think I'll worry about Owen -- not unless the next-to-last episode of the season has a LOT of happy C/O moments in it. Only if Cristina & Owen look like they're happily-ever-after in the next-to-last episode will I worry.

Based on Shonda´s tweets she changed everything she said about the finale because"she woke up in the middle of night and decided it all felt wrong." I think it will be very easy to decipher once the finale airs what her original plan was.
I will just say if only she had this vision before approving season 7 finale when it apparently felt right for her to write a pregnancy with the only purpose of abortion. Dreadful.
But here is Owen two seasons later with a chance of having a child so I hope she won´t spoil it this time. I would say she owes it to this character. Fingers crossed.
