Kim Raver Dishes on Teddy’s Open Marriage: A Bold Move in Grey’s Anatomy Drama
Buckle up, Grey’s Anatomy fans, because the drama just hit new heights! Kim Raver, the talented actress behind the beloved character Teddy Altman, recently opened up about the show’s jaw-dropping open marriage storyline with Owen Hunt, played by Kevin McKidd. In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, Raver confessed she was a bit nervous when she first learned of the plot twist. “I wanted to make sure that we showed that Teddy had evolved and that it wasn’t sort of like, oh, just a cheating thing,” she explained. The plot thickens as Teddy and Owen navigate this unconventional relationship dynamic, and Raver emphasizes that the storyline isn’t just about scandal; it’s a deep dive into character evolution.
In the recent episode aired on April 10, things took a spicy turn when Teddy discovered Owen had been unfaithful during their open marriage agreement. Meanwhile, she hesitated to pursue a fling with Cass Beckman (played by Sophia Bush), realizing that it wouldn’t mend her fractured relationship with Owen. Talk about a messy love triangle! With Owen reassuring Teddy that “I love you. Only you. That night meant nothing,” you can practically feel the tension radiating off the screen. Raver admitted she wasn’t surprised at Teddy’s immediate regret over the arrangement, noting that it’s not just a whimsical experiment but a complex challenge that tests their commitment.
Raver reflected on how Teddy viewed the open marriage as a way to “raise the stakes” in their relationship. She quipped, “What were the other options, like separate from Owen?” Her love for Owen runs deep, and the open marriage was a misguided attempt to rekindle their bond. However, the choice to open up their marriage led to a critical moment of self-realization for Teddy when she recognized that this wasn’t the fix she hoped for. As the drama unfolds, viewers are left wondering what’s next for the couple, especially with the looming reveal of Owen’s infidelity with Nora (Floriana Lima). Raver hinted that this is just the beginning of a significant storyline, showcasing Teddy’s strength as she navigates the emotional fallout.
As for the fate of Cass Beckman, Raver teased that fans might have to keep guessing. “I think we have to leave that open,” she remarked, adding just enough intrigue to keep us all on our toes. So, what’s the takeaway from this whirlwind of love, betrayal, and self-discovery? It’s clear that Grey’s Anatomy isn’t shying away from challenging narratives that reflect the complexities of love and relationships. And while we’re at it, grab some popcorn because this saga is only getting started!
