Jake Borelli Exit Interview: ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Star On How Levi Was Written Off, One Scene He Wished He Had, Levi’s Queer Legacy & Possible Return


Jake Borelli discussed on how Levi was written off, the character's queer legacy, a missed scene opp and a possible return to 'Grey's Anatomy.'

BORELLI: Essentially, me and my team got a call from the showrunner [Meg Marinis], and she told us that this was the route that they were thinking about taking for Levi — to round out his growth and to give him a place to be outside of Grey Sloan, someplace that could see him for who he was, and for the audience, to be able to see him grow, finally, into the doctor we’ve all known he could be. DEADLINE: Speaking of queer characters, the first person Levi told about his decision besides his bosses was Taryn Helm at the end of the previous episode. DEADLINE: You mentioned earlier potentially coming back, and there was the reassuring for fans moment when Jo asked Levi to be the twins’ godfather and he agreed.
