Kim Raver Loves When Fans Hate On Teddy
By Mia Tucker
In fact, Kim Raver said explicitly that this is why she likes being a part of "Grey's Anatomy," as the characters are flawed and sometimes make errors of judgment, just like in reality. "Another thing that is Shonda Rhimes is that we're human, we're flawed, we make mistakes," Raver explained. "We do, as humans, so that's what we want to see on the screen."
Raver is definitely onto something here. While fans may want comfort and stability in their real-life relationships, many viewers tune into shows like "Grey's Anatomy" to be caught up in all of the drama. Love triangles and will-they-won't-they situations are just a natural part of that storytelling structure, and "Grey's" wouldn't be "Grey's" without it.
"So when people are, you know, shouting 'why is she cheating on [him],' like, yeah that's messed up, that is some messed up stuff," she admitted. All the same, Raver wants fans to be invested in her character's story, so she doesn't mind the hate that Teddy gets. "Then they're on the journey with me to figure out how to get on a better path and be a better person," Raver concluded.
