'Grey's Anatomy's' Sarah Drew on April's 'Bridezilla Moments,' Shocking Midseason Finale
During the penultimate Grey's Anatomy episode of 2013, Drew's lovable doc really came into her own after she put her foot down with her judgmental sisters who couldn't stop seeing April as "Duckie," the late-blooming ugly duckling of the family. Instead of accepting their mocking, April tapped Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh) and newfound confidant Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) as her bridesmaids, sending her siblings packing as she prepared to march down the aisle and tie the knot with Matthew (Justin Bruening).
"She has some bridezilla moments," Drew laughs. "When she fired her sisters, she hired three self-absorbed people to replace them…who are all smack in the middle of their own drama."
Indeed. Cristina and Meredith are still in the midst of their multi-episode (and season-long?) feud, Arizona is attempting to rekindle her marriage with Callie (Sara Ramirez) and, for good measure, Meredith will see Derek (Patrick Dempsey) get a phone call that will change his life.
"A lot is going on all at once when all she should be doing is getting fluffed and told she's pretty," Drew says. "Instead, she's managing everybody surrounding her and that leads to some potential meltdown moments."
As for April's burgeoning friendship with Arizona, Drew says she loves the natural chemistry between April and Arizona and producers considered it an "aha" moment and natural progression for the two characters. "The day of the wedding, Arizona is overcome with a lot of different things and we see how that affects April in her moment when she needs to be the center of attention and everyone is dealing with their own stuff," Drew says, adding there will be more of April's and Arizona's friendship in subsequent episodes.
