EXCLUSIVE: 'Grey's Anatomy's' Giacomo Gianniotti Talks Jo and … – Entertainment Tonight

Greys Anatomy star Giacomo Gianniotti is hopeful that Dr. Andrew DeLuca will see happier days in the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

The 28-year-old actor discussed the future of the love triangle his character is currently entangled in with Jo (Camilla Luddington) and her ex, Alex (Justin Chambers). Over the course of the last season, DeLuca began developing strong feelings for Jo, and it appears theres a very real possibility for a deeper connection between the two doctors.

DeLucas attempts to confess his feelings to Jo havent gone so well for him, Gianniotti recently told ET. But personally speaking, I think he jumped the gun a little bit. Shes fresh out of this relationship [with Alex]. I think she just needs a little time to process everything. Its not necessarily that she doesnt have interest and feelings for DeLuca, but she needs some space.

They were great friends before and confidantes during a traumatic moment in her life, he added. Theres definitely bonding that happened there regardless. I see them having some kind of a relationship, whether its love or friends.

Adding a wrinkle to Jo and DeLucas blossoming relationship is the return of Jos estranged husband, Dr. Paul Stadler (Matthew Morrison), whom viewers met briefly when Alex tailed him at a Seattle medical conference. Though Gianniotti remained mum when it came to specifics about Stadlers reappearance, which Morrison hinted would be a big role.

I think its a great storyline to explore, Gianniotti said of Morrisons reprisal. We saw him and his existence outside of Seattles Grey Sloan, so if he comes into our world, thats a whole other thing. Thats him meeting the other doctors. Thats him being involved in the lives of everybody, not just Jo, so it definitely raises the stakes having him around in that capacity.

As for DeLuca and Maggies (Kelly McCreary) short-lived romance, Gianniotti says that nothing on Greys is simple -- and he prefers it that way.

Its complicated is such a great way to describe a lot of the relationships on Greys Anatomy, he said. We didnt really get much closure, but theyve gotten to the point where they can work together and be in the same room and be cool. But yeah, theres definitely some things left unsaid on both sides.

But Gianniotti promises there will be real closure for the two, romantically, in the new season: We might see a resolution, but it might not be a resolution that you guys thought or hoped for. Its gonna be comical more than dramatic.

He also spoke about the show reaching the impressive 300th episode milestone, which will air as the seventh installment in season 14.

I dont see [the show] stopping anytime soon. The show is still growing very strong, he said, noting that Greys added new producers, new writers this season for a fresh take. Its going to be funnier and sexier and lighter. Were still going to give you the drama. Youre still going to need that tissue box, for sure, but we want our audience to have a little bit more fun this season and enjoy some of our characters being happy.

Greys Anatomy kicks off season 14 with a two-hour premiere on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
