In the initial reports for "Grey's Anatomy" season 13 updates, it was mentioned that show regulars, Meredeith Grey and Alex Karev have already signed to be part of the cast. Fans were happy to hear about this update since the two are the only ones left from the show's original team of interns.
As one of the longest running series ever, "Grey's Anatomy" fans have seen a lot of characters come and go. With the limited plot line and settings, writers sometimes have no choice but to kill off some characters to make the plot more believable. But, for "Grey's Anatomy" season 13, it seems that there has been a change. Alex Karev who is played by Justin Chambers, might have to say goodbye to the show or maybe end up in jail.
Justin's character, Alex Karev, has been facing charges since the previous episodes and it looks like it will continue on with "Grey's Anatomy" season 13. It seems that depending on the outcome of Jo's big revelation, Alex will have to face a big consequence.
Jo, played by Camilla Cuddington, ran away from her abusive husband and testified for Alex. Jo's decision to testify will once again make her vulnerable to her husband's search efforts. Being the good guy that he is, Alex decided to tell her not to testify for him. In "Grey's Anatomy" season 13, Jo will have to make a tough decision since it will affect both of their lives.
According to Australia Network News, Justin Chambers is leaving the "Grey's Anatomy" season 13 cast and the only way to do this is to put his character in jail. This is still a rumor and until an official announcement is made, fans will have to wait and see if Alex Karev will continue his story with "Grey's Anatomy."
"Grey's Anatomy" season 13 is currently on a mid-season break, so fans will have time to find or avoid spoilers. The next episode for season 13 is scheduled to air on January 19, 2017.
