Kai and Amelia -Grey’s Anatomy

[Guest]

Anyone knows what Cat calls ER as? Do their friends refer to them as Emmett or ER? I love that ER refers to Cat as "little woman" like they called her in the "Alaska/Igloo" podcast.

I'd guess they call each other with terms of endearment like babe or sweetie I think are the ones mentioned by ER on pods. So probably a name along those lines. Although I did think ER called Cat chim before I realised that was the cat's name . But maybe they have nicknames they call each other that only they understand. Maybe ER will mention it on a pod one day.

Unfortunately season 21 is not the end. Ellen just confirmed on the stage in France when she was promoting Good American Family that there will be a season 22.

Did anyone really think it was the end? Also someone from set pretty much said it was renewed when they posted about the wrap party. They’ve probably known for a while without it being officially announced.

If S21 was the last then there could have been a big send off but we pretty much assumed here that there is S22 the question was mainly if S22 is going to be the last. But judging by the way things are ratings wise, GA still pulls in the big numbers on streaming.

[Guest]

Did you think they were going to let them wrap the season and then leave everyone jobless?

But why are people sad that there is another season?

[Guest]

Why unfortunately?

Because it means another season of watching Amelia flounder and get no real good storyline that aren't tied to Meredith considering they'll probably draw the Alzheimer's study out in to season 22 now that they'll be focusing on exclusively female mice

On the contrary, don't you think the more they extend the more there's a likelihood they will have to give Amelia a storyline at some point?

[Guest]

I don’t think Cat is back for S22. No I can’t prove it but I guess time will tell.

yes let’s hope a single mom of 3 kids loses her job!

it hasn't so far so why would it suddenly change? Even this groundbreaking surgery storyline will probably only last an episode because they refuse to draw out any storylines now

Keep on dreaming that weird dream you got there buddy!

[Guest]

I don’t think Cat is back for S22. No I can’t prove it but I guess time will tell.

You act like she has no money. Cat is very comfortable.

[Guest]

I think someone else before actually said that Cat refused to do the Monica storyline, infact I think it's been brung up on a few occasions. The only reason I can think of why she would do that is because of some boundary she has set because of the relationship with E.R. but if it were to be the truth, why would she have eventually followed Natalie in the end? It doesn't make since.

If it’s true, I wouldn’t think it has anything to do with their relationship. Maybe she was upset with Grey’s trying to replace that relationship so quickly and that ER just became another diversity checkbox. A lot of fans were also upset about that (including myself) - so if it’s true, maybe that’s what it was.

Idk two years in plenty of time to leave her single after in my opinion. I really do think that the writers either have it out for cat or Amelia or maybe both because there really was no reason to introduce kai getting a job in London out of nowhere and then break them up so violently as a result of it.

[Guest]

I don’t think Cat is back for S22. No I can’t prove it but I guess time will tell.

I mean that’s my wish every season. Not because i want her to be jobless but because I think she deserves better but hey the salary is great so..

[Guest]

Speaking of great chemistries in Gey’s, Rewatched a few old episodes of GA and the writers were really so much better before. I forgot how Amelia and Callie had funny scenes and Amelia and Arizona had some really great moments too!

Just goes to show Cat has chemistry with everyone and everything. She had chemistry with Stefania too I thought. Like that playful flirty chemistry between Amelia and Carina. I'd say she probably has better chemistry with the women than she does with the men. Though I do like Amelia and Owen as friends chemistry. Cat was carrying 95% of the chemistry with McBeige. Cat had better chemistry with the cat and Kai's plants than McBeige. Cat could have chemistry with a brick wall. And obvious Cat and ER's chemistry is top tier, cannot be beat.

You mentioning Carina and I know I’ll probably get hate for that:

What if they bring back Carina as an OB and Single/separated and pair her up with Amelia??

I know the Marina fans will hate that (I’m am/was a fan of them) but I don’t see any Job for Maya in the greys world without the fire station - Ben was a doctor before so that was easy and Carina as a OB could come back to greys Sloan too. Of corse Maya could work somewhere else and just never shown at work but they could just share custody (with or without Maya been present) of kids and have Carina back. Not as a main but as a regular guest star and let her be with Amelia next season.

I mean a lot of people were asking for Carina and beside I think one mention that she was in Italy it’s not clear of her status so she could come back.

From those who are there (or at least didn’t officially leave) Carina could be the best fit for Amelia.

I feel like we'll never get Carina back (or at least it'll be a very long time until we do). It makes no sense to introduce a whole new OB resident like they did when they have a perfectly good attending in Carina who JoLink has already previously mentioned going to.

Like it or not Cat is probably using Grey's as a paycheck to some degree at this point just like Ellen is. You can't deny it is an amazing set up to only work a few hours a day and make millions when you have 3 kids at home and a lifestyle to maintain.

But they introduced the idea of Monmelia in the beginning of S20 which was pretty quick considering Kai left in late S19. Also in Grey’s time Kai has been gone less than a year.
I agree with the rest of your statement though.

Nobody is denying she has more privilege than a normal mom of 3 but she also does probably have a lot of expenses. Just a small list of those expenses

She's probably paying her ex spousal support and child support which can be and probably is a pretty penny a month

Therapy for her eldest (idk if this is true just heard it was)

Rebuilding costs if she's still rebuilding her old house

Speech and occupational therapy for Pippa (maybe)

an agent and a manager which would both get 10% of whatever she earns

A lawyer

House payments

Car payments

Cell phone bill.

[Guest]

Can we please not try to examine her finances, I just find it weird.

First of all no one is denying she has more privilege than the average person. She makes way more than the average person for one episode of greys alone. But that doesn’t mean that losing her job won’t affect her. Second of all, stop talking about her kids on here. It’s really weird and I don’t know when that became appropriate. Just stop.

Yeah I agree. I think people don't really realize that the more money you make and is in your bank account you need some type of constant money stream (billionaires excluded) because you're way of life will take more money to keep up with.

Although I do wonder how money she makes off of residuals because of Grey's being on streaming services because it's constantly one of the most streamed shows because that might be enough to cushion her for a while if she was to lose or quit her job

I really do think that the writers either have it out for cat or Amelia or maybe both because there really was no reason to introduce kai getting a job in London out of nowhere and then break them up so violently as a result of it.

I kinda think the writers had no plans for Amelia beyond the Parkinson's storyline in season 18. Like they've stated that Kaimelia was never planned. The writers just stumbled upon the relationship storyline and struck gold with Kaimelia. Thanks to Cat and ER's electric chemistry. The writers stuck to it for a bit, but didn't know how to write for Amelia, and by extent Kaimelia, so then proceeded to destroy them. I agree there was no real reason to break Kaimelia up twice and have Kai take a job in London out of the blue. Like where did it come from, after not seeing Kai for months. Kaimelia had legs on it and potential, it just needed to be fleshed out a bit more.

But once the writers got rid of Kai, they were back at square one with not knowing how to write for Amelia. They're back at her doing a similar storyline to the Parkinson's one, except it's Alzheimer's this time alongside Meredith again. And once in a while throw in an "interesting" case for Amelia that turns out to be a real dud. I mean the wrtiers can't even parallel the shooting storyline with the nephew to Amelia and by extent her history of it with Derek.

I don't think Cat would refuse any storyline, I mean there's probably a few that she's not too fond of, but she still did it anyway, cause it's her job. Maybe she was upset with the way Kaimelia was treated, and she has every right to be. But I don't think she'd make a huge fuss to the point of the writers barely giving her anything to work with. I just think the writers are incompetent. They're incompetent across the board. A lot of the other storylines are boring and generic too. It's just that some characters, cough cough Teddy and Owen cough, have more material to work with than others. And Amelia just literally get scraps at this point.

I think a large part of it as of late it that she's not in a relationship tbh. I mean Teddy and Owen getting an open relationship arc and Monica having a bit of a mini one episode arc with Jules sleeping with her ex before Amelia either gets a new love interest or a story not tied to Meredith is hilarious.

Like I get it if ellen really only wants to work with Cat anymore but still come on

Plus, she's got three kiddos to look after too, that's also quite the sum. It's fair to say she's more comfortable than the average middle class single mom with three kids. That being said, obviously don't want her to be out of a job. But she does deserve better than what Grey's is giving her story wise. But it is good steady income, it's good job security, so if she's not complaining, then neither should anyone else.

And I'm sure Cat makes bank with streaming and network residuals. Given how popular Grey's remains and how well it does in numbers especially on streaming. It might provide her a bit of cushion if she were to be between jobs. I mean, I see other actors who have been on less popular shows with shorter run life than Grey's who only literally do projects once every five years or so. They probably have a side hustle we don't see like ads and stuff like that. But with some hermit actors, some I've never seen them in even things like ads. So if they can afford to do a project like once every five years, then Cat could probably too if she desired.

You know I always wondered how Kate Walsh made money these days aside from her perfume line because she doesn't really do much anymore and when she does it's an indie or short film or guest spots on greys but I just remembered she would be getting residuals from Grey's and private practice too. And even though PP probably is streamed nowhere close to as much as Grey's is it would still be a mighty nice cushion.

I was using "few hours" liberally to begin with and to be fair one time Kate Walsh did say that she filmed everything within a day on set and lately Amelia has been in just as many scenes as Kate (whoa lso would've needed hair and makeup) is when she's back

[Guest]

I can totally understand how cat might not want to actually have scenes with a love interest because the way they got rid of ER was traumatic for her but it's absolutely wild to me that they can't even so much as give Amelia a one of line about how she didn't have scout last night so she went out and kissed someone at the bar.

Like fine if the writers don't want to give her a LI for whatever reason they might have but to have her be celibate for two years in a historically very horny show is wild

Well again…in Grey’s time it actually has been less than a year since Kai left. But yes, regardless of her maybe not wanting a LI right away, doesn’t mean they couldn’t have just wrote in a line or something about a brief hookup or something along those lines without us having to actually see it. They did it with Winston, and Jules.

There’s also reading of scripts and waiting.
So even if you aren’t filming your scenes, you still need to be on set.

But overall, the writing currently isn’t like very compelling. Others might get more minutes but storylines are boring for everyone. In terms of finances, it’s actually more common for people who make millions particularly in the entertainment industry and you’d be surprised how they eventually went bankrupt. And ordinary folks like us wonder how. Not that I’m saying Cat will but a steady job in a very unstable profession (when looks or popularity or age are main drivers) even for veteran players is actually rare.

From those who are there (or at least didn’t officially leave) Carina could be the best fit for Amelia.

I feel like we'll never get Carina back (or at least it'll be a very long time until we do). It makes no sense to introduce a whole new OB resident like they did when they have a perfectly good attending in Carina who JoLink has already previously mentioned going to.

I just wished if that was the plan they would have made a short storyline or mentioning like Carina moved to Italy, (they did mentioned Italy but I think it was for a holiday) is home with the baby or whatever and not have her disappear for now almost a year. Trying to remember if at the of station 19 final but beside the kids I don’t think they mentioned what she was doing work wise it. And even if not with Amelia I still wish she would be in some way shown. Don’t like that doctor Marcus

I can totally understand how cat might not want to actually have scenes with a love interest because the way they got rid of ER was traumatic for her but it's absolutely wild to me that they can't even so much as give Amelia a one of line about how she didn't have scout last night so she went out and kissed someone at the bar.

Like fine if the writers don't want to give her a LI for whatever reason they might have but to have her be celibate for two years in a historically very horny show is wild

Well again…in Grey’s time it actually has been less than a year since Kai left. But yes, regardless of her maybe not wanting a LI right away, doesn’t mean they couldn’t have just wrote in a line or something about a brief hookup or something along those lines without us having to actually see it. They did it with Winston, and Jules.

Although to be a little fair haven't Winston and Maggie been divorced for a while now like more than a year

First of all no one is denying she has more privilege than the average person. She makes way more than the average person for one episode of greys alone. But that doesn’t mean that losing her job won’t affect her. Second of all, stop talking about her kids on here. It’s really weird and I don’t know when that became appropriate. Just stop.

Yeah I agree. I think people don't really realize that the more money you make and is in your bank account you need some type of constant money stream (billionaires excluded) because you're way of life will take more money to keep up with.

Although I do wonder how money she makes off of residuals because of Grey's being on streaming services because it's constantly one of the most streamed shows because that might be enough to cushion her for a while if she was to lose or quit her job

Plus, she's got three kiddos to look after too, that's also quite the sum. It's fair to say she's more comfortable than the average middle class single mom with three kids. That being said, obviously don't want her to be out of a job. But she does deserve better than what Grey's is giving her story wise. But it is good steady income, it's good job security, so if she's not complaining, then neither should anyone else.

And I'm sure Cat makes bank with streaming and network residuals. Given how popular Grey's remains and how well it does in numbers especially on streaming. It might provide her a bit of cushion if she were to be between jobs. I mean, I see other actors who have been on less popular shows with shorter run life than Grey's who only literally do projects once every five years or so. They probably have a side hustle we don't see like ads and stuff like that. But with some hermit actors, some I've never seen them in even things like ads. So if they can afford to do a project like once every five years, then Cat could probably too if she desired.

You know I always wondered how Kate Walsh made money these days aside from her perfume line because she doesn't really do much anymore and when she does it's an indie or short film or guest spots on greys but I just remembered she would be getting residuals from Grey's and private practice too. And even though PP probably is streamed nowhere close to as much as Grey's is it would still be a mighty nice cushion.

Kate also has been in popular projects like 13 reasons why, the umbrella academy and Emily in Paris, so consistent-ish work in between the years too. There's bound to be some good residuals there. And she's just made a guest spot run on a new Australian tv show. So she's got cushion.

I agree with previous anon that if hermit actors can go for long periods without projects and just rely on residuals and maybe some side hustles, Cat definitely can as well. If she ever wants to have a small break when Grey's ends or when she chooses to leave, she'll be cushioned enough from at least PP and Grey's residuals.

To be fair umbrella, 13 and Emily in Paris are over for her now but I suppose she would still be getting residuals and I wouldn't necessarily call her recent appearance on the Aussie tv show a guest spot Rin because she was only in an episode but your point still stands.

She's also been helping get a studio up and running on western Australia which I'm sure she's getting payed somehow for

It's a little funny to me that because of streaming everyone on ths Grey's cast can still get payed for episodes that are 20 years old. Like obviously they deserve it but it was also obviously not a thing they would've ever imagined being possible

Okay tbf, I haven't had time to watch her new Aussie tv show, I've just seen the promos with her in it . So I don't know if it's a huge paycheck or not, but it's still a paycheck at least. But yeah, she's got a few other small side hustles in Western Australia going on which I'm sure she gets paid for as well.

And yeah, as long as Grey's still reruns on tv and is still up on streaming, everyone is still getting those residuals. Even if it's 1 cent.
