Seattle, we have a new Grey’s Anatomy character—and he might be Jo’s abusive husband. As if we weren’t already scarred from every other episode, this news promises to make things even more emotional.
TVLine reports that Glee star Matthew Morrison has been cast in a mystery role, which they’re pretty sure will end up being Jo’s hubby. That bit is not confirmed yet, but Instagram photos show Morrison on set filming scenes for the drama with Justin Chambers, who plays Jo’s sometimes love Alex.
ABC is staying silent for now regarding the casting. Keep in mind, though, that TVLine previously reported that Shonda Rhimes was looking for a Caucasian actor in his 40s to play a Big Bad type. Sound familiar?
While Morrison is not confirming the part either, he did tease his character’s name, Dr. Paul Stadler, on Instagram.
Matthew Morrison’s IG story confirmed it’s him in #GreysAnatomy episode 13.23!

The secrecy surrounding this situation is no surprise, given that Shonda is the queen of plot twists. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be waiting patiently to see if the talk is true, while also shoveling popcorn in your mouth because the anticipation is killer.
