With Lexie's (Chyler Leigh) death, Teddy's (Kim Raver) departure, and now the loss of Mark (Eric Dane), it seems like the other Grey's Anatomy docs should be out of the woods, which is especially notable for Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) lovers. After all, how many fan favorites can showrunner Shonda Rhimes cut at once?

However, before you sit back and relax, basking in the assurance that Arizona will live on, take a look at Shonda's recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.?In this interview, Shonda confirms that Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Derek (Patrick Dempsey), and Cristina (Sandra Oh) all survive — and then notably refuses to weigh in on Arizona's fate, begging off with a "I don't know that I want to talk about Arizona."

But talk she does, in vague and frightening terms. When asked if Arizona might be leaving, she notes "we don't make decisions lightly and I certainly don't make these decisions lightly," adding, "I really try to stick to what's best for story and what's best for the show and it's really sometimes difficult to do that but it's also sometimes really gratifying."

She also notes that Arizona's story will "impact [Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez)] hugely. We're going to spend a lot of time with Callie this season, there's a lot of story to be told there." And, of course, she emphasizes that more deaths or departures are "possible."

Is it just us, or does her language sound very ominous? The way Shonda talks about not making decisions lightly and emphasizes difficult choices made for the sake of the story raises some major red flags — that's the same kind of language she used when discussing Lexie's death.?Of course, Shonda Rhimes is a tricky woman, so she might intentionally be playing up the possibility that Arizona could die so that fans are extra relieved when she survives.

What do you think: Is Arizona really in danger, or is Shonda just messing with us?

滬江娛樂快訊：《實習醫(yī)生格蕾》（Grey's Anatomy）先是送別了萊西（Lexie）與泰迪（Teddy），接著又痛失馬克（Mark），這樣一來，劇中其他醫(yī)生很可能都將脫離險境，這一點正是亞利桑那（Arizona）的粉絲們最關心的。然而更值得關注的問題則是本劇總監(jiān)桑德·萊姆斯（Shonda Rhimes）到底準備一次性“砍掉”幾個角色？

至于第九季中是否還有亞利桑那，桑德最近接受《好萊塢記者報》（The Hollywood Reporter）的訪問時也許透露出了一點蛛絲馬跡。桑德在本次采訪中確認梅爾迪斯（Meredith），德里克（Derek）與克里斯汀娜（Cristina）三人獲救，之后便以“關于亞利桑那，我不知道該說些什么?！睘橛蓤詻Q不肯透露亞利桑那的情況。

不過桑德含糊的言辭似乎暗示著什么壞消息。當被問到亞利桑那會不會離開時，桑德說：“我們不會輕易做決定，并且我也絕對不會輕率地決定這件事?！彼S即又補充說，“我的出發(fā)點一直都是為了讓劇情更精彩，讓劇集更好看。有時候真的很難堅持下去，但是堅持下來以后的結果會令人非常滿意?！鄙５逻€提到亞利桑那是否生還“將對劇情產(chǎn)生巨大影響（特別是凱麗·托雷斯/Callie Torres）。這一季中許多情節(jié)都是圍繞凱莉展開的，會有說不完的故事?！碑斎?，桑德同時也強調更多角色“可能”離開或死亡。

是只有我們覺得她的這些話聽上去很耳熟，還是她真的以前也說過同樣的話？像不會輕易做決定還有強調是出于對劇情的考慮，才不得不痛下決心這樣的字眼貌似也曾被桑德用于解釋萊西死亡的原因。如此看來，這些話無疑不是什么好預兆。但從另一方面來說，桑德·萊姆斯是個鬼才，所以她很可能是故意夸大亞利桑那遇難的可能性以保持神秘感。

你對此又有何見解？是亞利桑那真的處于危險之中還是桑德在賣關子？《實習醫(yī)生格蕾》第九季將于9月27日周四晚9點（東部/太平洋時間）在ABC臺首播。
