Caterina has played this fan-favorite character for about 14 years, appearing on Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy, and Station 19, becoming a beloved staple in the Shondaland universe. Her character means so much to so many people for a variety of different reasons, one being that she has become the longest running queer character on television. Today, she opens up about her journey playing a character that is so close to her heart, the importance of her queer love story with Dr. Kai, her hopes for the future with that relationship, how she treats her character’s struggle with addiction with thoughtfulness and care, her love for the spin-off series Station 19, how she has created a positive relationship with grief, taking time to nurture her spirit so that she can be the best version of herself, and what we can look forward to when the new season of Grey’s Anatomy drops on March 14th.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He takes his audiences on a special journey with every song he performs. In this conversation, Bublé opens up about his new whiskey company Fraser & Thompson, the sentimental meaning behind the name, how creating a whiskey brand is not much different than how he creates his music, working with the legendary Cher to re-record his song “Home,” and how important it is to be living in the now. https://fraserandthompsonwhiskey.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
