She said, "I think there's something about them where fans sometimes feel like that might be inevitable, so they're getting ahead of it. So I don't think it surprises me because I think it's a logical place to go. Look, they're best friends, so I think emotionally—and I've always bveen a giant Alex fan, like from the beginning."

Beers explained that she understood the fan's desire to see Meredith and Alex together. She added, "From my perspective, I understand the reaction because I think you also just love these two people and you want them both to be happy, and that's a natural thing too. But then there's so many Alex-Jo fans—like, the Alex-Jo fans are crazyballs! So it's nice—there's a little bit of something for everybody right now."

However, fans will have to wait until season 13 to learn more abiut what is in store for the couple.
