Ask Ausiello 3/17/10 a bit of Grey's 

Question: I want some juicy Grey’s Anatomy news, not somewhat juicy, but very juicy. C’mon you can do it! —Sarah
Ausiello: We’ll find out in an upcoming episode that a major character — one of the original Fab Five — grew up in foster care.


my thought is, we know that Mer grew up living w/her mom. we know george was with his awesome nice family. cristina lived with her mom (right?). and izzie was in the trailer park. so that leaves alex right?!!! :)

I think its alex too...we know his dad was an alcoholic who abused him and his mom, so yeah there's a high chance that he was shipped off to foster care! And since we'll be seeing his brother soon, some skeletons are bound to come out of the closet!
