Former Grey's Anatomy actors Camilla Luddington, Jessica Capshaw, and Chyler Leigh reveal a surprising tradition of the show's early days: no script access until the table read.
Camilla Luddington has revealed that previously, she and her Grey's Anatomy cast members weren't allowed to read their script ahead of the table read , which she found 'terrifying.' The actor joined the cast of the long-running ABC series as Dr. Josephine 'Jo' Wilson in 2021. The show first aired in 2005 and is now in its 21st season.
Luddington shared her thoughts on the unwritten script rule during an episode of the Call It What It Is podcast she hosts with her friend and former Grey's Anatomy actor Jessica Capshaw. Capshaw played pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins until March 2018, having starred in 11 seasons. The guest for the episode published on December 9 was former cast member Chyler Leigh, who played Lexie Grey. During the conversation, she explained that you wouldn't find out if you'd been killed off until the table read. Newsweek emailed Shondaland, the television production that produces Grey's Anatomy, for comment on Tuesday outside of normal business hours. 'The scripts, you didn't read them until you got to the table, so everything was cold, so we had no idea what was happening. And some people would just be like, killed off and you'd find that out ,' Leigh said. Luddington responded: 'It has changed now, now we get them ahead of time, but when I started this was the same. It was terrifying; and when I started I remember there being a rule where you couldn't even like, sit with your script and quickly go through and look for your stuff. To me, I was told that was a no-no, that I couldn't even flip through.' The women joked that they would want to read the script ahead of time to find out whether they had been killed off. Capshaw added that if you were raising young children, you wouldn't mind if you appeared less in an episode
