Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) had a rough introductory season to "Grey's Anatomy." She moves to a new city, discovers her closest friend at her new hospital is actually her birth father, her birth mother was a legend who died of early onset Alzheimer's, her sister doesn't really want much to with her and then her adopted parents decide to get divorced.
Luckily, McCreary says that things are looking up in Maggie's future, or at least she's learning to deal with it in a much more light-hearted way.
"Her parents got divorced at the end of last season. She left home. Everything she left behind no longer exists. That causes some real inner turmoil for her," she tells Zap2it. "What we see from Maggie in the beginning of this season is a person who is experiencing new impulses and responding to new situations differently than we've seen her before."
According to the Season 12 premiere trailer that new way seems very physical for Maggie, who sucker punches a woman near the end of the clip.
"The truth is it comes in a total fear and terror. It's an impulse that she herself does not expect to feel," McCreary teases. "I don't want to give anything else away other that because the plot line of the episode is actually beautiful and powerful. Let's just say there is regret and shock."
Maggie will have help dealing with those new impulses from her half-sister Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Meredith's sister-in-law Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) to get each other through the day.
"They all sort of find that they need each other. The best thing for them is to be together in the house," she says. "The main cast is having more fun, for sure. We're laughing a lot more. There's this dynamic trio of these three sisters and we're going to watch them cut their teeth together."
The show going for a lighter tone in the doctor's personal lives does not mean it is safe to put away the Kleenex though. McCreary promises there are still events coming up in the show that will that familiar "Grey's" emotional tug.
"The heart of the show will always be with the ensemble cast, but we're dealing with these medical storylines that I think are going to pull people's heart strings and really keep the audience emotionally invested in how the doctors are in their professional lives," she says.
However, what she's most excited for is a storyline that has nothing to do with a patient or Maggie. McCreary's eyes are on Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson).
"I am so excited for audiences to see what happens with Miranda Bailey because if you remember last season she's up for the Chief [of Surgery] job. It is some of Chandra Wilson's finest work and it is so entertaining to see how that pans out," she says.
