A lot of fans are excited for Grey's Anatomy season 16, especially since it ended with a huge cliffhanger. There are some obvious questions left in the previous season, like whether or not Meredith will go to prison and what happened to Jackson. But, there's also another important question that should be answered, which is the status of Alex and Jo.
In season 15 finale, it seems like the two were in better footing and Jo decided to go to therapy to be better, especially with what she learned about her mother. Right now, it is still uncertain what will happen to the character in Grey's Anatomy season 16, but executive producer Krista Vernoff said Jo and Alex would grow closer because of all the things they've gone through.
Alex, in particular, will use this opportunity to work on some of his demons as well. Vernoff hopes the therapy would bring Jo back and that Alex will heal from all of the wounds that keep repeating - which is choosing women going to some mental-health crises. The showrunner added she wanted to see that story will be complete for him, and that Jo will come back to him in a way that's beautiful.
However, Vernoff also noted they were not yet in the writers' room for Grey's Anatomy season 16, so the fate of these two characters is still up on the air right now. Some fans wanted to see Alex and Jo getting through all of their struggles, and they will eventually use this to move forward and help each other and others as well.
Alex and Jo are caring people, and they have already faced many struggles to be where they are now, so they deserve the best in the world. But, since Grey's Anatomy season 16 is still on the way, fans need to wait a little bit more to find out what's coming for them in the future. It is possible these two would be caught up in other problems, but they could get through it in the end.
Meanwhile, it was also revealed recently that Jesse Williams would reprise his role as Jackson in Grey's Anatomy season 16. The character suddenly disappeared into a fog at the end of season 15 finale, leaving Maggie confused and wondering what happened to him. An ABC representative revealed the actor would return in the upcoming season, though his fate remains uncertain as they didn't comment beyond that.
