Grey’s Anatomy Season 22: Kwan And Mohanty’s Familiar Romance

by

After twenty seasons, Grey’s Anatomy has explored almost every possible storyline. While the show’s long-running characters sometimes feel stuck in repetitive plots, the newer cast members and a promising new romance offer a fresh and engaging experience for viewers.

The show frequently introduces new relationships and storylines, hoping some will resonate with viewers. Balancing the screen time and development of its original, long-standing actors – like Kevin McKidd as Owen Hunt and Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey – with newer cast members is a challenge. With several actors joining the show recently, Grey’s Anatomy is constantly evolving.

The newest group of doctors, who started as interns at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy, have brought a fresh energy to the show, reminding viewers of what made the series so popular in the beginning. With characters like Benson Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.) and Jules Millin (Adelaide Kane), the show is exploring new relationships and storylines.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 22‘s Fall Finale Set Up Kwan’s Romance With Mohanty

The Pair’s Tentatively Seemed Like They Could Be A Match

Throughout his time on Grey’s Anatomy, Kwan’s development as a character has been the main focus, more so than his love life. While his relationship with Molly Tran, his former fiancée who suffered amnesia due to an accident he unintentionally contributed to, has been explored, most of his storylines have centered on revealing his personality and how he works as a doctor.

Season 22 of Grey’s Anatomy featured a new character, Dr. Kavita Mohanty, played by Anita Kalathara. She’s a Plastics fellow, and early in the season, Kwan started working with her. Their relationship got off to a rocky start when Kwan mistakenly thought she was an intern, but they eventually began to connect. Throughout the first half of the season, Kwan and Mohanty developed a competitive dynamic with hints of romantic interest.

At the close of the episode, Mohanty and Kwan unexpectedly shared a passionate kiss in an elevator after barely speaking all shift. As fans of Grey’s Anatomy know, important moments often happen in those elevators, and this kiss felt like the start of a romance that had been missing from the show for a long time.

Kwan & Mohanty’s Relationship Often Feels Reminiscent Of An Old Grey’s Flirtation

Alex Karev’s Minor Moments With Addison Montgomery Never Got Off The Ground

The connection between Kwan and Mohanty, before they kissed, felt similar to the early interactions between Addison Montgomery and Alex Karev on Grey’s Anatomy. Like that pairing, it involved a more experienced person and a sharp, determined intern challenging each other, and it hinted at a potentially interesting story that deserved to be developed further, even if briefly.

Kwan’s character is direct and sometimes comes across as tough, but she shares Alex’s determined spirit, which always made him a compelling part of the show. While we’re still getting to know Mohanty, her confidence and willingness to speak her mind bring to mind Addison’s strong personality. This new pairing on Grey’s Anatomy could echo the connection they once had.
