A new romance might be in the air when Greys Anatomy returns.

After the season 13 finale hinted at a potential romance for Jackson (Jesse Williams) and Maggie (Kelly McCreary), fans of the ABC medical drama have spent the hiatus wondering if Japril is out and Jaggie Mackson? is in. April (Sarah Drew) pointed out the potential in the finale, telling Maggie she believes her ex-husband and the cardio doc who grew close when Jackson treated Maggies dying mother have feelings for one another.

What April said to her literally had not crossed her mind, so I think its a question shes grappling with whether theres any truth to that, and if there is, what to do with it, and if theres not, how to manage if theres truth for Jackson in that, McCreary tells EW. Shes on fertile ground trying basically to find out whether April was onto something shes unaware of.

When Greys Anatomy returns this fall, the series will pick up right where the finale left off following the hospital explosion, which means Aprils words will still be ringing in Maggies ears. So, will Maggie take a shot with Jackson? The truth is that still remains to be seen, McCreary says. Whats ironic is that all of the reasons the fans might not want Jackson and Maggie to get together are the exact things that make really great drama. Thats true of life, too, the stuff that makes things a little bit messier is the stuff we think we dont want, but ultimately makes us stronger, so if thats where it goes, then theres probably good story to mine and good lessons to teach there about humanity and god knows what else.

And if it doesnt go there, McCreary continues, theres still so much potential in that relationship because Jackson and Maggie havent spent a lot of meaningful time together, April and Maggie havent spent a lot of meaningful time together those are new relationships that are absolutely as worthy of exploration as Amelia and Maggie and Meredith and Maggie, so why not?

Greys Anatomy returns with a two-hour premiere on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
