Fans have speculated that Morrison could possibly be playing Jo Wilson's (Camilla Luddington) MIA and abusive estranged husband, who has been mentioned in passing. Considering he'll be sharing scenes with Alex, who's been off and on with Jo, outside of Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, that theory doesn't seem far-fetched.

ET caught up with Chambers recently, where he dished on the future of Jo and Alex's romantic relationship.

"I'm excited to see what happens with him and 'Jolex,'" Chambers said. "I think they really love each other. I know they have a lot of obstacles to go through but it will be interesting to see what conflicts, fires they can put out."

Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
