Get To Know The New Interns At Grey Sloan Memorial!

Now that were at the midseason break, here is everything we know, and what our thoughts are on the new Grey’s Anatomy interns!

Benson “Blue” Kwan 

Benson Kwan, also known as Blue, is portrayed by Harry Shum Jr. most of us know Harry from his character on Glee as Mike Chang, a dancer on the quieter side. His role in Grey’s is very different as he is fierce and competitive. This can either tick some people off as sometimes we want to just tell him to keep his mouth shut, or people really like his character because he’s entertaining and gives a little flavor. Most of us need to know a little bit more about Blue before we make an ultimate decision. How do we think he is going to be towards the rest of the show? Do we think his attitude will get him further or just put him down because he thinks he is the best in the new intern class? I guess we’ll have to find out. 

Simone Griffith

Simone Griffith is played by actress Alexis Floyd. Right off the bat, when we met Simone, she was a little bit all over the place. She was late on her first day and she was stressed out. We quickly learned a lot about her and her background. We sympathize with her when we find out that she lives with her grandmother who has Alzheimer’s and that her mother died while giving birth to her in the very hospital she works in now. This didn’t stop her from being a great character in other ways than emotional and tragic. We are excited to see more of her as she was a character that caught our eye from her first appearance. 

Lucas Adams

Lucas Adams piques our interest right away when we realize that he is part of the Shepherd family. Derek was his idol; we know that he isn’t naturally the smartest in the bunch but he works hard–and just like Merideth says, he reminds her of Amelia. Lucas makes us emotional because he is always so worried about what other people are going to think if they find out he is related to some of the attendings. His whole life he feels as if his accomplishments are never being celebrated because people think he gets ahead because of his family and he was very worried that would happen again at Grey Sloan. Lucas Adams’ character is portrayed by actor Niko Terho. 

Jules Millin 

Jules, Jules, Jules. The first thing we found out about Jules is that she slept with Link before she started her internship at Grey Sloan Memorial; giving a direct parallel to Meredith and Derek. However, it doesn’t seem that they will be going down the lover’s route as Link is very much in love with Jo and Jules doesn’t seem interested in him in the slightest. She is a very pretty girl, and she and Blue have some chemistry as well. We don’t know much about her yet but we are all excited to see more of her on the show!

Mika Yasuda

Mika Yasuda has a personality that can be a little much at times. She makes jokes about certain things and doesn’t always know when to stop. She is also very competitive, kind of similar to Blue in that way, and she is very confident in her skills. We know that she does have an emotional side as we saw in the first episode of the season. She is another one we haven’t gotten to know much about yet but we are interested in learning more about her in the rest of the season. 

Fans on Twitter are comparing this new intern class with the OGs. Simone is being categorized with Merideth Grey, Blue as Alex Karev, Jules as Izzie Stevens, Lucas is very much giving George O’Malley vibes, and Mika– as nothing less than Cristina Yang.
