Kevin McKidd has admitted that he loves the passion with which fans of the show follow his characters on screen romance.

In an interview with Metro, McKidd said that viewers are very much behind Owen’s relationship with Cristina.

“It’s all about relationships with Grey’s Anatomy and people are fans of certain relationships,” he said.

“There’s a very strong fanbase for the relationship between my character Owen and Cristina, played by Sandra Oh. It’s interesting to see the passion people have for it.”

On the show’s continued success McKidd added:

“It’s still one of the top dramas in America and doesn’t show any signs of losing popularity. It’s nice to know your job isn’t going anywhere for a little while.”
