Sarah Drew said on Tommy DiDario's Instagram show that she wants aJapril spinoff to be "sexier."- The actor returned to "Grey's" for the 400th episode last week, revealing Japril was back together.
"
The actor made the revelation on Tommy DiDario's "Let's Stay Together" Instagram Live show, at the 8:10 minute mark of the conversation, when asked what her ideal spinoff show would look like.
"In my dream world, it would be like a 10-episode kind of show where we could be somewhere that allows it to be a little darker, and a little grittier, a little sexier. That would be fun," Drew said.
"And I think that's what's really fun about these two characters...they're both right now kind of really living in their purpose," she continued. "And they're out to change the medical field and to fight for medical justice. We haven't seen that out in the world yet. So, I think it could lend itself to really interesting, fun stories to tell."
Drew and her Japril costar,
Jackson and April's relationship status was kept secret until the very end of the hour when they made quick comments about Jackson's mother Catherine Avery (Debbie Allen) before sharing a kiss. The status of their relationship is technically unknown.
Previously, viewers saw the two jet off to Boston after Williams' Jackson decided to go to Boston to run his family's foundation and dedicate his life to providing better medical care to marginalized communities. He then convinced April to go with him so he could maintain his relationship with their daughter, Harriet.
Although it's unclear how Japril fell in love again while living in Boston, Drew said on "Let's Stay Together" that she'd love to find out in a flashback episode centered on Japril reconnecting.
"I want to see that. I want to show that, I want to play those scenes. I think that would be really fun," she said around the 18:30 mark of the conversation.
"Every time I go on set, I have cast and crew telling me: 'Wouldn't it be so fun to pop our head into Boston and see what's going on over there?'"
Drew said her response is always, "Let me know and I'll show up."
Drew said currently there's no official plans for a Japril spin-off
The actor shared that as of now, there are no official plans for a Japril spinoff, adding that "it's all just living in the hearts and minds of the fandom" but "there's always a chance" it could happen.
The actor added that plans for spin-off series can happen "very fast" and that "nobody says anything until everything is decided upon."
Still, Drew said she's open to going back to "Grey's Anatomy" for a story arc, but "probably not full time."
In a joint interview with Drew for Insider back in December, Williams told Insider that fans who want the Japril spinoff should "keep plugging away and screaming about it."
The "Take Me Out" star said he wanted Japril's reconciliation to occur in a way that was "not rushed" and even had ideas about their living situation in Boston. "I think that they probably moved there with separate apartments and she's always at my place," he said.
"His is way nicer. He just has more money," Drew quipped.
