Kelly McCreary on Maggie and Winston’s Future
In a recent interview with Soaps, Kelly McCreary, who portrays Maggie, shared insights into where the couple stands. She emphasized that Maggie is a “very pragmatic” character who holds love and respect for her ex, Winston Ndugu. According to McCreary, there are no lingering “hard feelings” between them. Both characters have “made their decisions” and “moved on” in their respective lives.
When asked about their breakup during an interview with PEOPLE, McCreary clarified that it was not messy at all. “They didn’t leave a lot of wreckage or poison behind. They reconciled and shared an understanding.” She described their separation as amicable, stating, “They really empathized with each other and both felt heartbroken over it.” This mutual respect keeps the possibility of future collaboration open, with McCreary suggesting, “At the very least, there’s potential for them to work together again. Beyond that, I think anything is possible.”
What’s Next for Maggie and Winston?
Despite the potential for future interactions, McCreary stressed that both Maggie and Winston have moved forward in their personal lives. Maggie’s decision to become a single mother through a donor indicates her focus on priorities beyond romance. While a reunion isn’t entirely out of the question, a rekindled romance seems unlikely.
As Season 22 unfolds, the conversation around Maggie and Winston continues to engage fans. Their friendly split in Season 20 allowed both characters to pursue their individual paths—Maggie is back in Seattle and expecting, while Winston is committed to his career at Grey Sloan Memorial.
Farewell and Future Speculations
Kelly McCreary was a series regular on Grey’s Anatomy for nine seasons before her departure in 2023, with her last episode airing that year. Following her exit, there was speculation about her return to the show full-time. The confirmation of her comeback in Season 22 thrilled fans, but those hoping for a romantic reunion with Winston might be left feeling disappointed, as it appears that chapter of their lives has closed.
As we eagerly anticipate the next episodes, it’s clear that the legacy of Maggie and Winston’s relationship will continue to spark discussion among Grey’s Anatomy enthusiasts. Will they ever find their way back to each other? Only time will tell!
