Grey's Anatomy - Season 9 - Chandra Wilson Interview

The Hollywood Reporter: How will the CDC investigation impact Bailey? Knowing Bailey, we can't imagine she'd take it sitting down.

Chandra Wilson: She has sat down, that's the problem. The CDC has to come in and do their due diligence and get to the source of where the infection is coming form. From Bailey's point of view, that doesn't have anything to do with her. Why she would even be considered as a possibility to why something has gone wrong -- she has no understanding of that whatsoever. That affects the relationships she has with the rest of her colleagues. In her opinion, they're busy being board members as opposed to being her champion.

THR: Speaking of board members, Jackson (Jesse Williams) warns the staff to keep their distance, how will Bailey handle being shut out?
Wilson: She's not going to handle that at all; that's being incredibly disloyal. Their priorities are all in the wrong place. If this had happened to any of her other colleagues, she probably would have told them, "Sit down for a minute, let the investigation run its course and then get back to work and call it a day." But she can't take her own advice. The whole thing is very personal to her, she's one of a few of her colleagues that doesn't have a financial stake in the hospital. She has no job security and this really rattles her; the fact that she has to sit back and allow something to potentially affect her career.

THR: Which of the board members will support her in this? Who besides Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is on her side?
Wilson: They all support her and are on her side but unfortunately they have to do their job first: they have to carry their title first. She can't see where their support is because they have to put on the suit and be board members for Grey Sloan Memorial.
