Kim Raver Dishes on Teddy, Owen and Cristina

at .

Teddy is still in love with Owen.

Kim Raver is just gonna put that out there now. However, there is more to this "love triangle" dynamic than meets the eye, and the new cast member insists Teddy is no home wrecker.

"I think [Teddy] is still in love with [Owen]," Kim told E! News. "But what's so great about Teddy, and for fans, is that she knew Owen was engaged while they were in Iraq, and she never did anything, and that's what I think is so amazing about her."

"She's not going to start doing that kind of thing. Then on top of it, she has such enormous respect for Cristina because she's so good, and she's also her mentor. So while I think she's still in love with Owen, she's going to have to figure out how to deal."

On her newly-confirmed series-regular status, Kim Raver joked, "I was just telling my mother that for once she doesn't have to worry about my show being canceled. And I can't imagine a better show to be a part of right now than this one."

Here are her responses to some fan questions:

Dr. Altman

Q: If Cristina and Owen are moving on with their relationship, is Teddy going to still be a threat to them romantically? Professionally, will she be able to put her feelings aside?

A: What's also interesting is not just [Teddy] being in love with Owen, but how she sees Cristina being her mentor, and that relationship really evolves, and I just love it. I love working with Sandra, as well as Kevin and the rest of the cast, but Sandra and I have this cool, interesting dynamic, and I know how much the fans just love and adore Cristina and how Sandra plays this character. There's an interesting chemistry between the two of our characters, too.

Q: We Grey's Anatomy fans can be passionate when it comes to Cristina and Owen. Were you worried about how you would be received?

A: Yes! I was really afraid of that because I think there's a really great dynamic between Cristina and Owen. But most of the feedback has been, "Wow, we're really glad to see that it's not what I thought!" I think they sense that I'm not there to break up [Cristina and Owen's] relationship, but that it will get more complicated, more complex. I think Shonda and the rest of the writing staff do a great job at having her be more than just an ex-girlfriend coming in.

Q: Will [Teddy] get her own storyline with the other characters?

A: I would say yes. I'm already starting to build other relationships, not boyfriend-girlfriend, but other relationships are starting to evolve.

Q: Will your character, Audrey, ever be back on 24?

A: Hmmm, that's such a tough one. There's talk sometimes that it will happen; then there's talk that it probably won't happen. I love Audrey. I love Jack [Kiefer Sutherland] and Audrey. I think right now this is such a new and exciting time for me at Grey's that it won't happen now, but with 24, never say never. People are dead on that show, and then they're alive. But probably not now.

Q: It seems like things won't work out with Owen, so will Teddy hook up with another doctor? Everyone hooks up with everyone at Seattle Grace.

A: I was thinking about that! Who do the fans think Teddy should be with? Let's take a poll. They probably know better than me.
