At the 2023 Paleyfest in Los Angeles, prior to the release of the "Grey's Anatomy" Season 19 finale, Chris Carmack and Camilla Luddington were interviewed by ExtraTV. When asked what she wants to happen in Season 20, Luddington said she wanted her character Jo to find love. Carmack quipped, "You don't have to look very far, I mean," referring to his character Link as the answer. Luddington brought up how Jo told Link she loved him and he didn't say it back, prompting Carmack to reply, "I was frozen! I was frozen!"
Carmack was open about his desire for the show to explore more of Link and Jo. He said, "I think, and I hope, the story of Link and Jo has a lot more in front of it. So I think there's a lot more to tell there, and I can't imagine them not exploring it further."
In an interview with ET at the same event, Carmack also spoke about how no matter what happens, Link and Jo will support and care for each other. He hinted that some things may be answered down the line, and it turns out he was foreshadowing the end of Season 19.
