As a fun story to end, Luddington revealed to me that the show's writers sometimes incorporate her ideas into the scripts! She revealed that one pivotal moment in Jo's narrative came directly from her. "One thing I had actually pitched to Krista at the beginning of last season, when Jo and Alex were broken up, is that she ends up sleeping with an intern," she said. "And that it's like this embarrassing mistake and she's trying to do it to get over Alex, and it goes horribly wrong." So that whole tryst with Glasses was originally something Luddington pitched herself!
