Thanks to @lindsaydp1 for pointing us in the direction of a great new interview with Jessica Capshaw, where she dishes on Arizona and her relationship on Grey's Anatomy with Sara Ramirez's Callie.
Here's an excerpt in which she tells TVGuide.com about Arizona's sexuality, her intimate future with Callie and if a wedding could be coming up for them.
TVGuide.com: What's in store for the future of Callie and Arizona's relationship?
Jessica Capshaw: This season has been about cementing a very mature and grounded relationship and taking it forward. This is a drama, of course; there will be conflict, but for the time being, they're enjoying being in a relationship that seems stable.
TVG: We have not seen Callie and Arizona get intimate this season. Sara Ramirez said they probably are. What's your take on that?
JC:
Definitely, of course it's happening. They're in a committed relationship. It's like the beginnings of any relationship, but I think they're very much together and all of that is happening. I'm sure that we'll have our time.
TVG: Callie has vacillated about her sexuality. Could that be an issue that comes up?
JC: There's definitely ample opportunity for that to happen. Obviously the halls of Seattle Grace have been well known for missteps. These are doctors, they're in intense situations and their personal lives follow suit. They make mistakes. They kiss the wrong people, they sleep with the wrong people, they sleep with the right people, they kiss the right people. We get to see how things unfold and if there's forgiveness. Callie could find another guy or girl. Her playing field is vast.
TVG: Will Sloane (Eric Dane) and Arizona butt heads because they've slept with the same woman?
JC:In a way it's implied that they might. Whenever there's been a chance to play that I am intimidated by him or being standoffish, I've always chosen to make it very playful. It's much more Arizona's style to find it very amusing.
TVG: Could there be wedding bells for Callie and Arizona?
JC: There's probably a lot more stuff that has to happen before that happens. Listen, being that I've been married for five years now and I've been with my husband for nearly eight, you have to make sure you're with the right person and you need the groundwork to be laid. I don't think they're going to get married just to get married. As Arizona goes, I think she has incredible discipline and she does, as you said, have a very strict moral compass and marriage would not be something she would jump into without giving it a great amount of thought.
So it appears that Calzona will be getting more intimate emotionally, but perhaps not physically — yet. And as far as marriage goes, it doesn't appear to be in the near future, which is actually a good thing, at least to me. It's more fun to watch lesbian relationships play out than go straight to the, uh, straight-ness of marriage and babies.
But I could certainly do with some more bedroom scenes. I mean, they might be in the "beginnings," but we call that "the honeymood period." Know what I'm saying?
OMG
i read the title as 'Jessica Capshaw dies..'
i was gonna be like

I nearly turned into an angry lesbian then, I thought she said 'Arizona could find another guy or girl. Her playing field is vast'
Jessica is so lovely, plus isn't her step dad like, Steven Spielberg? What a family to marry into. It's a shame she's taken. And straight. And very much out of my league but a girl can dream.
OMG same! ha. I loveeeee
OMG same! ha. I loveeeee Jessica though. Serious, she's my favorite actress right now. And her character Arizona is totally amazing too.
I love her. Like, a lot.

The second picture
Tonight's episode [[possible spoilers]]
About that hat...
Maybe we'll see Callie singing??
Grey's scriptwritters, please, hear my plea: Let us enjoy Sarah Ramírez singing a love song to Arizona.
Yours, Lin.
More action!
Grr Face. *spoiler from tonight's episode*
I'm hoping that Shonda and Co. aren't just screwing with us again. I really, really am. They've started to win me over again, and I'm loving Arizona. Especially after tonight. However, if my girlfriend went through what Arizona went through in this episode... I'd certainly be kissing her. Or hugging her. Or holding her hand. Or something that implies more than just a "Hey, buddy!" relationship.
That second picture? Didn't happen. Why?

2nd picture
*Should* be from tonight's episode
I was most surprised
It is weird...
Because you would have seen them more than sit close to each other. Dude, when was the last time we saw them kiss? or even hug, touch or anything that normal couples do? I dig them totally, I enjoy their relationship but I would like to *see* more of the normal intimacy couple things. It's not enough to imply it only...

quick kiss
It's nice she's optimistic.
are you kidding me?!
She says 'I love you' and they dont even kiss?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
they better finish that scene
i'm loving Arizona. tonights episode was great - probably one of my favorites. Maybe thats because Meredith was hardly in it...
Fade to black *****SPOILERS*****
At the end of the ep (and one helluva hard, hard day) when Arizona arrived home to her flat, there was Callie...
She looked so lovingly at her sleepyhead Callie, and when she sat up, Arizona said "I love you" & was LITERALLY on the edge of my seat, waiting...
waiting...
WAITING...
...watching with SUCH intensity at Callie's facial expression after Arizona's "I love you", holding my breath, thinking "c'mon Callie, say it back, say ANYthing dammit!!"
The suspense was worth it -- the fade to black was tension filled and I have to say oddly satisfying. And the lingerie (and doughnuts) well, how could you not love that? *sighs*
Mucho screen time for Arizona & Callie -- Shonda's pencilled into my "good books". For the time being (I'm also aware of that injurious shoe, Deco *w*)
she says ....
in love
Great Episode last night.
i LOVE that show
I love that show, not only just because there are lesbian... it because it is like learning from each other and love each other, forgive each other, express to each other, and be real to each, I mean everything. That's what I like about that, and plus that I like to see how the doctor do surgery on the patient it fascinate me. If I'm the doctor and doing the surgery on patient I might as well passed out. LOL. But yea I love that show and I just start to watch about month ago! Damn, how could I be missing out all that show! I'm mad about that. I always thought it was lame like ER, but NOOOOO it way way better than ER! I love it.
PS. I love the ending where she said I love you... damn made me miss my girl so much! I cannot wait to be with my girl seriously!
What are they afraid of???
Maybe they don't realize how many of us are sitting in our living rooms screaming at the TV everytime Calzona is on the screen? It's awkward at best and PAINful at worst. Are they really afraid that their fan base is full of people who will stop watching if they kiss? I mean REALLY.
