Sara asked Kristan Higgins:

Ian McFarland is such an interesting character! (I'm biased. He's my all time favourite. I picture Kevin McKidd, can you blame me?) Can I ask what inspired him?

Kristan Higgins Oh, I love Kevin McKidd! Nice! Ian was one of those characters who sort crept into my consciousness bit by bit. I wanted to write a vet (because I love my vet, the real life Dr. Kumar), and I thought a guy who was good with animals might not be so good with humans (unlike Dr. Kumar, who is great with all of us). I also loved the opposites attract thing with Callie and Ian. That scene where they meet in the DMV sets up a lot of their dynamic, don't you think? Thanks, Sara!
