Grey's Anatomy has a lot of plots and arcs that need to be resolved or at least addressed in its upcoming Season 17.

Shondaland's medical drama Grey's Anatomy has had an epic run of 16 seasons and is all set to start production on its 17th season this year. Ever since the show started back in 2005, Shonda has thrown at us devastating deaths, heartbreaks, and lots of sex...like a lot of it, and season 16 was no exception.

A lot of curious things happened in Season 16 of Grey's --Amelia hooked up with Link, the ridiculously handsome Ortho Chief at Grey-Sloan, and got knocked up. Of course, she, rather characteristically, had no clue whose child it was which led to a great deal of drama. In other news, Teddy suddenly threw all caution to the wind and cheated on Owen, and Meredith found herself connecting with the cute new Chief of Pediatrics, Dr. Cormac Hayes. In Season 17, there are several storylines that need to be resolved or at least, built on, if nothing else.

Grey-Sloan's feisty Chief of Surgery, Miranda Bailey, found herself getting attached to a young homeless boy who had been doing the rounds in foster homes. She decided to offer him a home so that he would have a place to live in and folks to come back to during vacations.

In Season 17, it would be great to watch Miranda and Ben attempting toparent a teenage kid along with their own son, Tuck. Tuck and Joey already seem to have hit it off; so half the battle is won already. All that remains to be seen now is whether the couple can manage to keep the momentum going and build a heartwarming rapport with Joey.

Andrew DeLuca started showing mental health symptomsin season 16--now whether that was the result of the abnormal amount of stress that the doctors in the show undergo, or whether he was already genetically predisposed to it is another matter. But Grey's hinted it could be the latter since apparently his father too had similar mental health conditions.

A few storylines remained unfinished in Season 16 as production shut down hurriedly dueto the global pandemic, and De Luca's mental health was one of them. In the season's unplanned finale, the young resident was shown in a very fragile condition and Meredith took him under her wing. Season 17 needs to show how DeLuca is dealing with the situation.

Another subplot of Season 16 that remained unaddressed was that of the young patient, Sydney, and her aunt who De Luca suspected was involved inhuman trafficking. Although the hospital staff failed to take him seriously at the time, the writers hinted that the woman who pretended to be the aunt was indeed dubious.

It was heartbreaking to watchDeLuca unravel and the rest of the doctors forming a human chain around him instead of the so-called aunt who they thought were innocent. The creators need to hark back to that episode in Season 17 and give closure to the audience about whether or not De Luca was right after all.

Meredith's half-sister Maggie was introduced way back in Season 10 but unfortunately, the creators haven't been able to give her personal life a direction.She just hovers around, overthinkingand often irritated. Although she excels at her job, she seems to fail miserably in matters of the heart.

She was first paired with De Luca for a brief while, which honestly didn't make sense, and then she started dating Jackson Avery, which was a complete disaster. In Season 16 she was shown connecting with a former acquaintance Winston Ndugu,in a medical conference. Maggie needs to finally find some peace in her otherwise rocky love life and since rumors are that actor Anthony Hill who plays Ndugu has been upgraded to full-time status in Season 17, one can hope that would turn out significant for Maggie.

Grey-Sloan's former Chief of Surgery, who came out of a serious cobalt poisoning in Season 16, needs to get back with his estranged wife, Catherine. Period.

The elderly couple has had a lot of drama in both their personal and professional lives. And it was heartwarming to watch them find their way to each other in Season 11. But their relationship hit the rocks soon after and the two have lately been on the verge of separation. Here's hoping Season 17 sees them kiss and make up, literally.

Amelia Shepherd has been through enough already. From waking up beside a dead boyfriend to becoming drug-dependent to losing her older brother in a car accident, and being diagnosed with an enormous brain tumor, Derek's little sister has seen her share of ups and downs.

In Season 16, Amelia was finally shown to find a wee bit of stability as she hooked up with Atticus Lincoln and gave birth to their child. While one can only imagine how daunting bringing up a little kid might be for someone as scatterbrained asher, it's possible she might consider settling down with Link, married or otherwise, and finally pull it together.

Teddy Altmanwas shown harboringfeelings for trauma surgeon and then Chief of Surgery, Owen Hunt, even when she first joined the hospital. However, although Owen acknowledged her feelings at the time, he chose Christina over her and their sentiments towards one anotherremained unresolved.However, now that Teddy has had Owen's baby, she suddenly finds herself defying all logic and being drawn to Tom Koracic, the arrogant neurosurgeon with a tragic past, whom everyone hates. Well, everyone except her.

Teddy, who was always shown to be a mature, rational person, albeit impulsive at times -- she did marry a patient on an impulse -- ended up cheating on Owen with Tom, in a peculiar turn of events. Since Tom seems to really love herand Owen is confused as usual,maybe Teddy should make a run for it while there is still time. At any rate, she needs to figure out who she wants to be with.

Owen was shown traumatized when he (accidentally) found out that Teddy had cheated on him right before their wedding. Of course, fans might remember that Owen had himself cheated on Christina at one time, but it seems unlikely that his tension with Teddy would resolve itself any time soon.

Owen has been a confused soul for a lot of the time on the show, not knowing what he wanted with life. Yet, in Season 16 things fell apart shortly after he finally seemed to come to terms with what he wanted and proposed to Teddy, something he should have done at least two seasons earlier. Owen finally needs to face facts and fix things, unless it is too late already.

Dr. Cormac Hayes, cute and Irish, is the latest addition to the cast, and Grey'shas been setting him up as Meredith's potential new lover. Hayes has a tragic history himself--his wife died when she got cancer from a botched surgery and left him with two young kids.

RELATED:Grey's Anatomy: The 10 Best Couples, Ranked

Fans would be waiting for Meredith to hook up with Hayes in Season 17; the two would be perfect for each other since they both lost the love of their lives and are now mature enough to deal with a relationship at this stage in their lives.

Fans gave their heart to little Zozo the moment she was placed in Derek's arms years ago. Zola is now older, the oldest among Meredith's kids and it's time she had her own arc in the series.

The writers did hint that Zola might not take too kindly to Meredith's new partners. She is, after all, at an age when accepting a new man as her father or at least a potential father, would be very difficult. In Season 17, the creators could focus a bit more on developing her character and giving her a more substantial subplotwithin the broader narratives.

Grey's Anatomy: 10 Things That Need To Happen In Season 17 - Screen Rant

ABC/Gilles Mingasson (2); ABC/Raymond Liu

Grey's Anatomy is going to be including the coronavirus in its upcoming 17th season, and the latest details reveal that in doing so, the premiere will pick up "a month and a half into full COVID."

While production shut down on Season 16 four episodes early, the finale did leave a few storylines up in the air. What we see next from at least some of them will be affected by this time jump, whether it's how it plays out onscreen, like for the relationships of Drs. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), or what we'll now have to learn via flashbacks or in conversations, like Drs. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) and Atticus "Link" Lincoln (Chris Carmack) naming their baby.

Scroll down for the storylines we expect to play out a bit differently in Season 17.

Grey's Anatomy, Season 17, Fall 2020, ABC

As Season 16 came to an end, Teddy and Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) were about to get married until he learned of her affair with ex-boyfriend Dr. Tom Koracick (Greg Germann) via a voicemail she accidentally left him. He postponed the ceremony, ostensibly for work, but withGreys now picking up a month and a half later, Teddy will have to already know that Owen knows about Tom and the immediate fallout of that will have happened off-screen.

But how will quarantining and taking care of patients at the hospital affect the doctors? Will Teddy and Owen be living together with the kids? Will one be quarantining separately for the rest of the familys health and safety? Will there be some personal revelations as a result of whats happening in the world? Could personal relationships have been put on hold by the time we catch up to the doctors in the premiere? We likely wont be able to determine whats happened based on rings (or lack thereof), considering the doctors will be wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) at the hospital.

Meredith and Dr. Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) hit a rough patch in Season 16, and at the end of the finale, his mental health was more important than their relationship status. But the hospitals new doctor, Cormac Hayes (Richard Flood), was also set up as a potential love interest for Meredith after Cristina sent him to her as a gift.

Flood has been promoted to series regular for Season 17, suggesting that there could be a full-blown love triangle coming. But with the time jump and the coronavirus storyline, chances are that what each doctor is doing to help and where theyre quarantining will be a factor in where we find the relationships in the premiere. Are Meredith and Hayes able to stay with their kids? Is DeLuca with Meredith or perhaps with his sister, Dr. Carina DeLuca (Stefania Spampinato, now a series regular onStation 19)? That may depend on the next storyline

The spinoff saw Carina telling her girlfriend, firefighter Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre), my dad has bipolar I, and my sweet baby brother has inherited it. Over onGreys, he hadnt received a diagnosis yet, and Carina had only suspected the reason for his recent behavior.

Well likely skip even more of that storyline, including what happened when Meredith took him home at the end of the finale, by picking up a month and half later. Sure, there could be some flashbacks, but those would be to provide context for what we see play out in the present-day scenes.

In the finale, Amelia gave birth to her and Links son, but his name wasnt revealed. With the month and a half jump, that boy is going to already have a name, so well miss out on that conversation onscreen (and a flashback after its revealed probably wont be the same), as well as the days following them bringing him home from the hospital.

Last season, Dr. Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) reconnected with Dr. Winston Ndugu at a medical conference, and after that one episode, Anthony Hill has been upped to series regular for Season 17. That suggests that Winston does in fact make the move to Seattle that hed said he would. Their (potential) relationship had taken a backseat when her father, Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), fell ill and everyone worked together to determine his diagnosis.

With the time jump, we could possibly see Winston already in Seattle, instead of watching his arrival and what that means for him and Maggie play out onscreen in the beginning. Could they already be together when we see them for the first time in the premiere?

Richard and Dr. Catherine Foxs (Debbie Allen) marriage fell apart (making for a very awkward dinner) last season, but as he began his recovery from cobalt poisoning (as a result of a hip replacement), she had had a change of heart. The only problem is he hadnt. But just like his medical crisis led to her thinking about their future, might the coronavirus pandemic do the same for either of them?

6 'Grey's Anatomy' Storylines Affected by the Planned Season 17 Time Jump - TVInsider

Get ready for a bit of a time jump whenGrey's Anatomy Season 17 begins.

The new episodes pick up "a month and a half into full COVID, so it's going to take place a little bit beyond where we left off," Giacomo Gianniotti, who plays Dr. Andrew DeLuca, told ET.

In terms of filling in the gaps in the story, "we might have some flashbacks. We might have some things where we're referencing last season." Filming is set to start in September, but that could change, as it already has; they were previously looking to begin this month.

While he hasn't read a script yet, he does have some sort of idea of what viewers will see on-screen, just in terms of keeping the actors safe."We're going to be wearing full [personal protective equipment] of course, as we're going to take place in coronavirus on the show when we start the season. All of our characters will be justifiably protected," Gianniotti explained. Because they play doctors, "we're uniquely lucky that we get to wear PPE."

(ABC/Kelsey McNeal)

Grey's recently promoted Richard Flood, who plays Dr. Cormac Hayes, to series regular, suggesting that we'll see more of Dr. Meredith Grey's (Ellen Pompeo) love triangle in Season 17. With his character the other part of it, Gianniotti expects that as well.

Last season, DeLuca and Meredith's relationship hit a rough patch, and as it ended, he was going through quite a bit in terms of his mental health. (The firefighter spinoffStation 19 appeared to confirm he's bipolar, through a conversation between his sister, Stefania Spampinato'sDr. Carina DeLuca, and her girlfriend, Danielle Savre's firefighter Maya Bishop.) According to Gianniotti, that may have opened the door for Hayes to be "much more desirable and stable and more of a compatible partner" for Meredith.

She said: "The doctors come in and were the first people theyre talking to about these types of experiences theyre having.

"They are literally shaking and trying not to cry, theyre pale, and theyre talking about it as war a war that they were not trained for.

"And thats been one of our big conversations about Owen, is that hes actually trained for this in a way that most of the other doctors arent."

Quantic Dream's upcoming neo-noir adventure, Detroit: Become Human, has a new cast member: Grey's Anatomy star Jesse Williams.

The actor plays a character named Marcus, and he was unveiled in a new gameplay demo on-stage, which saw him leading a group of androids in revolt against Detroit's humans.

Williams confirmed the news on Twitter, where he retweeted several mentions of the latest footage and simply said "It goes down in Detroit." Developer Quantic Dream confirmed on Twitter that Marcus is the third playable character in Detroit, joining previously-revealed characters Kara and Connor.

Detroit: Become Human was announced during Sony's Paris Games Week keynote in 2015. Based on Quantic Dream's "Kara" tech demo from 2012, Detroit: Become Human follows a number of playable characters in a world of sentient androids.

The story of Detroit: Become Human, similar to Heavy Rain, will feature several branching paths depending on player choices and character deaths. For more on the games of E3 2017, stay tuned to our E3 event hub.
