8 Ways Grey’s Anatomy & Station 19 Crossovers Changed Both Shows Forever – Screen Rant

Posted: April 9, 2024 at 12:56 pm

Summary

Ben Warren's career shift to firefighter in Grey's Anatomy season 14, ep 13 paved the way for Station 19 's intro.

The several Greys Anatomy and Station 19 crossovers offered a lot of fun for the fans of the medical drama and the firefighter show, but only a few of them had a massive impact on both shows. Ben Warrens career move from doctor to firefighter proved the perfect occasion to introduce the Station 19 team, with Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13 functioning as a backdoor pilot. However, not all crossovers between the two shows were life-altering for the characters involved, but a few of them introduced storylines that deeply affected Greys Anatomy and Station 19.

Greys Anatomy and Station 19 crossovers cover major incidents in Seattle that involve both Station 19, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and the main characters of both shows. While some crossover episodes simply set up compelling storylines for the two shows to share, there are also ones that threaten to unsettle the teams foundation at Station 19 or imperil individual characters in Greys Anatomy. Eight episodes have been particularly impactful in that they upset the natural order of things at Station 19 and Greys Anatomy, setting up storylines that took center stage for some time.

Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13, You Really Got a Hold on Me worked as a backdoor pilot for Station 19, introducing both Ben in his new role as a firefighter, and Andy as the heart of Station 19, but more importantly, the firefighter who helped out with a patient. Drawing from Greys Anatomy's history with the medical storyline, having Meredith and Andy meet like that easily established a close bond between them.

With Meredith having Andy participate in the OR and Andy covering Meredith by answering the call for the medical advancement contest, their meeting looked like the passing of the baton from Greys Anatomys protagonist to the new Station 19 character. By working as a backdoor pilot, Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13 essentially set up the world and dynamics that would be seen in Station 19, even just by focusing on Andy and Ben.

In particular, Bens journey highlighted his restlessness in being at his old place of work but, as a firefighter, having the knowledge to treat the patients he brought in but not being there in that role, finally showing the difficulties of his career shift. By setting up the world, the tone, and the main players, Greys Anatomy season 14, episode 13 created the perfect setting for Station 19 to continue to build on.

Station 19 season 1 premiere set up the shows ensemble, but it also introduced the biggest threats to the fire stations natural state. Bailey and Meredith appear in the episode as Pruitts doctor, further connecting the two shows in an organic way, while the doctors also helped Station 19's main character Andy through a personal crisis.

However, "Stuck" also introduced Pruitts cancer in the most dramatic way possible, with his collapse during a fire. It also explored how the news would impact the larger story and the changes the fire station would have gone through as a result of his diagnosis being made public. With Station 19 season 1 just kicking off its story and characters, this introduced a dramatic element that was character-based rather than just relying on the latest disaster of the week.

There have been several key character deaths in Station 19, but it was unexpected to include one as part of a crossover episode. Ripleys inhalation of hydrofluoric acid sent Grey Sloan Memorial into a frenzy, with Maggie Pierce sending Station 19 firefighters to look for him after he left the hospital as he was determined to propose to Vic.

The crossover element was small, with Maggie popping up as Ripleys doctor. However, season 2, episode 15, "Always Ready" was a heartbreaking episode that saw Ripley, one of the pivotal characters on the show, die. Seeing the reaction from the others, especially Vic, makes it all the more tragic. The matters time sensitivity also meant Lucas and Vics actions outed their relationship with the department, leading to firefighters badmouthing Vic and landing Travis in jail for assaulting one of them who offended Vic to his face.

In framing Station 19 season 3, episode 5 around a team-building trip, "Into the Woods" perfectly set up one of Greys Anatomy and Station 19s longest relationships and a dark storyline for one of the characters. The surprise bear attack in the same woods landed Maya at Grey Sloan with a nose in a bag, catching Carinas attention. Their meeting at the pub kickstarted Carina and Mayas relationship, but Mayas thoughts about her strict father also hinted at her future storyline where she realizes that he was abusive.

Roberts problems with pain after his leg surgery turned into something worse in this episode, as his insistence on getting Koracick to prescribe him more meds already hinted at something being wrong. However, its his stealing the fentanyl vials from Warrens PRT that effectively started his addiction story, eventually leading to Robert's demotion anddestroying the career he built up to that moment.

Andrew DeLucas death might have given him a hero-worthy ending as he managed to stop the sex trafficking ring he denounced episodes before, but it also impacted almost everyone in Station 19 and Greys Anatomy. Indeed, his attack left all doctors shocked, but it hit Taryn Helm, Richard Webber, Miranda Bailey, and Levi Schmitt particularly hard, whether they felt guilty for not stopping the traffickers earlier or just shocked by the accident.

However, none was more affected by Andrew's than his sister, Carina DeLuca. Andrews death and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted Carina and Mayas differences in dealing with things, and it almost broke them up before having them end up engaged. However, this hard period for them made the fate of Carina and Maya's relationship one of the unanswered storylines of Station 19 that needs to be resolved.

The Station 19 season 5 premiere "Phoenix from the Flame" shook the foundations of the team, as it simultaneously demoted Maya from captain and sent Andy to Station 23. The previous season had shown the team, with Maya as captain, defying orders to save the day. It was a heroic moment, but the next season picks up with the consequences of that call being shown.

It always seemed clear that Maya's decision would cut short her career as captain and this episode further cemented that inevitability. However, Andys transfer to Station 23 entirely depended on her, Carina, and Mayas incursion into Chief McCallisters office to defend themselves against his request for Mayas resignation as captain, worsening the already dire situation and separating those at the core of Station 19s team.

Greys Anatomy has also killed off several characters throughout its long run, but in one crossover episode, they actually killed off a Station 19 character, impacting characters in both series. Season 18, episode 5 killed off Dean following his injuries in an explosion in a previous Station 19 episode. The death changed both Ben and Miranda's lives in Greys Anatomy and Station 19.

Deans request for Ben and Miranda to be Prus guardians had he died gave Greys Anatomy and Station 19 the chance to explore the teams grief for Deans death, as well as Jos perspective on Baileys predicament of not knowing she would have soon cared for a toddler. Jos angle easily confirmed taking in Pru was the only solution, as no better family could have taken her in than Ben and Miranda, whom Dean chose precisely for that eventuality.

Station 19s bad string of captains started with Beckett. However, while his drinking problem had yet to be acknowledged, Station 19 season 6, episode 6, "Everybody Says Don't" clearly displayed his differences with Station 19's crew, who did everything they could to save a patient.

Beckett's refusal to save Jonathan from the helicopter crash in the safest way possible for him led to the teams insubordination, guided by Andy, which lighted the fuse of what would become a very difficult and strained relationship between Beckett and the team. However, that call also made Andy bench Maya, who reacted in an even harsher way than expected, prompting her overexertion and accident.

Mayas arc about her excessive training not only showed her carelessness with her health but also almost destroyed Maya and Carinas relationship again.

Mayas arc about her excessive training not only showed her carelessness with her health but also almost destroyed Maya and Carinas relationship again. This way, Station 19 season 6, episode 6 highlighted how bad leadership influenced all aspects of the job, from the calls to its firefighters private lives, affected by their personal problems and lack of leadership in the firehouse bound to eventually cause a fatality.

Although Mayas accident in Station 19 season 6, episode 6 only temporarily separated her and Carina, it still served as a cautionary tale about what would happen to firefighters under a bad leader, upsetting various characters in Station 19 and Greys Anatomy.

Station 19 is a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy that premiered in 2018 on ABC. The series follows the professional and personal lives of the firefighters at Seattle Fire Station 19. Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 sometimes have crossover episodes in which a storyline is depicted on one night throughout both shows.

Grey's Anatomy is considered one of the great television shows of our time, winning several awards and four Emmys. The high-intensity medical drama follows Meredith Grey and the team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis. They seek comfort from one another, and, at times, more than just friendship. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Is Coming – IGN

Posted: April 9, 2024 at 12:56 pm

Grey's Anatomy is not ending with its landmark 20th season as ABC has renewed the medical drama for Season 21.

As reported by Deadline, Grey's Anatomy will celebrate its 20th anniversary with the opening of a new season in 2025. ABC renewed the show which already holds the record as the longest running primetime medical drama just three episodes into the current season.

"The loyalty and love of Greys Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season and I could not be more grateful," creator Shonda Rhimes said.

"[Showrunner] Meg Marinis storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I cant wait to see what she has in store for next season."

Deadline believes most cast members' contracts will end this season, however, leaving the roster of Seattle Grace Hospital interns, residents, and attendees up in the air ahead of Season 21. First premiering in 2005, just two of the original cast members remain on Grey's Anatomy: Chandra Wilson as Bailey and James Pickens Junior as Richard.

ABC didn't confirm how many episodes the new season would be, but Grey's Anatomy's episode numbers have greatly varied in length over the last two decades. Seasons 18 and 19 stuck to a consistent 20 while Season 20 dropped to 10, though this was largely caused by the dual actors and writers strike which brought Hollywood to a standstill.

Everything We Know About Jessica Capshaw’s Return to Grey’s Anatomy – CBR – Comic Book Resources

Posted: April 9, 2024 at 12:56 pm

Greys Anatomy is one of the most beloved shows ever made, courtesy of Shonda Rhimes. Because its a medical drama, it blends the world of healthcare with the lives of people who work within the medical field. Over 20 seasons, many characters have come and gone in Greys Anatomy, and one fan-favorite just returned.

Arizona Robbins entered Greys Anatomy nearly halfway through Season 5. The overly joyous surgeon literally rolled into Seattle Grace Hospital after the longtime head of pediatrics suddenly died on duty. She made a strong impression on the hospital and audiences, but it wasnt necessarily a good one at first, as she rubbed Dr. Miranda Bailey the wrong way. Despite the surgeons portraying opposite ends of the pep spectrum, Arizona Robbins quickly proved herself worthy of Greys Anatomy. Perhaps the best part of Arizonas character at the beginning of her run was her personality. The most notable, however, was that Arizona was Greys Anatomy's first openly and proudly Queer character. Jessica Capshaws run as Arizona Robbins created an icon thats been sorely missed since her exit.

Unlike several Greys characters who previously left the show, Arizona Robbins is one of the few who hasnt returned to the show after her departure. Since her exit, Greys Anatomy has gone through many changes. Perhaps most notably, the few seasons since her Season 14 departure featured the exits of many of Arizonas closest friends and colleagues in Seattle, including Justin Chambers' character Alex Karev, Arizonas protg, and series star Meredith Grey. Fans dont know what happened to Arizona during her time in New York, but its hard for fans not to miss the peppy pediatric surgeon. Her presence was especially missed with the return of April Kepner, who left alongside Arizona, as the equally peppy trauma surgeon returned in the Season 18 finale to see off actor Jesse Williams longtime character Jackson Avery and give Japril the happy ending fans longed for. Because April returned to Greys after four seasons, its only natural that Arizona would follow suit.

Luckily for fans, Arizonas actor Jessica Capshaw never truly left the world of Greys Anatomy. For starters, shes close friends with several Greys co-stars, especially Jo Wilsons actor Camilla Luddington. That friendship was utilized to tease fans a couple of times, with the duo posing for social media posts while Luddington was in costume near the set. Ultimately, what confirmed Capshaws return was also a social media post on her own account, showing a close-up of her face while she dons a surgical gown, mask, and Arizonas iconic pink flower scrub cap. The picture was posted around Valentines Day, accompanied by a silly video featuring Capshaw and Luddington. Captioned under the post, Capshaw wrote, 04.04.24.

The series of numbers points to the date for fans to expect Arizona Robbins' grand return to Greys Anatomy. Her return is featured in Season 20s fourth episode, titled Baby Can I Hold You, perhaps referencing the Tracy Chapman song of the same name. The episode, of course, aired on April 4, 2024. Unfortunately, Jessica Capshaws return could likely be contained to that single episode, as its unclear if shes signed on to more than one appearance. With that said, though, not much else is known about her return, including how long she could stick around in Greys Anatomy.

Arizona departed from Greys Anatomy in the Season 14 finale, but the lead-up to her exit started several seasons before. Everything went downhill for Arizonas character after the Season 8 finale, Flight. In the episode, Arizona and fellow Seattle Grace Mercy West staff Meredith Grey, Derek Shepherd, Cristina Yang, Mark Sloan, and Lexie Grey head to a hospital in Boise to assist with a conjoined twin separation surgery. They do make it to Boise, but only after their plane goes down. Theyre left stranded in the woods for several days with various injuries, including a severe leg injury for Arizona.

Aside from Lexie, who died shortly after the crash, and Mark, who lasted on life support for a month, everyone on the plane returned to Seattle with unimaginable trauma. Arizona made it extremely clear that she wanted to keep her leg, but her infection took away that possibility. As the head of orthopedic surgery and Arizonas wife, Callie Torres, who lost her best friend and the father of their daughter, had to make the horrific but professional decision to amputate Arizonas leg to save her life. Arizona never really moved past it, seeing Callies decision as a betrayal. She also resents Callie for expressing her own trauma associated with the crash because she wasnt on the plane. Despite Callies unwavering support and attempts to mend their marriage, Arizonas trauma, insecurities, and resentment lead her to cheat on her wife at the end of Season 9. They try to work through their issues, but their relationship ends in Season 11.

Season 12 featured Callie and Arizona moving on and dating other people, but Callies post-divorce relationship actually plays more of a role in Arizonas departure. She falls in love with a woman named Penny Blake, who, after a stint as an intern at Grey Sloan Memorial, gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in New York. Callie decides to go with her, and understandably, both Callie and Arizona wish to keep their daughter, Sofia, close to them. Arizona initiates a custody battle, and after the nasty court proceedings, she wins sole custody of Sofia, though she agrees to share custody with Callie. The end of Season 12 allowed actor Sara Ramirez to explore acting outside their longtime role in Greys Anatomy. Seasons 13 and 14 featured Arizona moving on romantically and little Sofia returning to Seattle. Leading up to the Season 14 finale, Sofia began to miss her life in New York, but Arizona couldnt stand the idea of sending her beloved child across the country again. So, she decides to go with her, with the final episode of Season 14 featuring Arizona and Sofia preparing to head out to reunite with Callie. The finale marked the final episodes as series regulars for actors Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew, along with their respective characters, Arizona and April Kepner.

Until very recently, the circumstances of Arizonas return to Greys were unclear at best. When it got announced, all fans knew about her return was that Arizona would reunite with Dr. Miranda Bailey and the Grey Sloan Memorial staff for a particularly complicated surgery. The logline for her Season 20 episode teased something history-making. While some of the circumstances are still shrouded in mystery, the recent promo for her return episode provides a bit more insight into her return. In the short clip, she and Dr. Bailey stand before a group of GSMHs doctors, and, as suggested in the episodes pitch, she provides them with an opportunity to make history. She explains that a few months prior, she started a clinical trial that involved fetal neurosurgery, or as she describes it, We operate on the babys brain before delivery, which had never been done before. The episode simply shows a little bit more of the groundbreaking surgery teased in the promo.

Throughout Greys Anatomy, characters like Dr. Robbins, Dr. Addison Montgomery, and Dr. Nicole Herman established that pediatric and fetal surgery are some of the most exclusive fields in medicine. Surgical fellowships in those fields, especially fetal surgery, are extraordinarily rare and highly coveted. The last couple of seasons of Greys Anatomy have also featured some focus on reproductive health, with Dr. Bailey and Dr. Montgomery setting up a system to train more physicians on life-saving procedures like abortions. As such, it makes perfect sense for Dr. Robbins to return to Seattle and potentially raise her latest protg, which would simply expand the shows recent reproductive health themes and reemphasize the importance of fetal medicine to ensure healthy pregnancies. Its a great way for Greys Anatomy and Grey Sloan to bring some of the magic back after so much drama.

As mentioned, Arizonas character was written off Greys Anatomy at the end of Season 14 to reunite the iconic Calzona despite Capshaw and Callies Sara Ramirez exiting the show. Longtime showrunner Krista Vernoffs decision to write off characters like Arizona and April Kepner has been scrutinized by fans since their 2018 exits. While some believe the show was moving in a different creative direction that wouldnt support Arizona and Aprils characters, others believe the decision followed Capshaw and Drews request for higher compensation. Either way, the decision could change now that Vernoff passed the torch to current showrunner Meg Marinis. Perhaps the shift between creative minds could create opportunities for other characters from Greys past to return in some capacity, just like Arizona Robbins.

A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.

This ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Death Changed the Series Forever – Collider

Posted: April 9, 2024 at 12:56 pm

The Big Picture

Its a beautiful day to save lives, being one of Grey's Anatomys most famous quotes is ironic considering just how often the show tends to kill off its characters. Its expected in a medical show for patients to sometimes meet a tragic end, especially with some of the absurd cases that come through the doors. But to kill off main characters? Thats a pretty risqu move. Yet Greys went there, and has continuously gone there throughout the series. Every fan has that one character death that affects them more than the others, but looking at the show from a non-biased standpoint, theres one death that truly changed the show and turned it upside down. And its probably not the one you think.

A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.

It can be funny to joke about how Greys Anatomy has a penchant for killing off its characters, but when you really take a step back and look at the sheer volume of deaths that have come out of the show, its a little jarring. Even the ones who managed to escape Shonda Rhimes' pen of death suffered a major trauma at some point in time. The first major character we said goodbye to was Denny Duquette (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) back in Season 2. Denny was a heart patient who fell in love with Izzie (Katherine Heigl), and while his fate never seemed all that promising, fans (and Izzie) still rooted for him to make it out alive. It even seemed like he was going to do just that until his heart finally gave out on him once and for all. It was a majorly tragic moment, especially so early on in the show, but it didnt affect the show or the rest of the characters the way other deaths did.

When you think of the major Greys character deaths, the first to come to mind is likely Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). After all, hes McDreamy. How could the show possibly go on without him? Or maybe you think of Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) and his impeccable charm and character development. Both are solid choices. Heck, all the deaths in the show got me good. But theres one death that happened earlier that not only broke the hearts of fans everywhere but quite literally changed the trajectory of the show forever.

George OMalley (T.R. Knight) was without a doubt one of the most beloved characters on Greys Anatomy. Not only was he one of the O.G. interns, so he had that going for him. But he was also just a total sweetheart. He wore his heart on his sleeve, cared for his friends more than he did himself, and was always willing to help whoever he could. So killing him off was about the boldest move the show could have made, aside from killing Derek or Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). And the show didnt just kill him off, it gave him one of the most torturous deaths in the whole show. Hes brought to the hospital as a John Doe after being hit by a bus. A freaking bus! And since he was brought in as a John Doe, and cant speak to give his name, no one knows who he is, and therefore no one can call his family or friends to tell them whats happened.

The doctors scramble to save this mans life, all the while not knowing that hes one of their own. Until he writes 007 in Merediths palm, and then it suddenly clicks. Its Georges nickname. The patient on the table is George. Merediths cry is gut-wrenching when she realizes it, and everything seems to freeze when she announces it to her fellow doctors. Suddenly, its not just a patient theyre doing everything they can to save, its one of their own, and the stakes are so much higher.

Georges injuries prove to be too severe, and he passes away among his friends and colleagues. Its tragic and still gets the waterworks flowing all these years later. And yes, thats partly due to how beloved a character George is, but its also because you quickly begin to realize once hes gone just how much of an impact he had on everyone around him. He was Izzies best friend from day one. He and Callie (Sara Ramirez), despite being divorced from one another, were still close friends and had a lot of love for one another. He was one of the few men who hadnt let Meredith down. Lexie (Chyler Leigh) had a crush on him. And Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) named her son after him for crying out loud. She even admitted that he was her favorite intern.

George touched everyones lives in some way, big or small. But more than that, his death was the turning point that told audiences no one in the show was safe anymore. No longer were the deaths confined to just patients or recurring guest stars. Anyone could be visited by the Grim Reaper of Grey's Anatomy, and there was no way of telling who would be next or when. And as devastating as it was, Greys Anatomy has always been superb at invoking emotion. Whether it be anger, grief, or sadness. Or, in this case, all three. George will forever be missed by fans, and the characters themselves, and though the show has clearly remained successful, its never quite been the same without him. George'sdeath remains a poignant piece of Greys Anatomy history, and always will. No matter how devastating it may be.

Grey's Anatomy is available to watch on Netflix in the U.S.
