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."

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.

When Will 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 Pick Up? - TVInsider

Grey's Anatomy actress Camilla Luddington came close to playing a pivotal role on The Vampire Diaries, and it would have stopped her from playing Jo Wilson.

Luddington took to Twitter over the weekend to reveal characters she had auditioned for in the past, and one of them was Rebekah Mikaelson on The Vampire Diaries.

Claire Holt ultimately landed the role and also went on to star in New Orleans-set spinoff The Originals.

"Was reminiscing with my husband about some roles we auditioned for (over a decade ago) and didn't get," Luddington tweeted. "I was thinking it might be fun to share just a couple ha!!!!

"I auditioned for (and Obvs didn't get but thought it would be so fun to play) Rebekah on #TheVampireDiaries."

Fans were shocked, with one suggesting that Luddington wouldn't have been cast in Grey's Anatomy had she been successful in auditioning for Vampire Diaries, prompting the star to reply:

"I would not being playing Jo, that's exactly right!"

Luddington also auditioned for the parts of Alex Dupre on One Tree Hill, as well as Alex on Nikita.

Jana Kramer ultimately snagged the role of Alex, while Lyndsy Fonseca played Alex.

"I auditioned and realllllly wanted Alex in #Nikita but the wonderful Lyndsy Fonseca killed it in that role," she said.

Luddington joined the cast Grey's Anatomy in 2012, and was promoted to series regular for the next season.

Jo blossomed into one of the best characters on Grey's Anatomy, and it seems the character will continue to develop well into next year.

The series has been renewed for Season 17, but there's a lot of material for Jo to work with. She's still trying to come to terms with the fact that her husband left her -- for his ex.

If you watch Grey's Anatomy online, you know Jo claimed she was ready to move on, but there will likely be some changes for her when the next season gets underway.

Grey's Anatomy Star Camilla Luddington on The Vampire Diaries? It Almost Happened! - TV Fanatic

Most fans of Greys Anatomy have watched the show for years. Recently they added a spin-off calledStation 19. A lot of people watch both shows, but not everyone jumped on board with the new series. Now fans are sharing their frustration over the fact that they are basically a crossover every week.

Some weeks they callGreys Anatomy andStation 19 a crossover. Other weeks, it just happens to be that way. This season they have really started making the two hours worth of television seem like one big show. One big part of it is that Avery is now dating a character onStation 19 meaning that he will show up on that series a lot.

This week they are advertising a blizzard crossover event. When the episode is revealed that way, fans know they have to watch both. Other weeks you could be confused if you only watch one or decide to watchGreys first.

Fans are not very happy about the way that this is happening lately. Some like to watch both shows and others only watch one of them. The other thing is that if you use a DVR normally you could choose which one you would prefer to watch first. That isnt an option anymore. You now need to watchStation 19 first so you arent confused.

This seems like it is a way to bring in new viewers, but instead, it appears they are turning off some of their faithful fans.Greys Anatomy has been able to make it through a few really big cast changes. Now with the exit of Justin Chambers basically being ignored and the crossover events some fans are just done.

After a promo for both shows aired duringThe Bachelor, fans went to Twitter to air their frustrations. Here are a few of the tweets from fans.

I watch Grey's Anatomy I do NOT watch Station19! I gave Station19 a chance on the night it first aired back after the car crashed through the Windows of the bar but I soon realized that Station19 didn't do much of anything after getting that door unstuck therefore it is boring!

~Jasmine~~M~~Murray~ (@JasMarieMurray) February 24, 2020

So I havent watched Greys Anatomy all season. do I need to watch Station 19 and Greys back to back for each new episode? @GreysABC @Station19

Diamond Dawn (@DropOfADime_) February 25, 2020

Stop with the Station 19/Greys Anatomy cross overs!!

Meredith Mannier (@MereMannier) February 17, 2020

The viewers will just have to wait and see if the writers listen and decide to changes things up. For now, dont miss new episodes of Greys AnatomyandStation 19 on Thursday nights on ABC. You will probably need to watch both.

'Grey's Anatomy' Roundup: Who's Leaving, Who Has a Budding Romance and Why the Show Is Going Back to Its Roots for Season 14Wednesday, September 06, 2017

Who's Out of Grey Sloan?

Going Back to Its Roots

Grey's Anatomy will be welcoming backKrista Vernoff, who wrote and executive produced the series for its first eight seasons. The return of Vernoff is expected to bring back some much-needed levity.

"We're touching base in a meaningful way with where we left off with all the characters from last season and to contain that much story in two hours, you have to keep it light, bouncy and fun -- and Krista Vernoff brings that shift to the show," added Kelly McCreary (Maggie).

"It's funnier, it's sexier, it's lighter," Gianniotti said. "We're going to have fun this season. There's just been a lot of separation and loss, so we want to show the characters having some fun. Also, a lot of the men are single now, so we're going to explore what that dynamic is like."

A Budding Romance

The season 13 finale seemingly paved the way for a potential new romance between Maggie and Jackson -- courtesy of April, who took notice of the connection. This leaves plenty of questions not just among fans but for the characters involved as well. While it's not yet safe to assume a April-Jackson-Maggie love triangle, Maggie (at least) will be dealing with April's truth bomb.

What's In Store for Jo?

The past several seasons have been tough on Jo but she may finally catch a break in season 14. Apart from exploring her domestic violence storyline, love may be in the cards for her as well.

"This season Jo may feel inspired by someone again," added the actress, who has heard Jo may find a new mentor in Season 14.

And now that her best friend Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) is no longer around, she may find someone else to lean on.

Eric Dane Reveals He's Only Watched Three Episodes of Grey's Anatomy

Eric Dane may have played Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy for six seasons but that doesn't mean he's an avid fan who religiously watches the ABC series. In fact, he's only seen three episodes during his time on the show.

That doesn't mean, however, that he doesn't keep in touch with some of his Grey's Anatomy co-stars. "Shonda's great," said Dane, who is currently starring on The Last Ship. "I'm still friends with her to this day. One thing that you do with Shonda is that you don't deviate. That's one of the biggest lessons you learn, is that you stick to the script."

The New York State Blues Festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary on Friday, July 7, and Saturday, July 8, with two days of free music events at downtowns Clinton Square. The fest, which started in 1992, took pauses in 2010 and 2013, but came back strong and seeks to continue the tradition with this years acts including The Nighthawks, Amy Helm, Chris OLeary Band, Slam Allen and more.

The festivals closing show provides a strong example of the continuing Southern blues rock tradition with JJ Grey and Mofro. The Jacksonville, Fla., band came up the hard way starting in the mid-1990s, as Mofro, with years of day jobs and touring before finding greater success with the 2007 release of Country Ghetto on Alligator Records. The Sun is Shining Down was featured on the third seasons finale of the Netflixseries House of Cards and the 2008 LP Orange Blossom continued the bands growth. Since then, the band has released The Choice Cuts (2009), Georgia Warhorse (2010), Brighter Days (2011), This River (2013) and Ol Glory (2015).

Grey says the next album is on the horizon. I just got out of the studio yesterday, he said in a phone interview with the Syracuse New Times from his 26-acre Jacksonville farm. Im just getting started.

Grey, now 49, discussed his philosophy on music, his connection to the late Gregg Allman and his temperamental rooster, all with a sense of humor, yet also with a sincerity that comes through vividly in his music.

Where are you right now?

Im on my farm. Its full of pecan trees. It used to have 60,000 chickens in the houses. My grandparents got out of the business, thankfully. Its tough on people their age. I have 15 chickens now, or used to. Bobcats, eagles, hawks, all kinds of stuff are trying to get at them. I love chickens. Here, its one part chicken paradise and one park Jurassic Park.

Any other animals around?

My rooster. Hes a good rooster. He was gonna start with me, but he walked off. If I was here every day, hed settle in with me. But Im in and out. Im not here all the time. Everything is automated for the chicken house. It can run itself for days. Solar doors let him in and out.

What got you started in music?

I never really gave it a whole lot of thought. It just kind of happened. I compare it to a salmon swimming upstream. Whats going on in my life is me swimming: I have to go in that direction. I feel compelled to do it. Its not something Ive ever had a choice in, in a wonderful way.

When did you decide its what you wanted to do for a living?

It happened over a period of time. At first, you just dont want to look like an idiot. You want to look cool when you first do it as a kid. Then, time goes on and you start being you and you stop being who you thought you should be, without effort. Your idea of how good or bad you thought you did that night starts to fall away and you just want to share a moment with the audience and yourself. I really enjoy it.

When did you start touring full time?

I started singing in bars when I was 17 and touring full time around 2001. It was a struggle at first. I worked at the lumberyard, too. I would go on the road and go right back to work. I wouldnt have been able to do it without them allowing me the time off.

When did you quit the lumberyard to pursue music full time?

Probably around 2005, 2006. The first four years of touring I slept four hours a night perpetually. But I never even thought about it like that (relief upon quitting the lumberyard). I still come home and go to work. Theres always something, like whatevers broken on the farm.

My house got flooded in the hurricane in October. They made me lift my house. There were five inches of water in it and its sitting up in the air right now, so Im figuring stuff out. Its no big deal. It is what it is. But theres always something.

You never felt relief upon quitting the day job?

Music is a byproduct of my life, not the center of it. I dont have a process for songwriting as much as the process is just part of life as its coming to me. It finds me more than the other way. I dont take it seriously. I want to honor it and be dignified with it, treat it with dignity, but I dont take it seriously. Same as life.

So what is your goal with your music?

The most I can hope for is it will lead to a place, for me, where I can share an honest moment with an audience. You start to become so in your own skin for a few hours at a show, that it starts to permeate the rest of your life. Youre living these moments, not once in a while or only on stage. You try to live in the zone all the time, where things flow and move a lot easier, to a pace thats enjoyable.

As far as Im concerned, speed and time, theyre abstractions. Theyre things that fluctuate depending on whos experiencing them and the frame of mind youre in. Take that into perspective. Reality isnt as real as were led to believe coming up.

How does that translate into your live show?

I just go where the microphone takes me. We all go together. I tried to be an entertainer years ago. I wasnt any good at it. Honestly, it was boring to me. Some people are really good at it and blow you away. They suspend reality for a while. I was never good at it.

Honesty was always the best policy for me. So I try to be as honest as I can. I reckon Im about half-honest. Its not always easy to let go of the nonsense and let it all be what it is.

Can you tell me about your experiences with Gregg Allman?

Gregg did a lot for me over the years. I played shows with the Allman Brothers and with Gregg himself. Hes a character. Hes awesome.

Now Derek (Trucks, nephew of Butch Trucks, the late Allman Brothers Band drummer who performed at the 2016 Blues Fest) and Susan (Tedeschi) have assumed the mantel of the Southeast music mafia. Theyre at the top of the family now. I wouldnt have been able to do what Ive done without all of them. Its a family, incestuous in a great way, and Im happy to be part of it. Families fight each other and love each other, but theyve all helped me tremendously and Gregg was at the pinnacle of that.

What is most important for people to remember about Gregg?

I dont need to add anything to that. Everybody knows what he was. Dude had soul. His brother (Duane) had soul. Those guys, theres nothing I can add to who they are. Theyre heroes and great people. I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of them. Its been a great thing to meet these people and learn from them. Theyre all down to earth and cool.

One music promoter said that its a crucial time for music to bring people together. How do you feel about that?

I go out there and travel a lot and meet lots of people. Friends and families of mine have different perspectives of the world, and its a great thing.

I truly dont find that we are as ultra-divided as the news media paints. There are always people who are extreme, whatever direction theyre coming from. People build an identity and ideology and they feel threatened because theyre tied to that. But with an identity, you can change your mind about things.

If Im JJ Grey and Im a singer, if I lose my voice, am I still a singer? All those things are just thoughts. And the craziness they show on TV, the handful of people doing and saying crazy things, makes the world appear to be so divided, but its miniscule compared to the 300 million living in the country. You can be politically divided, one red, one blue, but have 99.99999 percent in common.

So things arent as bad as they seem?

People think things arent as good, but they are. Theyre as good as theyll get a chance to be. Dont get me wrong: Someone will get their ass beat tonight, drunk at a bar in Jacksonville, but do we all need to tune into that and develop an opinion on that? Whether someones drunk on booze or drunk on power? Im not much of a political-stand person. Im not much about government, but I am about people. The more attention we give the bad, the worse it is.

What do you want to tell people who are seeing you for the first time?

Be ready to share an honest moment. Let go and let it happen. Dont try to fight it or resist it. Let it go and let it happen. Lets have a party.

What advice do you have for up-and-coming musicians?

Its almost clich, but just do what youre doing. Dont get caught up in the idea of thinking this should be this way or that way. Thats what kills most bands: Young guys or girls going out there thinking theyll be big, partying, people screaming. No, this shits work!

I compare it to Michael Jordan. He doesnt think out every step. He goes in, puts in the work, and then lets go and lets it happen. If youre beating your head against the wall, youre either wasting your time or you shouldnt be doing it.

And never make a decision based in fear. Its the wrong decision no matter what. Let go of the fear and go with your gut.[snt]
