Grey's Anatomy Universe

Do we think more people will leave because of the budget cuts or is it really just going to be Levi and (my current favourite character) Yasuda?
Probably just those two, at least for now. Though, we've lost regular characters around mid-season before (Riggs, DeLuca, Hayes, in recent-ish years) so nothing is really out of the question.

Once Levi and Yasuda exit, we'll have a pretty tight main cast... at least by Grey's standards. Including Ellen, we'll be at 14 regulars. Back in season 18 we had 17 regulars (also including Ellen).
 
I think, most likely because I’ve grown up alongside the show the past 20 years, I’m more interested in new attendings rather than residents and interns. That’s part of why I loved Monica and I’m really excited to see Kali Rocha return. I can’t describe it but the cast of early seasons were written so much more like adults than any new interns or residents have been, they’re so cringe…

I think it's always been pretty split - George certainly wasn't more adult than any of our current crop of interns, for example. But I do think Cristina always was. They also had those OG interns immediately romantically involved with the attendings, so the world's meshed right away. These interns have only ever dated each other, so it's easy for them to feel... separate? I thought maybe they'd go for Jules & Winston last year (I think you've mentioned this too?) which I was open to. I really want them to bring Lucas' mom in this year and have them play on the while Shepard connection more. Having them more linked to the attendings stories will help a lot.

I do agree, though. Monica excites me more than any of the interns on their own. They did a great job introducing her last year.

Also the extended promo from the Disney panel going around online seems to imply...

That Jo & Link may be in a car accident right as she tells him that she's pregnant. I'm here for the show getting a little messier and looser than it was last year. Car accidents and bitch slaps?! That's what I'm signed up for.
 
I got to meet the Queen of Seattle Grace a few days ago at a work event. I own a pet supply store and was an early adopter of her brand, Badlands Ranch, so was invited to a private meet and greet in Las Vegas.

Imagine how giddy I was to chitchat with Isobel Stevens fka Alexia Wheaton fka Nicole Arnel.

I know they won't, but I genuinely think they should move towards ending the JoLink storyline. I literally don't see anyone online actually excited about them. Even the writers seem split. It ended up being a weird thing of 'there's no one else left' with them and if we think Schmitt was written into a corner, JoLink have been spinning their wheels for many seasons now. Unfortunately I can't see them returning to Amelink which was the first good ship on the show in ages when it happened. Ugh. They should've introduced a new love interest for Jo after Alex left.

I really want to be excited about the show, I miss being excited about it. I'm just a full-on Negative Nancy Shepherd about it lately. We desperately need what happened in season 14 with Krista where she just reset things and abandoned things that weren't working and introduced new things (Deluca character change, Amelia brain tumor/personality transplant, Riggs leaving, bringing back Teddy and pairing Towen, etc). The Meg Marinis era just feels like marking time in a weird way so far.
 
Meg did an interview with TV Insider to tease the new season and said... basically nothing. It's more of a recap of where we left off. I've noticed Meg is a lot cagier and does less press than Krista did, so we don't get as many fun pre-season teases from her. But here are her quotes, anyway. Hopefully we get an extended trailer and the press releases soon.

On Catherine firing everyone: “I don’t think anybody will expect what we’ve got planned and how they reconcile the job losses. I’ll just say that Catherine is a very spiteful person, and it’s not like those people are back working at the hospital. She is true to her word. She is very powerful and she clearly doesn’t like when somebody tries to challenge her like Meredith has. There are consequences.”

On Amelia being fired: “She’s in a big mess. She followed Meredith along for this ride, and she’s in trouble!”

On Richard considering retirement again: “He’s grappling with whether he made a mistake surgically and if so, what does that mean for his future career?”

On Jo & Link: “You’ve got two working doctors who already have two children in the house. Who knows how he’ll respond to the news; we really haven’t explored how she feels about the [pregnancy] either.”

On Kwan revealing that he had a fiancé: “We’re excited about that because it’s giving us — and the fans — some insight into his character.”

On Jules & Yasuda: “A connection was there. The attraction between those characters was surprising to both of them and we’ll see where it goes.”
