The End of Grey’s AnatomySeason 18Grey Sloan Memorial was open to major changes, including the possible departure of some characters. While it’s unknown exactly how many of those actors will or will not return with the medical drama this fall, one thing is certain — there are some new surgeons headed our way. ABC has named several new series regulars. Caterina Scorsone, Amelia Shepherd actress, shared her thoughts about the casting and gave a Season 19 update.
Amelia was not one of the doctors who walked out of Grey Sloan last season, so it’s a safe assumption that she’ll be interacting with the handful of new faces gracing the hospital’s operating rooms. Caterina Scorsone has posted that Season 19 appears to be in production. Twitter:
Memorizing lines for #1901. It’s here. There will be more updates. The cast of the classic series is revving up. The new additions to the cast are stunning and exciting. From the inside out. Here we go.
There’s a script! Caterina Scorsone confirms that Season 19 has begun, because she still has lines to learn. And I can’t be the only one who’s already counting down the Thursdays. It’s also a relief to have the actress mention the “classic cast,” even if we don’t know which of the returning cast members she’s referring to. It is great to hear Scorsone excited about the new series regulars.
ABC has announced that five cast members have been added to its roster. Grey’s AnatomySeason 19. Season 19. Invention of AnnaSimone Griffin is a first year surgical resident. Niko Terho joins season 19 as Lucas AdamsAlongside Harry Shum Jr. and Adelaide Kane, Midori Francis. Deadline reports. All of the actors will portray new surgical residents like Floyd. This raises the question: What happened to the former residents? Grey Sloan had to close its doors and rebuild the program.? Will we lose Levi Schmitt, Taryn Helm, Mabel Tseng and Zander Perez (say it ain’t so!)? It’s impossible to imagine this happening, but it will happen.
Those losses in the Season 18 finale came on top of other longtime characters supposedly leaving — at least temporarily: Richard (James Pickens Jr.) went on sabbatical, Bailey (Chandra Wilson) retired, and Teddy and Owen (Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd) went on the lam. It’s also unknown if the Minnesota characters will return this season, with Meredith, Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith, apparently stuck in SeattleDespite her desire to move, she told Nick Marsh (Scott Speedman), to return to Rochester.
One Minnesota character I’m really hoping we’ll see more of is Amelia’s love interest, Kai Bartley (E.R. Fightmaster). After “Kaimelia”It appeared that the final was going to be a stalemate, Kai showed up in the end, telling Amelia they’d been torn up over how things ended, giving us a little hope that the couple can find a way to make it work. We’ll be thinking about these casting possibilities as we get closer to the next season.
