Spoiler alert! This story incorporates main spoilers in regards to the Gray’s Anatomy Season 21 finale. The episode may be streamed with a Hulu subscription.
Followers have been left shocked by the terrifying cliffhanger on the finish of Gray’s Anatomy’s twenty first season, as an explosion inadvertently brought on by visitor star Piper Perabo’s Jenna rocked the hospital’s working ground, inflicting unknown injury and fatalities. Atticus Lincoln’s survival is a giant query, because it was prompt he was within the working room the place the explosion occurred. Chris Carmack added gas to that fireside (sorry) by hilariously recreating a scene from Buddies.
Nevertheless, now I’m extra confused than ever about Hyperlink’s destiny.
Chris Carmack Recreates Dr. Drake Ramoray’s Demise Scene
Chris Carmack, who has performed “Ortho God” Hyperlink since Season 15, and Linda Klein (aka Nurse Linda) hinted at their characters’ potential deaths on the 2025 TV schedule by performing out the scene on Buddies the place Joey’s Days of Our Lives character will get killed off the cleaning soap opera. You’ve bought to see the put up for your self:
You possibly can’t see their mouths shifting due to the facemasks, nevertheless it’s clear that Chris Carmack is channeling his internal Joey, as he begrudgingly accepts the destiny that’s coming to his character.
The Buddies scene in query is from the Season 2 episode aptly titled “The One The place Dr. Ramoray Dies,” which sees Dr. Drake Ramoray (performed by Joey Tribbiani, performed by Matt LeBlanc) attempt to stall a bit after being paged to the primary ground, after which stepping backward into an empty elevator shaft.
In Chris Carmack’s case, there have been no elevator shafts (considerably shocking, given how essential elevators are on Gray’s Anatomy), however quite he appeared reluctant to activate the surgical software that might presumably spark the explosion. It’s completely hilarious, however what does all of it imply?
Does This Affirm That Gray’s Anatomy Killed Off Hyperlink, Or Is It The Reverse?
We’re not more likely to get official affirmation on Hyperlink’s destiny till Gray’s Anatomy Season 22 returns this fall (though issues like contract negotiations have been identified to spoil cliffhangers earlier than). My opinion is that Hyperlink is lifeless. He married Jo, had a hospital honeymoon, after which realized that they have been having twin women. Experiencing such a windfall on Gray’s Anatomy isn’t a very good factor. Nevertheless, would Chris Carmack actually be making jokes like this if he have been gone?
The actor’s spouse, Erin Slaver, bought in on the enjoyable, too, posting a comedic video to Instagram of her response to her husband seemingly being killed off:
I really like that Erin Slaver’s jokey first intuition was to fret about Camilla Luddington, who performs Hyperlink’s spouse Jo Wilson (and truthfully, same– she’d be left with so many younger youngsters). However she doesn’t precisely appear to be nervous about her husband dropping his job.
So now I don’t know what to assume. Is killing off Nurse Linda even an choice? Linda Klein has been a producer and appeared in surgical procedure scenes (typically uncredited) since Season 2. If we’re utilizing Buddies as our compass — as I typically do — Hyperlink dies, however Nurse Linda survives (“They solely mentioned you.”). Or possibly it’s all a fake-out.
One other enjoyable situation can be he does die, however Chris Carmack and his spouse aren’t upset about it, as a result of the actor might all the time return to the present someplace as Hyperlink’s twin brother, a la Stryler Ramoray! Simply one thing for the writers to remember.
Gray’s Anatomy Season 22 will return this fall, however within the meantime, you’ll be able to make amends for all 21 seasons on Hulu or begin a rewatch of your favourite Gray’s Anatomy period with the primary 20 seasons additionally out there with a Netflix subscription.
