I used to be as upset as anybody that Station 19 was canceled after seven seasons. The present had a manner of going through right this moment’s most controversial points head-on, and I completely fell in love with its numerous solid. However the showrunners have now spoken out about what we would have seen had the Gray’s Anatomy spinoff been renewed for Season 8 on the 2025 TV schedule, and I’ve to confess, I favor the way in which a few of these tales performed out on Station 19’s sequence finale.
Vic’s Finale Story Was A lot Extra Satisfying Than What Was Deliberate For Season 8, In My Opinion
Within the remaining episode of Station 19 (which could be streamed with a Hulu subscription), all of our heroes flashed ahead to point out a glimpse of what their futures would possibly appear like. For Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss), we noticed that Disaster One had grow to be a nationwide success, and she or he and bestie Travis Montgomery (Jay Hayden) had been residing their finest life, vacationing collectively in Paris. Nevertheless, had there been a Season 8, Peter Paige informed EW:
We would have set Vic off on an journey earlier than she got here again, realizing how a lot she missed her household and the way a lot she wanted to be again with everybody in Seattle.
He mentioned on this state of affairs, Travis wouldn’t have adopted Vic to DC, and let’s be actual, their platonic love story was among the best components of that finale. Additionally, if Vic solely left quickly, she wouldn’t be carrying on Dean Miller’s legacy, and we’d have been robbed of that cameo by Okieriete Onaodowan — his first look on the sequence since his heartbreaking Station 19 loss of life in Season 5.
I’m Comfortable With Who Beckett Ended Up With, Not The ‘Unrequited Love’ That Was Deliberate For Him
Josh Randall’s Sean Beckett had fairly the arc in Station 19’s later seasons, hitting all-time low together with his ingesting downside. Within the finale it seemed like issues had actually come collectively, and in an amusing twist, he fell in love with Natasha Ross’ sister Jinny (Yunjin Kim). Had Station 19 been renewed, nevertheless, Beckett would have developed emotions for Vic. Peter Paige mentioned:
We had some good unrequited love stuff for him. Whenever you get assist from an individual, you place your emotions on that particular person. He and Vic had been getting actually shut and she or he actually saved his life.
I had a sense that’s the place Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige is likely to be taking this story when it was airing, and as sensible because it is likely to be for Beckett to fall for Vic after she saved him, I used to be not a fan of this concept. Additionally, it seems like it might have meant extra heartache for Beckett, who’d already been by way of a lot. The way in which it performed out, no less than he lastly bought a contented ending.
When it comes to the opposite characters, the EPs mentioned we might have seen Carina DeLuca’s job expanded and presumably extra with Maya Bishop’s homophobic brother. That will have been high quality, however I’ve to say I believe their story ended completely.
Season 8 may additionally have proven us extra of Jack Gibson’s post-firefighting life and spent extra time creating Travis’ relationship with Dominic (Johnny Sibilly). These tales admittedly would have been actually nice to see, however I believe the writers wrapped these plots in a satisfying manner.
Don’t get me unsuitable, after all I’d have most popular for Station 19 to both get renewed or saved by one other community for our Seattle firefighters’ drama to proceed. So far as the journeys we went on with these beloved characters, although, I simply sort of like how issues performed out.
