With Gray’s Anatomy Season 22’s premiere simply a few weeks away at this level, the clues about what to anticipate from the return after that huge explosion have continued piling up. However what do they level to?
Properly, the most recent is that this: TV Line spoke to the season’s showrunner, Meg Marinis, who hinted at a few Gray Sloan Memorial surgeons’ fates. Within the interview, she revealed that Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) and Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) will lead separate lives after their huge breakup scene, which suggests each of them are virtually actually within the clear. Marinis additionally indicated that Ben Warren (Jason George) is perhaps getting a second lease on surgical life with Teddy on account of the explosion chaos — “She might not have been seeing what he has to supply,” she mentioned — so meaning Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) might be going to be advantageous.
The most important query is, after all, whether or not Atticus “Hyperlink” Lincoln (Chris Carmack) will survive since he was in an precise working room on the time of the blast. To TV Line, Marinis confirmed that each Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) and Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington) can have main reactions to Hyperlink’s end result — however what that’s stays unclear. Couple that with this tease from the showrunner’s interview with Leisure Weekly: “We clearly noticed Hyperlink in speedy hazard. We’ll simply should see whether or not Hyperlink makes it by this explosion…” At this level, it’s beginning to really feel like a “thou doth protest an excessive amount of”-style scenario the place Hyperlink’s loss of life would simply be too apparent. The true subversion of expectation can be if he survived to see his twin daughters with Jo born, regardless of being squarely within the midst of hazard, and it was another person who perished … or nobody in any respect.
Elsewhere, there are indicators that Monica Beltran (Natalie Morales) shall be OK because of a behind-the-scenes shot, and Jules Millen (Adelaide Kane) was proper subsequent to her on the time. Simone Griffith (Alexis Floyd) didn’t look like she’d simply misplaced her boyfriend in a disaster within the first Season 22 stills, so Lucas Adams (Niko Terho) is also advantageous.
Nothing is definite about any of this, after all, however we’re beginning to wonder if there’ll truly be any casualties of the explosion in any respect. We’ve been repeatedly promised “chaos,” however that doesn’t essentially imply carnage.
But when Hyperlink survives, and everybody else does, too, would that be an excessive amount of of a bait-and-switch after a summer time filled with nail-biting anticipation? Gray’s Anatomy has actually set a precedent that few characters have true plot armor, so does the present have to kill off a personality after leaving us on that explosive finish to take care of the inertia of the present? In any case, it’s been some time… The final main character to die on Gray’s was Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) in Season 17. Or is it higher if everybody emerges unscathed, regardless of the severity of the incident? Hit the ballot under to weigh in along with your vote!
