When will Shondaland shows like How to Get Away with Murder, Scandal, and For the People premiere in 2019?
Grey’s Anatomy ended its eighteenth season with Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) coming to terms with his imminent departure from Seattle. And according to Camilla Luddington, who plays Jo, her character will remain at Grey Sloan Memorial for some time in order to support Meredith. Jo’s still around. I think she was there because of Maggie leaving, so I think she’ll probably stay there a little bit longer just to be that person that Mer can lean on when she needs it. I don’t know how long that is going to be. It could be a while or it could be not very long at all. But I do know that they have said that Jo is staying there for a little bit longer so we’ll see what happens after that!
A Timeline of Every Major Character’s Life on Grey’s Anatomy
The nineteenth season of Grey’s Anatomy, which is slated to premiere on September 24, will be a big one for star Ellen Pompeo. She recently renewed her contract with ABC for two more seasons—season 20 and season 21—making her Grey’s’ first ever series regular. This means that, for only the second time in its long run (the first being Chandra Wilson), viewers won’t see a major character leave Grey’s mid-season.
A timeline of what every character has been up to since we last saw them
When we last saw them, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) had finally told her sister, Maggie (Kelly McCreary), that she and Nathan Riggs (Martin Henderson) were together. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) was trying to figure out what Shonda Rhimes’ trick-or-treat costume was. Meredith Grey delivered Zola back to Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), but only after they agreed they’d both make sacrifices for their relationship.
