Grey’s Anatomy Showrunner Reveals Whether Alex and Izzie Could Return – TV Fanatic

Grey's Anatomy may have reunited Alex (Justin Chambers) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) off-screen, but could they actually stage a return to the series down the line?

The showrunner of the series was asked that question in a recent interview with Deadline following the impromptu sixteenth season finale.

In a wild twist of fate, Alex left Jo behind in Seattle and reunited with his former love Izzie, and they are living on a farm in Kansas, where they are raising their children.

Given that Heigl was not on the best of terms with Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes when she exited the series, many fans thought a return would be out of the question.

But for current showrunner, Krista Vernoff, she thinks it would not be impossible.

"When I left the show in season 7, people asked me if there was any chance of me ever coming back, and I was smart enough to say, 'Never say never'," she told Deadline. "Here I am, so who knows?"

While it seems unlikely to ever happen, at least fans can take solace in the fact that Alex and Izzie got a happy ending.

It wasn't enough for some fans, but it was a way to say goodbye to the characters amid Justin Chambers' exit from the series.

Grey's Anatomy has a track record of killing off beloved characters, so at least Alex and Izzie are still living.

That means the possibility is always there for them to return in some capacity, but given that all signs are pointing towads Grey's Anatomy Season 17 being the last-ever season, it seems unlikely for now.

Grey's Anatomy recently wrapped its 16th season with four episodes unproduced, but the impromptu finale worked well in bringing the show to a close ... for now.

ABC has already ordered up Grey's Anatomy Season 17, but one star has said he is "confident" it will be the show's last hurrah.

Whether that will be the case, we don't know.

What do you think of the potential returns of Alex and Izzie?

Grey’s Anatomy boss responds to whether Justin Chambers or Katherine Heigl could return – digitalspy.com

Grey's Anatomy season 16 spoilers follow.

Grey's Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff has addressed whether or not Justin Chambers or Katherine Heigl could return to the series.

Chambers made his exit from the show during season 16, and in a twist, his character Alex Karev was later revealed to have reunited with Izzie Stevens, who was played by Heigl between 2005 and 2010.

Alex and Izzie are now living happily together and raising twins on a farm in Kansas.

In an interview with Deadline, Vernoff was asked about the possibility of Chambers or Heigl reprising their roles in the future, especially since neither of them were killed off. The showrunner replied by saying that a shock return for either character wouldn't be impossible.

"When I left the show in season 7, people asked me if there was any chance of me ever coming back, and I was smart enough to say, 'Never say never'," she said. "Here I am, so who knows?"

During the same interview, Vernoff admitted that she wasn't surprised by the divisive reaction to how Alex was written out.

"I believe that there would've been at least as big an outcry if we had killed that character off-camera, and those were our choices," she said, before adding that she "felt satisfaction" and was "really happy" with Alex's fate.

The 16th season ended four episodes early, resulting in several planned storylines including for Teddy Altman and Andrew DeLuca being cut.

There have also been reports that a major character death was supposed to happen in the original season finale.

Grey's Anatomy airs on Thursdays on ABC in the US. It airs on Sky Witness in the UK with selected episodes also available on NOW TV.

The anatomy of failure: How and why the emergency alert system was not activated when a mass murderer was roaming around Nova Scotia – Halifax…

Lillian Hyslop. Photo: Facebook.

Wentworth Valley resident Heather Matthews believes her walking companion might still be alive if the RCMP or Nova Scotias Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) had issued a special alert early Sunday morning to stay inside. Instead, she says Wentworth resident Lillian Hyslop a 60 year old, community-minded person, and parent was gunned down during her daily walk by a killer who had already taken multiple victims and was the subject of a 10-hour manhunt.

If there is ever hopefully never a next time let people know, urges Matthews. Theres so many different reasons why we should be given an alert that could save lives. They give us the Amber alert, we get the COVID-19 alert twice over the Easter weekend?

Heather Matthews lives above the former Highway 104, known locally as The Four, that runs past the Wentworth Ski Hill north toward Oxford. She and her husband David were walking Sunday morning along a forested path parallel to the road when they heard what they described as a single gunshot. Heather estimates the time of the shooting at 9:20-9:30am because she had checked the clock before leaving home.

When the couple returned home, they had a phone call from a neighbour warning them to lock their doors and not go outside because there were reports a gunman was in the area. Heather Matthews immediately called Lillian Hyslops mother-in-law to tell her, but it was too late. Lillian had already left for her daily walk. She died near the entrance to the Wentworth Provincial Park.

I really believe if there had have been an alert sent out, some of these random people that were shot would not have been shot, Matthews told the Halifax Examiner. The people he had targeted, thats one thing. But these people he got just because they were there?

The women [employed by the VON] like Kristen Beaton and Heather OBrien who were out driving. Perhaps if they had been given warning, Matthews voice trailed off.

There are also questions in the community about whether Tom Bagley, 70, would have died if an alert had been issued over the cellphone network or the radio. Bagley was out for a walk when he saw a house burning on Hunter Road. Two people inside, Corrections Canada managers Sean McLeod and Alanna Jenkins, perished in the blaze. The Wentworth Fire Department was notified about the fire, but firefighters were instructed not to respond because the situation was too dangerous. Bagley didnt know that. The retired firefighter with the Canadian Armed Forces went to help and was shot and killed by the gunman.

At 9pm on Saturday night, the RCMP communications people were evidently in a good mood. They posted a fun tweet, which in hindsight is eerily sad:

Its Saturday and our #9PMROUTINE is complete! That means we get to relax for the evening and sleep in tomorrow. Are you done your #lockup? When you are, share this post! pic.twitter.com/WBfYWsUDNn

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

An hour and a half later, at 10:26pm, RCMP officers responded to a possible shooting in Portapique, said RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

At about 11:08 pm, a first responder at Portapique reported that:

So theres a structure fire. Theres a person down there with a gun. Theyre still looking for him. The patient we have got shot by him. He was just down there observing the fire, checking out the fire, so there could be other patients around the fire that could be gone already, but were not sure. Police are stationed at the end of the road there on the 2, not letting anybody down any further but its very vague whats going on down there but there is for sure multiple patients down there.

So police knew there were multiple people shot and the gunman was on the loose, but at about 11:30pm, the RCMP tweeted only that there was a firearms complaint in the Portapique area.

#RCMPNS is responding to a firearms complaint in the #Portapique area. (Portapique Beach Rd, Bay Shore Rd and Five Houses Rd.) The public is asked to avoid the area and stay in their homes with doors locked at this time.

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

Leather said that the search for the gunman continued into the evening and early morning hours on Sunday. In response to new information indicating the suspect was not in the secure perimeter [around Portapique], at 8:02am on Sunday, the RCMP began providing real-time information on its Nova Scotia RCMP Twitter account.

But the 8:02am tweet implied only that the shooter was in the Portapique area:

#RCMPNS remains on scene in #Portapique. This is an activeshooter situation. Residents in the area, stay inside your homes & lock yourdoors. Call 911 if there is anyone on your property. You may not see the policebut we are there with you #Portapique.

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

The next tweet from the RCMP came at 8:54 AM, and it carried a photo of the suspect along with this message. The only hash-tagged location in the message was Portapique.

Around this time, there was the house fire on Hunter Road in Wentworth, over 40 kilometres from Portapique, where the two corrections officers Alanna Jenkins and Sean McLeod lived. Only later, on Monday, would the RCMP add their names to the list of the perpetrators victims, along with that of Tom Bagley, the 70-year-old neighbour and retired firefighter who went to the burning house to see if he could help, only to be shot and killed. And Lillian Hyslop was killed while walking along The Four.

At that point, there had been no mention in RCMP tweets that the killer had left Portapique, or of any danger in Wentworth, and yet the RCMP told firefighters not to attend the scene because of the danger of the gunman.

The next tweet came at 10:04am:

#RCMPNS is advising people to avoid Hwy 4 near Hidden Hilltop Campground in #Glenholme. Gabriel Wortman is in the area. Please stay inside your homes and lock your doors. #Portapique

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

The very first reply to that tweet came from MaritimeGirL who wrote:

This should be announced on the emergency alert system. People out there driving may have no clue.

At 10:13am Sunday first responders reported two cars in MVA (motor vehicle accident) with possible entrapment (people trapped in the vehicles) at 1760 Plains Road in Debert:

At 10:15am, said Leather, the Emergency Management Office (EMO) contacted the RCMP to offer the use of the public emergency alerting system. We were in the process of preparing an alert when the gunman was shot and killed by the RCMP.

The problem with that explanation is that an hour and 25 minutes elapsed between 10:15 and the time the Twitter account announced that the gunman was in custody (curiously, the account did not say the gunman was killed).

During that period, nine more tweets were issued.

Two connected tweets at 10:17am and 10:21am:

Gabriel Wortman is currently in the #CentralOnslow #Debert area in a vehicle that may resemble what appears to be an RCMP vehicle & may be wearing what appears to be an RCMP uniform. Please stay inside and avoid the area. #RCMPNS

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

Those tweets elicited an immediate tweeted reply from Joanne Roberge, who tagged Premier Stephen McNeil:

If there was ever a time to send out an emergency sound off alert to everyones phone it is now! You sent it out on Easter to have people stay home this is just as serious.

Another two at 10:39am:

Thank you for your understanding as we work to provide the most updated information while addressing public and officer safety. 2/2 #Portapique #CentralOnslow #Debert #Glenholme #Colchester

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

And another one at 11:04am:

Gabriel Wortman, suspect in active shooter investigation, last seen travelling southbound on Hwy #102 from #Brookfield area in what appears to be RCMP vehicle & may be wearing RCMP uniform. Suspect's car is 28B11, behind rear passenger window. If you see 28B11 call 911.

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

Once again there was an immediate reply from a follower Levi Marshall asking for an alert:

Can we get an emergency alert please! Not everyone checks their phones after waking up?

Yet another tweet at 11:06am:

Gabriel Wortman, suspect in active shooter investigation, now believed to be driving small silver Chevrolet SUV. Travelling southbound on Hwy #102 from #Brookfield area If seen, call 911.

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

At that time, Joey Webber was on a family errand towards Shubenacadie, Halifax councillor Steve Streatch told the Halifax Examiner. [Joeys] father told me this morning that [Joey] came right up around the ramp where the police cars were on fire there. He just left the service station to come up around, and he met the face of evil.

Joey was killed. The gunman took the silver Chevy Tracker Joey had been driving.

The RCMP tweeted out at 11:24am:

Confirmed suspect vehicle is silver Chevy Tracker. Last seen #Milford. If seen, call 911.

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

Then at 11:35am:

To clarify, the suspect in our active shooter investigation, Gabriel Wortman, is NOT employed by the RCMP but he may be wearing an RCMP uniform. He is considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, do NOT approach and call 911 immediately.

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

And finally, at 11:40am:

Gabriel Wortman, suspect in active shooter investigation, is now in custody. More information will be released when available. Thank you for your cooperation and support. #Colchester

RCMP, Nova Scotia (@RCMPNS) April 19, 2020

Oddly, the final tweet did not mention that the gunman was killed.

At todays daily COVID-19 briefing, Canadian Press reporter Keith Doucette had the following exchange with Premier Stephen McNeil:

Doucette: The US Consulate in Halifax issued an email alert to their citizens on Sunday about an active shooter based on the Nova Scotia RCMPs Twitter feed. Why was the province waiting for official word from the Mounties before issuing an emergency alert?

McNeil: Well, thats the protocol in place when it comes to EMO. As you know, the emergency alert, the lead agency is the one who has to put the message together. We would not go by whats happening by Twitter. We would need the lead agency to actually craft the message so that we could put that out and no message was received even though EMO had reached out a number of times throughout the morning to the RCMP.

Doucette: Why did you have EMO staff in anyway? It appears that you were anticipating that something was needed and then nothing happened. Is that a question for you, that youre wondering about?

McNeil: That command centre wouldve been going around COVID, so we stood that on early on, EMO put that up. But through a number of things that we were seeing on, or the EMO staff was seeing on Twitter, they called in their support staff around the alert message team and then began to reach out to the RCMP, who would have to craft the message or work with our team to craft that message and no message was received.

This morning, the Emergency Management Office confirmed to the Halifax Examiner that the Provincial Coordination Centre (PCC), from which emergency alerts can be issued, has been staffed seven days a week (but not nights) since the COVID-19 State of Emergency was declared on March 22.

The Halifax Examiner was not provided the opportunity to ask a question at the COVID-19 briefing. But we wanted to follow up the exchange between Doucette and McNeil by asking: What exactly is the emergency alert system for, if not for making the quick decision to alert the public to imminent danger?

McNeil seemed to be describing a complex alert system, such that the PCC first has to be staffed, and then get an ask from whatever the lead agency is in the case of an emergency. Then, the lead agency, perhaps in cooperation with the EMO, has to craft an alert, and only then can the alert be activated.

Is this bureaucratic system overly complex? What if the emergency happens at night, or otherwise when the PCC isnt staffed? More to the point, what happens if the emergency the public is to be alerted about has a timeframe shorter than the hour and 25 minutes it took between the EMO asking the RCMP to request an alert and the RCMP crafting it? What if there are only moments to spare, as in the case of a tsunami, or tornado, or missile attack or, as it turns out, a mass murderer on the loose?

Can the alert system serve to alert anyone to a real impending emergency?

Terry Canning thinks the system can work just fine; it just didnt this time. Canning was the emergency communications coordinator for the province for 15 years. Before that he was a specialist inmulti-agency trunked mobile radio systems. He is now a radio communications consultant.

We contacted Canning to ask about the lack of an emergency alert during Sundays murder spree.

Somebody within the Royal Constabulary fucked up big time, said Canning in an interview with the Examiner Wednesday evening. And relying on fucking Twitter of all things.

Canning said he has no immediate knowledge of events over the weekend, but in my experience, and Ive been in the emergency response field for 35 years, you would appoint a public information officer pretty quickly in a situation like that. And one of the first responsibilities of a PIO is to distribute information. Obviously, the most efficient way to do that was through the provincial public alert system, without a doubt.

Canning said that even when the PCC is closed, an EMO staffer is on call 24 hours a day, and they have to be within landline or cellphone range during their shift. They also carry radios.

He couldnt say for sure if the off-hours staffer can issue an alert without travelling to the PCC, but he thinks it likely.

Id be very surprised if they dont have some means through the internet, obviously, to get on line and issue the alert from wherever they are, but thats outside my scope of knowledge I cant say that categorically, but Id be very surprised if one of the duty officers couldnt be able to do that wherever they happen to be, so long as they have internet service.

The Examiner has requested a copy of the procedures and policies for issuing an emergency alert, but as of publication, the EMO has not provided it.

TMNT Anatomy: The Weirdest Things About the Ninja Turtles’ Bodies – CBR – Comic Book Resources

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtleswere created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and first appeared in Mirage Comics in 1984. Since then they've appeared in television shows, movies, video games and comic books. TMNT has been entertaining people for decades and every generation has looked different, but Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael have always been there with their humanoid turtle anatomy, kicking butt.

If there were any doubts regarding the turtle's superhero nature, those have squashed thanks to recent team-ups with Batman and the Power Rangers along the way. TheTurtles' super abilities aren't put on blast like many other popular heroes, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Related:TMNT #101 Is the Ideal Jumping-On Point Heres Why

The TMNT were created by a mysterious radioactive ooze that mutated them into humanoid turtle creatures. The mutations culminatedin heavily armored features like their shells and cranial plates. Their hands became tridactyl forelimb with opposable thumbs that allow them to maneuver their weapons and their feet are similar, but only have two digits. The Turtles's internal organs resemble human anatomy,including a chambered heart structure and similar intestinal system. They also possess the emotional depth of a human and many human interests and tastes -- like pizza, for one.

The Turtles have always possessed meta-human abilities like enhanced strength, speed, agility and reflexes. They're also resistant to cold. Splinter's ninjutsu training allowed the turtles to hone and strengthen their abilities to incredible levels. Leonardo even took his ninjutsu training to otherworldly heights by obtaining the ability to heal himself and others from fatal wounds. This healing ability goes beyond theTurtles' amphibious healing properties. The height of this power allowed Leo to cure himself of a so-called incurable venom when he was fighting Shredder's estranged daughter.

While their muscle and skeletal structures combine many elements from turtles and humans,the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' shellsare incredibly similar to real turtle shells. The plastron and the carapace combine to cover the Turtles' front and back to cover all their vital organs. Even the simpler animations show the shells divided into smaller subsections, whichare points where the individual bones fuse and form into a shell.

Their shells take the place of their abdominal muscles and collar bones and relay a lot of synchronicity between their human and turtle anatomy. Their shells are bulletproof and can withstand enormous kinetic force, making them incredibly resistant in battle -- which allows them to more easily defend against multiple opponents at once. The shells also provide situational offensive capabilities, like when the turtles hurl themselves like cannonballs at their foes.

Jennika is the fifth member of the TMNT and is objectively the most unique turtle of the bunch. Not only was she human at one time, but she also worked for Shredder was one of Splinter and theTurtles' most deadly foes. After she was gravely wounded, the Turtles decided to save her life with a blood transfusion. Leo was Jennika's blood donor and his mutated blood transformed Jennika into a turtleoid, whereas the original turtles were turned into humanoids. Jennika's Turtle form is far more slender than her male counterparts and she dawns a bright yellow eye mask to complete her look.

Jennika's main weapon choice is a set of claws, keeping an element of her Foot Clan past with her during her new life as a hero in a half shell. It's Jennika's mental fortitude that sets her apart. Not only does she have an entire lifetime of human memories, she's dealing with all of the mental hurdles of a mid-life species change. Jennika brings a lot more weight and human nuance to her character, which makes her a completely new breed ofMutant Ninja Turtle.

Related:TMNT: Jennika #1 Offers a Punk-Rock Look at the Newest Hero in a Half Shell

The turtles have gone through some changes over the years. While they generally remain the same, there have been some radical exceptions to the rule. One time, Leo lost his hand in a battle with a mutated Komodo Dragon named King Komode and in the same comics series, Raphael's face became permanently scarred. These incidents are no longer considered canon, but theyprovide an idea of theTurtles' healing limitations and the extent of their pain tolerance.

Donny and Raph have gone through the weirdest changes of them all, like the one time they turned into vampires during a collision with Universal Studio's classic monsters-- including Dracula. Donny also becomes a cyborg at one time when his body is damaged from a nearly fatal fall out of a helicopter. Donny merged with one of the cyborgs he and his brothers were fighting to save his life and the CPU altered his brain to make him more aggressive and feel less remorse. His extra mechanical features included blasters and improved armor.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may have started as turtles mutated into humanoids by toxic ooze, but they have come a long way since and are now genuine heroes with incredible power.

Okay, Theres a Greys Anatomy Theory Going Around Saying Jackson Might Die – Cosmopolitan

Gilles MingassonGetty Images

Its been a few weeks since Greys Anatomy season 16 ended, but fans are desperately trying to figure out what would have happened if the season got the last few episodes it was supposed to. One wild theory going around involves Jackson Avery, and fans on Reddit think that if the season had gone on as planned, he actually would have died.

Greys ended its season on episode 21. It was supposed to have 25 episodes total. Obviously, the writers have been weaving the Greys and Station 19 storylines together lately, so the new Station 19 episodes hold some clues for what would have happened in those last four episodes of Greys. The synopsis for an upcoming Station 19 episode says, Ben, Jackson and Emmett are put in a precarious and dangerous position with a potential victim.

Doesnt seem like anything that would cause alarm, right? But someone on Reddit wrote this: According to press release for episode 15 for Station 19, Jackson along with Ben and the newbie are put in a dangerous position. I think thats a given that Jackson would have been the one to die.

Okay, Im not sure that its a given, and I dont totally get the leap between Jackson being in a dangerous position and him straight-up dying (unless the internet knows something I dont), but other people on the Reddit thread agreed. That theory makes a lot of sense, one commenter wrote. Also, his character pretty much peaked and died when Sarah Drew left the show.

And even if youre not totally sold on the Station 19 connection, people were saying Jackson was toast before that episode info dropped. On a different Reddit thread totally unrelated to that, fans wrote they think Jackson will be the next to go. So, um, I guess if you see Jackson die early in the next season of Greys, you heard it here first.

Greys Anatomy season 17: Is Richard Webber still in danger? Showrunner confirms fate – Express.co.uk

Greys Anatomy was brought to a premature close after its 16th season finished four episodes early. However, in the finale it seemed Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr) was officially on the mend - heres what showrunner Krista Vernoff had to say about this.

Fans of Greys Anatomy were left in turmoil when Richard began experiencing some worrying symptoms.

This all happened when he hallucinated seeing his wife at a conference he was speaking at.

Then he blacked out and collapsed, leading viewers to believe he was in serious danger.

However, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) was tasked with finding exactly what was wrong with him.

READ MORE:Grey's Anatomy: Is this the last season of Grey's Anatomy?

This was thankfully resolved in episode 21 when she worked out his symptoms were caused by cobalt poisoning from his hip replacement.

Atticus "Link" Lincoln (Chris Carmack) operated on him and seemed to fix the problem but viewers never saw him recovered and well before the season came to an end.

This, therefore, left some concerned he might not be out of the woods just yet.

Thankfully, showrunner Vernoff has now confirmed what happened next to Richard.

Asked by Deadline if this meant he was now safe, she said: "Yes and I thought that that was one of the most amazing things about this diagnosis.

[It] was that the cobalt poisoning thing is real and it really can cause all of those symptoms.

It can cause dementia-like symptoms. It can cause Parkinson's-like symptoms tremors, hallucinations and the amazing thing about it is that once you diagnose it, and you get the leaky hip out of your body, you can recover, totally.

That felt, just as the storyteller, an amazing thing because it let us give Jim Pickens this really rich, rich material, without us having to permanently disable his character.

I think that that was an amazing ride for the fans, because the outcry of [us] showing symptoms that don't feel like they have cures.

She went on to explain why this made his storyline so gripping for viewers of the show.

Vernoff added to the publication: "There's not really a cure for Parkinson's. There's not a cure for Alzheimer's.

"So I know everyone was in a panic, and so, we got to tell this really satisfying story, and we got to let people know that sometimes, there's another diagnosis for those symptoms.

Which we found fascinating, as a group of writers who write medicine, that it's so rare to see something this satisfying.

Fans will see Richard back to his old self in the upcoming 17th season of the show.

The new outing has officially been confirmed but it is not clear when it will be released yet.

The coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak could see the series delayed from its usual September slot.

Greys Anatomy is available to catch-up on ABC and Sky

Grey’s Anatomy boss reveals two storylines they couldn’t finish – digitalspy.com

Grey's Anatomy season 16 spoilers follow.

Grey's Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff has revealed two storylines for season 16 that the show was forced to cut due to the season ending early.

The 21st episode ended up as the season's makeshift finale, but there were originally four more episodes planned.

Speaking to Deadline, Vernoff described two plots that viewers would have seen happen: a storyline that would have explored why Teddy Altman cheated on Owen Hunt, and a storyline involving Andrew DeLuca that would have revisited the human trafficking case.

"We had an episode coming up where we were able to better articulate and better understand what's prompting Teddy's behaviour, and we don't get to air it," the showrunner said.

"Who knows, maybe it's going to change between now and when we'll actually shoot it for season 17, but I feel for Kim Raver.

"The amount of standing is high, and we've left her in a strange place. It's compelling... Why, when she was finally getting her happy ending, did she sabotage [the relationship]? I think it's [a] super-rich area, personally."

Related: Grey's Anatomy boss confirms "reset" ahead of next season after season 16 forced to end early

And speaking about DeLuca's incomplete storyline, Vernoff explained: "The other story that I was really disappointed that we couldn't complete... we did a story where there was a victim of human trafficking like two episodes ago, and DeLuca recognised it but he was in such a mentally compromised, manic state that nobody listened to him and the girl left.

"We had an episode where she comes back, and I am really sad that we can't air that episode this season because it felt important to offer that kind of hope to people who are living that experience.

"I may still complete that story next season."

Recent reports have also suggested that a major character death was planned for the original season finale. Vernoff didn't confirm or deny this, but did say that fans can watch the remaining episodes of Station 19's third season to find clues.

"Ironically, when fans watch episode 15 and 16 of Station 19, they will probably have a feeling of some of what we had planned for [the original Grey's finale]," she explained to TVLine.

One long-running storyline that was thankfully resolved in time was Richard Webber's mysterious illness, which turned out to be cobalt poisoning from a leaky hip replacement.

Grey's Anatomy airs on Thursdays on ABC in the US. It airs on Sky Witness in the UK with selected episodes also available on NOW TV.

Bolton 1-3 Reading FC: The Anatomy Of A Perfect Away Day – The Tilehurst End

Its an age-old conversation topic for football fans that can easily fill an evening in the pub, or multiple for the die-hard. Whats your favourite ever away game?

Reading fans are pretty blessed in this regard. The obvious answers include Southampton and West Ham away in 2012, the play-off demolition of Cardiff a year earlier, and the Bryniesta inspired beating Liverpool in the FA Cup.

But every fan has their personal favourites, those perfect days that rest in the lower tiers of Reading folklore. Mine include the 3-1 promotion six-pointer win at Birmingham in 2008, the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford earned by our second-string XI in the 2006/07 FA Cup. And then theres Bolton.

On April 21, 2007, 13 years ago as I sit here today, Steve Coppells side found themselves 1-0 down to Bolton at the Reebok Stadium with 83 minutes on the clock. On the face of it, this isnt a particularly impressive prologue to a Lazarus-esque tale.

But Reading were dreaming of Europe in their first season of Premier League football, and Sam Allardyces side were a major rival with established faces such as Nicolas Anelka, Kevin Nolan and El Hadji-Diouf in their ranks. It was also a chance to see how the other half lives. A decade-and-a-half earlier, Bolton were not an intrinsically bigger team and their rise in that period set the blueprint for the Royals own ambitions - having featured something of a fork in the road 12 years earlier.

The hosts had generally been the better team for those 83 minutes. Anelkas second-half opener came via an unfortunate attempted block from Nicky Shorey but couldnt really be argued with. Readings best chance came in an agonising goalmouth scramble that suggested a typically tough day in the life of a small fish in a big pond.

Then the last six minutes happened. Kevin Doyles frankly rude insistence on running at goal brought an errant leg from Abdoulaye Meite. That was the thing about that Reading team, they didnt care who you played for, they just turned up and beat you. They didnt know they were born. The Irishman picked himself up to slot home the equaliser.

Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen prepared to take a goal kick a minute later and took his time, earning a hounding from his own supporters desperate to re-take the lead. If only they knew what he knew. In the 89th minute, a cross from the right floated over to Doyle whose brazen arrogance allowed time for the ball to settle perfectly on the six-yard line, Bolton studs stabbing at his heels, before belting it home.

Reading had the lead but the fun wasnt over. Shorey tricked his way down the left wing and a perfect cross was only inches over the head of a hat-trick hunting Doyle. That left Shane Long with a free header to make it 3-1. Little did he know Stephen Hunt was barrelling in at 100mph, blinkers on, to headbutt the ball into the back of the net.

The atmosphere in the away end was next level. Its best shown by the photo at the top of this article as Doyle celebrates the equaliser, I can see 13-year-old me and my dad celebrating, split by the fan in the row above whose somehow been lifted six feet in the air. The final whistle rang around a suddenly empty Reebok Stadium - sending the home fans back down the stairs early being one of the finest and most unique joys of following football on the road.

There was still one Bolton fan looking on in disbelief, as the boxer Amir Khan stood in his executive box near the away end, and received hundreds of playful taunts by joyous visitors singing of a dream European Tour. It was also our first win on their turf since a certain day in 1995, a memory no doubt resonating in the minds of many that day.

For myself, 2006/07 was my first season on the road with Reading and Im sure Ive never beaten the W3 D1 L1 record I witnessed that campaign. With our family connections up north, my mum had come up with us and visited the retail park next door during the game. All that loud cheering, she was worried we had received a battering... until we told her it was the away end going bananas.

It is also timely that the anniversary of that beautiful Lancastrian day lands on an equally lovely day in our very different world. On these football-less times, memories like these remind us why we all cant wait to do it all again.

Grey’s anatomy boss on Meredith and Deluca’s fate – Andover Leader

- Advertisement -

Greys Anatomy is an American medical drama TV series which premieres on American broadcasting company (ABC).

This is a series that focuses on surgical interns, attending doctors and residents as they develop into seasoned doctors while maintaining their personal lives and relationships at the same time. There have been a total of whopping 16 seasons of this series.

This series always provides plenty of drama and season 16 has been no exception, particularly the season finale.

Put on a Happy Face was not intended to be the season finale, but premiered as one, as four planned episodes couldnt be produced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although, it served enough excitement to be one.

The major highlight of this episode was seeing Meredith Grey(Ellen Pompeo) and Andrew DeLuca(Giacomo Gianniotti) working out to figure out why Richard Webber(James Pickens Jr.) has been experiencing hallucinations.

They come to know that the reason for his condition was Cobalt poisoning from a hip replacement surgery. They enlisted Dr. Lincoln to remove the Cobalt that would send Webber on the road to recovery.

The question which arises is will their professional team up turn them up for their romance again which ended in catastrophe last time? Krista Vernoff, the showrunner of the series has hinted the same.

I will be fascinated to see how that storytelling emerges in season 17 because this story played in a way that I didnt picture, she reported Deadline. You know, you write a thing, and then the actors play it, and then it gets all put together, and then you know what the story is. You dont know how its going to play when you write it. Its been amazing for me to watch this story this season.

But if Meredith and DeLuca revive their romance, its not going to be easy. Because theres already a spark between Meredith and Cormac Hayes. Vernoff has said that theres hope for them as well.

I feel like Giacomo has been so compelling, and DeLuca has risen so much, and simultaneously, Hayes has been really compelling and feels very much like Merediths equal, she told. At this point, Im not even sure which couple Im rooting for, and thats always an exciting thing, she said.

Although Vernoff didnt reveal whether the reports of a major character dying in the intended season finale were true, she gave a clue to fans that how they can work it out.

Ironically, when fans watch episodes 15 and 16 of Station 19, they will probably have a feeling of some of what we had planned, she teased. She hinted.
