‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Fans Are Threatening to Quit the Show For 1 Frustrating Reason – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

In many ways, its hard to believe that Greys Anatomy is still on the air. Its been running for 16 seasons, with at least one more still to go. For millions, the show has become habit-forming. For some fans it has also become a habit to complain about it a lot.

Often its the unexpected exits of actors like Sarah Drew and Jessica Capshaw, and now one of the originals, Justin Chambers has departed as well. But now the problem is that Greys Anatomy has spun off a show called Station 19, people dont like being forced to watch it to keep up with Greys.

Many shows that have been on the air for more than nine seasons produced spin-offs. Sometimes they work out, like Cheers leading to Frasier. Other times they dont, with Happy Days spawning Joanie Loves Chachi. So far, both of Greys broadcast spinoffs have had decent runs.

The first, Private Practice, ran from 2007 to 2013 and focused on Kate Walshs character, Addison Montgomery, who left Seattle Grace to form her own practice. Although the move allegedly displeased some other Greys cast members, the show hung around for a solid run until season six, when Walsh decided to move on.

Station 19, which started in 2018, focuses on a fire station in, of course, Seattle. Since fire departments and hospitals commonly work together, the spinoff made sense thematically, but gauging fans reactions, the Greys Anatomy habit has stuck while Station 19 has not.

Fans generally prefer not towatch a show they skip to understand a show that they do watch. With an overabundance of viewing options out there, fans feel like they dont have time to keep up with everything, and some resent having to do homework to follow their favorite show.

A topic starter on Reddit groused, Im just incredibly angry that Im being manipulated to watch Station 19 to find out whats happening with the Greys characters and storyline. I should have DVRd this crap so I could fast forward thru the boring firehouse stuff.

Another fan concurred, saying Its more of the fact that were being forced to watch (Station 19) that makes it suck. A third commenter said, I dont have two consecutive hours to dedicate to TV, especially when I have no interest in half of it. Or more than half of it-at this point.

How well crossovers fare can depend on how theyre framed. The CWs superhero shows make an event out of it, with one week of shows per year where the heroes and villains of the different programs visit each others worlds.

Sometimes the story in the crossover had little to do with the main episodes, but more recently, Crisis on Infinite Earths had dramatic impacts on the individual series, because, one of them, Arrow, is going away.

Either way, the CW has gotten people to watch the crossovers by making them an event. Fans feel the showrunners have not done that with the medical/fire dramas.

This is hardly the first time Greys Anatomy has tried crossovers it was done while Private Practice was still running. The difference now seems to be that fans feel that watching Greys Anatomy is becoming less fun because its turning fun into work.

Companies like to boast that viewers have to watch one show to understand another. Disney has been saying that fans will need Disney+ to keep up with the Marvel movies because the Marvel TV shows will feed into them. It will be interesting to see how fans take a crossover when it moves from the theater to the TV, or vice versa.

‘Married to Medicine’ star Dr. Jackie Walters reveals what every woman should know about the male anatomy – Yahoo Lifestyle

If youre looking to make a big splash in the bedroom this Valentines Day, Jackie Walters, PhD, has a few tips to consider before diving headfirst into romance.

I describe the man as the King P, the Married to Medicine star says. We have the Queen V. We have the King P and there are things about the King P that all women need to know before the two connect, she adds.

An OB-GYN for over 20 years, Walters recently published The Queen V: Everything You Need to Know About Sex, Intimacy, and Down There Health Care a book that breaks down how to plan a trip to his nether-regions and which must-see sights to take in once you arrive.

In honor of Valentines Day, Yahoo Lifestyle talks to Walters about what to know before meeting the King P.

It is important to know whether your male has been circumcised or not, because men who have not been circumcised still have that skin on the glans, Walters explains.An uncircumcised man must pull back the foreskin to clean properly; otherwise, bacteria, cells, and oil can build up and cause odor and inflammation.

A lot of things can hide behind that covering, so you really want to know that theres not a herpetic lesion or genital wart or anything that you may miss, she adds.

The penis may look small when its not stimulated and erect, but it grows, assures Walters. You can certainly get creative if its not as endowed as you want it to be. There are certain positions and things you can do to still enjoy your partner if its not the biggest king youve ever seen.When encountering a King P with less length, she suggests having sex doggie style with a deep curve in your back or reverse cowgirl for maximum penetration.

If theres a concern over too much length, she recommends cowgirl or facing each other on your sides, both of which put the woman in control.

While Walters recommends doing a thorough investigation of the King P using sight, touch, and smell before having sex, the one sense she leaves out is taste.Do not put your mouth on it until you have all of the STIs back, Walters warns, Touch but dont taste.

Gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV and other STIs can be transmitted orally.

When planning a trip to his nether regions, it helps to have a map of where you want to go.

The scrotum is different from the testicle. The scrotum is the sac that holds the testicles, Dr. Walters breaks it down. The glans is the head of the penis while the shaft is the rest of the length, and the frenulum is where the foreskin meets the underside of the penis.

If you see something, say something. Know your mans anatomy, know if it doesnt look right or smell right, ask questions, she urges.

The penis has a brain too. Now we sometimes think its located there, Walters laughs. But men have feelings just like women, so be careful what we say. A little praise can go a long way.

This Valentines Day, mind these five rules and the King P and the Queen V can have their own happy, healthy ever after.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’-‘Station 19’ crossover: Angry fans slam Shonda Rhimes for ‘shoving it down their throat’ – MEAWW

It's been four weeks now that fans have been trying to bear with the ultra dull and boring 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Station 19' crossovers. It all started after the "car in the bar" fiasco.

Following the winter break, when 'Grey's Anatomy' came back with Episode 10 'Help Me Through The Night', the showrunners mashed it up with 'Station 19' Season 3 premiere.

For that one particular episode, it seemed to make sense as the firefighters pulled the car out of the bar and the doctors treated the injured patients. But, why has that crossover continued for all these weeks?

With every new episode, the makers are trying to introduce a 'Station 19' character to the 'Grey's Anatomy' world or vice versa. As if the two couple crossovers, Ben Warren-Miranda Bailey and Jackson Avery-Vic Hughes, were not enough.

Miffed with Shonda Rhimes, fans cannot take it anymore. Social media is abuzz with tweets about how they should totally stop!

"Can y'all stop forcing cross-overs? If I wanted to watch #Station19 I would. Stop inserting extra characters that no one is interested in. This isn't going to make Stations 19 a hit but it sure as heck is going to alienate #GreysAnatomy viewers," one tweet read.

Another said, "I am so sick of these #GreysAnatomy and Station 19 crossovers!!!"

"First, they tried to force Amelia and Owen on us, then Jackson and Maggie, and now they are forcing an entire show on us with all of these Station 19 crossovers," one viewer wrote.

Another said, "Okay I get #GreysAnatomy and #Station19 has the same showrunner now and are in the universe/city but is every single week going to pretty much be a crossover now? Because by the previews it looks like it will. Sometimes its okay but every week now?"

Many fans are angry. Really angry. "I haven't sat through 16 seasons of rollercoasters for station 19 to be shoved down my throat like a toddler with its vegetables #GreysAnatomy," one tweet read.

Another said, "Why are they shoving station 19 down our throats? Im still not gonna watch it!!" One even labelled it as "criminal" and said, "It's criminal how they sent off Karev on #GreysAnatomy and for Pete's sake stop trying to force #Station19 on us. No one likes it."

Slamming Rhimes, one fan wrote, "What's with all the #Station19 #GreysAnatomy crossovers? It's like being in a relationship for 16 yrs then finding out they an illegitimate child & now youre stuck w both of them. Like, I didnt sign up for this sh*t."

Are the show creators listening? Will they stop with the crossovers? No one has a clue. But they really do need to put a lid on melding the plotlines of 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Station 19' together for no reason at all.

Carla Gugino: ‘Sexuality is a primal part of who we are but it’s been misused’ – The Guardian

Carla Gugino has seen the headlines, too: femme fatale, screen siren, bombshell. I dont really relate to that much, she says, on a recent morning at a Manhattan cafe. Maybe an emotional bombshell.

Gugino, 48, has three decades of film, television and theatre under the belt of her high-waisted jeans. An actor of variety and intellect, who often channels sexuality like some high-voltage current, she is currently starring in Alice Birchs Anatomy of a Suicide at the Atlantic Theater. She is described in the play originally staged at the Royal Court in London in 2017 as the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen. In the cafe, in a stripy turtleneck and yesterdays mascara, her hair pulled into a funny sort of pompadour, bent over a cup of herbal tea (isnt that what all bombshells drink?), she arguably is.

If you know Gugino from childrens flicks (Spy Kids) or comic-book adaptations (Sin City, Watchmen) or disaster movies (San Andreas), you could be forgiven for wondering what she is doing in an avant garde off-Broadway drama. So here is what you should also know: in 2004, she made her Broadway debut, in Arthur Millers After the Fall, playing Maggie, the turbulent, unforgiving Marilyn Monroe-inspired role. I felt like I was home, she says. And from that moment, I realised, Oh, this is a huge. This has to be something I do for the rest of my life. She has returned to theatre every few years including in Eugene ONeills Desire Under the Elms, and in Athol Fugards The Road to Mecca. Seven years ago, she and her partner, the writer and director Sebastian Gutierrez, relocated to Manhattan. So when she does a play, she can usually walk to work.

Anatomy of a Suicide spoke to her, Gugino says, viscerally and intellectually. It simultaneously tracks three generations of women in three time periods (roughly: the 1970s, the 2000s, the 2030s), with many lines spoken in unison, which means that it demands extreme technical rigour. Playing a woman who wants to die makes emotional claims, too.

Its a really tricky place to live in, she says. Because it costs you, this play. And it should. She has been reading accounts of suicidal ideation and listening to podcast interviews, working toward someone who is always trying to crack life. She just cant. And I relate to that. Life is really hard, she says. All of us have those moments when you just dont know what your value is here and what the value of staying is, she says. So for me, there were personal elements. She just spoke to me, this woman.

Her character, Carol, has a perilous kind of magnetism. She fascinates people even or especially when she doesnt mean to. God we were all so in love with you in school, another character says. I know literally three girls who started smoking because you used to smoke. Guginos other current roles capitalise on that allure like Daisy, the thief she plays on the cable noir Jett (in televisual limbo now that Cinemax has killed its original programming division), or Stella, which she will act opposite Audra McDonalds Blanche and Bobby Cannavales Stanley in a Streetcar Named Desire revival this summer.

She calls sexuality a primal part of who we are and part and parcel of who I am and shes interested in exploring it in her work, she says, because as a woman, I find it to be a huge centre of our power that has been misused and misrepresented a lot of the time. (She doesnt quite put a movie like Sin City in that category, but she recognises that its sex scenes didnt come from character.) Still, she wished she werent asked about it quite so often because it speaks to a certain American puritanism. I find it so interesting that you can see a nipple shot off, but you cant see a woman walking from the bed to the bathroom naked without being commented on.

The violence in Anatomy of a Suicide is psychological, self-inflicted. Before each show, she prepares by running lines and listening to a piece of music that moves her closer to Carol, a lullaby of death, basically, she says. She and the rest of the cast take three breaths together, a ritual the director Lileana Blain-Cruz developed. After the show, the cast take three more breaths and then she plays a song that kind of brings me joy or makes me laugh or makes me want to dance, something to help her shake it off.

Every day, as she walks to work, she thinks about what she needs to accomplish that day, what her character will undergo. And I can feel, she says, that part of me thats like, Dont make me go there. But to know that she can? Exhilaration.

At the Atlantic theater, New York, until 15 March.

In the UK, the Samaritans can be contacted on 116 123. In the US, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is on 13 11 14. Hotlines in other countries can be found here.

New discovery: Madagascar’s bizarre aye-aye has six fingers on each hand – The Conversation Africa

The aye-aye is one of natures most fascinatingly bizarre creatures. Native to Madagascar, this lemur is the largest nocturnal primate in the world and has unique features that set it apart. It has batlike ears that allow it to echo-locate and rodent-like ever-growing incisors both unique among primates.

It is most famous for its exceptionally long and skinny fingers. In fact, they are so long that the aye-ayes hand accounts for about 41% of the total length of the forelimb.

The animals also have highly specialised, extremely long third digits middle fingers if you like which they use to find food. They tap them against wood to generate acoustic reverberations that allow them to find woodboring larvae. These are then fished out with exceptional dexterity because the finger can swivel like a shoulder, and it is so thin that the animal habitually rests it on its even longer fourth finger for support.

My colleagues and I recently found yet another unique specialisation that sets the aye-aye apart from other primates: a sixth finger on each hand.

Previously undocumented, this tiny extra digit - called a pseudothumb - is a structure on each wrist made of bone and cartilage. We think that it may have evolved to help the lemur grip branches as it climbs through the trees and to help it grasp small objects, since its other fingers became so long and specialised.

In my studies of primates, I always wanted to examine the exceptional hand structure of aye-ayes and I was recently able to dissect some specimens to do so.

Little is known about the actual population size of aye-ayes, but they are hard to find and a large-scale loss of their habitat suggests population decline.

My colleagues and I dissected six adult and one immature specimen. Of course, no animals were sacrificed for the purposes of this study. Three specimens were captiveraised, acquired from the Duke Lemur Centre in the US. Three were wildborn adults housed in the collections of the Musum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. One was a wildborn adult from Tsimbazaza Botanical and Zoological Park in Anatananarivo, Madagascar.

Dissections were performed to analyse the anatomy of the hand and wrist. A seventh specimen was used to create a digital reconstruction of these anatomical structures following MRI scanning and manual segmentation a technique similar to a medical scan that allows the anatomy to be viewed in three-dimensions in a digital space.

Our discovery of the extra digit was pretty much accidental. As we traced the tendon of one of the forearm muscles down past the wrist and into the hand, it unexpectedly split into two directions and the smallest bit extended to a strange little structure near the thumb.

When we examined the structure further, we noted a small bone and a cartilaginous extension that were moved in different directions by three different muscles. We realised the little structure was a pseudothumb. It even had its own fingerprint!

All the ayeaye specimens observed during the course of this study displayed this full suite of anatomical structures on each hand: it is not merely an anomaly, but is clearly a feature typical of the species.

Its rather mysterious that no one had noticed the finger before, but this could be because it is mostly embedded in the fleshy part of the hand and therefore easy to miss. It could also be that the long fingers are so distracting that anatomists just never noticed this small structure.

Collectively, the muscles associated with the ayeaye pseudothumb are positioned to enable adduction (moving it in toward the thumb), abduction (moving it away from the thumb) and opposition (moving it across the palm toward the little finger). Essentially, it moves in the same way as the real thumb.

My colleagues and I propose that there are three evolutionary scenarios for why the pseudothumb exists.

First, a pseudothumb may appear in species in which the thumb has become just another finger. That is what happened in the early bears: they lost the need for a thumb sticking toward the middle as this would just get in the way while the animal was walking.

Second, pseudodigits may emerge if the animal needs really broad hands for digging or swimming as in the case of some moles.

Lastly, a pseudodigit may develop when the hand has become hyperspecialised and in which the evolution of a pseudothumb can facilitate greater manual dexterity. This scenario would appear to explain the presence of a pseudothumb within the ayeaye.

We suggest that the tap foraging adaptations of the ayeaye hand have resulted in the loss of grip dexterity, and so the pseudothumb can help to address this.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Station 19’: Do Fans Love or Hate the Excessive Crossovers? – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

With yet another unofficial crossover tonight, Greys Anatomy fans are getting confused. Many fans were not sure if they were supposed to watch Station 19 before Greys Anatomy tonight. Lets take a look at how fans feel about the crossovers between the two shows.

Station 19 began as a spin-off to Greys Anatomy in March 2018. Originally only Ben Warren (Jason George) left the medical drama to become a firefighter at Station 19. A few crossovers were in the works, and some characters would appear on both shows every so often.

We dont want to do it every week, we dont want to create a mold, we dont want to fall into any kind of pattern, we dont want people to ever know what to expect, showrunner KristaVernoff told Deadline.

On Jan. 23, 2020, the two shows collided for a massive crossover as Greys Anatomys midseason premiere with Station 19s Season 3 premiere. ABC dominated ratings that Thursday night with the two shows. Since the ratings are doing so well, more crossovers are in the works.

Some fans feel forced to watch the spinoff and arent happy about it. Others view the crossover events but do not watch Station 19 on the regular. In those cases, they rely on other fans to fill them in on why certain things are happening.

Is there tension between the two S19 people? one fan asked on Reddit. This is why crossover sucks, Im lost on a potential relationship.

Another fan of both shows filled in the lost Greys Anatomy fan about what happened. This weeks episodes wasnt a crossover, so most fans only watched the later evening show.

I know its hard to find a storyline after 16 seasons, but please stop trying to make Station 19 happen, wrote another fan. I have enough trouble caring about the actual Greys cast; I dont need a new group of extras with lines to not care about.

Others are downright mad that they now have more new characters to worry about.

Although many viewers are confused about whether or not they should watch both shows every week, some do watch and love both. A few fans even like Station 19 more than Greys Anatomy.

Wow, this show is incredible, wrote onefan on Twitter. It was expected since its a spinoff of Greys Anatomy but being honest? Its way better than Greys, I mean, in character development and rep. Its so emotional, funny, well written!

However, other viewers cannot get on board with both shows.

OMG, another crossover,another Greys Anatomy fan tweeted. Really.really.how many more crossovers do we have to sit through before they realize we dont want them. If Station 19 cant stand on its own, then bye, but stop bringing#GreysAnatomy, and its characters down with it.

The bottom line is that you might miss out on some back story with your Greys Anatomy characters if you do not watch both shows. Station 19 airs at 8 pm ET on Thursday nights, with Greys Anatomy, immediately following at 9 pm ET.

Grey’s Anatomy Round Table: Levi Owns the Hour! – TV Fanatic

It was another one of those bottle episodes when Grey's Anatomy Season 16 Episode 12gave us insight on Levi and his background and family.

The hour also led to the dissolution of Catherine and Richard's marriage.

Join TV Fanatics Meaghan Frey,Paul Dailly, Jasmine Blu, and Grey's Fanatic Berea Orange as they discuss the hour.

Do you like these bottle episodes where they focus on a select few characters?

Meaghan: I don't hate them, but they usually aren't my favorite.

Levi's storyline surrounding his uncle Saul's death was touching and exactly what he needed. It made me so much more invested in his character.

The Webber-Fox dinner, while entertaining, was far too much time spent with Catherine.

Paul: They're hit or miss episodes. I enjoy some of them, but others feel like they don't belong in the narrative.

Berea: I usually always enjoy bottle episodes where we get to delve further into certain characters and their backstories. Learning more about Levi was good, and the family dinner was extremely entertaining.

Jasmine: They can be hit or miss for me. I liked half of this one and was uninterested in the other half.

What were your thoughts on Levi's storyline involving the death of his uncle Saul?

Meaghan: I loved it! Levi thinking he killed Saul with his confession was equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.

I killed him with my gayness.

The fact that Saul knew all along that Levi is gay, but never pushed him to talk about it shows just how much he loved and accepted him.

I am also so proud that it gave him the courage to stand up for himself and for the acceptance he deserves from his mom.

Paul: It was intriguing, and giving backstory to one of the better characters on the show was needed. Grey's Anatomy excels in character development, and I could watch more episodes about Levi's past.

Berea: Levi is very sweet, and so was this story. It was so nice knowing his Uncle Saul showed him favoritism because he knew him better than he knew himself at the time.

Jasmine: I love Levi, and his portion of the hour was my favorite. I kind of wish the entire episode was just about him and his family, he could have carried it just fine.

I loved that the show explored his faith in addition to showing how far he has come in embracing who he is. I was proud of Levi, and I loved Daniel.

Did you feel Mrs. Schmitt's homophobia came out of nowhere or do you think they covered it well?

Meaghan: It did come out of nowhere in some senses, but I think it was handled well. Not all homophobia is in your face and loud. Some of it is more quiet, like not accepting your son's sexuality enough to tell your family about it, or making your brother feel as if he needed to hide his sexuality his whole life.

Paul: I agree with Meaghan here. It felt thrown in to amp up the conflict and didn't actually serve the story well.

Berea: I actually feel like this was just another contrived storyline (as has become the norm for this season). It was an interesting story, but I dont remember this ever being discussed before now, so it seemed to have come out of nowhere.

When he introduced Nico to his mom as his boyfriend last season, I was under the impression that she accepted it.

Jasmine: I think the issue is how they eased it in. Because there were at least two instances where Levi was shown having tense conversations with his mom on the phone and speaking about her behavior, but they weren't memorable scenes.

They were so small and blink and you miss them type of scenes, and since those were the only breadcrumbs we had to go on, it does feel like it came out of nowhere.

Mrs. Schmitt: One day with Saul and you're super Jewish? Levi: No, but I am super gay.

So I can understand the confusion or annoyance with that, but aside from it, I was proud of Levi for how he approached it, and I did appreciate that if they had to go in that direction, they showed how subtle homophobia can appear because it isn't always the extreme type.

What are your thoughts on the "anniversary" dinner?

Meaghan: It felt a bit forced to me. I understand that they felt like Maggie and Jackson deserved an explanation, but they know the two of them aren't on good terms, and they thought the best way to deliver that type of news was together?

Also, while Vic's set up came from a good place, it was bizarre that she would think it is okay to try to fix up your boyfriend's ex-girlfriend without her permission, and bring that date to an event he wasn't invited to.

Paul: While I agree that it felt forced, it was bursting at the seams with drama. Grey's knows how to do dinner parties, and this was a great way to get the wheels moving on some of the storylines that had stalled.

Berea: This dinner was a hot mess, and I enjoyed every second of it. The shade being thrown by everyone was too funny. I was cracking up at every turn.

First, I would like to say I dont appreciate how theyve dumbed down Vics character for this storyline. How tacky are you as a plus one to invite another plus one to a dinner party?

Maggie: I thought we were celebrating. I brought chocolates. Richard: At least you didn't bring a date.

Jackson was out of line, too, for inviting her (making Maggie a 5th wheel) and not even telling his mother. Theyve made Vic extremely insecure to where she takes it upon herself to try and set Dean up with Maggie.

How she thought that was her place is a mystery to me. The entire dinner you see Maggie and Jackson bickering back and forth (obviously still into each other), and shes just smiling there like an idiot.

He wasnt even going to let her sit next to him at first (Oh my mom usually sits here), meanwhile Maggie was already seated on the other side of him.

I liked her character on the first two seasons of Station 19, but they are ruining her for the sake of this intershow romance drama.

This episode would have been the perfect opportunity for Vic to tell Jackson:

Hey, Ryans funeral [on Station 19 Season 3 Episode 3] made me realize Im still reeling from Ripleys death. And tonight has made it very clear youre not over your ex, so I think we should end this.

But of course, they want to continue this intershow romance for the sake of having some drama.

Additionally, the Catherine/Richard drama is ridiculous. He is being a petulant child. He took it upon himself to protect Meredith (once again) doing something both stupid and illegal. Bailey was completely in her right to fire all three of them.

Catherine: Richard, I am sorry but, Richard: Apologies don't have the word "but" after them. I'm sorry "But." I'm sorry, it's too late.

For him to be holding a grudge because she didnt support him is a joke.

Catherine herself has told Jackson before that nepotism is for the weak. Why would she go out of her way to stop Bailey firing him?

He didnt for a second think about how his actions would reflect on her in the first place. He is too old not to understand that actions have consequences.

The two of them and their lack of communication is mind-blowing. They need to just go to counseling and talk through this foolishness.

And this notion that Catherine would buy Pac North just to close it down is petty and out of character. But then again, she wouldnt be the first one out of character this season.

Jasmine: I thought it was mildly entertaining at times but mostly dumb AF. I didn't understand why they needed to have a formal dinner to announce their separation when all of them have been out of the loop with one another for ages.

Jackson inviting his new girlfriend to a family dinner without telling anyone was ignorant, and how does a plus one invite a plus one? I do agree that Vic is so out of character throughout all of this. It's maddening.

Dean was the saving grace of the dinner party.

Should Maggie work at Pac-North?

Meaghan: I think it is going to be triggering for her, but she will get past it eventually.

I am so confused why the writers would move yet another character over to Pac-North, where Alex is in charge when they don't have Justin Chambers anymore. His absence is going to be even more glaring the longer we spend at Pac-North.

Maggie: Um, Alex thinks I'm worth this much? Richard: Not just Alex, Maggie. Maggie: Then I guess I have a new job.

Paul: I'm on the fence. She will miss out on seeing a lot of her friends and family, but this could be a big opportunity for her, even if she sticks it out for a year. The experience will be valuable.

Berea: Eh. If Alex was still at Pac-North, and we got to see him and Maggie working together, I would be looking forward to it. But knowing thats not happening is not making me excited about it.

However, she should go ahead and take the offer since Tom wants to play games and not give her her job back at Grey-Sloan (which is another thing I take issue with). Maggie better get her job back as Chief of Cardio and NOT working under Teddy.

Jasmine: Meh. Why not?

I would've enjoyed it more if Alex was still there because of how close they used to be, and I'm assuming this was done before the abrupt departure, so there's that. Maybe she needs the break.

Her sisters are preoccupied with their lives to pay attention to what's happening in hers, and maybe a new place will do her some good.

Richard called it quits with Catherine and now she's buying Pac-North in retaliation. React.

Meaghan: Wow, that woman is a piece of work. That was such a spoiled brat move and yet so Catherine. Who buys a whole hospital just to get back at their estranged husband?

It is amazing that Jackson turned out as good as he did with Catherine raising him. I really wish they would just write her off the show. With such a huge cast, there is no room for someone as loathsome as her.

Paul: Catherine has been a frustrating character for some time now. She likes to control people, and I love that Richard is finally snapping back at her. Catherine does not love Richard, she likes the idea of him following her like a lemming. Richard's troubles are far from over, but this is a logical move for him.

Maggie: Jackson mentioned that he thought you two might be off but I had no idea. Richard: Catherine and I tend to keep our problems to ourselves. It was quite a show, huh?

Berea: I guess Im an outlier in that I dont find Catherine loathsome or frustrating. She loves Richard and Maggie as much as she loves Jackson. She very clearly wants Maggie back at Grey-Sloan because she is undoubtedly the best.

Her buying Pac-North is a complete boss move, and Im not mad at it.

This separation is getting messy, but I dont think shell close down the hospital. Richard is being petty and she tried to make amends, but he wanted to try and force her to apologize (which she does NOT need to do).

I find this interesting and am looking forward to seeing what will happen with Pac-North.

Big picture, I honestly sort of see it as a way for them to bring everyone back to Grey-Sloan, much like when Seattle Grace merged with Mercy West. No way were they going to keep the cast separated between the hospitals forever.

Jasmine: I hated it. If they call it quits, then so be it. I'm not that invested in them enough either way to care, but I'm confused with when they got to the point of being irreconcilable.

They've been on different pages for a bit. I hated Catherine's boss move. They have both done some messed up things in their relationship, and Richard expecting her to apologize when he was in the wrong is a whole other thing.

But buying Pac-North instead of letting him go was too petty for me. If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't hesitate to call it an abusive move.

The exertion of power, control, and financial flexing over a spouse in a relationship, regardless of the situation generally disturbs me.

Who was the MVP of the hour? What was your favorite scene and/or quote?

Meaghan: Levi is no doubt my MVP. Him meeting the love of his uncle's life and learning he and his uncle were more alike than he ever imagined was fantastic!

Paul: Levi, for sure. I was fascinated by the way Levi wanted to know more about his uncle's life, and how his lover was the one to reveal all the details.

Berea: My MVP is Maggie and all the shade that was thrown at dinner. You say actually a lot really cracked me up. I hadnt noticed, but he does!

Jasmine: Dean is my MVP. I have never related to him more than when he kept accidentally stirring up drama and sat there stuffing his face and watching all the drama and tension. It's me at every family gathering.

Saul loved men, he loved me for decades. But there was something inside of him that wouldn't let him. I would have married him. I would have built a life with him. But I couldn't allow myself to live a life with someone who hated himself for loving me.

I loved everything that involved Daniel, including him explaining how different the times were. It was something about him advising the younger generation in not just life, but life as a gay man that had a nice passing the torch sort of, "we put up with all of this so that you wouldn't have to" vibe; I found it touching.

Greys Anatomy season 16: Will Meredith and Deluca break up? – Express

The stress has been mounting at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital as of late with the ongoing trauma from the car crashing into Joes Bar and personal problems with many of the surgeons on the ABC medical drama. The pressure does also seem to be taking its toll on Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo) and boyfriend Andrew Deluca (Giacomo Gianniotti). So are the pair going to call it a day on their relationship?

At the end of season 15, fans were delighted when Meredith and Deluca had their first kiss.

After ongoing fears she would lose her license, Deluca decided to surprise Meredith with champagne on the roof.

Here, the head of general surgery confessed her love for him which officially started the pairs romance on the show.

However, things have not been going as smoothly for the couple as of late.

When the show returned for season 16 last year, Meredith was on trial, trying to win back her license after committing insurance fraud.

This put a massive strain on her relationship with Deluca as she told him she wasnt sure if they could still be together if she could no longer be a practicing surgeon as it would be too painful knowing he was doing her dream job.

She recently admitted she missed Deluca after spending some time apart but there could be a new love interest on the horizon which could see the end of their relationship.

In the season 16 midseason finale, fans were introduced to a new character in the shape of Dr. Cormac Hayes (Richard Flood) who has been nicknamed McWidow.

Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) messaged Meredith to let her know she had sent over a welcome back to work package but it wasnt an item but rather Dr Hayes who she had sent to Grey Sloan Memorial from her own hospital in Switzerland.

Cristina has also nicknamed him McWidow, hinting not only that his other half had died like Merediths husband Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) did, but that he could be the new McDreamy in her life, the playful nickname given to Derek.

Dr Hayes is set to become the new head of paediatric surgery, replacing the beloved Dr Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) after the actor announced he was leaving the show.

Already, Hayes and Meredith have been at loggerheads with one another but could this mean a potential romantic connection, especially with things not going exactly to plan with Deluca?

Their turbulent relationship is set to continue in next weeks episode entitled A Diagnosis on Thursday, February 20.

The official synopsis reads: DeLuca is irritated after Meredith takes over his patient Suzanne whose symptoms continue to stump the doctors at Grey Sloan.

Elsewhere in the hospital, Jackson, Owen and Jo work on a couple injured in a bear attack; and Levi is hurt when Nico doesnt want him to meet his parents.

So could this mean the beginning of the end for Meredith and Deluca?

Greys Anatomy continues every Thursday at 9pm on ABC.
