The Character Everyone Forgets Matthew Morrison Played On Grey’s Anatomy – Looper

Dr. Paul Stadler first pops up in the 23rd episode of Season 13 of "Grey'sAnatomy," "True Colors."He's attending a Minimally Invasive Surgery Conference in California, which also boasts Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) as a participant. Alex soon realizes that Stadler is his girlfriend Dr. Jo Wilson's (Camilla Luddington) abusive ex-husband, and he fantasizes about beating him up the way Paul beat up Jo. While Alex spends the whole episode tailing Paul, they never come to blows. Instead, Alex rejects Paul's offer to split a cab to the airport, a gesture of kindness and goodwill he would later regret.

Stadler heads to the airport anddoesn't resurface until the 8th episode of Season 14, "Out of Nowhere."ForJo,the then-new chief resident atGrey Sloan Memorial Hospital, the episode's title proves to be prophetic. Stadler shows up unexpectedly in the middle of a hacking crisis at the hospital and does so at the tail end of the episode, wrecking Jo's emotional equilibrium.

In Episode 9 of Season 14, "1-800-799-7233," which is also the number of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, the audience learns he'd figured out Jo's pseudonym and tracked her down because he wants her to sign a divorce agreement so he can marry his new fiance Jenny (Joy Lenz). After the papers are inked, Jo reaches out to Jenny, concerned Paul might be abusing her as well. Jenny denies that there's anything wrong with their relationship. But Jo knows Paul too well. She slips Jenny a piece of paper bearing the titular number, and Paul later confronts Jo over the gesture, informing her that Jenny told him about the note and that he's withholding it from his fiance, strongly hinting that time hasn't changed him at all.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 Episode 2 Review: Some Kind of Tomorrow – TV Fanatic

It's feeling like old Grey's again, and that couldn't be more welcome.

So much of Grey's Anatomy Season 18 Episode 2felt like the early days of the series and made for an enjoyable hour.

We got intriguing cases, the teases for new romances, competitive residents playing Webber's version of the Olympics, and the series covering important topics without doing so in a heavy-handed manner.

Bailey and Webber's portion of the hour felt the most meta as Bailey made commentary about how many of the medical staff are experiencing burnout. The residents aren't the only ones in need of a boost in morale.

Bailey is losing doctors left and right as many are retiring, quitting, or doing other things. It's one of many reasons that she's worried about Mer taking a job in Minnesota.

Bailey losing Wong to early retirement was a stark reminder of how short-staffed they have been since the pandemic.

But she brought up wanting to do retreats and other communal types of events as they used to do, hell, maybe the baseball games or something of that effect.

She wants to build up the remaining doctors there and make them feel like a family again. Bailey mentioned joy and finding it in what they do.

Everyone needed the reminder of why they're doctors in the first place. Webber's interest is reignited now that he's taking over the teaching in Meredith's absence.

When is the last time we've seen Webber this excited?! It's been ages. He feels like he's found his purpose again, and he's right back in his element.

The residents performing the surgical Olympics was fun and hilarious. It was a reminder of how little time we've spent with the majority of the residents outside of Levi.

It was hard to remember most of their names, but we did learn from Ortiz that Mama Ortiz is with Jackson, and she's happy to have space from her mom to carve a path of her own.

Perez continues to be comedic gold every single time he's onscreen. And it speaks volumes about how behind the residents probably are if Helm and Levi are still duking it out with the newbies over a solo surgery.

Perez: I thought Dr. Grey was teaching the residency program now? Webber: Who do you think taught Dr. Grey?

Despite Helm coming across as the competitive Cristina of the bunch, Levi won out, and his reaction to that was hilarious.

And when he stressed out during this solo surgery (which, didn't he already perform one of those before?), the other residents were there to cheer him on and talking him through it.

Are these residents meant to give us the M.A.G.I.C. goodness? Not necessarily, but at least we're getting to know them, and we have that element of the show back in swing a bit.

All the other attendings rotating their time judging each event and being amused at the residents made you think of the good old days. Those scenes were the most fun of the hour.

From the casual snacking and laid-back demeanors to the uber-competitive spirits, you smiled while watching them.

And Webber had the meta moment too when he proudly proclaimed that they were back. It applies to the series as a whole.

We had some of those bizarre cases that get you talking, too. The shots of the vaginal exam were effective, as a girl was crossing her legs by the time Jo PULLED A STRAWBERRY OUT OF ROBIN'S HOO-HA.

Webber's reaction to that was priceless, but Jo's wasn't any less hysterical. So, there are so many questions about whatever the hell Robin thought she was doing.

Who would put a strawberry in their vagina? And how exactly did she swallow the yoni egg?

Jo is living her best life with her cute blond hairdo and pink scrubs, despite cases like that. And can we give Link a round of applause for that vagina/pink/scrubs exchange?

She and Link are such great friends, and it feels good to see casual friendship like that again. They have their whole little system of taking care of the kids while Link laments his situation with Amelia.

We even have the Hunt siblings going rogue and kicking ass while practicing medicine and helping patients. The Owen, Megan, Teddy sibling vibes are strong and fun.

The Hunt siblings are already pretty amusing when they share the screen, so the two of them working together is brimming with potential.

Teddy and Owen are blissful these days, and it's better than all of their relationship angst. Owen is even really good in dad mode.

Leo loves wearing dresses and channeling Elsa, and they're all about Leo's free self-expression. Owen is surprisingly great with all of it, and Teddy's fears about how society would react to Leo got the better of her before Owen came through with the best advice.

You can understand Teddy's fears as a mother. She's all too familiar with a world that isn't kind, but she also can't project that onto Leo before he has to learn all of that. Right now, he enjoys his dresses, and nothing anyone says or does to him changes that.

Let him live in that blissful confidence that comes with youth for as long as he can.

Meanwhile, they're teasing some vibes between Megan and Hayes, yes? Will this be the second time Mer and Megan will share a love interest? Oh, so Grey's!

Teddy and Owen working on a case with another veteran was welcome, even if Owen couldn't let things go with Young. One could appreciate Hayes leveling with Owen as a husband and father who watched his wife struggle with a terminal illness and remembers what that was like for her and the kids.

Hayes and Owen are a duo that never interacts much.

Jo: Robin, there's a strawberry lodged in your...Robin: OH, that tracks!

And to balance out the kookiness of Jo's case and the sadness of Teddy and Owen's, we got the informative one with Winston and Ortiz.

The hour managed to touch on one of many racist practices still in healthcare, and that's the racial disparity in eGFR, which is considered the best way of measuring kidney function.

Because of the inequity in calculations, factoring race results in millions of people of color, Black folks, in particular, dying of kidney disease because they aren't eligible for transplants based on their estimated rate during the test.

You could guess that it was an element the series would address when Rashida was thrilled to share with her followers that she had a Black doctor.

Kraus: This is not protocol. Winston: It's not. It's a life. Rashida's.

Her excitement was because of exactly what took place. Without Winston advocating for her so much, going toe to toe with Kraus about this testing, and how ridiculous it was that they denied her a spot on the transplant list, Rashida would've died.

It's the first time that Winston got a case that took up so much of the hour where he stood out on his own and officially felt like part of the cast beyond Maggie's love interest.

And he and Ortiz worked well together.

It was a great case, and the series managed to introduce the topic, make it informative, and get viewers invested without getting too preachy as they had been doing.

It was perfect, and Maggie's absence ensured that Winston got to stand out on his own.

Back in Minnesota, the chemistry between Mer and Nick continues to smolder in all the best ways.

Nick is smitten with Mer, and it oozes through in their every interaction. They're fun and flirty, but he also manages to get through to Mer in ways that she needs, and they're taking their time showing how well these two work with one another.

Mer was giving Hamilton's offer more thought than you'd imagine. It was more surprising that she expressed doubts and hesitancy about this revolutionary medicine she could participate in there.

Amelia was trying her hardest to convince Mer to take the offer. She was all-in, no questions asked, and it'll be great for Amelia.

At least Amelia makes sense for this project. It's still a bit ridiculous that Hamilton wants Mer for this when she's a General Surgeon, not neuro or anything else.

Amelia's giddiness over everything was adorable. She geeked out the second she waltzed into the lab, and she didn't even have to think about jumping on board.

She also got noticeably giddy when she met Dr. Bartley.

Mer: I'm scared to say yes, and I am very rarely scared. Nick: What are you scared of? Mer: Failure. This project will cost millions of dollars, will be risky, win or lose will be written about, and I'm not sure it's the first thing I want to do after surviving COVID.

Let the record show that I am still beyond pissed off about how this series chose to destroy Amelia and Link's stable, healthy relationship out of the blue for the sake of drama. It's the most contrived storyline we have right now, and it's irritating on so many levels.

The idea that they're even teasing a new relationship is offensive. However, Amelia behaved like a giggly schoolgirl when she saw them, and in her defense, they're attractive.

It's Amelink all day for this reviewer, but until they get their crap together, if the show chooses to explore Amelia and Bartley, well, begrudgingly, it's intriguing.

It felt as if Amelia and Hamilton gave their best efforts convincing Mer to take on the project, but in the end, Nick's proper assessment of her seemed to be the tipping point in favor of agreeing.

Despite what Mer was saying, a research job is more stable than anything else. She can't let her COVID experience keep her from seizing the best opportunities. It's more of a reason why she should.

Mer negotiated her terms, and it means that we'll have her at Grey Sloan with the rest of her family and friends. We'll get that wonderful escapism with this groundbreaking project where she gets to work alongside Amelia, and she can have sexytimes with Nick.

It's the best of both worlds!

Over to you, Grey's Fanatics.

Did this hour give you the old Grey's vibe? Are you happy Mer said yes? Sound off below!

Football Focus: Anatomy of hosting a night game with portable lights – The Salem News

This is the story of a Friday night football game, and how it all came together.

But there is so, so much more to it than that. This is the story of how it came to be.

Something like this has never happened on our school campus before, and we really wanted to make it a reality, said Beverly High athletic director Dan Keefe. Everything had to go exactly right for us to pull this off ... and despite a few obstacles, weve been able to do so.

The genesis of the idea came about towards the end of the summer, when Keefe and Beverly High principal Betty Taylor were kicking around some ideas. Why not, they agreed, try to do something special this fall after what had been an unbelievably trying 2020-21 school year because of the COVID-19 pandemic?

Initially, the thought was to do something at Hurd Stadium and make an event out of one of the football games. A day or two later, the two administrators took it a step further: what could they do that would involve more teams at the high school, not just football?

Jordan Irvine (23) and the Beverly Panthers got the better of Danvers Colin Kelter (12) Aris Xerras (81) and the Falcons at home this past spring; now they want to do so again, this time playing under temporary lights at Forti Field Friday night.

Thus the plan was conceived: a two-day event at the high school campus itself which the boys and girls soccer varsity soccer teams, the varsity field hockey team and the football team would all be part of. All four teams would play on the newly-installed turf at Forti Field with temporary lights in place. Boys soccer (4:30 p.m.) and girls soccer (7 p.m.) would play on Thursday, Oct. 7; field hockey (4:30 p.m.) and football (7:15 p.m.) would do so the following night.

Beverly has played a handful of night football games in the past at Hurd Stadium, their traditional home field. But the chain link fence that surrounds the venerable and beloved field wouldnt work for soccer or field hockey games, not to mention the fact that the field is wider in both of those sports than it is for football. So the decision was made to hold all four games right on the high school turf.

Having two soccer games on Thursday, then a field hockey game leading into a Friday night football game, all right on campus ... we felt like we really had something, said Keefe.

The AD got to work contacting the athletic directors of the schools that the Panthers would be playing on those two proposed dates. Swampscott AD Kelly Farley agreed her varsity soccer teams play at Beverly on the same day. The Panther girls are using this opportunity to hold their Senior Night, making a special occasion that much more memorable. (The two schools will play each other again on Monday in Swampscott, with the boys playing under the lights in that one).

Mike Bierwirth, the Lynnfield AD, gave the thumbs up for his Pioneers field hockey team to play the Panthers Friday in their own Senior Night game at 4:30 p.m. Danvers High athletic director Andy St. Pierre did the same for Fridays football game.

No AD likes to lose a home game; thats a big ask, admitted Keefe. The fact that everyone was willing to accommodate us for this event was very gracious.

Owen Gasinowksi is a dual threat for Danvers, leading the Blue-and-White in receptions and receiving yards while also ranking second on the club in rushing.

JAIME CAMPOS/Staff file photo

Keefe reached out to food trucks who could sell their goods on the two nights, and two Beverly companies stepped up: Joes On A Roll (owned and operated Nicki Birarelli) and Butter UR Biscuit. Beverly Bootstraps said theyd do a food drive both evenings, asking for non-perishable items such as peanut butter, box pasta, macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables, diapers/Pull-Ups (sizes 2-6), tuna fish, cooking oils and sprays, canned tuna and soup that can help fill pantry shelves.

The BHS Band will also be selling food items. Another group at the high school, the Birthday Wishes Club, will sell glow sticks and glow necklaces in order to create Birthday Boxes for homeless children.

A Toys For Tots fundraiser raffle was set up through Beverlys Henry Witham. Keefe got Todd Angilly, who sings the National Anthem at Boston Bruins home games, to come in to sing it before the football game Friday, and the BHS band will play their traditional halftime show. Keefe even set up a vaccine clinic for Friday night.

It was setting up to be a complete community event for and put on by the people of The Garden City.

The biggest challenge was finding someone who could rent them lights. Keefe spent a few days burning up the phones before getting confirmation from a company on the South Shore. The school signed an agreement with the company, and everything was hunky dory.

Until it wasnt.

Early last week, Keefe got a call from the company saying there had been a mistake, and they wouldnt be able to honor their commitment.

Panic set in.

At that point, we realistically didnt know if wed be able to pull it off, admitted Keefe. We gave ourselves until Wednesday at noon and if we didnt have a solution then, wed have to cancel the whole thing.

Fortunately, help came to the rescue. Scott Connolly, Salem Highs athletic director, told Keefe he had three light towers that he could borrow. St. Pierre said they had two that could also be used. Taylor then reached out to Mike Collins, the Commissioner of Public Services and Engineering in Beverly, and he was able to obtain an additional eight light towers from a contractor he knew at 10 a.m. that Wednesday.

Ten light towers will be lined up around the field while the other three will be placed around the campus to light the way to and from the field. Theres ample space for parking and for fans to watch the games, too, either on the sloping grass that overlooks the complex (similar to the hill many fans sit at when theyre at Hurd); outside the fence surrounding Forti Field, or even up along Herrick Street, where fans will get a complete view of the entire field.

Keefe acknowledged that one of the biggest supporters of this event was Superintendent of Schools Suzanne Charochak, who told him she couldve foot the bill for the lights from the South Shore company had they not backed out.

All the feedback weve received from the kids, the coaches, people in the city ... its been pretty good, said Keefe, who thanked the Beverly High custodial staff for being a big part of making this dream a reality. It was touch and go for a while ... but now were finally making it happen, and thats a good thing for all the kids involved.

The anatomy of a breakup: Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ // The – Observer Online

On May 21, Olivia Rodrigo, formerly known as the drivers license girl, released her long awaited debut album, Sour. On it, she is moody, self-centered and petty with no filters. In a culture in which were all projecting more mature and put-together versions of ourselves she wanted it to be like, messy. Sour is the beautifully imperfect portrait of an insecure teenage girl who went through the worst thing imaginable: a breakup.

The album opener, brutal, was an unexpected punch to the gut. The beginning of Sour sees her screaming accusations at life with self-deprecating lyrics detailing just how much of a lie the golden teenage years are. With pop punk instrumentation and a vocal performance Alex Turner would be proud of, we stand at the peak of her angst. This is the starting point of Sour

Listening to track 2, traitor, hurts. She is at her most vulnerable, betrayed and left alone to deal with the shipwreck of her breakup. Dont you dare forget about the way you betrayed me, she sings. By the time drivers license comes around, she has exhausted the indignation and is left deeply sad, haunted by red lights and stop signs that remind her of her lover. This song launched Rodrigo into what is possibly the fastest rise to superstardom the world has ever seen, spending eight weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and leading to not one, but two SNL features. Her polished vocal performance, the sharp imagery and the legendary bridge birthed one of the best heartbreak ballads to hit the charts in years.

1 step forward, 3 steps back sees Rodrigo relay a stream of consciousness as she melancholically recounts her self-destructive relationship with both her lover and herself. With unembellished vocals and no energy for pretense, she is all cried out at this point. And yet, as we all know, the journey to healing is not a straight line.

Track 6, deja vu, sees Rodrigo revert to petty obsession, as she picks apart her lovers new relationship, proclaiming its a cheap copy of what she had with him. She snarkily profiles his girlfriend choice, another actress / I hate to think that I was just your type, and mocks the girl too, she thinks its special / but its all reused. Sensibly enough, the next track, the snarky chart-topper good 4 u, sees her at her most bitter.

On this track, she becomes unhinged. Screw that, screw you / You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do probably takes the prize of most immature moment on the album, but its that same immaturity that makes this song so endearing and relatable. At this point, skeptics have to concede that there is no facade to Olivia Rodrigo, because this song makes her sound like a self-involved brat.

After wrapping up the pity party, she shrinks to the size of an ant on enough for you. The acoustic instrumentals reflect how little she thinks of herself, as she confesses she wouldve done anything to get her lover to stay. The next song, happier, is a sign that Rodrigo is starting to move on, as she bitterly accepts the breakup, singing I hope youre happy, but not like how you were with me. She fights with the bitterness, though. She realizes shes being petty by picking the new girl and the new relationship apart, but as the human being that she is, she keeps doing it anyway. On jealousy, jealousy, Rodrigo borrows the psychologist glasses from her dad and matter-of-factly recounts her woes, struggling between Instagram envy and self-love, between being petty and generous, featuring lines like Im happy for them, but then again Im not.

Then finally, FINALLY, she moves on. On favorite crime, she retells the story of her broken relationship with sadness. This song sees Rodrigo personify Taylor Swift on folklore, as she describes herself as a willing accomplice in her lovers crimes, with the closing line, Well, I hope I was your favorite crime. Theres a magic in the songs simplicity that almost makes it feel like a grandiose epic; with the haunting final harmonies, she exorcizes the pain out of her story, and turns the page. This is where Sourshouldve ended but it didnt.

For the last track, hope ur ok, it is evident where she was trying to go: This was the full-circle moment, when she finally broke free of her post-breakup tunnel vision and spread her wings in kindness and gratitude again. However, based on the albums subject matter, it seems unnecessary, and it will rest besides Dua Lipas Boys Will Be Boys as part of the underwhelming final album tracks that tried to be deep but felt inauthentic.

Except for this final track, Rodrigos effort feels cohesive, honest and meaningful. Sour is a solid album that deserves every last bit of the praise and attention it is getting. Watch out for this one; we just got a Sour taste of the next main pop girl.

Album: Sour by Olivia Rodrigo

Label: Geffen Records

Favorite Song: brutal

Sandra Oh Recalls Traumatic Experience of Starring on Greys Anatomy: I Have a Good Therapist – Us Weekly

Dancing it out wasnt enough to solve it. Sandra Oh reflected on the repercussions of achieving a new level of fame when she began starring on Greys Anatomy.

To be perfectly honest, it was traumatic. It was traumatic, the Chair actress, 50, explained in a sneak peek from her Sunday Today With Willie Geist interview, which airs Sunday, August 29. And the reason why Im saying that is the circumstances you need to do your work is with a lot of privacy. So when one loses ones anonymity, you have to build skills to still try and be real. I went from not being able to go out, like, hiding in restaurants, to then being able to manage attention, manage expectation, while not losing the sense of self.

Oh credited her focus on mental health with helping her navigate the ordeal. Well, I have a good therapist, she noted. Im not joking. Its very, very important.

The Killing Eve star also learned how to set proper boundaries in her professional life. You just have to work at finding your way to stay grounded, she said. And a lot of times thats by saying no.

Oh played Cristina Yang on Greys Anatomy from 2005 to 2014. She left after 10 seasons on the ABC drama, and unlike some of her former costars who have also departed through the years, she has no plans to return.

No, she insisted about a potential reprisal of her role during a May episode of the Los Angeles Times Asian Enough podcast. I love it, though, and this is also why I really appreciate the show that I still get asked this.

Oh then elaborated on why she does not want to venture back to her past. Its very rare, I would say, to be able to see in such a way the impact of a character, she acknowledged. In some ways, you do your work as a bubble and you let it go. I left that show, my God, seven years ago almost. So in my mind, its gone. But for a lot of people, its still very much alive. And while I understand and I love it, I have moved on.

The American Crime alum ultimately encouraged her fans to evolve with her. So please come with me to Killing Eve and on to The Chair and on to the other projects, she said. Come see the characters that Im playing that are much more deeply integrated in the Asian American experience.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: If George Had Survived, Here’s Where He Might Have Ended Up – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Greys Anatomy is one of the most beloved medical dramas on the air, a show that has earned significant critical acclaim. Over the years, the core cast of Greys Anatomy has changed a great deal, with many characters being written off the show or killed off in new and interesting ways.

One of the shows original characters, a mainstay in the first few seasons of Greys Anatomy, was Dr. George OMalley. While fans loved George, he was killed off in the sixth season still, that hasnt stopped longtime viewers of Greys Anatomy from wondering what would have happened to George if he had lived.

George OMalley was first introduced to Greys Anatomy viewers in 2005 as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Along with other early-season interns, George worked his way up the ranks, eventually becoming a resident. As played by actor T.R. Knight, George quickly became a mainstay, one of the shows most beloved characters.

Knight received overwhelmingly positive reviews thanks to his work as George, even getting a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards. Georges storyline was as inspiring as Knights, and the character went on to become an expert in trauma surgery. Unfortunately, his story came to an end in 2009, after a horrendous bus accident renders him brain-dead.

Fans have never forgotten George, and in a recent Reddit thread, diehard viewers speculated about what the character would be doing now, if he had lived. Discussing what specialty George would have chosen, one fan wrote trauma for sure! But if they chose to develop a different storyline for him leading up to the exit, general or peds couldve been interesting 🙂

Another fan wrote definitely Trauma. He was great under pressure at work, he wouldve been a good trauma surgeon. But if not trauma then peds would be good because hes good with kids. Many other Reddit posters agreed that George would have thrived as a trauma surgeon with one noting that George had, in many ways, already chosen his specialty before he died: He very specifically signed up for the army to be trained as a trauma surgeon. Thats choosing a specialty.

In 2020, fans were treated to a heartbreaking moment when Meredith speaks to George via her subconscious mind. In the dream, George confirms that he wasnt ready to die, in a scene that ripped fans hearts in two. George talking about how he would have chosen to live just smashed my heart into a thousand pieces, one fan wrote.

While George is no longer around on Greys Anatomy, T.R. Knight continued acting after he left the show in 2009. After rising to fame early on, Knight decided to focus his attention on television and stage. He has also worked as an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. A few of the TV shows that he appeared in after leaving Greys included The Good Wife, The Catch, When We Rise, Will & Grace, and, most recently, The Flight Attendant. For his work in The Flight Attendant, Knight earned accolades from critics, proving that in the years since he left the set of Greys Anatomy, he hasnt lost any of his skill at developing fascinating characters. Stay tuned to Showbiz Cheat Sheet for all the latest entertainment news!

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Is Dr. Webber Actually Immortal? Somehow, He Still Lives – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Over 17 seasons (soon to be 18), many people have come and gone from Greys Anatomy. Some of our favorite characters have left without warning. But others who have faced death are still holding on. For instance, for all that Dr. Webber has been through, he still manages to live. Which some people feel must make him immortal.

Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) was a part of the original cast of Greys Anatomy. On day one, he gave the speech that he gives to all new interns. A month ago, you were in med school being trained by doctors. Today, you are doctors, he told them.

He is a major player, part of virtually every episode. And hes someone audiences can count on to always be there. Part of his solidity is the fact that no matter what may come his way, he is invincible. Surviving alcoholism, sleeping in his office because his wife Adele (Loretta Devine) kicks him out, watching her develop Alzheimers and subsequently die, and much more. There is always a story being played out with him in the center of it all.

However, it is the fact Dr. Webber has more lives than a cat that baffles some of the Greys Anatomy fandom.

Dr. Webber was the hospitals chief when the show began. His pending retirement was mentioned as early as season 1, episode 2, though it really became a storyline in season 2. However, it remains a topic of discussion, like at his 65th birthday in season 10, when Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) gives him a brochure on retirement.

As pointed out by a Reddit user recently, since the start of Greys Anatomy, Webber has battled a brain tumor in season 1, an electric shock in season 9, and even cobalt poisoning in season 16. During the cobalt poisoning, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) also finds Webber about to cut himself with a scalpel because he is the only one who can fix what is wrong with him.

Among those near-death experiences, he was threatened by a gunman in season 6, episode 24. The lead-in was that the shooter wanted revenge against those who took his wife off life support. Webber convinced Clark to kill himself instead with the one remaining bullet.

In season 11, episode 20, Webber is driving to work and is close enough to see a plane crash as it goes basically over his car. Although it isnt a near-death for him, he retells the story throughout the episode, with each telling slightly more dangerous for himself.

Every show deserves to have a teddy bear-type character that everyone can turn to. For the staff at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, that teddy bear is, has, and always will be Dr. Webber. Therefore, whether you love him or not, the one thing we can always count on is that he will simply be invincible and immortal.

In fact, most fans would be very upset if they were to tune in and one day find that he was leaving the show. We laugh with him, we cry with him, and we will always want more of him. He is just as significant as the two other always there characters: Meredith, who is the designated star of the show, and Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) who we love for her spunk. Webber has simply been through too much for us to stand for him being gone from the show.
