With the Station 19 crossover premiering on March 1, they are still three weeks away from the premiere. The twitter account has only gotten 2,000 followers in the last 3 weeks, bringing it to a total of 8,815 twitter followers. On February 23 it was retweeting all the stars of the show posting about how there is only one month left to the premiere. Besides their minimal social media presence, there has been nothing on the talk show circuits. Using the hashtag #TGITCrossover, there has only been conversation about the How To Get Away with Murder and Scandal episode, nothing with Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19. Hopefully after this crossover episode airs, Station 19 will start publicizing the premiere of their show more and start doing interviews.

Station 19 # 4
As we are about a week away from the crossover premiere featuring Station 19, more buzz is starting to be generated, primarily through Grey’s Anatomy fans. With the premiere still a month away, this crossover event will be the primary way that viewers will get excited about the release. All of the actors have been announced; Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Jay Hayden, Danielle Savre, Okierete Onaodowan, and Alberto Frezza. All these characters have different characteristics and positions within the firehouse, mirroring Grey’s Anatomy’s layout. The main drama will be that the Captain is unable to return to work at the fire station, so Andy (Ortiz) must prove she is ready to take on the responsibility of her father’s position. Just from that scenario alone, seeing a woman being a firefighter captain will be a change of pace from the usual stereotypical gender roles. However, as with all of Shonda’s shows, there will be an intense love triangle with Andy and two male characters. As for another crossover, For The People might eventually do one, even though it is stationed in New York City and Station 19 in Seattle. But there will be continuous crossovers between Grey’s and Station 19 as victims need to be taken to the hospital or a catastrophic event occurs in Seattle.

Station 19 #3
#Station19 has had more traction this week as they have begun shooting and posting pictures. Wendy Calhoun, a producer for Station 19, tweeted a picture of the real life firefighter tech and stunt crew, showing their incorporation of real life heroes into the show. Even though the post did not receive a lot of attention, I think this is an important factor of the show that will most likely be brought up in interviews and press tours. In regards to the buzz around the show, ABC has announced that Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 will be having a crossover episode on March 1st, titled “You Really Got a Hold On Me.”. This will be a great introduction to the Station 19 actors and will be airing before the Scandal and How To Get Away with Murder crossover episode. It will be a full night for #TGITCrossover and will garner a lot of social media attention.
