Station 19 # 4

Posted on by

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.

Grey’s Anatomy Spinoff: Station 19 will be a ten-episode drama which follows a team of firefighters as they complete a twenty-four-hour shift. It will be set in a Seattle firehouse and follow everybody from the captain to the newest recruit as the show revolves around these brave men and women risking their lives and their hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock. Also, Station 19 is just a few blocks from Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, which will still allow for romances between the two shows. Shondaland’s idea for expansion of the Grey’s franchise is quite like that of Dick Wolf’s Chicago dramas at NBC which follow firefighters, paramedics, cops, doctors and Das all in the same city, allowing for easy crossovers. As Grey’s Anatomy completes its thirteenth season and remains ABC’s highest rated series, it has had a successful spinoff with Private Practice which lasted for six seasons, giving this new spinoff high hopes for a successful run. Stacy McKee, who has worked on Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder will write and executive produce the series alongside Shonda Rhimes. Station 19 will be targeted towards Grey’s Anatomy and Shondaland fans, which is a pretty big and diverse fan base with her shows continuously being the highest rated ABC shows. The new spinoff will be included in the Shonda Thursdays following Grey’s Anatomy in the slow that was previously occupied by Scandal.
