Both Grey’s Anatomy characters – Link and “McDreamy” – have added richness and spice to the series. Derek’s the man who made Meredith Grey’s heart pound, and Derek’s death in Grey’s Anatomy changed her forever. The sadly departed Dr. McDreamy was Grey Sloan Memorial’s Mr. Darcy – a dreamboat straight out of Pride and Prejudice.
Camilla Luddington’s Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Update Shifts The Focus To Jo In Light Of Link’s Cliffhanger
The Jo Actress Acknowledges Things Look Dire
Since the terrible explosion at the healthcare facility leaves Link’s fate hanging in the balance, and Jo is the mother of his twin babies, everything’s on the line. On Instagram, Jo actress Camilla Luddington referenced Link’s condition in Grey’s Anatomy as she poses with pals and jokes around about season 21’s shocking cliffhanger.
Everything’s gonna be fine tho right guys?!!! RIGHT asking for a *friend
*Jo Wilson
Will everything be okay? Most fans are probably fervently hoping that Link survives. He’s an orthopedic surgeon who’s so devoted to Jo – in fact, he’s lit up her life. To see that kind of beautiful love extinguished in a split second would be so awful.
With Grey’s Anatomy, it’s possible for viewers to lose themselves in the ups and downs of remarkably attractive hospital staff and their patients. Offscreen, Camilla clearly likes to blow off steam.
Link’s Possible Death Is Objectively More Tragic Than Derek Dying
Their Journey Together Is Just Beginning
McDreamy’s death was awful, but at least he and Meredith had time together. They built a family and had a long and fulfilling romance. It took Meredith and Derek a long time to get on the same page, and they finally had their happily ever after. Then, Derek’s helping spirit led him to intervene at the scene of a car accident. It’s a doctor’s nature to step in and do all they can to sustain life – Derek died because of his ideals. He died a hero.
With Jo, her journey with Link is really just beginning. It’s not a whole love story – it’s like a fairytale that’s just a few chapters long, and still unfolding. If Link does die, that fairy tale will turn into a nightmare. Jo will have the twin babies to comfort her, but her heart will be broken. Her husband will be dead. She loves him! That kind of loss is so hard to recover from. It’s like a knife in the heart.
Thus, Meredith had more memories. Her relationship with Derek was like a tapestry embroidered with silken threads of different colors and textures, creating a romance that was a true masterpiece. There was the passionate and spontaneous one-night stand that started it all, and then there was Meredith’s rival Addison Montgomery, Derek’s ex, who tried to stir up trouble.
But it culminated int Meredith’s marriage to McDreamy and the birth of their adorable children: daughters Zola and Ellis, and their son, Bailey. With Link and Jo, the tapestry is still missing so many threads – so many wonderful moments to come – and the darker challenges all couples must overcome. This is why, objectively, if Link dies next season, it could be the greatest Grey’s Anatomy tragedy ever.
