While another Grey’s Anatomy spin-off prepares to end its run — and the mothership series remains with no end in sight — new showrunner Meg Marinis teased that the sister series Station 19 will go out with a bang. The spin-off’s seventh and final season kicks off this week, and with only ten episodes left to go, the Grey’s and Station 19 teams decided to send the latter off with a massive crossover event.
During an interview with Deadline, Marinis revealed that she’s “constantly on the phone” with Station 19 showrunners Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige because both shows need to always be in sync. She stated that her ultimate goal is to “be able to help them any way I can succeed in telling amazing ends to their stories.” This also means that Marinis has to keep tabs on Station 19‘s lead Ben Warren (Jason George), because what happens to him directly impacts Grey’s Anatomy‘s lead Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson). So, is Ben going back to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital after Station 19 ends?
“I haven’t read their last two episodes yet. I know generally where they’re going. What I can tell you is that the Bailey and Ben relationship will continue to cross over. Those two actors love crossing over and it’s very important to them that what they do over here and what they do over there, that it’s one symbiotic thing.”
