As Station 19 enters the second half of its final season, fans are holding out hope that beloved characters Ben Warren and Carina DeLuca might make their way back to Grey’s Anatomy. While nothing has been confirmed yet, Station 19 showrunner Peter Paige recently teased that discussions are ongoing, hinting that the pair’s return to the medical drama could be a possibility.
Marinis, when asked the same question, seemed to put the ball back in Station 19’s court, mentioning that she hadn’t seen the final two scripts and wasn’t sure about the intentions of Paige and fellow showrunner Zoanne Clack for Ben and Carina’s future.
The possibility of Ben’s return is especially tantalizing, as a recent preview for Station 19‘s episode “My Way” teased a dangerous situation for the first responders, with Ben caught in a fire at the Space Needle. His fate in this episode could determine whether he continues his high-risk life as a firefighter or decides to make a major career change, which could set the stage for his return to Grey’s Anatomy.
As for Carina, it seems just as plausible that she could return to the medical drama, especially given the ongoing Marina storyline and their expanding family. Additionally, actress Danielle Savre has previously guest-starred on Grey’s as Carina’s wife Maya, which may open the door for future crossovers, especially considering Savre’s off-screen connection to Grey’s star Kevin McKidd (Dr. Owen Hunt).
While the Station 19 showrunners remain tight-lipped about the specifics, Peter Paige’s recent comments suggest that discussions about Ben and Carina’s future are actively taking place. As Station 19 continues its final season, fans can look forward to more twists and turns, and perhaps even a reunion with the characters on Grey’s Anatomy in the near future.
