In an interview with Deadline following the Station 19 season 7 finale, co-showrunners Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige opened up about what would’ve happened if the series had been renewed. In the quote below, Paige and Clack mention storylines that include Carina going into the field, in addition to relationship developments for Beckett, Sullivan, and Ross. Read their full quotes below:
Paige: There were stories. Would we have loved to do a whole story where Beckett starts dating Ginny and how they get folded into the Sullivan/Ross relationship in an interesting way? Yes!
Clack: There was also a Carina arc. Remember when she grabbed her things and went out into the field? Part of the reason we were doing the lawsuit in the first place was that we really wanted to incorporate her more into the firefighting. She was maybe just a little bit trepidatious about medicine and practicing medicine and wanted to be out in the field more and do an EMS fellowship. She was going to suit up like probably episode 8 and then we were going to follow her out in the field and more integrated into the show for Season 8. But what we got was the moment of the finale, which was great, but not exactly where we were gonna take it.
Where Does Station 19 Leave Carina, Beckett, Sullivan, and Ross?
Flashforwards Paint A Happy Picture
The closing episode, titled “One Last Time”, with Clack doing the teleplay, sees the team envisioning what life could be like after their last rescue mission. Carina pictures a big happy family with her wife Maya, with at least four kids. Ross and Sullivan got married and pictured themselves playing tennis with Beckett, with Ross’ sister also present. There are other glimpses at other potential futures, with Warren also picturing a happy life with his wife Bailey.
given that all the main characters survive the finale, there’s no reason that some version of the flashforwards can’t happen.
