there's going to be an episode directed by Jesse that with be huge for Arizona, I guess it 22. So much for that rumor. I was hoping she would finish up early so i can turn off watching greys after Jessica's last episode.

Hey, how do you know that? Have any spoiler to share?

I've always wonder why Capshaw didn't use her step-dads influence for the big screen. Any chance Shondaland will bring Capshaw to Netfix? I also read some where that Arizona will likely finish up her story line by episode 18 and not appear in the last 6. This make sense if they plan to kill April off.

Carrie was a bad ass in this episode, i hope they continue to write her character as such. One thing i don't understand is why the writers continue to flip on Carrie from being a smart, intelligent agent in one episode to a babbling incoherent bipolar idiot. As i expect the bipolar will come back in later episodes to undermine her intelligence.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they knew and planned for Callie's departure and they kept the suspense to attract the viewers. However, they didn't expect the backlash for Sara's exit. This, i feel, is a marketing scheme. They blasted these departures right before the spring sweeps, adding Ellen's new deal, and they are banking that viewers will draw to the suspense on how Arizona and April will exit from the show. It's totally a disregard to the loyalty that for the next two seasons which i feel will be the last, they couldn't keep 2 long standing characters to ride out the show. True and True. i will not enjoy the MER-ry go land!

Yup. Arizona bar hopping was better than these 2 hook ups.

The show was done 2 seasons ago.

I agree. Although, I kinda liked Jo when she was fooling around with Deluca. They have chemistry, forget about Alex.. I'm a late comer, I started watching the show around season 9 or 10, the writing was interesting. Then I binged on the earlier seasons and love it! Season 12, 13 and 14 were just horrible. Although, 14 started out good but after hearing this news, I will only watch to see how it will end for Arizona and April.

this is a bad move for the show. Arizona and April attract a certain demographic in the viewership. In the past the show gambled with letting go fan favorites (Mark, Derrick, Callie) and yet viewerships maintained high. Now, the release of 2 of their leading characters is a big risk.

This departure has every thing to do with Ellen's salary and nothing to do with the creative directions of the show. Think about this... what story line can possibly excite the viewers about a mid 40 surgeon with 3 kids? Since Dericks departure, Mer has been boring, sleeping with her sisters boyfriend then sending Nathan off to be with his dead wife. I mean c'mon. Grey should just fire the writers instead of the characters that draw on viewership. They will definitely will lose viewers with this move.

I would too!

oh c'mon.. Arizona was a great character at the beginning of her tenure. i think the writers created good story lines until they decided to amp her leg. Then it was downhill from there.

OMG. Guess the writers ran out of storylines for Arizona and April.

Odd, thought Sara said she wanted a break from TV. So why would she sign on to another TV show on a different network? Shondaland cant be happy about.

I'd get rid of Owen, Amelia and Webber. I would like to see the following hook ups: Andrew and Jo, Alex and Mer and Catherine and Koracick.
