  1. Agree that the show has been signposting the manner of Arizona’s departure for several episodes now. Pleased though that this episode not only showed her role as a mother but also as an exceptional highly skilled surgeon. I always love the scenes with Arizona in the OR doing her stuff and nobody does the expressive eyes between scrub cap and mask better than JC. And so the scene is set for the return of the great Geena Davies as Nicole Herman next week. I hope that this indicates that for once the writers have come up with a potentially satisfying conclusion to a previous story arc, several excellent episodes in series 11 (IMO one of the best story arcs Arizona has had and brilliantly played by both JC and GD) and Arizona’s story arc in this series. I wouldn’t be a fan of an Arizona/Callie reunion-too much baggage and frankly Arizona deserves better.
  2. Hmmm, methinks you are right there. Lady McDreamy, her weird sisters and their associated friends/lovers seem set to be the focus of the show. I also wonder if there will be a return to some of the more shock/horror/sex merry go round story lines as opposed to the more nuanced ones so we’ll get a defibrillated version of the hackneyed Mills and Boon hospital romances only pumped up with hormones and liberally drenched in gore, nothing wrong with that in small doses but I personally prefer the subtler character driven episode and amongst Lady McDreamy’s retinue 3 dimensional nuanced characters are pretty thin on the ground. Sad but true. ????
  3. Been binge-watching GA as have only just discovered the show on Prime video and I’d have rationed my watching if I’d known two of my favourite characters were going to be axed. As others have commented it seems as if the writers are just not interested in developing them any further which is a shame as they are two of the most rounded characters in the show and the ones who in my opinion have matured and grown the most. For a show that flaunts it’s inclusivity credentials it does seem odd that Arizona (lesbian in predominantly straight world, disabled person in a predominantly able bodied world) and April (woman with a strong faith in a predominantly secular world) are thought expendable when some other very 2 dimensional characters are retained. Much respect to Sarah Drew and Jessica Capshaw and thanks to them both for telling April’s and Arizona’s stories. We all need the magic of stories to lighten our lives and inspire us so may these two excellent actresses have many more chances to tell equally important stories in the future. ???
