Joana November 16, 2018 Share November 16, 2018 I was pretty sure Betty would somehow be out of the picture by the time Teddy broke the news of her and Owen's baby. But now that not only she's staying but Amelia is apparently willing to adopt her, I'm inclined to think that Owen and Teddy are the endgame, Owen gets his own child, Betty recovers with Amelia's help and keeps her son and... Amelia becomes a grandmother? LOL. 1 Link to comment

There is a history of reasons why they should be endgame, and if tptb aren't going to honor that then why is she even here? 2 Link to comment

According to Krista, it's the season of love. Teddy is here to put a wrench into Owen's life and cause angst as the three of them sort it all out. 5 Link to comment
LexieLily November 16, 2018 Share November 16, 2018 How is Betty even able to be fostered by Amelia? She does have parents. They washed their hands of her when she got into drugs and got pregnant, but I presume they still technically have their rights. 1 Link to comment

That may be what Amelia meant: that Betty will ask to enter the system under her own right -- as an abandoned minor, not only as the mother of Leo -- and Amelia will apply to be named her foster mother. But the finish line of that story could be the reconciliation of Betty with her parents, and their decision to raise Leo together. Or, for Betty to assign Leo for adoption by...Amelia? Amelia and Owen? Owen and Teddy? The story that would need to be told well is Owen's ethical and legal relationship to his foster son vs. his future daughter or son. In the first, he volunteered to be part of a process whose aim is not only to provide for the welfare of the children, but where possible, to support the existing relationship between parent(s) and child. In the second, he is responsible. What needs articulating is how this distinction is not only biological: that Owen isn't simply abandoning an unrelated child for his kin. 1 Link to comment

The more likely scenario is that he gets injured and ends up returning to surgery. As written it feels more like Bailey needs her OCD meds adjusted because she's fixating on Ben's safety. 4 Link to comment

The renewals have nothing to do with buzz or other shows that are similar. S19 delivered a 1.2 for the fall finale and 1.3 earlier in the season, both higher than any season 1 episodes - very few shows have any growth at all.

BaseOps February 6, 2019 Share February 6, 2019 Jo is seemingly also getting a character-centric episode. From TVLine: Amelia will not be the only Grey’s Anatomy vet getting the standalone episode treatment this season. Camilla Luddington tells TVLine exclusively that her newly-wedded alter ego, Jo, will take center stage in a spring outing penned by co-exec producer Elisabeth R. Finch and directed by co-star/EP Debbie Allen. “It was the hardest episode I ever shot,” Luddington declares. “It’s unbelievable. It’s so powerful.” The actress previously told TVLine that the ABC drama’s current (and recently expanded) 15th season would delve deeper into her character’s mysterious backstory via her never-before-seen biological parents, whose introduction fans have long been anticipating. Luddington declined to say whether the Jo-centric episode in question will mark mom and/or dad’s arrival, revealing only that the installment features “a lot” of Kim Raver’s Teddy and is rooted in themes both “medical and personal.” Link to comment
maasa February 9, 2019 Share February 9, 2019 I was pretty excited that Jo was getting an episode until I read Teddy will be all over it. I wish it was Alex. We're going to meet the last Shepherd sister. In reading the comments someone speculated that Kate could be the Kate Jackson mentioned from the support group. Kate lost a brother. I'm assuming she will be part of Amelia's upcoming big episode. https://tvline.com/2019/02/07/greys-anatomy-kathleen-shepherd-season-15-cast-dereks-sister/ 2 Link to comment

I agree, the only reason Scandal ended was because everyone was ready for the show to be over including Shonda and the ratings had dropped a bit. Other wise they would have tried to keep that show going. I don't see Station 19 being over any time soon even if they try to carry Miranda and Ben's plots between the two and the show doesn't return for another month. Then again, ABC is renewing shows that just HORRIBLE or they are running out of ideas in their first seasons like: A Million Little Things, Fresh off the Boat or Single Parents. 1 Link to comment

anna0852 February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Total speculation: what if the final Shepard sister turns out to be Jo's fire station mom? Like she never told anyone she had a baby, just dropped Jo and ran. Total soap plot but isn't that what GA is anyway? 🙂 1 Link to comment

BaseOps February 26, 2019 Share February 26, 2019 Alex's mom is around for at least three episodes, so I'm starting to be worried that she'll be hospitalized this week. I hope not, but I guess it could give some interesting material to Alex. Carina also appears in at least two, 15x16 and 15x17. 1 Link to comment
BaseOps February 26, 2019 Share February 26, 2019 Also, we can nip a persistent rumour in the bud before it even pops up again: Ellen told USA Today that she and Shonda have discussed when the show will end, and they've both stated they want "all of the remaining originals" to be there until the end. So, no, we won't be seeing Bailey or Richard or Alex leave this year or next. It sounds like basically if any of them wants out, the show will wrap up. I have a feeling S16 will be the end.

ChicksDigScars March 6, 2019 Share March 6, 2019 So, if we go by the actual ages of the actors playing them, the Shepard sibs go: Nancy (53), Derek (53), Liz (45), Kate (42), Amelia (37). Although going by their actual ages would make Nancy Pants six months older than Derek. Link to comment

BaseOps March 10, 2019 Share March 10, 2019 The Jo-centric episode is 15x19, "Silent All These Years". When a trauma patient arrives at Grey Sloan, it forces Jo to confront her past; Bailey and Ben have to talk to Tuck about dating. Camila called it, "The hardest episode I ever shot." Krista wrote on Twitter, "I’m going to declare right now that this will be one of the most powerful episodes of #GreysAnatomy in 15 seasons. Possibly THE MOST powerful." Debbie Allen directed. Link to comment
Chas411 March 10, 2019 Share March 10, 2019 Camilla also teased to enjoy the jolex honeymoon period while it lasts. To be honest my issue with them is more about how they were given zero storylines so far rather then how happy they are so I’ll be disappointed if the latter half of the season is them in relationship peril. I think we’ve enough couple drama as it is. 4 Link to comment
BaseOps March 10, 2019 Share March 10, 2019 (edited) Yea, I've enjoyed the moments they've been given so far this season, but I wish we'd have seen a bit more of a surgical storyline for Jo. Last year we finally saw them really develop her as a great surgeon, but we haven't seen much follow-through this year. I like Alex as chief, I like his mom showing up, I love that he's happy... but Jo has felt a bit absent in the larger sense. I'm wondering where exactly this episode is going and I'm excited to see it. The teaser is generic enough that we don't know whether it's going to be about abuse, about her family, etc. Edited March 10, 2019 by BaseOps 1 Link to comment

Sure he is chief and he seems to actually like it, but what have we actually see him do in that position in the last 10 episodes, besides wandering the halls looking busily at his ipad and being reprimanded by Bailey? From ep. 15x09 to 15x13 he barely had any screentime whatsoever. I like that his mom is here, but what are the, even doing with that? What's the purpose of having her around? Just to nudge Jo and Alex to start making babies? So far I'm a bit let down by her visit. It's not an actual storyline, she's just there. The very least I expected was for her and Alex to have real talks about big and important things, like Alex's siblings (how and what they're doing, is Alex even in touch with them?), possibly a talk about his father, the past, and how much they've missed of each others' lives. Just something that goes a little deeper than Helen taking apart a doorknob for Alex. I did like that conversation, but I'm desperate for something with a little more substance for Alex.

Joana March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 That's the episode that "features a lot of Teddy", right?

It's just that, shouldn't she be on maternity leave by then? Or is there going to be another time jump in the meantime? Link to comment

They will make up another sister or a dead wife or secret lovechild or make his PTSD return or come up with something else. KMK is also directing and for whatever reason the writers of the show really love Owen. He is everywhere and I'm so beyond sick and tired of him. I can't take another season like this where they keep catering to the most horrible man on the show over and over again, but I don't believe Owen is going anywhere ever. 1 5 Link to comment

They're already setting up Koracick to be the fall guy when it comes to Towen, so I do believe there's a chance that Owen/Teddy won't come back next season. I mean, it's not a guarantee but if they do both leave, I won't be surprised. However, it's just as likely for both to stick around next season and take more screentime from other characters. 2 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama March 22, 2019 Share March 22, 2019 (edited) So who will turn out to be Jo's long lost daddy? I'm assuming the woman she met at the door was actually her mother, and not telling her that she covered up for someone else who had a baby. The worst I can imagine is it's Alex's wandering Daddy, or the woman doesn't know who the father is because it was rape by a stranger, or else incest. How sad there are all of these hideous possibilities. At least they're not creepy enough to have Jo turn out to be another half sister with Meredith's so-called father.

Watch it be that her biological mom was r*ped and that is the reason, or one of the reasons, Jo was abandoned. If this turns out to be the case, tptb are doing way too much with one character.

I didn't think that Jo meeting her mom, who left her at a fire station when she was two weeks old, would go smoothly. The end of this week's episode also showed that the meeting left Jo incredibly despondent and upset. I sort of figured that the happy, optimistic mood that led her to finally search for her mom meant that the discovery would be darker, too. She saw Alex so happy with his mom after all this time and thought maybe she could have the same thing. I hope this leads to an actual story arc for the back half of the season for Jo.
