Interesting Tidbits of the webseries" Gray's Anatomy

The American medical drama television program Grey's Anatomy made its midseason debut on ABC on March 27, 2005. The show centers on the lives of surgical interns, residents, and attendings as they advance to more experienced physicians while juggling their personal and professional ties. The phrase "Gray's Anatomy" is a reference to Henry Gray's well-known textbook of the same name, which was originally printed in London in 1858. Shonda Rhimes created the series pilot and continued to write for it up until 2015. Currently, Krista Vernoff, a former associate of Rhimes, is the showrunner. Rhimes was one of the project's executive producers, along with Betsy Beers, Mark Gordon, Krista Vernoff, Rob Corn, Mark Wilding, Allan Heinberg, and most recently, Ellen Pompeo. Los Angeles, California is the main location for filming even though the series is set in Seattle, Washington.

What did the show Chronicles?

The show chronicles the life of Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), the famous general surgeon Ellis Grey's (Kate Burton) daughter, beginning with the day she was accepted into the hospital's fictitious surgical residency program (later named Seattle Grace Mercy West and finally, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital). Grey works with other medical professionals Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Alex Karev, and George O'Malley (T. R. Knight) while she is an intern. These individuals also struggle to juggle their personal lives with busy schedules and demanding residency obligations. They are supervised by Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), a senior resident, who collaborates with attending doctors Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), head of cardiothoracic surgery and Yang's fiancé, and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), head of neurosurgery and Meredith's love interest. Ellis Grey once had a relationship with Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), chief of surgery and attending general surgeon. Burke, O'Malley, and Stevens all leave the show over the first six seasons.

Jo Wilson marries Karev!

Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington), who marries Karev, Ben Warren (Jason George), an anesthesiologist-turned-resident-turned-firefighter[13], who weds Bailey, and Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary), who is also the head of cardiothoracic surgery, are three examples. Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) was once in love with Meredith's maternal half-sister. Derek Shepherd passes away in season 11, and attending cardiovascular surgeon Nathan Riggs (Martin Henderson) joins the show in season 12. The attending neurosurgeon Thomas Koracick (Greg Germann) makes his first appearances in season 14's early episodes, and Riggs departs the show to begin a life with Owen's long-lost sister Megan (Abigail Spencer); by the season finale, Robbins, Kepner, and Warren have also left the program.

Karev made his final appearance

Karev made his final appearance on the show halfway through the 16th season when Cormac Hayes (Richard Flood) took over as the new Chief of Pediatric Surgery. DeLuca is wounded in the 17th season while pursuing a kidnapper, and despite Hunt and Altman's best attempts, he loses his life. In season 17, Avery and Koracick split ways as well since Avery is moving to Boston to take over his family's Foundation and Koracick is leaving to help Avery. In the 18th season of the show, Hayes leaves to return to his native country. Grey's Anatomy depicts the lives of surgical interns, residents, and attendings at the fictitious Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital (previously Seattle Grace Hospital in seasons 1-6, Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in seasons 6–9, and then Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital in seasons 9–present), as the interns gradually mature into experienced physicians under the guidance of their residents, attendings, and chiefs of surgery. Every episode usually starts with a voice-over narration by Meredith Grey or another recurring character that sets up the program's main subject. 

The conclusions of the Seasons of Grey`s Anatomy

The conclusion of the season usually involves a dramatic occurrence, such as a character passing away.  While the show focuses on both the doctors' personal and professional life, the majority of episodes center on their routines as surgeons.  Concerns about medical ethics are frequently brushed aside in the series in favor of character growth and interpersonal interactions. While treating their patient's illnesses, frequently through difficult surgeries, doctors also exhibit a sense of competition and seek recognition. Residents may quarrel over who gets the challenge of a specific patient who has come that day after arriving at the hospital each morning.  Cases are assigned by a hospital superior, which frequently causes conflict between the residents and their superiors. The doctors' interactions with their patients are intercut with scenes involving their coworkers in each episode. Each doctor receives a case and, with the assistance of his or her accompanying physician, diagnoses the patient, which typically results in surgery.  The surgeons typically develop close relationships with their patients, and patients frequently communicate with their doctors inadvertently about the doctor's personal life.

Main Plots

The five characters Grey, Yang, Stevens, Karev, and O'Malley are first presented as surgical interns in the first episode of the series.  In season 6, Bailey, a senior resident who eventually served as the hospital's Chief Resident and an attending general surgeon, serves as their initial mentor.  Richard Webber, Chief of Surgery, who has a prior personal connection to Meredith due to having an affair with her mother when Meredith was a little child, initially leads the surgical program. Both attending cardiothoracic surgeon Preston Burke and attending neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd, affectionately known as "McDreamy" by the residents, work for Webber. Meredith's love interest, Shepherd, is introduced, while Burke starts dating Yang. Addison Montgomery, an obstetrician-gynecologist and neonatal surgeon, Mark Sloan, an orthopedic surgeon named Callie Torres, and New York-based plastic surgeon Mark Sloan are all introduced in the second season of the show. Sloan, Shepherd's former closest friend, helped the dissolution of his marriage by having an affair with Montgomery, while Torres is presented as a love interest and potential wife for O'Malley. Montgomery, Shepherd's estranged wife, arrives in Seattle seeking reconciliation with him.

What did the third Season's last episode Introduce?

The third season's last episode introduces Lexie Grey, Meredith's half-sister who, following the unexpected loss of her mother, decides to complete her internship at Seattle Grace Hospital and starts an on-again, off-again romance with Sloan.  Burke and Yang work to plan their wedding after becoming engaged, while Montgomery leaves the program in the season 3 finale and moves to California in search of a new start. Burke's departure from the program, after abandoning Yang at the altar on the day of their wedding, is also depicted in the season three finale. 

All are promoted to residents in the Fourth Season

In the season 4 premiere, Grey, Yang, Stevens, and Karev are all promoted to residents, whereas O'Malley is required to redo his internship year due to his failure on the intern exam. As a result of him having an affair with Stevens and initially keeping it from Torres, O'Malley, and Torres later get divorced. Erica Hahn, a cardiothoracic surgeon, enters the fourth season as Torres' love interest.  Hahn leaves the show during the fifth season after an argument with Torres, and O'Malley retakes his intern exam, passes it this time, and joins his fellow medical professionals as a resident. Two new characters are introduced: Dr. Arizona Robbins, a pediatric surgeon, and Dr. Owen Hunt, a former trauma surgeon for the United States Army. Yang develops a romantic interest in Hunt, while Robbins starts dating Torres.

End of the Fifth Season

At the end of the fifth season, Stevens and Karev are married after learning that she has stage IV metastatic melanoma.  Meredith and Shepherd also exchange vows on a blue post-it note during their marriage. ]O'Malley passes away in the sixth season's opening episode after suffering injuries while saving a woman from a bus, and Stevens subsequently leaves Seattle after having a communication breakdown with her ex-husband Karev when Seattle Grace merged with Mercy West Hospital. As Mercy West Hospital and Seattle Grace Hospital combine, a number of new characters are introduced. Residents April Kepner, Jackson Avery, Reed Adamson, and Charles Percy all go from Mercy West Hospital to Seattle Grace Hospital. Avery dates Lexie for a little while until she rejoins Sloan.  Teddy Altman is then introduced as the brand-new Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
