Grey’s Anatomy: Ellen Pompeo’s absence, return, new doctors, date … all information on season 19

With the return of Grey’s Anatomy for season 19, AlloCiné invites you to find out all about the following consultations with Seattle doctors.

The 19th season of Grey’s Anatomy will be marked by the star’s long absence. Indeed, Ellen Pompeo, who slipped into Meredith’s blouse from the beginning of the medical series, decided to partially leave the set.

As previously announced, the actor will only “Limited capacity“This year. Thus, he will only appear in eight episodes. Nevertheless, he will take care of recording the famous monologue that opens and closes the episodes. Therefore, Nick (our hero’s new sweetheart) will be played by Scott Speedman. Grey’s Anatomy season 19 is less represented .Therefore he is relegated to an ordinary actor.

On the other hand, the rest of the recurring cast will be back in full. Thus Chandra Wilson (Bailey), James Pickens Jr. (Richard), Kevin McKidd (Owen), Kim Raver (Teddy), Kelly McCreary (Teddy), Anthony Hill (Winston), Katerina Scorsone (Amelia), Camilla Ludington (Joe) . Chris Carmack (Link) and Jake Borrell (Schmidt) will return early in the school year.

Finally, great news: Kate Walsh, Edison’s interpreter, will be there too! Already in the 18th season, he returns to Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital to lend a hand to his colleagues. No doubt letting the production bring back the former headliner for the spin-off Private Practice was done to compensate for the absence of Ellen Pompeo/Meredith…

Season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy will see five interns take their first steps into medicine… and so five new actors will add their names to the credits. Nico Terho will play Lucas, a student determined to prove himself. Adelaide Kane will play the impulsive Jules…who has already slept with Link!

Mika will be played by Midori Francis. This character will be a joker who knows how to turn his weaknesses into strengths. Harry Shum Jr. will play Blue, a highly intelligent and competitive intern. Finally, Alexis Floyd lends her qualities to Simone, a girl who doesn’t want to work there because of her painful past with the hospital…

Caterina Scorsone has already tweeted about the recruits at Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital and raved about them. He wrote on his account on July 31, 2022: “(…) The new ones are exciting and brilliant. inside and outside. Let’s go.”

At the end of season 18 of Grey’s Anatomy, the future of many characters remains unclear. While Meredith planned to live with Nick in Minnesota, the couple separated after the painful loss of a patient. She urges him to go back there alone, and decides to stay at Gray Sloan’s… of which he becomes interim chef because Bailey has resigned! Will Meredith and Nick be able to recover from this crisis?

Richard and Kathryn take a Saturday, and Owen and Ted leave town after being caught helping patients die with dignity…but illegally. Maggie wonders if she and Winston got married too quickly, and Amelia and Kai kiss again… Jo breaks up with Todd, and Link finally thinks that his best friend might mean more to him than he does. I didn’t think so.

What surprises await us next? In any case, the first trailer released by ABC indicates that these upcoming components will be placed under the banner of Second Chance.

In the United States, the new season of Grey’s Anatomy will begin airing on Thursday, October 6, 2022. In France, TF1 can usually draw these new adventures in spring, 2023 respectively.

Every year, everyone asks this question: will this season be the last of the series? Yet it is clear that the more time passes, the more indestructible American fiction seems! Shonda Rhimes, the creator of the medical drama, has always insisted that Grey’s Anatomy will end when Ellen Pompeo decides to leave…

For these new episodes, the headliner won’t be around for more than half of Season 19, but the Doctor’s adventures continue, coming and going among the cast who switch cards. If the fans are still there, without Ellen Pompeo, it will encourage the show’s teams to continue, if — alas! – Did he decide not to come back at all in the event of a season 20 renewal?

When asked about the temporary departure, the actor told Deadline:Grey’s Anatomy will be fine without me. I’ll still do the monologues (…) I’ll come back for the season finale and see if we continue.“

“I will always be a part of the series– says Ellen Pompeo. I am an associate producer. I’ve spent two decades of my career here, it’s my heart and soul. I’m definitely never going to leave as long as the show goes on.”

Must follow carefully…
