The emotional journey of Station 19 is nearing its end, and ABC has shared a poignant featurette that captures the heartfelt farewells of the cast and crew as they prepare for the series finale. This Friday, fans will tune in to watch the concluding episode of the beloved Grey’s Anatomy spin-off.
The behind-the-scenes video showcases the cast grappling with their emotions as they say goodbye to the show that has been a significant part of their lives. Jaina Lee Ortiz expresses the collective sentiment: “No one is ready to say goodbye.” Jay Hayden lightens the mood, joking about how he’ll miss seeing Jason George’s face every day. The camaraderie among the cast is evident, as they reflect on the bittersweet experience of their last table read and final scenes—prompting the distribution of boxes upon boxes of tissues during production.
This emotional farewell also serves as a celebration of Station 19‘s legacy. What began as a tentative spin-off has evolved into a beloved series, providing a platform for characters like Ben Warren and Dr. Carina De Luca to thrive even after their arcs in Grey’s Anatomy concluded. With over 100 episodes to its name, Station 19 has carved out a unique space within the ABC universe, a feat that’s rare in today’s television landscape.
A Finale Filled with Excitement and Mystery
Showrunner Meg Marinis has hinted at exciting crossover events leading up to the finale, although she has kept details under wraps. She mentioned being in constant communication with Station 19’s showrunners, Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige, especially regarding Ben Warren’s fate, which has implications for Grey’s Anatomy’s Miranda Bailey.
As fans prepare for the penultimate episode airing this Thursday, the dedicated Station 19 fanbase has mobilized a #SaveStation19 campaign, urging the network to reconsider its cancellation decision. However, with ABC’s recent budget cuts, it appears that the series will conclude without a chance for revival.
With the finale approaching, emotions run high as fans, cast, and crew alike reflect on the incredible journey of Station 19.
