In the aftermath of Station 19‘s series finale, showrunner Zoanne Clack discussed the intriguing possibility of Ben Warren (played by Jason George) returning to Grey’s Anatomy. The finale, titled “One Last Time,” marked the end of the firefighter saga without any major cast deaths, making Ben’s character trajectory all the more compelling.
Clack hinted at Ben’s return to his surgical residency, emphasizing that it felt like a natural progression for his character. “I don’t think anything else would’ve made sense for him,” she stated, reflecting on the character’s growth and the show’s conclusion. Although she stopped short of confirming his move to Grey’s, she noted that the direction aligned well with Ben’s journey.
Ben, who originally left Grey’s to become a firefighter, maintained connections with the medical drama through his marriage to Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson). Despite his commitment to firefighting, the character’s recent reflections suggest a desire to return to medicine, particularly as he grapples with the physical limitations imposed by his job.
While no formal arrangements for Ben’s return to Grey’s Anatomy have been made, the character’s ties to the medical world remain strong. Fans can anticipate potential developments as the storyline unfolds, leaving the door open for future crossovers between the two series.
