In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Jay Hayden, the actor who portrayed Travis Montgomery on Station 19, enthusiastically discussed the possibility of bringing his character into Grey’s Anatomy. Hayden’s character, Travis, became a fan favorite on Station 19, which, as a spinoff of Grey’s Anatomy, often included crossovers and shared elements with the flagship medical drama. While speaking about his love for both the Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy universes, Hayden made it clear that he would be open to reprising his role if the opportunity arose. He stated, “I will always love that world,” referring to Shonda Rhimes’ creations, and expressed his deep connection to the show and the character of Travis. He also pointed out that the door is “never closed” for him to return, emphasizing his ongoing affection for the character and how much he enjoyed playing Travis.
Hayden’s statement has excited fans of both Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy, especially considering that Station 19 concluded in May 2024 after seven seasons. Despite the end of the series, there has been a strong fan-driven campaign to bring Station 19 back, though no official announcements have been made about its return. Hayden’s willingness to appear on Grey’s Anatomy suggests that while Station 19 may be over, the character of Travis could still have a future in the larger Grey’s universe.
The crossover between the two shows has already been a staple of their shared legacy. Grey’s Anatomy characters, especially Ben Warren (played by Jason George), have frequently appeared on Station 19, creating a bridge between the two. The concept of a Station 19 character, especially someone like Travis Montgomery, showing up on Grey’s Anatomy would represent a reversal of the usual dynamic, where characters from Grey’s make their way to Station 19. This change could breathe new life into the Grey’s universe, offering fans a fresh crossover experience that would be a treat for Station 19 fans while keeping the beloved characters alive in a new setting.
While the focus of the crossovers so far has primarily been on characters originating from Grey’s Anatomy showing up on Station 19, the prospect of Station 19 characters—particularly Travis—appearing on Grey’s Anatomy is a tantalizing possibility. Given that Grey’s Anatomy is still running with no sign of slowing down, the idea of incorporating a character like Travis could be a way for the show to acknowledge the connection between the two series and satisfy the longing of Station 19 fans who are still hoping for some kind of continuation, even if it’s not in the form of a full revival. Travis’ potential return would allow for Station 19 fans to still enjoy the world and characters they love, while giving Grey’s Anatomy the chance to evolve and grow its narrative with a familiar face.
This potential crossover would also be a great way to maintain the momentum and energy from Station 19 without the need for reviving the entire series. Hayden’s openness to appearing as Travis in future seasons of Grey’s could signal to fans that while Station 19 may be over, the spirit of the show and its characters are far from forgotten. The inclusion of Travis on Grey’s Anatomy would offer a form of closure or continuation for the character while possibly introducing new dynamics and storylines to the already established Grey’s universe. Fans of both shows would likely welcome the opportunity to see Travis interact with Grey’s characters, perhaps adding to the drama and heart that the long-running medical series is known for.
Given the depth of Hayden’s affection for his role and the Shondaland world, it’s clear that the potential for a Station 19 character to make a surprise appearance on Grey’s is not just a possibility—it’s something that could bring great excitement and emotional payoff for fans who are still attached to the Station 19 storylines and characters. It may not be the full return that many are hoping for, but a Grey’s Anatomy cameo from Travis Montgomery would certainly be an exciting way to keep the Station 19 legacy alive.
