'Grey's Anatomy' Roundup: Who's Leaving, Who Has a Budding Romance and Why the Show Is Going Back to Its Roots for Season 14Wednesday, September 06, 2017

Who's Out of Grey Sloan?

Going Back to Its Roots

Grey's Anatomy will be welcoming backKrista Vernoff, who wrote and executive produced the series for its first eight seasons. The return of Vernoff is expected to bring back some much-needed levity.

"We're touching base in a meaningful way with where we left off with all the characters from last season and to contain that much story in two hours, you have to keep it light, bouncy and fun -- and Krista Vernoff brings that shift to the show," added Kelly McCreary (Maggie).

"It's funnier, it's sexier, it's lighter," Gianniotti said. "We're going to have fun this season. There's just been a lot of separation and loss, so we want to show the characters having some fun. Also, a lot of the men are single now, so we're going to explore what that dynamic is like."

A Budding Romance

The season 13 finale seemingly paved the way for a potential new romance between Maggie and Jackson -- courtesy of April, who took notice of the connection. This leaves plenty of questions not just among fans but for the characters involved as well. While it's not yet safe to assume a April-Jackson-Maggie love triangle, Maggie (at least) will be dealing with April's truth bomb.

What's In Store for Jo?

The past several seasons have been tough on Jo but she may finally catch a break in season 14. Apart from exploring her domestic violence storyline, love may be in the cards for her as well.

"This season Jo may feel inspired by someone again," added the actress, who has heard Jo may find a new mentor in Season 14.

And now that her best friend Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) is no longer around, she may find someone else to lean on.

Eric Dane Reveals He's Only Watched Three Episodes of Grey's Anatomy

Eric Dane may have played Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy for six seasons but that doesn't mean he's an avid fan who religiously watches the ABC series. In fact, he's only seen three episodes during his time on the show.

That doesn't mean, however, that he doesn't keep in touch with some of his Grey's Anatomy co-stars. "Shonda's great," said Dane, who is currently starring on The Last Ship. "I'm still friends with her to this day. One thing that you do with Shonda is that you don't deviate. That's one of the biggest lessons you learn, is that you stick to the script."
