While Grey's Anatomy was forced to end early due to COVID-19, they still managed to end with their signature cliff-hanger. Season 16 is over and everyone is eagerly awaiting Season 17.

Now, anyone who has ever watched Grey's is aware that characters come and go, but one character stays consistently alive (mostly). That character is Ellen Pomepo's Meredith Grey. Many people still remember Dr. Cristina Yang, Grey's best friend, and of course her husband, dubbed McDreamy.

Shonda Rhimes revealed that when she plotted this show, she took parts of her own personality and placed them into the shows characters, specifically the mains. She had an interview with Oprah Winfrey, after the show launched, and revealed just which characters she most identified with.

In 2006, Rhimes revealed how Chandra Wilson got the role of Miranda Bailey, and the original vision she had for Bailey: The script was written with no character descriptions, no clue as to what anyone should look likeexcept for [resident doctor] Miranda Bailey." See, Rhimes had specific thoughts on what Bailey should look like.
