Now PlayingGrey's Anatomy 7 Worst Couples/Hookups, Ranked

Ever since Season 1 of Grey's Anatomy, fans have joked about the "incestuous" relationships among the show's doctors. Despite being close enough to their colleagues to consider them family, the doctors and residents at Grey Sloan (nee Seattle Grace) often found themselves falling into bed together. Like, really often.

But as the show prepares to enter its 14th season, the term "incest" may no longer be such a misnomer -- and some fans aren't having it.

We're talking, of course, about the budding romance between step-siblings Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) and Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), a pairing that seemed to emerge out of nowhere when none other than Jackson's ex-wife April (Sarah Drew) told Maggie it was clear Jackson had feelings for her in the Season 13 finale.

(via giphy)

Well, OK, maybe the spark didn't come out of nowhere. Maggie did turn to Jackson for support after her mother died in Season 13 -- even though he had kept Mrs. Pierce's condition a secret from Maggie while he was treating her. After that, they certainly seemed to grow closer at the hospital. But April's observation still came a little out of left field.

Grey's Anatomy Mega Buzz: Are Maggie and Jackson Actually a Thing?

After her failed romance with DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) and unrequited crush on Riggs (Martin Henderson), it sounds like Maggie is just eenie-meenie-miney-mo'ing her way around the men at her workplace, without much success. Would it kill her (or any of the other doctors, for that matter) to maybe try an online dating service for once?

And a Maggie-Jackson romance provides yet another very convenient roadblock to keep Jackson and April -- a popular couple shipped by many fans who share a child, have their own hashtag (#Japril) and had an entire episode devoted to themselves last season -- apart for at least the better part of another year.

Also, and I believe I mentioned this earlier: the two are step-siblings. Maggie's father Richard (James Pickens Jr.) is married to Jackson's mother Catherine (Debbie Allen). What is this, Game of Thrones?

Whether Maggie and Jackson will actually take the plunge remains to be seen, but fans seem to be pretty divided about the potential pairing.

This week, Williams himself noted that fans seem to be "evenly divided" over the issue, but seemed to maybe indicate that he's not on board with it, retweeting a fan-made anti-Jaggie meme with the simple observation, "Very good."

Look, don't get me wrong: ever since Maggie's character was introduced at the end of Season 10, she's been one of the more interesting and likable characters on the show -- but has suffered nothing but heartache. The closest we've seen her come to having a relationship was her short-lived dalliances with DeLuca and her mostly offscreen stint with the radiologist Ethan. It would be great to see Maggie in a long-term, fulfilling relationship, the likes of which we've seen almost all of the other Grey's characters involved in. Not only is it about time for Maggie to have something good happen to her, giving her a significant other would also provide a wealth of potential drama for a character who longs for a partner -- despite having made her studies and career a priority for her whole life (and who we know has deemed herself incapable of sleeping next to other people).

But a Maggie-Jackson pairing seems like merely a plot device, an arbitrary pairing-off that makes Maggie little more than a pawn in the larger #Japril storyline. There's no denying that there is chemistry between Williams and McCreary; but up until this point it's seemed to be more of the brother/sister variety because, well, that's what they are. Plus, with so many fans already voicing their disdain for the romance before it's even officially happened, it will be a difficult task for the writers and actors to develop the two characters into a couple worth rooting for. And the alternative -- turning viewers against one or both of the mostly beloved characters -- is almost worse. It would be a better idea to put the idea of Jaggie to bed rather than in one.

Also, ew.

Grey's Anatomy kicks off Season 14 with a two-hour premiere Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8/7c on ABC.

What an amazing feeling it is, for a whisper to feel like a roar: For a light guitar to feel like the heaviest thing in the world. Such is the experience of The Anatomy of Franks new album,South America, a breathtaking and intimate exploration of life, love, travel and being. Deceptively simple and utterly human, this record is not to be missed.

Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering South America, The Anatomy of Franks powerful third album (independently out 8/31/2017). With the goal of recording an album on every continent (and being the first band to do so), The Anatomy of Frank are not only a talented folk/rock indie act, but also a band with a true mission. Consisting of Kyle Woolard (guitar, vocals), Jimmy Bullis (keyboards) and Max Bollinger (drums), the Charlottesville, Virginia-based trio ascribe to no genre in particular; instead, they often look to themes like personal growth, coping with loss and change, etc, to define their identity. Recorded, as its name suggests, on the South American continent, South Americais the second record and continent to be checked off The Anatomy of Franks list the first being 2015sNorth America.

South America The Anatomy of Frank

Yet you do not need to be familiar with The Anatomy of Franks previous work in order to enjoy their latest output: Sporting an array of marvelous harmonies and incredibly haunting imagery,South Americashoots high and nails the landing. From the slow rise of album openerEcuador (A New Year) to its shuddering close, Viteri and everything in-between, The Anatomy of Frank continually immerse their audience in warm acoustic and electric journeys that capture the heart.

I never felt worse than when I finally let go of these songs, shares guitar and vocalist Kyle Woolard. It was like postpartum depression theyd lived within me for so long, and suddenly they were no longer when I record this one day songs. I struggled for several months before I was able to get back on track. They chronicle a lot of my internal struggles and life experiences throughout the past decade.

Anatomy of Frank 2017

Recorded with Stephen Cope in a private farmhouse in the Ecuadorian mountains in 5 short weeks, South Americacombines hope and strife, passion with vision. Songs like the personal ballad La Llorena leave a lasting impression upon first listen, and though The Anatomy of Franks subject matter is deep and difficult to digest, South America is immediately accessible and easy to fall in love with. In a sense, The Anatomy of Frank have taken some of the hardest, worst aspects of our world, and created something beautiful with them: Theyve found warmth in the cold.

Dr Teddy Altman might be returning to Grey's Anatomy in season 14, but don't expect to see Dr Callie Torres back.

Sara Ramirez left her role as Callie in season 12's finale to take "some welcome time off", but with her ex-love Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) losing her love interest Eliza, the door is open for a possible return for Callie.

But that's not happening anytime soon.

"There are no plans at the moment. We love her and we miss her, [but] there's been no discussion of it," executive producer Debbie Allen told TVLine of a possible return for Ramirez.

Since leaving the show, Ramirez has called out ABC for airing a joke mocking bisexual people on sitcom The Real O'Neals.

Ramirez, who identifies as bisexual, urged her followers on Twitter to sign a petition that accused the network of biphobia by sharing a link and writing that "WORDS MATTER".

ABCAdam Taylor

Earlier this year, Capshaw had spoken about the possible return of Arizona's ex-love to Grey Sloan Memorial. "I feel like nothing is impossible. There's a great chance she would come back for something," she explained.

Her co-star Giacomo Gianniotti has also been teasing that the new season is "funnier, sexier, lighter" after admitting that the show has been "dreary for a long time".

Grey's Anatomy returns to ABC in the US on September 28. Sky Living airs the show in the UK, with a return date to be announced.

MOBILE, Ala. As far as this Saturday, we know Ole Miss is a very good opponent, said South Alabama coach Joey Jones. Were ready to go to a SEC school, and a SEC stadium to play a ballgame. Its exciting for our players.

The anatomy of an upset. It all starts with a mindset. A belief anything is possible.

Theyre not intimidated by the venue. Weve been to Tennessee, weve been to South Carolina and Mississippi State, said Jones. I think they have a little chip on their shoulder. They want to show people what they can do.

To pull off an upset, you have to be prepared. The Jags have been in fall camp for nearly a month.

They know toughness is going to win. They know toughness is going to win on the road. Toughness is going to win those close ballgames, said Jones.

And they have more depth than ever.

A crucial component if you want to beat a SEC foe.

If you look at it over the years, most of those games we sort of wore down at the end of the game. They would kind of get us late in the fourth quarter because were just tired. So having those fresh legs in their will certainly make a difference, said Jones.

Depth, preparation and a belief in yourself and your unit, the necessary ingredients to pull off an upset.

Now its time to put it all to the test.

Were going to bring this program to the next level. Thats our goal this year, said Jones.

When Sara Ramirez said goodbye to "Grey's Anatomy" in Season 12, it sounded more like "see you later"; yet, so far, that "later" still hasn't come.

Debbie Allen, one of the ABC drama's executive producers, has made it clear that a Ramirez return as her character, Dr. Callie Torres, is not currently in the works. The EP told TVLine that "there are no plans at the moment" to bring back the fan favorite orthopedic surgeon.

"We love her and we miss her, [but] there's been no discussion of it," Allen said.

We also miss Callie, so we're focusing on the possible silver lining here: Allen said "at the moment," which leaves the door open for the future. Ramirez herself did the same when she left the show, saying that she was taking "some time off." The actress even indicated that she and producers would "definitely continue our conversations, making it seem very possible that Callie could someday do another stint at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

If Callie does return at any point, many fans will be angling for her to rekindle her relationship with Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw). Her former co-worker and love is going to be back on the market in Season 14 after the departure of Dr. Eliza Minnick (Marika Dominczyk). With that being the case, "Calzona" shippers have reason to hang onto at least some hope.

No, we won't see Ramirez when "Grey's Anatomy" Season 14 premieres on Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, but we will wait and see what the future holds.

This means, Arizona will be single and ready to mingle when Season 14 premieres on Sept. 28. Its unclear if Callies still dating Penny, but who ever really cared about that relationship anyway?

Could the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy get any better? We've already received enough incredible casting news to completely blow our minds, and now there are rumors that Sara Ramirez could be returning to the hit show to reprise her role as Callie Torres.

But don't hold your breath, Grey's fans. According to executive producer Debbie Allen, "there are no plans at the moment" for Ramirez to return to the series, even for a guest role, during Season 14.

"We love her and we miss her, [but] theres been no discussion of it," Allen added.

We probably shouldn't have gotten our hopes up. But from the moment we learned that Marika Dominczyk, who played Arizona's most recent girlfriend on the show, won't be returning for the upcoming season, we couldn't help but wonder who would pick up the pieces of newly single Arizona's broken heart. And who better than her old flame Callie? They were so great when they were together. We need them back together.

Now PlayingGrey's Anatomy: How Will Jo Manage Without Stephanie?

Poor Jo!

That's not a statement we use much in relation to Grey's Anatomy, but we have to admit that homegirl has had it rough the past couple of seasons. On top of losing her fiance, drama causing her to fall behind in the residents program and her coworker falling in love with her, Jo's (Camilla Luddington) best friend is now leaving Grey Sloan to find herself.

That leaves one lonely Jo running around the hospital, and that's pretty damn sad. Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) was like a sister to Jo, Luddington told TV Guide at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. However, with Stephanie gone Jo will be looking for someone else to lean on.

The water flowing in the Newberry Street fountain is teal because September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

During a brief ceremony Wednesday morning, Debbie Mills and Alicia Owens of Gails Anatomy got the organizations commemoration efforts started a little early by pouring dark, greenish-blue dye into the fountain.

The more than 20 people who joined them included Dr. Todd Wright, general manager and executive vice president of AECOMs Nuclear & Environment Strategic Business Unit, and Aiken City Council members Gail Diggs and Lessie Price.

The fountain is in a good location to help us spread awareness about ovarian cancer to Aikens residents and visitors, Mills said. There are festivals and different events in the area, and The Alley is close by. Were also putting up teal bows in downtown Aiken.

Mills is the founder and director of Gails Anatomy, and Owens is the co-director.

In 2007, Mills daughter, Gail Mills, died of ovarian cancer less than four months after being diagnosed with the disease. A graduate of Silver Bluff High School and USC Aiken who worked at Target, she was only 30 years old.

I wanted to make something positive out of the whole experience and tell people about ovarian cancer and try to save lives, Debbie said.

Not long after Gails death, family, friends and co-workers formed a team for an American Cancer Society Relay For Life fundraiser.

The theme was Night of a Thousand Stars, which had to do with movies and TV shows, and Gails favorite TV show was Greys Anatomy, so we called our team Gails Anatomy, Debbie said.

Afterward, Debbie decided she wanted to do more to educate women about ovarian cancer, and that led to Gails Anatomy becoming a group with a year-round mission to raise awareness.

I want to prevent what we went through from happening to someone else, Debbie said. Because it happened to Gail, I know it can happen to anybody. She did everything she was supposed to do. She went to the doctor every year. We didnt have any history of ovarian cancer or breast cancer in our family.

Symptoms of ovarian cancer include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, loss of appetite or feeling full more quickly than usual and a more frequent or urgent need to urinate.

For more information about Gails Anatomy, visit the organizations website, http://www.ovariancancerawareness4life.org, or its Facebook page.

Dede Biles is a general assignment reporter for the Aiken Standard and has been with the newspaper since January 2013. A native of Concord, N.C, she graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
