When the 19th season of “Grey’s Anatomy” premieres on ABC on Oct. 6, Meredith Grey will be front and center in the episode, as she’s been since the series made its debut on March 27, 2005. Meredith is now the chief of surgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and she’s been charged with rebuilding its surgical intern program after it was dismantled last season following a patient’s death. Five of those interns will be new characters this season.
Vernoff learned last spring that Pompeo wanted to reduce her role on the show’s 19th season, which was when she and the writers’ room decided to inject “Grey’s Anatomy” with a slew of actors — taking “a big, bold swing,” as Vernoff put it — who are new to the show as series regulars. Harry Shum Jr., Adelaide Kane, Alexis Floyd, Midori Francis and Niko Terho will play the interns, who are central to the plot of the premiere episode.
Vernoff pointed out how many seasons the initial cast of “Grey’s Anatomy” — Pompeo, Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight and Justin Chambers — remained interns, during those years when the show’s ratings were in the stratosphere. “And there was a reason for that,” she said. “We needed them to be green. We needed them to be new at this, and to be able to make mistakes that were profound and impactful — not just on their own lives, but on the lives of their patients.
