Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy has been known to stun viewers.

On a very frequent basis.

Look it this way, Grey's Anatomy viewers:

At least no fan favorite was killed off on Thursday night's Season 17 finale.

The doctors are in.

And they won't be going anywhere for at least another year.

Toward the end of a season of unexpected returns, Grey's Anatomy is now dealing with a departure.

The show is going to look a whole lot less handsome moving forward.

There was good news and bad news for Grey's Anatomy fans on Thursday night.

And also some shocking/amazing/euphoric/romantic/monumental news.

Yup.

Grey's Anatomy just did it again.

Patrick Dempsey returrned to Grey's Anatomy for the third time this season on Thursday night.

But he did so under rather dour circumstances.

Grey's Anatomy just did it again, you guys.

The ABC drama returned on Thursday night from a lengthy hiatus -- and proved that it still knows how to shock millions of viewers across the globe.

We are hope you are sitting down for this, television viewers.

The day that we never thought would ever arrive may actually be here a lot sooner than we previously believed.

Darn it, Grey's Anatomy.

You've done it again.

Meredith Grey is not out of the woods.

At the top of Thursday's new episode of Grey's Anatomy, the beloved doctor seemed to be out of the woods.

Grey's Anatomy has been handing the COVID-19 pandemic ever since it returned to the air last month.

It was inevitable there would be a big loss for the characters as they battle a virus that is pushing medical resources to the brink.

Move over, McDreamy.

And make way for 007!

We hope you're sitting down for this one, Grey's Anatomy fans.

Why?

Meredith Grey has COVID-19. 

The unfortunate news was dropped on Thursday's new episode of Grey's Anatomy as our titular hero continued to meet her deceased husband in a series of vivid dreams. 

Patrick Dempsey surprised television viewers everywhere last week by returning to Grey's Anatomy. 

We still can't believe we're writing that sentence:

It's the rivalry that will apparently never die.

And also the rivalry that many current television fans likely never knew existed.

In this age of spoilers, social media and the Internet in general, it's nearly impossible for a television show to pull off a true stunner.

Clare Crawley falls in love with a suitor immediately on The Bachelorette and leaves the series early, only to be replaced by Tayshia Adams?

Grey's Anatomy pulled off the impossible on Thursday night.

The long-running ABC drama teased a premiere that would include a “shocking, jaw-dropping ending.”

A new season of Grey's Anatomy hit the air Thursday night, and while the series typically heightens the drama, it could not have been more realistic. 

As expected, the premiere covered COVID-19, while simultaneously filling in the blanks on what happened to all of the characters between last season's finale and this season's premiere. 

In a new interview, Ellen Pompeo dropped some harsh truth on television fans.

She said this upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy may finally be it for the iconic medical drama.

In case you haven't heard, there's a global pandemic out there.

This has affected every facet of life in every state across the nation.

The doctors are about to be back in on ABC.

Insiders have confirmed to Variety that Grey's Anatomy will resume production on Season 17 later this month, following a lengthy hiatus as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
