As you know if you’re a fan of Grey’s Anatomy, most of the stories about a group of surgeons and trainees that take place over the show’s 19 seasons are fictional.
But there are some that exceptionally reflect real events related to a team member. This is the case with the subframe of april and jacksoncharacters played by Sara Drew AND Jessie Williams.
In season 11, the couple learns that their first child will suffer from osteogenesis imperfecta type 2, a syndrome known as osteogenesis imperfecta. glass bone disease.
And this story unfortunately has a true backstory. It is worth specifying that crystal bone disease causes bones to break (fracture) easily and its symptoms can be mild or severe depending on the type of osteogenesis imperfecta you have.
However. Before Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rimes tackled that part of the storyline, Drew proposed writing a story about one of her friends who was about to have a baby with “glass bones.” Shonda has finally used this real-life drama to make fiction.
In February 2015, when the episode aired, the actress who plays April said, as reported by Allocine: “I told this story a little glibly. April and Catherine (Debbie Allen) had a pro- life/pro-choice, in which Catherine assumed that all Christians believed the same.”
Drew explained that he suggested it to Shonda because it was her way of proving that life wasn’t all black and white. “When I found out April was pregnant, I asked Shonda, ‘You’re really going to use the story that happened to my friend, right?’
“He didn’t intend to do it, but he told me it was a good idea and they would do everything possible to use it. I was very excited because I found it very interesting to see how a couple, made up of a believer and an atheist, could deal with that stage” Drew added.
The farewell of the protagonist
Season 19 was Ellen Pompeo’s last in the role of Meredith Gray. Or at least as a stable character. Some say there will be apparitions of her in the future…
The truth is that the ending of the main character and narrator of the fiction takes place in the fictional hospital Gray Sloan Memorial from Seattle, USA, it was confirmed through a statement.
Pompeo, who teased ahead of the season 19 premiere that he would be off to search new horizonswill continue to be closely linked to the proposal as a producer.
