Grey"s Anatomy will be featuring quite a few changes on Season 15.
But at least one thing will remain the same:
The doctors at the center of this long-running series will NOT exactly be difficult on the eyes.
A pair of cases in point:
As previously reported, neither Sarah Drew nor Jessica Capshaw will reprise their roles (as April Kepner and Arizona Robbins, respectively) ths fall, but producers are looking to fill these holes with the newbies pictured above.
The official preview highlighted on this page shows actors Chris Carmack and Alex Landi strolling into the hospital as two handsome physicians, along with a female patient lying in bed.
“Oh, my God,” she gushes as they enter her room.
Speaking of bed, the concept of entering (sorry) and a woman expressing awe/satisfaction… it also looks like Meredith will be getting a new love interest on Season 15.
This is the main takeaway from the trailer for most fans.
At the conclusion of this trailer – which teases a two-part season premiere with "one jaw-dropping twist" – Ellen Pompe"s Meredith seems rather flustered around Dr. Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti).
Yes, she shot him down last season.
But this season? All we know is that the footage flashes to scenes of the two making out between the sheets.
Elsewhere, Kim Raver’s Teddy Altman appears, announcing she’s “11 weeks pregnant,” as Dr. Maggie Pierce (played by Kelly McCreary) looks at her in disbelief.
We can"t wait to see how this storyline develops.
Grey’s Anatomy Season 15 premieres on ABC on Thursday, September 27, at 8/7c.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Drew said the following about her unexpected departure:
"I was told that the show had too many characters. And that they needed to downsize because they couldn’t service all of the characters effectively…
"It was really hard to hear that.
"But [producer Krista Vernoff] had a lot of very complimentary things to say about the work that I had done – especially this past season – and that April was going to have her happy ending."
We"ll miss April for sure.
But we"re still psyched to find out what"s in store in Seattle on Season 15.
