All the Drama We Expect in the New Season of Grey's Anatomy
7 Predictions For Season 16 of Grey's Anatomy
2
Over the years, Grey's Anatomy has evolved from being a show mostly about Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) to a show mostly about the hospital where Meredith works. Meredith herself has certainly gone through the emotional wringer more times than seems healthy, but she's not the main focus of the show anymore and hasn't been for a long time. This was especially true in season 15, which gave other characters meaty, compelling storylines, but largely relegated Meredith to her love life, tossing her into a forced love triangle before ultimately pairing her off with charming-but-boring resident Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti).
However, the end of season 15 has Meredith poised to take centre stage of her own show again, after she wrote her daughter's name on an uninsured patient's medical forms and subsequently got herself fired, along with Alex (Justin Chambers) and Richard (James Pickens Jr.) Although Andrew was ready to take the fall for her, Meredith ended the season prepared to fight her own battles and turned herself in to the police. With Meredith beginning season 16 unemployed and possibly incarcerated, it seems as though this upcoming season will finally give her a meaty arc that she can really sink her teeth into, and which has nothing to do with the person she's dating.
