In a previous update, I had mentioned that this weekend there would be an exhibit celebrating the 15 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy called “Anatomy of an Icon: 15 Season of Grey’s.”
On Friday, Justin dropped by the exhibit and some lucky fans met him there. The official Grey’s Instagram account posted a photo of Justin as well a couple of fans. Check out the photos below.
For those wanting to visit the exhibit, it’s open today and tomorrow (last day!) from 11 a.m.- 7 p.m. at 631 N. Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
★ To celebrate Grey’s Anatomy reaching its milestone 15th season and tying E.R. as one of the longest-running hospital dramas on TV, Entertainment Weekly is featuring six special collectors covers with the cast of the show this week (on stands this Friday).
Check out the gorgeous cover Justin shares with costar Camilla Luddington below. The full-sized version can be seen in this album, where I’ll also be adding scans of the magazine when it’s out.
The other covers can be seen HERE. In addition, everyday until the Grey’s premiere on Sept. 27, EW will post more things as part of their special #7DaysofGreys series.
★ Along with the covers, EW also posted another photo of Justin and Camilla (can be seen in full size in this album) and there’s a quote from him about shooting the pilot episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
What’s cool about this is that Justin shot the pilot the last week of Sept. 2004, and 14 years later, in the last week of Sept. 2018, he’s on the cover of EW celebrating the show reaching its 15th season milestone.😎 Check out what he said below.

Chambers still remembers how he felt while shooting the Grey’s pilot. “Nerves, definitely nerves,” he recalls. “I was with all these other actors, I didn’t know anybody, and I was hoping the show would be a success and thank God it worked out.”
Luddington, who came much later, spent her first day “geeking out” in Meredith’s house “when I wasn’t supposed to be there. We weren’t even shooting and I just kind of crept on and investigated everything, because I was a fan of the show. So my first memories of being on set was even before we started filming anything and I was sneaking into Meredith’s house.”
★ EW posted the following two videos featuring the cast. In this first video, the cast talks about the show’s fans and there is some BTS footage from the cover shoot.
★ In this video, the cast has some fun taking EW’s “Which Grey’s Anatomy Character Are you?” quiz. You can take the quiz HERE.
★ ABC finally released the poster for season 15 of Grey’s Anatomy. Click on the image below to see the poster in full size.
★ Justin made another post on his Instagram account, and this time it’s about one of his best friends, Monte Hale. Check out the sweet caption he wrote.
Vacation is over, it’s September and that means the new season of Grey’s Anatomy is quickly approaching. Season 15 will have a two-hour premiere on September 27 at 8 p.m. on ABC (the premiere on Canada’s CTV channel will be on Sept. 26). Here are some photos and news about Justin’s return to work for season 15 of the show.
★ On July 28, Grey’s executive producer Debbie Allen hosted a luau-themed party at her home for the cast and crew of the show to kickoff season 15. A couple of photos of Justin at the party (second photo includes Justin’s co-star Kelly McCreary) were posted by Tsehay Driscoll. Click on the photos to see them in full size.
★ Camilla Luddington was interviewed by Us Weekly and she gave some tidbits about the beginning of season 15 for Alex and Jo.
“Jo and Alex are on their honeymoon in episode one, and Jo actually gets inspired and believes she may come up with a new medical innovation,” she told Us about season 15 of Grey’s Anatomy. “She feels like the person she would love to pursue with, because she loved doing things with her, is Meredith. So now she has to go back to Seattle and convince them to kind of do this with her.”
Luddington, 34, also added that she’s hoping the honeymoon stage continues with Jo and Alex (Justin Chambers), even when they’re back at work. “They’re affectionate with each other, they’re cheeky with each other, they’re playful. That’s what I love about them. There’s so much love and support there,” she shared. “They’ll be navigating being newlyweds this season.”
★ Speaking of Jo and Alex on their honeymoon, Justin and Camilla filmed those scenes with Debbie Allen directing them on location in Santa Monica Beach on August 20. Check out a few BTS photos in the album linked below and a video that was posted on social media:
★ In these last few days, Justin has been in his hometown (Springfield, Ohio) for a visit and he’s been popping up in different places and spotted around town. Last Saturday (June 30), he shopped at The Hustead School House Farm Market at Oak Dale Farms.
On Monday (July 2), he was at Ohio Valley Surgical Hospital and posed for photos with the staff which were posted on the hospital’s Facebook page (see below).
The hospital’s Marketing Market Strategy and Communications Manager, Kristin Davis, told local news source Springfield News-Sun that Justin “was so gracious and kind to everyone.” ☺
A few more photos from Justin’s time in Ohio were posted or retweeted on the site’s Twitter account. I’m not going to embed them all here, but I’ll post the links to the tweets: at the gym on July 1st (here and here), another photo at the Ohio Valley Surgical Hospital (here), and at a restaurant on July 4th (here).
★ I finally got around to making some screencaps of Justin’s appearance in the season 2 premiere of Swedish Dicks titled “A Thief Among Us,” and they can be seen at the following link:
I also uploaded a clip of the scene and it can be watched below.
★ It’s been quiet lately, so here are a couple of bonus pics from this past week. This first pic was taken by a fan on June 12 when Justin was in Jamaica on vacation.
★ Season 14 of Grey’s Anatomy has come to an end, and now we have to wait until September 2018 for season 15. Congratulations to the cast and crew of Grey’s on season 14, and best wishes to the very talented Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew.💜
ABC released 21 photos and 1 BTS photo from the season finale featuring Justin. They have all been added to the album linked below.
★ Many BTS photos from the season finale were posted last Thursday, and here are the ones that feature Justin.
Executive producer and director of the finale, Debbie Allen, took over the Grey’s Instagram account and posted these ones from the table read for the episode. It was the last one for Jessica and Sarah and for that reason it was an especially emotional one.
