★ We had already heard a few months ago that Lindsay Wagner would reprise her role as Alex’s mom, Helen Karev, and this week Entertainment Tonight revealed that we’ll be seeing her in episode 15.15 (slated to air on Feb. 28th), which is the special milestone episode that will make Grey’s Anatomy the longest-running primetime medical drama.
And to make things even better, Lindsay posted this BTS pic of herself on set with Justin.

★ ET also aired this segment on Thursday for the midseason premiere of Grey’s. It’s about some of the “secrets” behind the show, and Justin makes an appearance where he talks about how the original pilot was shot without Alex Karev.

 
★ Lastly, Michael Ausiello (President and Editorial Director of TVLine) was on the set of the show when the cast was doing press last week, and he got Justin and Camilla Luddington to send this nice video message to his niece, Lauren. Check it out:

★ Filming on season 15 of Grey’s Anatomy resumed this past week and with that the show hit a major milestone. They are currently filming episode 15.15, which is the 332nd episode. Why is that a big deal? Well, the longest-running primetime medical drama was ER (aired on NBC from 1994-2009) which ended its run with 331 episodes. At 332 episodes, Grey’s Anatomy is now the longest-running primetime medical drama! A huge congratulations to Justin and the rest of the cast and crew of Grey’s on this amazing achievement! 👏🎉🍾🥂❤️

On Thursday (Jan. 10), the cast was interviewed on the set about this milestone. I don’t know the air dates for the interviews, but I’ll post them here when I do know. In the meantime, here are a two photos of Justin and Camilla Luddington posted by the ABC news team that interviewed them: journalists Juju Chang and Galia Sotomayor, and producer Derick Yanehiro. The full-sized photos can be seen in the BTS album linked below.

★ On Friday (Jan. 11), Justin and Camilla filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles and she posted this photo (IG story) of him encouraging her to walk under the ladder, but looks like she’s superstitious. 😄 Full-sized photo also in the BTS album.

 
★ Lastly, Grey’s is back next Thursday, January 17th. Check out below the extended promo for the midseason premiere titled “Shelter From the Storm.”

These were a few moments of Justin’s 2018 (click on pic for full-sized). Here’s to 2019! Happy New Year! ✨❤️🥂

We’re nearing the end of the year and there isn’t much news to report, but there are several photos and even video of Justin spreading some holiday cheer where ever he goes. I thought the kindness and positivity of the following posts would be a nice way to wrap 2018 and head into 2019.💖

 
On December 23rd, Justin got lost on his way to spend Christmas with his family in Ohio, and the lucky folks of Shelbyville, Indiana got a nice surprise when he made a stop there. There were several posts from people who got a photo with Justin but here are a few with more detailed captions taken at a local bar named Capone’s Downtown Speakeasy.

 
On December 26th, another flight attendant met Justin and got some nice photos and a sweet video shout-out for her dad that is a must-see. Swipe (or click) to see the photos and the video (3rd post) or watch the video HERE with a transcription. (“we’re all a work in progress” 👍)

 
And on Friday, December 28th, he stopped by a tanning salon in Guilford, Connecticut.

ABC finally announced the midseason premiere dates and Grey’s Anatomy’s will return on Thursday, January 17th at the usual time of 8pm.

When it comes to the Grey’s production schedule, the last filming day of 2018 was last Friday (Dec. 14) and the cast and crew is now enjoying their holiday break until early January.

As to our favorite cast member, Justin caught a flight out of Los Angeles over the weekend, and a flight attendant made an Instagram post about meeting him. It’s a nice post for the holiday season, and I’d definitely say it was a sweet early Christmas gift for her! Check out what she said about below. ✨🎄🎁

Justin made a new Instagram post and the caption pretty much explains it all. In this old Justin² photo, he was standing in front of himself on a Calvin Klein billboard.
