★ Grey’s Anatomy co-showrunner, Krista Vernoff, spoke to TV LINE about the upcoming 300th episode of the show (ep 14.07 titled “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story” airing Nov. 9th) and said that the feel of the episode will be nostalgia and the theme is ghosts of our past.
Of all the romances that have been sparked by Grey’s Anatomy, from Meredith and Derek’s to Callie and Arizona’s, one stands out as the greatest love of all: the relationship between the ABC drama and its audience. So it was with that in mind that recently-returned executive producer/co-showrunner Krista Vernoff sat down to come up with the script for the series’ milestone 300th episode. “I have written it,” she tells TVLine, “as a love letter to the fans who have been watching all 14 years.”
Although Vernoff’s goal now that she is once again Team Grey’s is to move the show forward, imbuing it with “more joy and more light and more humor,” the 300th episode is a special occasion, one on which it’s only appropriate to take a moment and look back. “If there is a feel to the episode,” she says, “it is nostalgia. And if there is a theme of the episode, it is the ghosts of our past.
“So I have found a way,” she continues, “to pay some small tribute to everyone who has been here before.”
