Jay Hayden speaks on the possibility of making an appearance onGrey’s Anatomyas hisStation 19character. Hayden is known for playing Travis Montgomery on the seriesStation 19, which began in 2018 andis aspinoff ofGrey’s Anatomy, following the lives of people who work in a firehouse in Seattle, Washington. The series included some crossover characters withGrey’s Anatomy, most notably featuring Dr. Ben Warren, who was played by Jason George. Ben’s wife Miranda Bailey, a belovedGrey’s Anatomycharacter, also made occasional appearances in the spinoff.
In an exclusive interview withScreen RantforFBI: International, Hayden spoke on whether he would be open to appearing onGrey’s Anatomy.Hayden noted that he will “always love that world,“particularly praisingGrey’s Anatomycreator Shonda Rhimes. As for returning to play Travis, Hayden seemed very open to the prospect overall, saying he would “always get back there.” Check out the full quote from Hayden below:
I will always love that world. I will always love Shonda and Shondaland. They know they can always call me. I’ll always get back there. I really love playing Travis, and I worked really hard at creating that character, and I enjoyed every day of doing it. So that door’s never closed.It’s all just, “When would you like me to show up?”
What This Means For The Grey’s Anatomy Universe
Station 19 Ended This Year
Referenced briefly in this interview is the fact thatStation 19has now concluded.Station 19was canceled after seven seasons, airing its last episode in May 2024. Though there has been a campaign by fans to bring the series back, the return ofStation 19has not been confirmed. However,Grey’s Anatomyoffers a possibility forStation 19characters to return again. The fact that Hayden is willing to do so is a good sign that theStation 19season 7 finalemay not have been the end for Travis.
Station 19andGrey’s Anatomyhad many crossovers over their dual tenure, soit is conceivable that the long-running medical series would want to bring in characters like Travis. However, the focus of these crossovers has primarily seen characters that originated inGrey’s Anatomycoming over toStation 19, rather than the other way around. Including Travis infutureGrey’s Anatomyseasonswould be an interesting disruption of this precedent for the Shondaland shows.
Our Take On A Potential Travis Crossover
This Could Be Strategically Wise For Grey’s Anatomy
As of now, ABC has not announced the return ofStation 19, despite the fan campaigning. The reaction from the show’s audience shows, however, thatfans are hungry for moreStation 19-related content. As such, I think including a character like Travis inGrey’s Anatomycould be a great way to appease the fan base without having to completely resuscitateStation 19. Whether theGrey’s team actually does so is a different story, but it is an appealing hypothetical.
