Reunion at the Emmys: Katherine Heigl appeared on stage with her “Grey’s Anatomy” colleagues for the first time in 14 years.
In a glamorous scarlet gown, Heigl presented the award for best supporting actor in a miniseries on Monday evening (January 15th) together with Chandra Wilson (54), Ellen Pompeo (54), Justin Chambers (53) and James Pickens Jr. (69). or a television film.
“Wouldn’t be possible without all of you”
But first the five said a few words about “Grey’s Anatomy”: “I think when the first episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ aired in March 2005, Shonda Rhimes had no idea that she had created a show that would have a lasting influence on television and create lifelong friendships,” said Ellen Pompeo, who played Dr. Meredith Gray embodied.
Justin Chambers, who starred in the series from 2005 to 2019 as Dr. Alex Karev said that the show, with its more than 400 episodes, had become a “tribute to everyone who is part of our family.” “Even though there have been some changes over the years,” added Heigl, who played the role of Dr. from 2005 to 2010. Izzie Stevens played, added. The one thing that remains constant is “the incredible fan base” of the series.
“You’ve been through plane crashes, epic storms, earthquakes and a global pandemic with us,” said Chandra Wilson, who has played Dr. Miranda Bailey plays. “With the start of our 20th season, we are officially the longest-running medical series in TV history.” “And that wouldn’t be possible without all of you,” said James Pickens Jr., who has played Dr. since the first episode. Richard Webber impersonated and stood arm in arm with Katherine Heigl on the Emmy stage.
Former colleagues mean a lot to Katherine Heigl
In an interview with the US magazine “People” Katherine Heigl explained on the red carpet that the reunion with her former colleagues was a “weird, nostalgic trip into the past.” Although she hasn’t seen some of them in years, the former co-stars are “people who mean a lot to me,” said Heigl. “I miss her, so it’s very nice,” she added.
