Grey's Anatomy: Behind the scenes related scoop on the 300th episode (Episode 14x07 "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story") from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Grey's Anatomy from this week's (Posted on 11/17/17) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Next time you talk to Krista Vernoff, can you ask her why, in Grey’s Anatomy‘s 300th episode, we never got to actually see Ben lower the boom on Bailey with regard to his big career change? It seemed odd that such a huge moment was played off screen. —Diane
Ausiello: “Because the audience was ahead of Bailey,” Vernoff explains, “and when it came time for me to write that scene, every way I tried to write it it felt like old news. And I thought the more interesting piece of that story was the fallout.” (For more Grey’s scoop, scroll down to This AAnd That.)

♦ The big (unfortunately telegraphed) Kate Burton cameo in Grey’s Anatomy‘s 300th episode almost didn’t happen. According to co-showrunner Krista Vernoff, “I originally pitched [Shonda Rhimes] the idea of superimposing [old footage] of Ellis into the O.R. and show her standing next to Meredith.” But Rhimes promptly told her to go out and get the real thing, a request Vernoff was more than happy to grant. “Actually bringing the actress” made it so much more powerful, she notes. (Totally agree.)
