Ellen Pompeo – CONFIRMED ALIVE + DEAL IN PLACE FOR SEASON 22

Jason George – CONFIRMED ALIVE FOR SEASON 22
Jason George‘s Warren is confirmed to be safe following the explosion, though he did run back to the building after seeing it explode.
“We did see Warren running back into the building [from outside]. We saw Jo outside the building, but we didn’t see her leave, so it just depends on what exit she took, I guess,” Meg told THR.
She also told Variety, “He was outside the hospital when that explosion went off, so we know he’s alive. But he doesn’t have a job, so he’s going through an emotional explosion. What we wanted to see for him coming back was that it wasn’t going to be as easy as he assumed, and also the difficulty of having to work side-by-side with your wife who is in a position of authority over you. I think they were able to navigate that fairly well. There were a few bumps in the road, but we wanted to tell a story where Ben did not want to ask for special treatment from Bailey.”
