Maybe the elevator in Grey’s Anatomy is actually a character

There’s something about Grey’s Anatomy that I’ve started noticing more and more over time: the hospital elevator feels like more than just a place people pass through. In a way, it’s a character of its own.

The hospital is almost always chaos. People running through the halls, surgeries going wrong, patients dying, relationships falling apart, someone finding out something that changes their entire life. It feels like there’s never really a moment to stop.

But then they get into the elevator.

And for a few seconds, everything changes.

It doesn’t matter what’s happening outside. Inside that small space, there seems to be a pause. It’s where characters who spent the entire episode trying to be strong finally let their guard down. Where difficult conversations happen. Where someone stays quiet because they simply don’t know what to say anymore. Sometimes they walk in overwhelmed and walk out more determined. Other times, they just… breathe.

And I love that it’s an elevator.

A place that should technically be nothing more than a way to get from one floor to another somehow becomes one of the few places where these characters can simply be.

Maybe that’s why so many elevator scenes in Grey’s feel different. For a few seconds, nobody is operating, saving a life, or trying to fix something. They’re just there. Human. Tired, scared, in love, heartbroken.

And maybe we all have an “elevator” in our own lives.

Somewhere, someone, or even just a small moment of time where we can finally breathe before stepping back into the chaos.

Grey’s Anatomy may be about doctors, surgeries, and tragedy. But sometimes, the moments that stay with me the most are the ones where nobody is doing anything extraordinary.

They’re just trying to keep going.

And maybe that’s what makes the elevator such an important character in the story.

How the f**** is it possible to be such an ASSHOLE that in the short amount of time that your girlfriend has her mother come out of alzheimers, say she's not special enough, fall back into alzheimers, the girlfriend becomes so numb she lets herself drown, her mother DIES, she is forced to interact with her IMMATURE LONG LOST DAD and his wife, forms a bond with the wife, the wife DIES TOO (?!?!?!?!?), DAD ACCUSES HER OF KILLING.THE.WIFE., INTERN EXAM IS ON, and YOU COME UP WITH THIS BULLSHIT THAT SHE'S LETTING YOU DOWN AND SHOULD BE WORRIED THAT YOU LOOKED AT ANOTHER WOMAN????????????????

??????????????????????????

What THE

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK

I saw it couple days ago and still can't let it go. 😢

This was funny but technically George wasn’t crossing the street he pushed someone out of the way at a bus stop. (My thing is that if they were at a bus stop he did the bus hit George so badly. And they said the bus dragged him so the bus hit him and just kept going. There must have been more to the story like maybe the bus driver passed out or something)

If Derek hadn't died, what do you think they would have named their youngest child? Because I can't see a world in which Derek agrees to Ellis, and I think baby names need a yes from both parents.

I am re watching the show yet again and i am again ENRAGED BY how sly and disgusting it was for yang and SHANE to speak to Meredith the way that they did. Specially after Meredith said explicitly to ask the board first and vote. If the same situation was vice versa, if the printer has been yang's, she would've given Meredith a mouthful of how she is jealous or not supporting or a load of crap.

Upon re-watching the series multiple times, I have to say, yang is so selfish. She is talented ofcourse but she is not god and her character while funny at times is also infuriating.

How said is this episode before I get into deep

No início do episódio elis grey diz que se arrepende de ter tido a meredith na frente dela, ela estava em surto por richard ter a deixado para ficar com a adele e a meredith tenta explicar que isso aconteceu há muitos anos.. quando a elis diz que se arrepende de tê-la ela não reconheceu que estava falando com a própria filha.. essa cena em si já me deixou muito apreensiva (mesmo não sendo a primeira vez que assisto).

Mas esse final.. ainda mais com a questão da parte onde a meredith vê a família do pai toda unida e funcional.. sua madrasta tratando a irmã dela com todo carinho..

E no fim do episódio meredith vê a mãe em surto novamente falando do richard e resolve abraçá-la.. e nesse abraço elis reconheceu sua filha😪😭

GREYS ANATOMY SABIA ENTREGAR UM BOM EPISÓDIO COM UM BOM ENREDO.. EU SINTO FALTA DISSO!

I think it is episode 4-2; it's where Lexie is going through all of the files in the Chief's office and specifically all of the MAGIC interns applications. She mentions that Cristina is dyslexic. I've never caught it before and I wish it was something that they could have explored more for her character development.

Outside a writing glitch - do you think either:

1. Cristina lied on her application to make herself a more appealing candidate - like Alex did?

2. She didn't lie but she's too proud to admit it and it's why she works as hard as she does to overcome it and not let it hold her back?

Let’s face it this show has been repeating storylines for like 10+ years now. We’ve seen the secret sibling bullshit happen to Meredith 3 times now (Molly, Lexie and Maggie) then it happened with Owen and his sister Megan. So them doing it again isn’t a stretch to the imagination but if they HAVE to do it again why not make it Meredith’s brother? Like Thather had a kid from either before Ellis or me after Ellis and before he meant Susan. Or they can just say he had an affair and cheated on one of them (which again is the most repeated storyline in this show). I’m saying brother because it would bring a new dynamic to the show. He doesn’t even have to be doctor he could be a lawyer or whatever. Thoughts?

This isn’t meant to be taken seriously it’s kinda half joking/I could see them pulling this soap opera level shit

Do you think they’d be nervous - izzie because of all the old faces and alex because of Jo? Do you think they would’ve been in touch with Meredith? How do you think Jo would react finally seeing Alex and meeting Izzie? Do you think Bailey missed Izzie?

I think Alex might be protective of Izzie when she returns as it must be difficult considering she was last fired. But also I can imagine the whole Jo thing being a mindfuck for both of them too. It would be fun to see how he reacts to Link and Jo together.

Lots and lots of questions and hypotheticals…

I'm rewatching and around season 12 suddenly you can tell that about one line every scene is a voice over or rerecording and it's driving me crazy. This was not the case in earlier seasons, where you'd go whole seasons without an obviously redone line.

Also around this time there's multiple episodes every season where someone (mostly Meredith) sounds like they've lost their voice. Was there health problems or were they just constantly getting strep?

Does Catherine ever get less annoying? She’s always annoyed me a little bit but im in season 20 right now and she’s actually unbearable.like I know it is just a show but the fight with Meredith and Catherine is so frustrating to watch

I'm rewatching Grey's Anatomy for the umpteenth time, and I love Cristina as a bartender. She is just hilarious.

I’ve done two rewatches of the show (up to season 11 on the second) before stopping. And I’ve been wondering. If the hospital and its staff existed in the real world, how soon would the hospital be shut down and its staff fired, arrested or have their licenses revoked? Who would be punished first and who would receive the worst punishment/consequences?

Basically, what if Grey’s Anatomy took place in the real world?

When children are born, they don’t have any sense of themselves. They have no clear sense of their own existence yet. Their certainty of their own existence develops over time and is reinforced by their parents.

So when a child’s needs aren’t met or they’re neglected, they struggle to confirm their own existence. They develop this feeling of non-existence instead. ‘My parents don’t see me, therefore I don’t exist’. They go on to ignore their own needs or put themselves in risky situations. I’m paraphrasing it a bit, but that’s the basic psychology.

That’s why fetus Mer is the way she is. It’s why she sleeps her way through Europe and takes crazy risks. It’s why she’llstick her hand on a bomb or stop swimmingbecause if she doesn't fully exist, then what’s stopping her? She doesn’t exist to Ellis, because surgery is her true love. And she doesn’t exist to Thatcher, because he’s either useless (amongst other things).

I get that some people find her annoying or dramatic or nonsensical. But she makes perfect sense if you’ve experienced a similar childhood.

Sorry if this was covered before… but this is definable and error. Arizona had already lost her leg but not in this scene lol

I'm apparently one of those rare people that remembers their dreams vividly and for a long time too. I can't recall all of them but I remember dreams I had as a child, like from when I was like 8 😄

I've been having some medical issues and I dreamt about Cristina. We were friends and I went to her for advice and she examined me and that's all imma say about that before I get in trouble 😅😅
