A THREAD OF REALISTIC THINGS THAT SHOULD HAPPEN/CHANGE ON SEASON 17 OF GREYS ANATOMY.

1.) we need INTERESTING MEDICAL CASES FROM DEPARTMENTS OTHER THAN GENERAL SURGERY. all the medical storylines lately are really predictable and boring gen. surg. cases. no more hernia repairs, no more cholecystectomies, give me the good rare cases like in the earlier seasons.
2.) we need MORE BENLEY SCREENTIME ON GREYS. they are the only happily married couple and they deserve better. last season when they lost their child, the writers could’ve taken the time to further explore their relationship but they just glossed over the trauma instead.
3.) we need MEREDITH STORYLINES THAT DONT INVOLVE FREAK ACCIDENTS, BREAKING THE LAW, OR MEN. the only person she got lots of screentime with last season was deluca. instead they should take the time to reflect on her past and how it has shaped her into the person she is today.
4.) we need AMELIA AND LINK TO DEVELOP AS A FAMILY WITHOUT OWEN BEING INVOLVED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. krista i will never forgive you for pulling that baby daddy storyline on us. her pregnancy should’ve been about her dealing with the trauma of her last pregnancy.
5.) we need MAGGIE TO GET WELL WRITTEN AND DEVELOPED STORYLINES THAT DONT RELY ON OTHER CHARACTERS. when she got sued after sabie died, they completely glossed over that storyline too instead of exploring it. we also need maggie and winston endgame it’s what she deserves.
6.) we need RICHARD AND CATHERINE TO FIGURE THEIR CRAP OUT. i want to have hope for them but i don’t know what direction their relationship is going in at this point.
7.) we need RESIDENTS AND ATTENDINGS TO ESTABLISH MORE MENTORSHIP RELATIONSHIPS. the residents just jump from specialty to specialty every episode instead of narrowing in on one specialty for a while.
8.) we need LINK TO GET HIS OWN PERSONAL STORYLINE ARC SO WE CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM. he is a really good character but i feel like there’s so much about him that we haven’t learned about yet, and he deserves a good storyline.
9.) we need ANDREW TO GET A WELL WRITTEN MENTAL HEALTH STORYLINE. there’s so much that can be explored about him in detail and there’s a lot that they can uncover.
11.) we need A PRIVATE PRACTICE REUNION. i hate how hesitant the writers are to mention people from amelia’s past just because some people haven’t watched pp and it would be confusing for them. enough people have watched it by now and we need a reunion.
12.) we need THE RESIDENTS TO GET STORYLINES ACTUALLY RELATED TO THEIR CAREERS. i feel like i can’t take any of them seriously because they’re portrayed as careless and incompetent. they just kinda float around in the background and are used as filler.
13.) we need OWEN TO GET HIS ASS BACK TO THERAPY AND STAY THERE FOR MORE THAN ONE EPISODE. they could’ve made that a good storyline for him back in season 15 but they just completely forgot about it after he went once.
14.) we need INTERESTING PATIENT STORYLINES THAT LAST FOR MORE THAN ONE EPISODE. all the patients recently have been so bland and boring. their surgery always turns out fine with no complications...and that’s it. we need a storylines like nicole herman and her tumor in season 11.
15.) we need JACKSON TO GET A STORYLINE LITERALLY IT CAN BE ANYTHING. he got like zero storylines next season, and we didn’t even get to see him be a dad with harriet. ever since april left they’ve just used him as a side character.
16.) we need JO TO GET A STORYLINE RELATED TO HER CAREER. i feel like everyone talks about how good of a doctor she is but we never get to see it. last season she was just assisting on like every case, and i don’t even know what happened with her fellowship.
17.) we need SOMEONE TO START A CLINICAL TRIAL OR ANOTHER INNOVATION CONTEST OR SOMETHING. i want to see them actually be passionate about their careers.
18.) we need MORE FRIENDSHIPS IN GENERAL. everyone last season was so miserable and it seems like everyone hated each other, so i want to see them work together on cases and be friends outside of work too.
