There are some shows in TV history that will just go down in our hearts forever as being some of the “great ones.” While every generation has their own version of these shows, there are some we can all unanimously agree that are just incredibly TV writing and production. For me, “One Tree Hill,” will always be in this category. While it’s more of a teen drama, the situations and the storylines were very much real and “adult-ly.” Next up for me? Obviously “Grey’s Anatomy.” I was pretty late in the game to catch up on the Grey’s train, but when I did, I couldn’t stop. I’m sure most people can agree.
That’s why I absolutely lost my sh*t when I heard that a fan favorite character of OTH was joining the cast of Grey’s this season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bethany Joy Lenz will be coming to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. For all you newbs – Bethany Joy Lenz played Haley James Scott in OTH. The Hollywood Reporter claims:
Lenz joins Grey’s as the Ellen Pompeo drama is approaching its 300th episode and as it continues to replenish its cast. The drama last season said farewell to series regular Jerrika Hinton (Stephanie), while Jason George (Ben) is also poised to transition to the upcoming Grey’sfirefighter spinoff later this season. The drama, which welcomed back Krista Vernoff as co-showrunner (after her run in seasons one through seven), also recently introduced six new interns as the veteran drama looks to repopulate its ranks.
Excuse me while I fangirl hard. As an avid fan of OTH, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the actors on the show go on to do mainstream TV that I watch as often or as much as OTH. I’m super f*cking hyped. And, I’m not the only one.
