Grey's Anatomy Season 22 Anticipates Major Character Deaths After Explosion

Grey's Anatomy season 21 ended with a dramatic explosion in the operating room caused by an oxygen tank mishap, leaving the fate of many characters uncertain as season 22 begins. The show's cast has described the premiere as "deadly," "breathtaking," and "jaw-dropping," fueling speculation that key characters may not survive. While Link was initially thought to be in grave danger, theories now suggest that Richard Webber's death would have a greater emotional impact, especially given his close relationships with several main characters. New photos and promos confirm that characters like Meredith Grey, Owen Hunt, Teddy Altman, and others are safe, but the showrunner Meg Marinis has emphasized that no one is guaranteed to survive due to the cliffhanger nature of the explosion. The show’s creative team remains tight-lipped about exact casualties, but it is clear that season 22 will feature significant character losses to keep the story fresh and impactful. These developments maintain Grey's Anatomy's reputation for shocking twists and emotionally charged storytelling.
