WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
We're more fortunate than some other actor is not only is the

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.400
crew in full PPE but we are as well because we get to play

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.900
doctors. So once again, we are really in this unbelievable

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:15.000
sweet spot as we always are with the show somehow and I also

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.100
take as a company.

00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:20.100
We are very very aware of taking care of each other that's

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:25.000
really important to all of us so that this entire production

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.200
can have a job right now.

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.300
Not only are we in scenes that they have been written in order

00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:44.900
to keep us safe.

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:51.400
But our production goal all around is to be safe here as well.

00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:55.600
As you know, when we go home all of our stand-ins all of our

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.700
extras. We've had them basically for the season which has his

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:04.900
three times a week and we have all of our protocol so it's very

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:08.600
different but we are still getting great work done.

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:12.600
We just have to adjust the universe is changing all the time.

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:17.400
So this is this is a big change but we are are are meeting

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:18.300
all the challenges.

00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:22.000
I would say and feeling very confident about finishing

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.200
our season on time.

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.000
We were all living through a pandemic and usually Grey's Anatomy

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.500
is a certain amount of escapism never leave a writer alone

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:42.800
for that many months inside her own head back and do it tonight.

00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:46.000
I gather the writers and I said you guys I think we're not going

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:46.300
to do it.

00:01:46.300 --> 00:01:47.800
I think we need some escapism.

00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:52.000
I went on at some length about why and then I said who wants

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.900
to be brave and convince me that I'm wrong.

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:56.900
There were three right three doctors in a row.

00:01:56.900 --> 00:02:02.100
They are changed by covet and Nasser Al azhari who's been working

00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:04.500
with covid-19 through the whole thing while I've been at home

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:08.000
Thinking Inside My Head said, this is permanently changing

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.200
medicine. It's the biggest medical story of our lifetimes

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:15.300
and it's it's you know, when it's the biggest medical show and

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:16.900
it's a shame not to do it.

00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:19.500
We owe it to the medical community and the Frontline workers

00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:21.800
to tell these stories and I was like

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.400
But it became my job to make sure that we had exciting.

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:40.100
You know, I call it fan candy fun things that aren't just about

00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:44.300
PPE in the pandemic and to let you breathe and to let you laugh

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.500
and and week we've come up with some really fun creative

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:51.400
ways to do that that's feel the complement of the show that

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:56.900
we are able to be Comfort to Generations basically of of people

00:02:56.900 --> 00:03:00.700
that they go to and I can't watch one episode they have to Ben

00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:04.400
and that's you know, that's the only way that you watch Grey's Anatomy

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.100
now on on a bench and that's that's that's pretty

00:03:08.100 --> 00:03:10.700
amazing history to have been a part of
