In the thread’s top-voted answer, u/Original-Gear1583 seemed pretty confident that they’ve analyzed who’s who between the original crew and the new characters that were added in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ season 19. . “I think Simone is Mer, Jules is Izzie, Blue is Alex, Mika is Cristina, Lucas is George,” they claimed.
However, while there were other opinions about who was analogous to whom in “Grey’s Anatomy” past and present, some viewers thought the question required a bit more nuance than direct comparisons. “Honestly, I think there are different aspects of the original five in these new trainees,” u/MadilynnSienna wrote.
The user then explained how he came to this more complex conclusion. “For example, I see Blue as both Cristina and Alex [depending on the scene],” they said. “Likewise, Lucas reminds me of George and [a few select times] Alex. I honestly can’t pin any of them to just one of the OGs.
When you consider what the writers of “Grey’s Anatomy” were looking for with the return of the trainees in Season 19, it could really go either way. Still, whether they’re meant to be unique spiritual successors to the original cast members or a fun amalgamation of their memorable mix-and-match traits is ultimately up to fans to decide.
