Grey’s Anatomy fans will see the original characters in Season 19’s Interns

In the most upvoted reply of the thread, u/Original-Gear1583 seemed pretty confident that they had figured out who was who between the original crew and the new characters added in Season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy. “I think Simone is Mer, Jules is Izzie, Blue is Alex, Mika is Cristina, Lucas is George,” they claimed.

Although there have been differing opinions on who corresponded to whom in the past and present of Grey’s Anatomy, some viewers felt that the question required a little more nuance than direct one-to-one comparisons. “Honestly, I think these new interns have different aspects to the original five,” wrote u/MadilynnSienna.

The user went on to explain how they arrived at this more complex conclusion. “For example, I see Blue as both Cristina and Alex [depending on the scene],” they said. “Similarly, Lucas reminds me of George and [a few select times] Alex. I honestly can’t categorize any of them as just one of the OGs.”

Given what the Grey’s Anatomy writers have in store for the return of the interns in Season 19, it could actually go either way. However, whether they are intended as one-off spiritual successors to the original cast or as a fun blend of their unforgettable traits is ultimately up to fans.
