Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em><\/a> may not have ended season 22 with the usual surprise twists \u2014 but doesn\u2019t mean more<\/a> won\u2019t be coming soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll always have to wait to see who shows up in season 23,\u201d showrunner Meg Marinis<\/strong> told Deadline<\/em><\/a> on Thursday, May 7.<\/p>\n

Marinis acknowledged that the season 22 finale had fewer cast members returning than usual, explaining that the choice wasn\u2019t intentional. \u201cWhen we realized that we needed to exit two characters, we wanted to spend the most time on the characters that we have currently,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The executive producer was specifically asked<\/a> about the lack of screen time dedicated to the new interns.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Grey\u2019s Anatomy season 22 finale pulled off several cast exits, a proposal, several possible breakups and more surprise twists. During the Thursday, May 7, episode of the hit ABC series, Owen (Kevin McKidd) was involved in a bridge collapse that made him and Teddy (Kim Raver) reconsider their future together. Owen survived \u2014 and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019d love to see them come back. They really were fun characters to interact with ours,\u201d she replied. \u201cI think just in the last two episodes, we had a lot of creative ground to cover with our regulars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The medical drama, which premiered in 2005, is focused on the personal and professional lives<\/a> of surgical interns, residents and attendings at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly known as Seattle Grace and Seattle Grace Mercy West).<\/p>\n

Over the years, Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> has become known<\/a> for its wild twists and outrageous deaths that often result in cast exits. Cost-cutting efforts, however, have been affecting scripted TV across the board recently as more shows continue to reduce screen time for main cast members.<\/p>\n

During Thursday\u2019s season 22 finale, Owen (Kevin McKidd<\/strong>) and Teddy (Kim Raver<\/strong>) left the hospital to move to Paris. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo<\/strong>), meanwhile, proposed to Nick (Scott Speedman) after a near-death experience.<\/p>\n

When it comes to a possible onscreen wedding for the couple, Marinis told Deadline, \u201cIt will depend on if [Scott\u2019s show] R.J. Decker goes, and I hope it does for Scott. But he was so game, he flew in on a Friday, we filmed on a Saturday, and we worked it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cHe was being part of the Grey\u2019s family. And so we\u2019ll just have to figure out if we can plan in advance with the other show and work it out again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marinis also didn\u2019t rule out more exits<\/a> after Kwan (Harry Shum Jr<\/strong>.) was officially fired.<\/p>\n
