Actor Jason George (known to fans as Dr. Ben Warren) became one of the latest actors to spark speculation about their departure when it was announced he would not be returning to Grey's Anatomy for season 14. However, while George was leaving Grey's Anatomy, he was to stay firmly in Shondaland, joining the Grey's spinoff Station 19 as a series regular (via Variety).
Warren first joined the show as a recurring character in season 6 before becoming a series regular in season 12 (via E! News). During those years, fans had the opportunity to watch Ben's relationship with Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) evolve and grow. The two first met when Ben was still an anesthesiologist with Mercy West, and while it wasn't quite love at first sight, season 10 of Grey's saw the two getting married — despite Ben's decision the previous season to accept a residency at UCLA (via Bustle).
The trials and tribulations for Ben and Bailey would (spoiler) continue — particularly once Ben made the decision to become a firefighter. Fortunately, the crossovers between Grey's and Station 19 are frequent (via TV Insider), so it's possible for the two fictional characters to make it work; unfortunately, they still exist in the Shondaland universe, which means a life-threatening bear attack could always be around the corner (via Entertainment Weekly).
