In a new interview, Shonda Rhimes explained what she looks for in creating a spinoff and revealed some ideas that never materialized.
“On Grey’s, there were a bunch,” Rhimes told Entertainment Weekly. “I felt like we could have done Chicago Anatomy, Boston. We could have done that. It just didn’t appeal to me to rebuild the same world. And then we thought about a lot of things.”
Rhimes noted that she thought there was an idea with Caterina Scorsone’s character Amelia, Derek’s (Patrick Dempsey) sister.
“I thought that there could be a spinoff with Amelia that was the Shepherd sisters,” she said. “They’re all doctors. It could have been a Shepherd sisters show, which would’ve been very interesting.”
