[There are spoilers ahead for last nights Grey's Anatomy. If youre not caught up, dont keep reading! I warned you.]

Last nights Greys picked up exactly where any good mid-season premiere should: In the middle of a crisis, with half the characters in a state of this is life or death. Thankfully, everyone survived, but some of the characters who *did* survive were seemingly...random? And people no one had ever heard of before?

Im talking specifically about Blake and Brody, two people whose names I had heard so few times that I had to google them while watching. Last night, Blake got an entirely new face while Brody was seriously bruised in the face department. It felt like we as audience members were really supposed to care about them, but its hard to care when you have no idea who they are! I wasnt the only one who felt that way.

If youre a Greys fan account and you have to remind people who a character is, thats a problem!

As a quick refresher, Blake is Blake Simms, who is Tom Koracicks protg or something. Truly, never heard of him! He came from Johns Hopkins with Tom, and has apparently been hanging out at Grey Sloan ever since?? IDK.

And apparently, Brody is Hannah Brody, this girl...

Shes been a resident with DeLucas class since the beginning, which, who knew!!

This isnt to shade any of these characters, obviously. Greys has always been an ensemble show, but its a little jarring when people who were very minor characters before are now treated like major characters. Either way, happy they both survived!
