9-1-1: Nashville star Chris O’Donnell opens up about his hopes for a Grey’s Anatomy reunion on the hit drama series. The actor already stars with a co-stars, but he’s always down for a bigger reunion.

He continued, “Patrick [Dempsey] used to live in my neighborhood. I haven’t seen him in forever. Ellen [Pompeo]. Ellen’s still doing the show, I think, or at least part-time. It’s been, I think, what, 20, 25 years?”

O’Donnell appeared as veterinarian Dr. Finn Dandridge in several episodes of Season 2 and Season 3 of Grey’s Anatomy. At the time, Dandridge was introduced as a potential romantic interest for Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey after stepping into the series to help care for Doc, the lovable dog Meredith shared with Dempsey’s Derek Shepherd. While Finn was a fan-favorite part of Grey’s Anatomy for his short time on the show, the character took his exit once it became clear that Meredith and Derek were going to get back together in spite of all the issues in their relationship.

The show already features one of his former costars, Jessica Capshaw, who appeared in Grey’s Anatomy. They also worked together on the legal drama The Practice. “We, you know, overlapped on a couple different shows, which is a small world.”

What Do Critics and Audiences Think of 9-1-1: Nashville So Far?

Although early reviews of 9-1-1: Nashville are still sparse, reactions to the series so far have been overwhelmingly positive. As of the time of writing, 9-1-1: Nashville only holds three verified critical reviews via review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, though all three of them highlight the series as a strong and charming addition to the franchise that embraces the over-the-top storylines that the 9-1-1 brand is so well known for at this point in its lifespan.

Audiences have been far less kind to 9-1-1: Nashville than critics, however, with the series holding a mere 5.0/10 rating via IMDb, as averaged across nearly 900 reviews of the series. The show has yet to make its debut on streaming, and there are no ratings revealed yet. However, if it turns out to be as popular as the flagship series, a bigger Grey’s Anatomy reunion could happen.
