It was announced this week that Grey’s Anatomy star Jason George would be leaving the show to star on its upcoming spinoff, a firefighter-focused series that will see George reprise his role of Dr. Ben Warren.
The series will serve as an offshoot of the popular ABC medical drama, and George will continue as a series regular on Season 14 of Grey’s until production on the spinoff begins, The Hollywood Reporter shares.

What about Benley?
Others expressed their concerns that Ben’s move would result in the end of his relationship with Bailey (Chandra Wilson).
I hope Ben’s transition to the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff doesn’t mean Benley will break up tho ? @JasonWGeorge
