The show\u2019s 18th season began airing in September.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kim Raver stood<\/strong>&nbsp;on the&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>&nbsp;set for the first time since the medical drama halted production in March 2020. She was clad in full PPE\u2014not just a mask and scrubs, but a heavy personal respirator hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weight of the hood, the way it muffled the sounds around her, helped her immerse herself in her character\u2019s experience. It also compounded the emotional weight of the scenes she was about to start filming for the show\u2019s 17th season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As her character on the Shonda Rhimes ABC medical drama, cardiothoracic surgeon Teddy Altman, she was about to embark on a story line in which the show\u2019s Seattle hospital was being ravaged by the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>&nbsp;began filming in September 2020\u2014six months after production on its previous season abruptly shut down\u2014the worldwide death toll from COVID-19 had climbed to almost 1 million. The show\u2019s writers felt it was their duty to incorporate the global pandemic into the new season\u2019s plot. As showrunner Krista Vernoff (\u201993) told&nbsp;<em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, \u201cTo be the biggest medical show and ignore the biggest medical story of the century felt irresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2021\/06\/Raver-Greys-Anatomy-684x1024-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Kim Raver CFA Magazine\" class=\"wp-image-79951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2021\/06\/Raver-Greys-Anatomy-684x1024-1.jpeg 684w, https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2021\/06\/Raver-Greys-Anatomy-684x1024-1-425x636.jpeg 425w, https:\/\/id-andrea.cms-devl.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2021\/06\/Raver-Greys-Anatomy-684x1024-1-668x1000.jpeg 668w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><figcaption>Raver has filmed many scenes in full PPE on Grey\u2019s Anatomy. She says the medical drama\u2019s cast and crew have viewed the show as a platform to showcase and honor the work of healthcare professionals during the pandemic. \u00a9 2020 American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Raver (\u201991) was struck by the experience of filming scenes that echoed what she had watched play out in the months the show was on break. The first episode of the new season found the&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;doctors dealing with PPE (personal protective equipment) shortages and navigating a hospital overcrowded with COVID patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so strange to be telling a story that we\u2019re universally going through in the moment,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ll be doing a scene, and then after I take off whatever costume I\u2019m wearing, there\u2019s this feeling of, \u2018Oh my gosh, we\u2019re still in it.\u2019 There\u2019s no separation. Usually, we\u2019re telling a medical story that people can understand emotionally, but that they aren\u2019t actually going through.\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/abc.com\/shows\/greys-anatomy\/cast\/kim-raver\">Raver<\/a>&nbsp;says the cast and crew were united by a desire to use the show as a platform to honor the arduous efforts of healthcare workers during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just feel really grateful to be able to tell these stories, especially when I see what our frontline workers are actually having to go through,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019re in a time where there\u2019s enormous loss and grief, and you feel like you have a purpose in telling them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Stories Within Stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>&nbsp;was one of the first major network shows to announce it was pausing filming due to the spread of COVID-19, cutting its 16th season short by four episodes in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was this shock of shutting down,\u201d says Raver. \u201cBefore, it felt like nothing could shut us down\u2014we just kept going no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as the astonishment wore off, the show\u2019s cast and crew jumped into action to help real-life healthcare workers. The props department donated the gowns and gloves they had on hand for filming when PPE shortages were a major problem in hospitals around the country. On National Doctors\u2019 Day\u2014March 30\u2014Raver and other cast members&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tv\/greys-anatomy-cast-thanks-healthcare-workers-on-national-doctors-day-you-are-the-true-heroes\/\">appeared in a social media video<\/a>&nbsp;to thank the medical professionals fighting the virus on the front lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rallying effort reminded Raver of another striking moment in her career when her craft and the harsh reality of life merged. In 2001, she was filming the NBC drama&nbsp;<em>Third Watch<\/em>, about New York City firefighters, paramedics, and police officers, when the September 11 attacks occurred. Many of the first responders the show consulted with went to assist at Ground Zero. And, just as&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>&nbsp;donated PPE to hospitals, the show quickly organized to send equipment, including microphones, lights, and a working fire truck it used in scenes, to the emergency services in the days following the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just wanted to help in any way we could,\u201d says Raver, who played paramedic Kim Zambrano on the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Third Watch<\/em>&nbsp;opened its third season on October 15, 2001, with a two-hour special documentary featuring real-life first responders sharing their experiences in the aftermath of September 11. The season also went on to address the horrific events of that day and its impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"474\" height=\"636\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2022\/10\/Raver-BPGMC4-474x636-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94153\"\/><figcaption>Raver (pictured with costar Bobby Cannavale) played paramedic Kim Zambrano on Third Watch, about New York City firefighters, paramedics, and police officers.

AF archive\/Alamy Stock Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In one episode, Raver\u2019s character runs to the fire station after she sees what has happened to the World Trade Center on TV, ready to help. In another, set weeks after the attack, the show\u2019s characters are still searching for the missing at Ground Zero. \u201cThere was a sense of community\u201d in filming that season of&nbsp;<em>Third Watch<\/em>, with a story line that addressed a tragic event that affected the entire nation, says Raver. \u201cIt was that same feeling, addressing the pandemic on&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;COVID-19 plotlines borrowed from real life: one character\u2019s mother dies after contracting the virus at an assisted living facility, while Raver\u2019s character tends to a colleague who suffers worsening COVID-19 symptoms and needs to be placed on a ventilator. Raver says she felt the pressure to accurately portray the physical and emotional toll the virus takes on healthcare workers, but Vernoff says she was well equipped to take on the challenge. \u201cKim is a total pro. She can take any direction you throw at her. She has real and easy emotional depth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show\u2019s writers also sought to honor the efforts of medical professionals by ensuring they did the proper research before starting to draft the season\u2019s episodes. \u201cDuring our prewriting research time, we watched a lot of video diaries of doctors and read innumerable articles about what they are going through,\u201d Zoanne Clack, a doctor, writer, and executive producer on the show, told&nbsp;<em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also important to Raver and the rest of the&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;cast and crew: not adding to the healthcare crisis by turning filming into a spreader event. The show has taken special measures to keep cast and crew safe during filming, says Raver, including constant testing, social distancing, and wearing masks in between scenes and during rehearsals. \u201cI have to say, to this day, they\u2019re doing an incredible job at keeping all the safety protocols. There\u2019s also been a real coming together of our cast and crew to make sure that we\u2019re all safe in our daily lives so that we can keep everyone in our company on the show safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Learning the Craft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Raver\u2019s experiences grappling with dark, difficult subjects are a long way from her first foray into showbiz. Before she was playing a paramedic on&nbsp;<em>Third Watch<\/em>&nbsp;or a heart surgeon on&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>, the New York City born and raised Raver appeared on&nbsp;<em>Sesame Street<\/em>&nbsp;as a young child. \u201cI\u2019d walk onto the sound stages and it was magical,\u201d she recalls. \u201cThere were all these Muppets everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while she has fond memories of being on the&nbsp;<em>Sesame Street<\/em>&nbsp;set, Raver says it was her time at the First All Children\u2019s Theater that really sparked her desire to act. When she was 13, she joined the after-school theater program, where she counted actor Ben Stiller among her peers. The performers were all children, ages 6 through 17, and all of the productions were written especially for the theater company. The famed late writer and theater director Elizabeth Swados even penned one of the performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just loved it. There was something about performing and telling stories. I knew then I wanted to be an actor,\u201d says Raver. \u201cIt became a big part of my life because eventually I had to choose: do I want to be a regular teenager and hang out with my friends from school, or do I want to be a part of this company? It was a big time commitment. We weren\u2019t allowed to be even a minute late. I was at this theater every single day, right after school until the evening, and then I was doing homework. It definitely formed my self-discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote magazine-block-bu-pullquote alignwide has-image-focus-center-middle has-quaternary-theme\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><figure><\/figure><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">\u201cWhen I think about my experience at BU and the community that I had there\u2014and that I carried on with me since graduating\u2014I realize it&#8217;s an important thing to have as an artist and as an individual. It&#8217;s such a tricky business, and you need that kind of support.\u201d<\/div><footer class=\"caption\"><br\/>Kim Raver<\/footer><hr\/><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At BU, Raver says she met like-minded classmates\u2014and still keeps in touch with many of them. \u201cWhen I think about my experience at BU and the community that I had there\u2014and that I carried on with me since graduating\u2014I realize it\u2019s an important thing to have as an artist and as an individual. It\u2019s such a tricky business, and you need that kind of support,\u201d says Raver. \u201cI tell young actors just getting out of school that your community when you get out\u2014the people you went to school with\u2014is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she was starting out in New York City just after graduating from BU, Raver gathered with fellow alumni and other creatives she met through her network to rent performance spaces and put on productions, \u201cjust to stay in working shape while we were auditioning.\u201d Finally, she landed her breakout role in the 1995 Broadway production of&nbsp;<em>Holiday<\/em>&nbsp;with Laura Linney and Tony Goldwyn. When she started rehearsing for the show, she couldn\u2019t help but reflect on her performance in&nbsp;<em>Twelfth Night<\/em>&nbsp;at the Huntington Theatre while at BU. \u201cI remember thinking what incredible prep for&nbsp;<em>Holiday<\/em>&nbsp;I got from that experience, from being up onstage during the rehearsal time\u2014practicing stage combat and doing vocal warmups\u2014all the way to the performance. I owe a lot to my BU training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Finding Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Raver has played a wide range of roles over her career, from Audrey Raines, a Department of Defense senior policy analyst, in the action-packed Fox series&nbsp;<em>24<\/em>, to Nico Reilly, the seductive editor-in-chief of a luxury magazine, in NBC\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Lipstick Jungle<\/em>, Altman might be her favorite part yet, she says. \u201cI love and respect Teddy and the journey she\u2019s been on. She\u2019s an amazing, multifaceted character.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, in 2012, Raver\u2019s respect for the character was part of her decision to step away from the role. Her series option was up, and she felt it was time to give Altman a break. The character left the show to accept a job with the United States Army Medical Command, but Raver noted that she wasn\u2019t opposed to returning to the show one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, Raver explored other roles, including a recurring spot on the NBC sci-fi series&nbsp;<em>Revolution<\/em>. Then in 2017, Vernoff reached out to Raver to propose a new story line that would bring Altman back: a baby. In season 14, Altman returns, rekindling a friendship with a former colleague, Owen Hunt, which blossoms into something more\u2014and, eventually, parenthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot can be mined by returning to characters who were here before and are already beloved by the audience,\u201d Vernoff says of the decision to bring the character back. \u201cAnd I think Kim has brought so much to recent seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Raver was game to come back. \u201cI just loved the story that she wanted to tell. It made a lot of sense,\u201d says Raver. \u201cThere was just so much more to tell about Teddy. It\u2019s incredible to have a show that keeps evolving, and it\u2019s pretty amazing that after all these years, there are new and exciting story lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"responsive-video responsive-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Owen Reconciles with Teddy as Friends - Grey&#039;s Anatomy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PIgZdcsvL40?list=PLDe0CguuqcMALqD6JGJInkB_-HogMTuxi\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>Watch Raver\u2019s Teddy Altman navigate her relationship with Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) in this season 17 clip.

When production on&nbsp;<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>&nbsp;halted in March 2020, season 16 inadvertently ended with a scandalous cliff-hanger. Raver\u2019s character leaves an accidental, and incriminating, voicemail for her now-fianc\u00e9 Hunt on their wedding day, which indicates she\u2019s cheating on him. The show\u2019s devoted fans wasted no time taking to social media to express their disappointment with Altman\u2014a quick glimpse at the comments on ABC\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pc_1fI_RBKk&amp;t\">YouTube clip<\/a>&nbsp;of Hunt listening to the voicemail, which has more than one million views, shows the full range of their discontent. \u201cThis scene crushed my soul and gave me anxiety,\u201d wrote one fan. \u201cThat was cruel and heartbreaking,\u201d said another. But the fans weren\u2019t the only ones who were disappointed in the character\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m upset with Teddy,\u201d Raver told&nbsp;<em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. \u201cThere\u2019s a universal thing of when you have what you want, the healthy people make it blossom, and the people that need work kind of blow it up. And I think we\u2019ve all been there. . . the beautiful thing of the show is that [characters] have their shining moments and then they have their very ugly human moments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raver especially feels the importance of showing those very human moments in playing Altman this year, connecting with viewers during such a difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-end-of-article\">\u201c<em>Grey\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0has this really amazing gift of blending comedy and drama.
