“The entire cast and crew rallied around me at that time in my life, supported me and kept me going. The themes of grief, love, acceptance, and kindness in tonight's episode somehow merged with my lived experience losing my father while filming” he writes. Let us recall that the episode broadcast this Thursday, November 21, discussed at length the mourning of Miko (Midori Francis), whose sister died after a car accident caused by the young intern. A death which even led to his departure from the hospital – and therefore from the series Kevin McKidd subsequently addresses Meg Marinis, the showrunner of the series: “Thank you for allowing me to come home to my family and reorganize my schedule“

Kevin McKidd then mentions Debbie Allen aka Catherine Avery: “Thank you very much for intervening and supporting me during these few days of filming when I had to be absent… James, Gary, Darryl, Jeanne Tyson… The list goes on. Even if none of us (except maybe Shonda [Rhimes]) does not own any episodes of our series, I would still like to humbly dedicate tonight's episode to my cheeky, wonderful and fun father, Neil McKidd“. A moving message that Danielle Savre's lover concludes by addressing those who read it: “Take advantage of it and keep the ones you love and… call, FaceTime or WhatsApp your parents if you're lucky enough to still have them.“
