Camilla Luddington Grey’s Anatomy Pregnant character Jo survived an emergency C-section – and the premature birth of her twins – but she’s not out of the woods yet.
During the Thursday, January 15 episode of the hit ABC series, Jo was still in the hospital after giving birth to her and Link (Chris Carmack) twins. Meanwhile, the babies stayed in the NICUwhich Jo visited later in the episode.
Link and others at Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital noticed that Jo was suffering emotional difficulties after she made fun of several people, including Winston (Antoine Colline). She then developed a friendship with another mom who allowed her to talk about her postpartum hormone drops.
After her new mom friend collapsed, Jo tried to help nurse her back to health over a loudspeaker, which worked temporarily while an intern was treating the woman. But once her friend was stabilized, Jo was not allowed to access her file, causing Jo to break down in tears as she was taken away by Link – without her permission.

Pickens, 72, opened up about his own health is soon at risk after Richard’s diagnosis aired on the show.
“It’s not the kind of news you want to hear, but to be honest, prostate cancer has affected my family,” Pickens told Black Health Matters in November 2025. “My father had it. He had a lot of brothers; several of them had it. I would have been surprised if I hadn’t had it.”
He added: “I have a 90-year-old first cousin, who is still alive, actually, [and] he had it. His son has it, some of his brothers have had it. To my knowledge, no one has died.

Pickens said he was diagnosed earlier this year.
“I started getting my annual physical 34 years ago, and I started my PSA tests at 41. I’m 73 now,” he recalls. “My urologist told me, ‘Because you were so diligent about this aspect of your health, it was to your advantage. We were able to catch it so early because you were tested.'”
After consulting a specialist, Pickens chose to have a prostatectomy.
“We detected it very early and so they thought that would be the best path forward,” Pickens explained. “I have a rare variant that you don’t see very often. They wanted to be cautious and watch for it. It was rare enough that they wanted to make sure they checked all the T’s and dotted all their I’s, but they hadn’t seen one that was detected as early as mine.”
Pickens later revealed that he was now in remission, writing via Instagram that same month: “Hi friends, I’m lucky and grateful to be cancer free. Thank you so much for all the love and support! Get checked out!”
Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.
