George left Grey's to help introduce the then-new Station 19 offshoot. The actor made sporadic cameo appearances on the main medical drama even though he maintained a consistent regular on the firefighters saga for all seven seasons. Sources claim that there is no deal in place for George to go back to Grey's. Declining to comment were ABC and ABC Signature, which create both shows.
Still, the character's marriage to Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) has kept him personally connected to the medical drama. Ben left Grey's initially to follow his ambition of being a firefighter, but the door was always open for him to come back some day. Through a fellowship program, he became an EMT; subsequently, with Bailey's help, he became a fireman.
Ben's possible move to Grey's Anatomy is explained by the showrunner for Station 19, so enhancing the link between the spinoff and the main series. Station 19 bid farewell following seven seasons and more than 100 episodes. Furthermore, Station 19 closes without any deaths in the main characters even if the conclusion features the death of a recent recurrent character, Kate Powell (Kiele Sanchez). This choice is even more intriguing based on recent claims of Dr. Ben Warren (Jason George) possibly moving to Grey's.
Showrunner Zoanne Clack was asked about Ben's possibility coming up on Grey's Anatomy in an interview with Deadline following the Station 19 Season 7 Ending. Clack notes, "I don't believe anything else would have made sense for him," Ben's decision to return to his surgical residency. Though he shares the role with Peter Paige, the showrunner offers some insight into the character's perspective without stating if Ben would relocate to Grey's. Here is a quotation:

The penultimate episode of Station 19 helped Ben's road to return to Grey's Anatomy to be clearer. He acknowledges he may still be a quite excellent doctor. But given an injury, he might not be able to keep working as a firefighter. Although official confirmation about any potential crossover at this time is lacking, reading between the lines suggests most likelihood.
Though Station 19 season 7 marked the series finale of the spinoff, several characters can still show up on the main series, Grey's Anatomy. Although this change is not verified, as the show moves viewers may observe some reoccurring motifs. Given Grey's Anatomy's prominence, Ben's participation might help both shows' relationship to be stronger.
Nothing else would have fit him, in my opinion. That is all I am stating. For Ben, it felt logical given the direction the show would take at its finale. Had we not had to travel, it never would have occurred. Still, everyone had to go on and engage in new activities. Approach ahead. And it seemed to be his target push direction.
