Grey’s Anatomy season 19 has created a problem by neglecting some of its already-established characters like Dr. Levi Schmitt. Grey’s Anatomy has long been an ensemble show, but with the introduction of five new interns as series regulars, the screen time for characters like Schmitt has all but dried up. With Ellen Pompeo set to only appear in eight episodes this season, much of the first six episodes have had a heavy focus on Meredith getting ready to move to Boston. While audiences can’t blame the showrunners for wanting to give Meredith a proper sendoff, working in other character’s storylines would help the rest of the season flow nicely.

Levi Schmitt had some really great storylines in Grey's Anatomy season 18, but most of them have seemingly disappeared in the new season. Schmitt had a fantastic story arc last season that showed his declining mental state after losing a patient.
