TV TALK : Grey’s Anatomy stars pay homage to Orange Is The New Black

The medical drama stars posed as stars from the comedy drama for a picture posted by Ellen Pompeo

It is really hard to find any similarities between the popular TV shows, Grey’s Anatomy and Orange Is The New Black. One of them is a medical drama whilst the other is a comedy drama set in a prison.

Despite that, the cast of Grey’s Anatomy is a fan of the Netflix TV series as Ellen Pompeo, the lead star of the medical drama, shared a photo on her WhoSay account where she and her fellow cast members paid homage to the comedy drama, reported the Hollywood Life.

Ellen posted the picture with the caption, “Blue is the new black #8daystillgreys #greysanatomy.”

The group photo features Ellen Pompeo wearing cornrows, similar to the character of Tricia on the Netflix series, while Sara Ramirez wears glasses and sports a fake tattoo to portray Alex Vause from the prison show.

Others in the photo are also portraying popular characters, such as Crazy Eyes and Big Boo.

The Grey’s Anatomy star had previously expressed her fondness for the show on twitter and had requested her followers to watch the show if they hadn’t watched it yet.

“If they don’t (watch the show) they should. Those girls are giving it,” tweeted the 44-year old actor.

The ABC drama series is currently filming for what would be its eleventh season and is all set to return on September 25.
