Why Fans Think Chris Carmack’s Link Is Leaving Grey’s Anatomy After Season 21

The explosive Season 21 finale of Grey’s Anatomy left viewers with more questions than answers, particularly about Dr. Atticus “Link” Lincoln. As Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital went up in flames, fans were left wondering: Did Link survive the blast, and is actor Chris Carmack exiting the long-running medical drama?

Did Link die and is Chris Carmack leaving Grey’s Anatomy after Season 21 finale?

Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 finale showed Link in the middle of surgery, using a saw-like tool that could have ignited sparks, right before the hospital went up in flames. Given his position, many viewers fear he may have been caught in the blast.

However, nothing has been confirmed in Grey’s Anatomy yet whether Link died or not. While the cliffhanger suggests what is suspected, the show is known for dramatic fake-outs. With Jo pregnant with twins and no clear shot of Link’s fate, the finale expertly left viewers hanging.

So, is Chris Carmack leaving Grey’s Anatomy? At this point, nothing is confirmed. But in a post-finale interview with Deadline, showrunner Meg Marinis teased the possibility without giving anything away. When asked about what’s next for Link’s, she responded, “Nobody wants those two unborn girls to be fatherless, but everyone’s just going to have to tune in to see if Link was in the part of the hospital that went kaboom.” This vague response keeps both possibilities open. Link could survive if he weren’t near the explosion, or his death could set up a tragic storyline for Jo.

It’s worth noting that all main cast members, including Carmack, are reportedly under contract for the next season. However, their options haven’t officially been picked up. That strongly suggests Link could return, possibly having avoided the explosion by being in a safer wing of the hospital.

As for Link and Jo, Marinis hinted that their seemingly blissful stretch might not last long. Calling it “the calm before another storm,” she suggested more drama is on the horizon. Whether that storm is emotional or tragic remains to be seen.
