No One Is Safe From the Feels These Rare Photos From the Grey's Anatomy Pilot Will Give You

Rhimes called this one of the cutest photos ever because "Ellen just seems so happy to be at work."

This photo was taken from the episode where George gets his "first big moment in the OR."

Between takes was the time for everyone to get to know one another in real life, Rhimes explained.

Rhimes revealed that the series had no name until just before the first episode aired. Before that, everything was labeled for The Untitled Shonda Rhimes Project, even set pieces!

Rhimes grabbed a sneak shot of Dempsey and Pompeo midscene while lying on the floor. We love a dedicated paparazzo!

Rhimes caught Oh while shooting the interns leaving the hospital at the end of their shift.

Legends with legends! Rhimes admitted that meeting Pickens Jr. was a little bit surreal and she was "a little star struck."

Meredith and George share their first moment of true friendship and comfort one another after making big mistakes. Rhimes described this scene as one of her favorites from the pilot.

The Cristina Yang magic didn't happen by accident. Rhimes said Oh and Horton would have "long conversations about her character before each scene," which explains how the character became so fleshed out and one of our favorites in no time.

A sweet behind-the-scenes shot of Meredith Grey before her first day in surgery EVER!

This scene is just before the one where George gets the infamous surgery that earns him the nickname 007.

Yes, Nurse Bokhee has been around since season one! Kathy C. An is a real surgical nurse and has been in every single season of Grey's.

Remember those classic lunchroom scenes with the interns? They gave us some of our best intern interactions ever!

Our favorite interns in one of the first photo shoots for the series! "It's blurry, but that somehow made it feel slightly magical to me," Rhimes shared.
