In the first episode of Station 19, an elderly woman named Edith was in the courtyard of her senior home when the firefighters arrived. She was friendly with hard-of-hearing Mr. Page. Edith reappears in the second episode “Reignited,” which also sees Andy (Jaina Lee Ortiz) and Jack (Grey Damon) disagreeing about the station’s budget.
Senior citizen Edith is portrayed by Marla Gibbs. The 86-year-old actress is known for her roles on The Carmichael Show (Jerrod’s grandmother Francis), The First Family (Grandma Eddy), 227 (Mary Jenkins), and The Jeffersons (Florence Johnston), among others. Station 19 airs Thursdays at 9pm on ABC.
