It has been more than two decades since the pilot episode of Grey’s Anatomy aired, and it’s still going strong with the 22nd season. ABC’s hugely popular medical drama continues to keep fans guessing what’s next, which only testifies to creator Shonda Rhimes and her team’s mettle in proving that compelling storytelling, complex characters, and emotional depth never go out of style, even after years of heartbreaks, miracles, and unforgettable moments at Grey Sloan Memorial (formerly Seattle Grace).
The 22nd season of Grey’s Anatomy premiered on October 9, 2025, and just a few episodes in, Caterina Scorsone, who plays ‘Dr. Amelia Shepard’, unexpectedly took a step back from the series. With Scorsone’s sudden hiatus, viewers are understandably curious about what prompted the break, and more importantly, when ‘Amelia’ will return to the show. But don’t you worry, Grey Sloan fans, your beloved neurosurgeon isn’t gone for good.
Why did ‘Amelia’ leave Grey Slone Memorial? (Spoiler alert!)
