This 'Grey's Anatomy' Character Is Coming Back, But With a *Really* Different Look

At this point, there aren’t many Grey’s Anatomy characters the show can bring back, seeing as most of them are—to put it bluntly—killed off. However, according to Refinery29, the upcoming Season 14 will welcome back Megan Hunt, Owen’s sister who was presumed dead before being found alive at the end of Season 13. But the biggest shock of this return is who will play Megan: former Mad Men star Abigail Spencer will replace original actress Bridget Regan.

Regan won’t return to Grey’s thanks to scheduling conflicts with her current gig on The Last Ship, which also stars Eric Dane, aka our beloved McSteamy. Being that Megan has only appeared in flashbacks before, I feel that the show can totally get away with recasting in this situation. Spencer also has great experience, having starred on Timeless, my favorite underrated show of the past year. Since the NBC show isn’t airing its second season until 2018, that leaves Spencer with plenty of free time to hang out with the Grey’s crew.

Regan took to Twitter to approve Spencer’s casting, saying she would be “brilliant” as Megan.
