Grey’s Anatomy 18, Lynn Chen joins the cast as head of cosmetic surgery

Grey’s Anatomy, born as a mid-season stopgap in the American schedules, continues its glorious history twenty years after the first episode. And in season number 18 (available on Disney +), which could be the last, the news continues to flock, including the entry of Lynn Chen into the cast as head of the cosmetic surgery department (after Jesse Williams left the scene).

Farewell, Covid!

Especially after the (not exactly brilliant) chapter 17 dedicated to Coronavirus – with Meredith dying and multiple visions from beyond the grave, from beloved Derek to friend George – it is time for renewal. It was already understood with the announcement of the most welcome return of Kate Walsh in Dr. Addison Montgomery’s lab coat.

Welcome to the family

But let’s get back to Lynn Chen: The actress went from guest star to recurring character in the role of Dr. Michelle Lin. The new purchase of the Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital takes over the staff to stem the losses due to Covid-19, even if it is initially skeptical of the job offer.

The news in the ward

Already seen in Shameless e The Affair, the interpreter is ready to wreak some havoc in the ward. The love affairs, meanwhile, promise further upheavals: on the one hand Scott Speedman is hired to make Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) lose his head, on the other hand he has arrived the first non-binary physician, Dr. Kai Bartley, played by ER Fightmaster.

Sometimes they come back

New arrivals, of course, but also welcome returns. Peeps Owen’s sister Megan (Abigail Spencer), but also Meredith’s mother, Ellis (Kate Burton), once again present from beyond.

A season of nostalgia, love and the spotlight increasingly focused on trainees. What else?
