Grey's Anatomy ~ 😷

Casts Robert I. Mesa as First Indigenous Doctor on the Show for Season 17.

Who made his debut on  in the third episode of this season, playing intern James Chee, has been bumped up to be a recurring cast member on the ABC medical drama. Chee is the first indigenous doctor on “Grey’s Anatomy” in its 17 seasons, and he will next appear in the episode airing on April 15. 

The future of the show itself is in limbo right now, as Pompeo negotiates her contract. Recently, showrunner Krista Vernoff  has told that she’s planning “for both contingencies” of a season and series finale, and “it’s a source of frustration at this point.”
