Kevin McKidd's Next TV Role Revealed After ‘Grey's Anatomy’ Exit
For several seasons now, it's seemed that Grey's Anatomy's Owen Hunt and Teddy Altman don't quite know how to say how they feel.
But after wasting plenty of time chasin' cars around their heads, there's reason to hope the on-and-off pair will ride off into their post-Grey's future together.
Announcing that Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver will be hanging up their scrub caps after a respective 18 and 12 seasons on the long-running medical series, show creator Shonda Rhimes teased that their final episode May 7 won't end with an out-of-nowhere semi-truck collision, a tragic plane crash, an electrocution in a flooded basement or any other wild turn of events necessitating a time of death call.
"Over the years, we have had the privilege of watching Owen and Teddy's love story evolve and deepen—two characters who always seem to find their way back to each other," Rimes explained in a statement. "It is both bittersweet and joyful to give this couple the happy ending their story deserves."
And while McKidd already has plans to scrub into a new show—the Scottish actor landed the lead role in ITV's upcoming British drama series The Only Suspect, E! News recently confirmed—their departure is still like defibrillator to the heart for the rest of the cast.
"It's really tough," Camilla Luddington recently admitted to E! News, teasing the show's "huge" season 22 finale. "We've all become family. We're shooting for—it's an 18 episode show right now and I've shot with Kevin when it's been 25 episodes—so you grow so close."
She's hopeful though, that this is more of a see you later than a firm goodbye.
Noting that it will feel "very strange" on set without them, the veteran cast member (her 14 seasons are only trumped by OG stars James Pickens Jr. and Chandra Wilson, as well as now part-timer Ellen Pompeo) told E!, "Hopefully we’ll see them next season."
Because, of course, they wouldn't be the first departed doctors to pay the show an office visit. As the drama wraps its 22nd season, it's a beautiful day to check in with its many former stars.

In season three, Burke abandoned Cristina at the altar and then just took off, eventually winning a Harper Avery award elsewhere and then at some point, moving to Zurich, Switzerland to open his own hi-tech hospital. He got married, started a family, and then in season 10, he invited Cristina to his hospital to take it over for him as he retired.
Isaiah Washington left the series after it was reported that he called costar T.R. Knight a gay slur during an argument on set with Patrick Dempsey, and all his defenses just kept making it worse before he finally was let go from the series. Apparently he and ABC made up, because they let him return for a second in 2014.
As for what Washington has said of the incident? He later issued a public apology, adding in another statement, "I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I've asked for help."
In the years since his Grey's Anatomy departure,he has starred as Thelonious Jaha on The CW's The 100, until his character died in season five, followed by Starz' critically acclaimed P-Valley.

Katherine Heigl's exit basically began in 2008 when she withdrew her name from Emmy consideration because she didn't feel like the material deserved it. In 2010, the character disappeared completely. She said in the years since that she would like to return to the character, but creator Shonda Rhimes did not. "I'm done with that story," she told TVLine in 2015.
Heigl, then a burgeoning romcom star, went on to star in a few more romcoms before returning to TV with State of Affairs, then Doubt, and more recently, she had an arc Suits and starred in Firefly Lane until it ended in 2023.

Intern Norman arrived in season four and had to fend off assumptions that he was an attending, rather than an intern, due to his age.

One of the biggest tearjerkers on this list, at the end of season five, George had just decided to enlist as a trauma surgeon in the army and was on his way to do so when he saved a woman from getting hit by a bus, only to be hit himself. He was in such bad shape when he got to the hospital that no one recognized him until he used his finger to write his nickname, 007, in Meredith's hand. They were unable to save him, and he tragically died.
After several tumultuous seasons behind the scenes (including Isaiah Washington using the f-word while allegedly referring to him), Knight struggled with some of George's storylines and the fact that George barely appeared in the beginning of season five, and asked to be released from his contract.
Knight returned to Shondaland in 2017 for an arc on The Catch, and has also appeared on The Good Wife, 11.22.63, and Genius, among other series.

Derek Shepherd had a rough couple of seasons as he got a job working for then-President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C. and tried to make Meredith and the family come with him.

Just as he and Mer were happy again in season 11, he was on his way back to tie up some loose ends and happened upon a massive car accident.
