After becoming a member of the long-running medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy” at the beginning of its sixth season, Sarah Drew’s trauma attending Dr. April Kepner bid farewell to the fictional Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital (née Seattle Grace Hospital) in the course of the season 14 finale. On the time, Drew appeared completely satisfied along with her nine-year flip because the timid, anxious intern turned trauma surgeon and U.S. Military veteran. When information broke that she and Jessica Capshaw, who performed pediatric surgeon Dr. Arizona Robbins, would each depart after the season 14 nearer “All of Me,” Drew was effusive in her reward for the present and its creator, Shonda Rhimes.
“I acquired to inform tales I believed in. I set to work with [producers] Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers and be taught from one of the best,” Drew advised The Hollywood Reporter. “I set to work with an unbelievable group of those that I’ll have lifelong friendships with […] It is arduous for me to give you something I may very well be indignant about.”
By 2024, although, Drew was singing a distinct tune. Throughout an look on the “Call It What It Is” podcast (hosted by Capshaw and Camilla Luddington, the latter of whom nonetheless performs Dr. Jo Wilson on “Gray’s Anatomy”) in October of that 12 months, Drew stated to Capshaw, “We have been unceremoniously let go in a manner that felt actually imply and unjust. And, due to that, the outpouring of affection was so huge it was such as you have been sitting there watching individuals say all of the issues that they love about you after you are useless.”
To be trustworthy, and with all due respect to Drew, April was virtually written out of the present twice, so I believe, with that thought of, she had a fairly good run on the collection! Shortly after her arrival in season 6 — she’s certainly one of a handful of interns from a competing hospital and residency program, Mercy West, who involves work at Seattle Grace when the 2 hospitals merge — April is fired after she forgets to verify a girl’s airway after a fireplace, resulting in the affected person’s dying.
Then, on the shut of season 8, April takes her medical board exams along with her colleagues Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh, who left the series at the end of season 10), Dr. Meredith Gray (Ellen Pompeo), Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers, who suddenly and unceremoniously departed in season 16), and Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), and April is the one one who would not cross. She briefly loses her job once more however is finally rehired. So what else occurs to April on “Gray’s Anatomy,” and the way does her story “finish” in season 14?
