‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Showrunner Talks Premiere’s Twists & Big Return, Teases Resilience-Themed Season 21 As 2 Cast Members Prepare To Exit


'Grey's Anatomy' showrunner Meg Marinis talks about Sydney Heron's return in Season 21 premiere, the Catherine-Meredith power play and more.

Spared by Catherine only because they bring in funding, the interns were assigned a new supervisor, Sydney Heron ( Kali Rocha) — in her return to Grey Sloan after 17 years — but they quickly soured on her overly sweet demeanor and “healing with love” attitude. Speaking of characters who are coming back, neither Monica (Natalie Morales) nor Nick (Scott Speedman) were in the premiere but both actors are set to reprise their recurring roles, with Marinis teasing the future of the Monica-Winston and Meredith-Nick relationships. DEADLINE: Talk about the Meredith-Catherine power play and where the deal they made in the premiere leaves them this season: Will Catherine’s cancer complication be a major storyline and what happens with Meredith’s research as she agrees to go in another direction?
