In 14 seasons, the cast of the medical series Grey's Anatomy has evolved a lot, between departures, returns and arrivals. A few months after the departure of actress Jerrika Hinton, it is another regular who has just left the series. Last night, the American channel ABC broadcast the 5th episode of season 14, Danger Zone. An episode with flashbacks centered around the characters of Owen, Nathan, Megan and Teddy in Iraq, when they were in the military. This episode marked the surprise departure of one of the main characters of the series. A departure that no one saw coming!

And it was Dr. Nathan Riggs' departure that we attended last night. The character, played by actor Martin Henderson for two seasons, was indeed entitled to his happy ending alongside his beloved Megan (Abigail Spencer) Owen's sister who disappeared in Iraq for many years.
This is a real surprise for fans since the secret was well kept during the filming and production period. This departure, confirmed by the actor himself and by the creator Shonda Rhimes, may sow doubt in the mind of Meredith Grey. Indeed, following the departure of Patrick Dempsey, Dr. Riggs had begun a love affair with the widow of Dr. Mamour.
A new chapter opens for Grey's Anatomy. Nevertheless, season 14 continues to air on ABC, every Thursday night in the United States. You can take a look at our season premiere review!
