Season 21 is gearing up to be quite a season for Grey’s Anatomy. In addition to the shake-ups that ABC announced for the series’ new episodes, the network is now revealing that yet another character will make their way back into the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Natalie Morales, who first debuted in the series as Dr. Monica Beltran in Season 20, is coming back for several episodes starting this October.
Monica Beltran is the new face of pediatric surgery on the series — a position that was previously occupied by fan-favorites Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers). Morales is set to return to the long-running series just a week after the new season premieres, and initially she’ll guest star in six episodes, with ABC indicating that she might come back for more, depending on how the story of the season develops. Considering that Dr. Beltran might be a love interest for Winston (Anthony Hill) or Amelia (Caterina Scorsone), chances are she’ll hang around a lot more.
Morales is joining a slate of familiar faces in Season 21. The most surprising one so far is Kali Rocha, who is reprising her role as Dr. Sydney Heron for the first time after seven years away. Additionally, fans were happy to discover that Dr. Grey (Ellen Pompeo) herself has also signed on to a hefty participation in Season 21. Even though Pompeo has officially left the show a couple of seasons ago, she keeps coming back for more and never stopped doing the episodes’ voice-over narrations.
