'Grey's Anatomy' to bid farewell to Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver
Published in Entertainment News
“Grey’s Anatomy” is bidding goodbye to two of its veteran doctors.
Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd, who play soldiers-turned-surgeons Dr. Teddy Altman and Dr. Owen Hunt, respectively, will be exiting the long-running ABC medical drama at the end of its 22nd season. Their characters first connected while serving in Iraq and have come together and broken up many times during their tenure at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, eventually tying the knot in the show’s 18th season.
The official “Grey’s Anatomy” X account confirmed the actors’ departures Wednesday morning.
“Thank you, Kim and Kevin,” the post said. “There are no words for the gratitude we have for everything you brought to Grey’s Anatomy.”
McKidd joined the show’s cast during Season 5 in 2008 while Raver made her first appearance the following year, going on to become a series regular in Season 10.
“Playing Dr. Teddy Altman will always hold a dear and special place in my heart,” Raver said in a statement to THR. “Sixteen years ago, I had the incredible privilege of stepping into this role thanks to the vision of Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Since that day, it has been a true gift to bring the iconic words of Shonda and our brilliant team of writers to life.”
In addition to acting in the show, McKidd has also directed nearly 50 episodes of the Emmy-winning series.
“Grey’s Anatomy has been a huge chapter of my life, creatively and personally, and I’m deeply grateful for everything the show has given me over the years,” McKidd said in a statement to THR. “As that chapter comes to a close, I’m looking forward to what’s ahead — building new work, telling new stories, and taking everything I’ve learned into the next phase of my career.”
Three episodes remain leading up to the finale, which is set to air on May 7.
