Season 14 of Grey's Anatomy is shaping up to be one to remember! The beloved ABC medical drama is introducing a recast of a major character as the season approaches—Megan Hunt. In the Season 13 finale, fans were left stunned when they learned that Dr. Owen Hunt's sister, presumed missing for years, was actually alive. Previously portrayed by Bridget Regan, Megan will now be brought to life by the talented Abigail Spencer. This casting change is set to bring a fresh dynamic to the series, and fans are buzzing with anticipation.

Bridget Regan took to Twitter on August 5 to address the casting change gracefully. "Thanks for all the love guys! @abigailspencer is an incredible actor, tip top lady, and will be a BRILLIANT Megan on #GreysAnatomy," she wrote. The 35-year-old actress couldn't reprise her role due to scheduling conflicts, as she's currently starring in TNT's The Last Ship, which has just been renewed for two more seasons. Bridget's positive response reflects the camaraderie and mutual respect within the entertainment industry.

Timeless star Abigail Spencer is set to appear in several episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, which kicks off its two-hour-long season premiere on Thursday, September 28. Since May, fans have been eagerly speculating about the mysterious Megan Hunt and how her return will impact the storyline. Abigail's arrival promises to add depth and intrigue to the unfolding drama at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

In the gripping finale of last season, we witnessed Owen and his wife, Dr. Amelia Shepherd, watching Megan being carried off an airplane on a stretcher. This dramatic moment has sparked countless theories among fans. Some believe the woman they found may not even be Owen's sister, given the long time she's been missing. Others think her return could shake up the dynamics at the hospital in ways we can't yet imagine.
