Well, it seems it’s “never say goodbye” as well, as now she would be returning for a guest appearance in the new season, which is the 17th season. When Drew was absent on the show, her TV spouse was vocal about wanting her to return.
The TV actress was first introduced on “Grey’s Anatomy” in its sixth season when Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital merged with Mercy West. In her final episode, Drew’s character married Matthew Taylor.
Although she divorced Williams’ character in the series, he has hinted at his wish for them to reunite. Williams shared that the characters were incredible together and were a great couple.
The April character [played by Sarah Drew] revolved around her love and romance dynamics with Jackson [played by Jesse Williams] and Matthew [played by Justin Bruening], where she first ditched Matthew to be with Jackson.
