Jesse Williams is set to return as Dr. Jackson Avery in an upcoming episode of Grey”s Anatomy. This appearance marks his first after a regular role in the seventeenth season.
The beloved medical drama, created by Shonda Rhimes, continues to captivate audiences and shows no signs of concluding anytime soon, despite the departure of several cast members in recent years. Many of these exits have been permanent due to character deaths, a decision that has faced criticism from fans.
In the latest preview, Jackson is seen interacting with Meredith Grey, who also has a reduced role in the current storylines at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. This episode is scheduled to air on October 30.
It remains unclear whether this will be a brief cameo appearance or if he will have an extended presence in future episodes. Since leaving the series in 2021, Williams has made sporadic cameo appearances, featuring in a total of four episodes since his departure.
Jackson Avery quickly became a fan favorite after joining the show in its sixth season. His romantic relationship with Meredith was a significant storyline until her departure following a controversial firing in 2018.
As viewers anticipate Williams” return, the excitement around his character suggests a strong response from the loyal fanbase of Grey”s Anatomy.
