'Grey's Anatomy' appeared to hint at how Dr. Owen Hunt will be written off the show shortly after news broke about Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver's exits
Grey's Anatomy appeared to hint at how Dr. Owen Hunt will be written off the show shortly after news broke about Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver's exits. During the Thursday, March 26, episode of the medical drama, Owen and Teddy visited Cascade Hill to help a smaller hospital with fewer resources.
The visit revealed to Teddy that Owen got a job offer at Cascade that he was considering. By the end of their trip, Owen reassured Teddy that he wasn't leaving Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Viewers, however, know that McKidd, 53, will be wrapping up his arc as Owen by the time season 22 comes to an end. '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 on Wednesday, March 25. 'Playing Dr. Owen Hunt and directing on the show have both shaped me enormously, and I’ve had the privilege of working with an extraordinary group of people throughout that time. I’m particularly thankful to Shonda Rhimes for creating Owen, and for the encouragement she gave me as I stepped into directing.' He continued: '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.''Playing Dr. Teddy Altman will always hold a dear and special place in my heart. Sixteen years ago, I had the incredible privilege of stepping into this role thanks to the vision of Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers,' she wrote in her own statement. 'Since that day, it has been a true gift to bring the iconic words of Shonda and our brilliant team of writers to life. ... To the fans — your unwavering devotion and support are the reason this show remains such a force. Thank you for making this set my place of magic and my home.''Over the years, we have had the privilege of watching Owen and Teddy’s love story evolve and deepen — two characters who always seem to find their way back to each other. It is both bittersweet and joyful to give this couple the happy ending their story deserves,' she teased in a statement. 'Kevin and Kim bring extraordinary talent, nuance and heart to their roles as Owen and Teddy. Their contributions leave an indelible mark on Grey’s Anatomy, both in front of and behind the camera. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them both and to see them shine.' She concluded: 'While we will all miss seeing them in the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial each day, I am excited to witness where Kim’s and Kevin’s journeys will take them in the future.' Deadline reported that McKidd and Raver were informed more than a month ago that they would be leaving Grey’s. Their last episode will be the season 22 finale, which just wrapped production and is set to air May 7.
