“Timeless” star and “Rectify” alum Abigail Spencer will join “Grey’s Anatomy,” replacing Bridget Regan as Megan Hunt in a recasting ahead of Season 14, an ABC spokesperson told TheWrap.
The actress will star in a multi-episode arc on the ABC-Shondaland drama, stepping in for Regan as Owen’s sister following a scheduling conflict. Regan currently stars on the TNT drama “The Last Ship” alongside “Grey’s” alum Eric Dane.
The character, Owen’s sister and an army medic, had previously been presumed to be dead in a helicopter crash, but was revealed to be alive in last season’s finale. Regan did not appear in the finale, but guest starred in a series of flashbacks in an earlier episode the same season.
