Oscar Winning Actress Joins the Cast of Grey’s Anatomy

It may be heading into its 11th season on air, but medial drama Grey's Anatomy is still going from strength to strength - and now producers have added an Oscar-winning actress to the cast.  It has emerged that Geena Davis is set to feature in a long-running arc of the upcoming season. Davis, who starred in another ABC series, Commander in Chief in 2005/2006, is set to play a new surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial. Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey's Anatomy, told The Hollywood Reporter that the upcoming season would be heavily centred around Meredith, saying: "It's really a Meredith-centric season. There's a lot of growth. She's lost her person. Her sister has showed up. Her husband is chafing to go someplace else. She's got all these things going on. ... But for me right now, it feels like it's Meredith. I'm feeling her more acutely because she's lost her person."
