‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 20 Cast and Character Guide
The cast of “Grey’s Anatomy” has gone through many changes over the years, so it’s hard to keep track of who’s still around.
Ellen Pompeo remains the heart and soul of the ABC medical drama, though she’s taken a step back from the show and will only appear in a reported four out of 10 episodes in Season 20. OG cast members Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. stand as the sole performers who’ve remained series regulars on the show since Episode 1. Together, the sprawling cast will bring plenty of drama and medical miracles back to our TVs this spring.
Meet the “Grey’s Anatomy” Season 20 cast and characters below:
Ellen Pompeo (Dr. Meredith Grey)
Pompeo continues to make medical history after playing the role of Meredith Grey since Season 1, Episode 1. Though Pompeo officially stepped back as a series regular midway through Season 19, the doctor’s presence continues to be felt at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. And don’t worry, her iconic voiceover will continue in every episode this season.
Along with her legendary run as Meredith Grey, Pompeo is known for making her screen debut on “Law & Order,” and appearances on TV shows like “Strangers with Candy,” “Friends” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Film roles include movies like “Daredevil” (2003), “Coming Soon” and “Catch Me If You Can.”

After dating long distance for much of the COVID era, he and Maggie got married, though their nuptials were short-lived.

Alexis Floyd (Dr. Simone Griffith)
Joining the series at the start of Season 19, Dr. Simone Griffith is among a fresh class of interns filling the space left behind by Ellen Pompeo’s reduced role on the show. Simone quickly brought the drama last season, as her burgeoning relationship with fellow intern Lucas (Niko Terho) led her to leave her fiancé at the altar by the end of the Season 19 finale. Simone, Lucas and Mika (Midori Francis) also ended up in hot water as they found themselves trying to save a patient in critical condition and Teddy after her collapse in the OR.
Floyd’s credits include shows like “Inventing Anna” and a recurring role on “The Bold Type.”
Harry Shum Jr. (Dr. Benson “Blue” Kwan)
Benson Kwan made quite an impression when he joined the show in Season 19 as the know-it-all intern who rubbed his classmates the wrong way. Still, he managed to light a spark with fellow intern Jules (Adelaide Kane). The season ended in an equally tense turn for him after Blue ignored patient Maxine’s DNR and intubated her, forcing Jules to make a tough decision about her close friend’s health.

Adelaide Kane (Dr. Jules Millin)
Jules Millin joined the hospital’s staff in Season 19, with a funny but nostalgic nod to the medical drama’s pilot after she and Link found out they had slept together shortly before she was set to start working there. Their connection quickly fizzled however, as she grew closer with Blue and her fellow interns. After her roommate and grandmother figure, Jules, ended up at Grey Sloan, a difficult choice from Blue lands both of them in hot water.
Kane is also known for leading the cast of the CW historical drama series “Reign,” along with recurring roles on “Once Upon a Time” and “Teen Wolf.”
Midori Francis (Dr. Mika Yasuda)
One of the interns, Mika Yasuda captured the audience’s hearts after the hospital gave her a grant so she could afford to continue her education without having to work another job.

Francis rose to fame with a breakout role on the Netflix limited series “Dash & Lily.” She’s also known for roles on films like “Ocean’s 8” and “Unseen” and TV roles on “Divorce,” “Younger” and “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”
Niko Terho (Dr. Lucas Adams)
The last of the five main interns of the latest generation, Lucas Adams also has the closest tie to the original characters. The Season 19 premiere revealed that he is the nephew of Derek and Amelia Shepherd, meaning he is also related to Meredith.

Terho is also known for his lead role alongside Jake Borelli on “The Thing About Harry.”
