Dr. Arizona Robbins, played by actress Jessica Capshaw<\/strong><\/a>, is set to scrub back into Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/i><\/a>\u2019s Grey Sloan Memorial during season 20.<\/p>\n

ABC announced on Saturday, February 10, that Capshaw, 47, would reprise her Grey\u2019s <\/i>role ahead of its Television Critics Association 2024 Winter presentation. According to The Wrap<\/a>, Capshaw will return in a guest-starring capacity.<\/p>\n

While further details about Arizona\u2019s season 20 arc have been shared, Capshaw seemingly hinted about her excitement to return to the medical drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much, coming soon,\u201d she wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, alongside a \u201cHappy New Year\u201d window display celebrating 2024 as the year of the dragon.<\/p>\n

Capshaw starred on Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/i>from season 5 to season 14, playing pediatric-turned-fetal surgeon Arizona Robbins. Arizona was written off the show in 2018 after she decided to leave Seattle and move to New York with her and ex-wife Callie Torres\u2019 daughter, Sofia Robbin Sloan Torres (Eva Ariel Binder<\/strong>). Callie (Sara Ramirez<\/strong>) had previously relocated to the Big Apple in season 12, when Ramirez, 48, left the show.<\/p>\n

Capshaw\u2019s initial Grey\u2019s <\/i>departure was a result of creative changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarah [Drew] and Jessica\u2019s story lines had just run their course, and the decision was made to not renew their contracts,\u201d a source exclusively Us Weekly<\/i><\/a> in March 2018, referring to Drew, 43, whose April Kepner was written off the show at the same time as Arizona.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThroughout its lengthy run, Grey\u2019s Anatomy has said goodbye \u2014 and then hello again \u2014 to countless popular characters. As the first series regular to exit from the ABC medical drama, fans were surprised when Isaiah Washington (Preston Burke) returned to Grey\u2019s Anatomy in 2014 \u2014 seven years after he was fired for using a [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI had an absolute ball getting to work with Jesse again. We have such a great working relationship and such a wonderful friendship, and it\u2019s so easy. It\u2019s so easy to act with him,\u201d Drew told <\/a>Us<\/a> <\/i>in April 2021 of their TV reunion. \u201cWe just had so many years to pull from. We know how one another works. We know how to support one another in a scene. We know how to talk through something. We know how to be each other\u2019s cheerleaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/i>season 20<\/a> will also see Ellen Pompeo<\/strong> (Meredith Grey) return despite previously stepping back due to other commitments. (Pompeo, 54, has continued to provide voiceovers for the episodes and is still an executive producer on both Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/i>and its Station 19 <\/i>spinoff.)<\/p>\n
