In 2018, after 8 seasons of April Kepner, Sarah Drew said goodbye to Grey’s Anatomy. A departure that caused a lot of ink at the time because it wasn’t the actor’s fault.
Her contract, like that of Jessica Capshaw (Arizona Robbins), was not actually renewed for season 15. And if Sarah Drew has appeared in a medical series since then, she continues to have some disdain for the rush. departure.
Sarah Drew reflects on her departure from Grey’s Anatomy
A few days ago, Sarah Drew appeared on the Call It What It Is podcast hosted by her former partners Jessica Capshaw and Camilla Ludington (Joe). A chance for him to revisit the departure of Grey’s Anatomy.
“I was unceremoniously fired in a way that felt bad and unfair, and because of that I received an outpouring of love that was as strong as if I was watching my own praise.Sarah Drew explained.
The actor’s departure was unexpected both for him and for fans of the medical series. At the time, he admitted that his firing was tied to too many Grey’s Anatomy characters. “They needed to downsize because they couldn’t handle all the characters effectively“- he revealed The Hollywood Reporter.
Sarah Drew has since returned to Grey’s Anatomy to appear in one episode. an experience that was “liberating” for him. “I don’t have any attachments…I didn’t have any anxiety because I didn’t need anyone else on this set“, he confided to the podcast.
“They are no longer responsible for my salary. They are no longer responsible for my success or my happiness… I just think it’s a cool place to visit.“
A role that changed his career
In the same podcast, April’s interpreter also revealed that her time on Grey’s Anatomy allowed her to develop her career and, above all, to move into different roles. “Before I came out, I always played clumsy, boring, boring characters, ugly ducklings, unattractive people.”
“I’ve been the weird stalker following Will on Glee, the pathetic woman married to a man who doesn’t love him on Mad Men, or Amy’s ugly best friend on Everwood. I was ugly until my character started dating. Now I play the main character in romantic comedies.” The actor will also appear on Thursday 17 October in the Christmas Olympics, a TV movie to be broadcast on TF1.
