Unfortunately, no! In March 2026, it was announced that Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver would be departing the show as series regulars after Season 22. The season finale saw a near-death experience for Owen make Teddy realize her rock-solid her feelings are for him. And so, as the couple declare their love for one another, they decide to leave Grey Sloan, heading to Paris for Teddy's new job.Of course, unless a character dies on Grey's, the door is always open for them to come back (and even that hasn't stopped some cameos from happening over the years). However, at this moment, McKidd is happy to let Owen remain off-screen, instead focusing his efforts behind the camera. As he told Parade in an exclusive interview, "I know that Debbie very much wants me to [return], and Meg [Marinis] does too. I’m sorting through other offers and commitments. I will absolutely come back and direct Grey’s because I love it and it’s my family. It’s like going home and seeing your family."

In the penultimate episode of Season 22, Dr. Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.) was fired after it was discovered that he had given an experimental non-FDA treatment to a patient. However, the finale brought about an "all-hands-on-deck" situation, putting him back into action. Despite the pitch he made to Richard (James Pickens Jr.) about his sterling record up to that point, he did not renege on his decision. It remains to be seen if Kwan will show up in Season 23 in some capacity, or if he's left the show for good.
Was Javier Bardem on Grey's Anatomy?
No, Javier Bardem was not on Grey's Anatomy. However, many people think that because of his resemblance to actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who starred as heart transplant patient Denny Duquette in Season 2. The two not only look similar but are only three years apart in age (Bardem is younger). You may recognize Morgan for his more recent and higher-profile role as Negan Smith on The Walking Dead.
Denny remains a memorable character to Grey's fans because of his role in a powerful storyline with Dr. Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) during his time at Seattle Grace awaiting the transplant. While the character's fate is tragic, he continues to factor heavily in Stevens' story for several more seasons.
As mentioned above the Grey's Season 22 finale saw Owen and Teddy make the decision to leave the hospital for Europe, after the former was put in crisis mode following a bridge collapsing. Also involved in the bridge collapse was Nick (Scott Speedman), who arrived at the hospital in critical condition. After undergoing a successful surgery, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) declared to him that they should get married and he happily agreed! But not every relationship had a happy ending. Most pertinently, the situation between Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) and Toni (Jen Landon) ended with the latter's declaration of love. But things immediately became complicated when she opened Amelia's door, only to discover she was sleeping with Cass (Sophia Bush)
