Exclusive: 'Grey's Anatomy' promotes Sarah Drew
- TV Show
Image Credit: Eric McCandless/ABCIt’s official: Sarah Drew has been welcomed into Grey’s Anatomy‘s elite Series-Regular Society.
An ABC rep confirms that Drew’s deal — which kicks in this fall with the start of season 7 — was finalized this morning.
News of the former Everwood actress’ promotion comes 48 hours after fellow Grey’s rookie Jesse Williams joined the full-time ranks at Seattle Grace.
It’s safe to say that fans will be slower to embrace Drew’s new status, given the mostly chilly reception her character — Mercy West alum/McDreamy-obsessive April — has received. But don’t underestimate the redemptive powers of both fast-rising star Drew and series creator Shonda Rhimes. And if you’re looking for Exhibit A, grab some Kleenex and rewatch April’s emotional heart-to-heart with Mer in the season finale.
Admit it: You’re starting to like her. You’re starting to really, really like her. Or not. Either way, share your thoughts in the comments!

Meredith. Alex. Bailey. The doctors are definitely in on Shonda Rhimes' hospital melodrama.
