More big screen stars are turning to the small screen, with Geena Davis joining Grey’s Anatomy.
Davis, who previously played the lead in Commander in Chief, has a major guest arc in the eleventh season as a surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. It’s not clear if her character will fill the void left by Cristina Yang’s (Sandra Oh) move to Zurich.
Meanwhile James Marsden is joining Westworld as Teddy Flood, a mysterious new arrival to a small frontier town.
He joins Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood and Jeffrey Wright in HBO’s new version of the 1973 Western thriller.
Elsewhere Kyle McLachlan (Twin Peaks, Desperate Housewives) has a recurring role in the second season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

@Jezza – season 9. S8 finale was a plane crash with multiple cast members involved. Lexie died at the site, Mark died in hospital afterwards. The surviving doctors successfully sued the hospital for sending them on a dodgy plane, the settlement sent the hospital broke, so the doctors got together and bought the hospital, renaming it Grey Sloan Memorial after Lexie & Mark.
@Jduder – Kyle McLachlan is going to be playing Skye’s father, the one who Raina spoke to in the Season 1 finale when she said “I found your daughter.”
If ‘Westworld’ is a version of the movie premise then it’s not a western, it’s a scifi show about a fantasy holiday resort with naughty robots-as to Gina Davis-Jesus H Christ!-they’re still making Greys?
You can click on Westworld tag for more. I’ve reported it as a sci-fi western before.
@jezza 3rd time it’s happened but this name change happened when the docs took ownership after the plane crash in s9. Was to commemorate the 2 that died in the crash
That’s what happens when your movie career hits the skids.
Geena Davis last bid studio gig was a supporting role in Stuart Little II in 2002 and her last big lead was The Long Kiss Goodnight in 1996.
She is not stranger to TV starting out with appearances in Fantasy Island. Family Ties and Remington Still and in the last decade she has done The Geena Davis Show, Commander in Chief, a couple of low budget TVMs and miniseries and a guest spot on Will and Grace.
Will she be shaking things up or will it be same old, same old? Is she a spark or something that will just come and go?
How major is it? Do you think Seven can successfully relaunch the show? People except die hards don’t watch because it’s been tired for years.
Grey Sloan memorial hospital… When did that happen?
I think she’ll be great. Looking forward to seeing her on the show.
I have seen Geena Davis in a hospital before when she played a hospital administrator in the Coma mini-series.
I’ve always liked Geena Davis, so I’m happy she’s going to be on a show I still very much enjoy even after all these years. I wonder who Kyle is going to play in AoS?
