Might the doctor soon be out?
Jerrika Hinton, who has been a series regular on Grey’s Anatomy since Season 10, has been cast as the lead on Toast, an upcoming comedy from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes.
Scott Foley and Greg Grunberg will serve as writers/executive producers on the unique sitcom, which chronicles a a wedding rehearsal dinner.
During this event, the toasts made by an eclectic group of friends and family members are depicted by far-more-truthful flashbacks.
Look for Hinton to portray Page, the soon-to-be-bride.
Deadline first reported this piece of casting news.
If Toast receives a series pick-up, it is unclear right now what this will mean for Hinton on Grey's Anatomy Season 13, which has already received a green light.
