Martin Henderson Would Return To ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ If There Is “Really Clear Plan” For Nathan

It’s been more than seven years since Martin Henderson left ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy after two seasons as a series regular, playing Dr.

Nathan Riggs. While the venerable medical drama is known for bringing back cast members, Henderson is one of few who have never been back.

During an interview about Season 6 of his popular Netflix series Virgin River, Deadline asked Henderson whether he has given any thought to potentially returning to Grey’s Anatomy. “I haven’t given it a lot of thought, just because I’ve been so committed and busy with Virgin River and some other stuff and life,” he said. “But I think Shonda Rhimes has always been really supportive of me; we’ve actually worked together a bunch of times on different things, so I would always be open to the possibility.

Again, if it fitted in with whatever else was going on in my life at the time and my career.” Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes had cast Henderson in two other projects for ABC, pilot Inside the Box and series Off the Map, before recruiting him as a new series regular for Season 12 of Grey’s Anatomy, on the heels of the shocking exit of the series’ male lead, Patrick Dempsey, the previous season.
