He formed a legendary couple with Megan Hunt (Abigail Spencer), after having had a first crush on Meredith Gray (Ellen Pompeo).
In a recent interview, Martin Henderson said he was not not closed to the idea of returning to the famous medical series. “I didn't really think about it, just because I was very involved and busy with Virgin River and other things in my life” he explained, before adding, “But I think Shonda Rhimes (the director of Grey’s AnatomyEditor’s note) always really supported me; we have worked together many times on different things, so I would always be open to that possibility.“.
However, he would agree to return on one condition: “I will only come back if I feel that the character has something to do and that I can contribute something“. As a reminder, in 2017, Martin Henderson had already answered this big question by confiding on the microphone of Deadline : “I was happy to spend a few years doing the show. I will never close the door on a potential return“. That's what it says!
