Yahoo News Grey's Anatomy casts Dirty Dancing icon Jennifer Grey
Dirty Dancing icon Jennifer Grey is joining the cast of Grey's Anatomy for a mysterious multi-episode arc.
The news has been revealed by TV Line, but it is not yet known who Grey will be playing or how long she will be part of the ABC show.
One possibility is that she'll be playing Jo's estranged mother, with actress Camilla Luddington previously confirming that viewers will get to meet her parents this season.
Back in October, Luddington also spoke about the possibility of Katherine Heigl making a return to the show as Izzie, but viewers probably shouldn't hold their breath.
Luddington's character Jo Wilson got married to Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), but a shock Izzie reappearance would be interesting to see as there is history between her and Alex.
"I actually think it's kind of a fun idea," she told PeopleTV. "I just think, it would be juicy. It would bring out maybe a bit of drama.
"But I think it got put to bed last season, because [Alex] did say that he's happy for her, wherever she is and whatever she's doing.
"So I joke about not wanting it to happen, but it would be kind of juicy, wouldn't it?"
We couldn't agree more.
Grey's Anatomy airs on ABC in the US and on Sky Living and NOW TV in the UK.
