Yahoo News Grey's Anatomy is losing one of its series regulars
Grey's Anatomy is losing one of its series regulars for season 14.
TVLine reports that Jerrika Hinton, who has played Dr Stephanie Edwards since 2012, won't be back as a regular next season, but it is not yet known if she'll be back as a guest star.
Digital Spy has reached out to ABC for confirmation.
ABC hasn't even officially renewed the medical drama for a 14th season, but it seems pretty likely that we will be returning to Seattle Grace Hospital for another run.
It's perhaps no surprise that Hinton is leaving the show given that she has recently been cast in True Blood creator Alan Ball's new drama series for HBO, alongside Scream's Sosie Bacon and Fear the Walking Dead's Daniel Zovatto.
Last year, Hinton was cast in comedy pilot Toast and was possibly set for a reduced role in Grey's Anatomy, but ABC eventually passed on Toast.
If she does leave Grey's Anatomy, she follows the high profile departures of Patrick Dempsey and Sara Ramirez in recent seasons.
A recent fan theory shed a new heartbreaking light on the whole series to date.
Fans have speculated that the show, when it does end, could finish with the revelation that Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) actually has Alzheimer's disease.
After the pilot episode saw Meredith's voiceover narration become a story she was telling her ailing mother at an assisted living facility, the theory suggests that Meredith's voiceovers since could, in fact, be stories that she's telling her own children in the future.
Grey's Anatomy airs on ABC in the US and Sky Living in the UK.
