'Grey's Anatomy' to bid farewell to Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew at season's end

Two long time throw associates of ABC's long-running healthcare dilemma Grey's Structure will hold up their lab layers at the end of this season.

Jessica Capshaw, who has performed childrens physician Dr. Phoenix Robbins for the previous 10 periods, and Debbie Attracted, who's showed stress physician Dr. Apr Kepner for nine, leaves the display when Year 14 parcels in May. Their choices were not selected up by ABC Companies, which generates the sequence, several weeks after re-signing celebrity Ellen Pompeo to a wealthy new agreement.

Their figures showed two typically underrepresented groups: Phoenix is a lesbian, and Apr an attentive Religious.

Capshaw, whose revolutionary personality was initially a really like attention for the newly-out Callie Torres (played by the since-departed Sara Ramirez), recognized what her personality became in an Instagram publish Friday.

"For the previous Decade, I have had the unusual benefit of not only enjoying Phoenix Robbins but also being crazily motivated by enjoying her," she had written. "Arizona Robbins is type, brilliant, crazy, informative, strong, lively, intense and really efficient at her job. She was one of the first associates of the LGBTQ group to be showed in a sequence frequent part on system tv. Her effect on the entire globe is long lasting and permanently."

She became a sequence frequent the pick up, and her personality wedded Mark Williams' Dr. Fitzgibbons Avery, with whom she had children and later separated.


In her own publish, Attracted said she had only been informed she was not coming back Wednesday, and had not completely prepared the information. "I'm not prepared to say my thank-yous and give an all-encompassing declaration about my (nine) decades here. That will come later."
