Throughout the 16 seasons ofGreys Anatomy, many characters have come and gone. Most recently, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) departed the show, and fans were devastated. However, there is one character who is still a series regular that casual fans often forget about.

WithGreys Anatomycoming into its 17th season on the air, there are only a few series regulars left who have been present since day one. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) is always the star fans think of first since the show is named after her. She was married and widowed throughout her time on the long-running medical drama. In the upcoming season, we may see her find love again.

Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is another character who has outlasted all the rest. Her residents hated her in the early days of the show, but she quickly became another fan-favorite. In the latest season, she had a miscarriage but bonded with a teenage foster boy she later takes home.

Fans worried that James Pickens Jr. was about to depart the show in season 16 when his character, Richard Webber, nearly died. Instead, in the finale, he finally had life-saving surgery and will return for season 17.

Bokhee (Kathy C. An ) is a scrub nurse at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and is often featured in most surgeries. She isnt a prominent cast member and was uncredited until a recent episode because she typically has no lines. According to Greys Anatomy Fandom, An is a scrub nurse in real life and continues to work on open-heart surgeries in Los Angeles.
