Grey Sloan Memorial is about to welcome a new face! Last year, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Joy Lenz, best known for her role as Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill, is joining the Grey's Anatomy cast in a guest role for Season 14. This is a big deal for fans of the long-running medical drama, especially after saying goodbye to Martin Henderson, who played Nathan Riggs. Joy will take on the role of Jenny, and she's giving us a sneak peek at what to expect.
What Joy Lenz Has to Say About Her Role
Joy Lenz shared her excitement with Entertainment Tonight, saying, "It's a fantastic character. This storyline is incredibly important." She went on to explain, "I think it's something that will resonate deeply with a lot of people because it addresses an issue that many don't openly discuss. It's going to be meaningful and impactful for viewers." Her character, Jenny, promises to bring a fresh and compelling narrative to the show.
