Irish Grey's Anatomy fans will be delighted to hear that Dublin actor Richard Flood, who has joined the cast as Dr Cormac Hayes, look set to become a permanent fixture on the show as a possible love interest for Meredith Grey.
The 37-year-old Red Rock actor made his first appearance in the episode Let's All Go to the Bar as the "package". Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) best friend Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) sent her a text asking her had she received "the package" and in a later text referred to him as "Mc Widow".

Meredith's former husband Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) who died was called Mc Dreamy. Of course, the actor may be replacing Karev, who played Meredith's best friend up until his shock announcement that he would be leaving this series.
Fans of Grey's are particularly intrigued as Cristina Yang recommended this surgeon. Viewers are now hoping that, despite having left the show in season 10, that the Killing Eve actress may make a return.
The show recently donated all it's PPE gear to hospitals in the fight against Covid-19.
