She’ll debut as Helen Karev in the May 3 episode of the medical drama, and it will be the first time that Grey’s Anatomy viewers get to see the character other than flashbacks in the whole entire series.
Lindsay Wagner is best known for her role as Jaime Sommers first on The Six Million Dollar Man and then on The Bionic Woman, but she’ll play a very different kind of character on Grey’s Anatomy.
Her appearance will likely be a pretty big deal for Alex and the show overall, so it’s only fitting that the show landed an iconic TV actress to bring the character to life.
