Patrick Dempsey made his memorable and surprise return to the ABC medical drama at the end of the Season 17 premiere, after Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) fell into a COVID-induced coma.
Now Dempsey is on the ballot for the guest actor category, along with T.R. Knight, who also made a surprise return in the latest season.
According to Gold Derby, the last time an actor on Grey’s Anatomy was recognized in the category was in 2006.
The actor portrayed Dr. Derek Shepherd for the show’s first 11 seasons before his character ultimately died from a car crash.
