Grey’s Anatomy Taps A Million Little Things Alum Floriana Lima to Deliver a Blast From Owen’s Past

The past is going to come crashing into the present for Grey’s Anatomy doc Owen in Season 21. A Million Little Things vet Floriana Lima has been cast as Nora, a childhood friend of Hunt and sister Megan’s, TVLine has confirmed.

Lima’s character, as first reported by our sister site Deadline, is described as a devoted mom and recent divorcée who is determined to survive not only for her kids’ sake but also so that she can see what her own next chapter holds. That will prove to be no mean feat when her arc begins on the long-running drama in the Thursday, Oct. 3, episode: Dangerous complications have arisen from a routine surgery performed at a hospital other than Grey Sloan.
