Jesse Williams, the hottie with the green eyes on Grey’s Anatomy is leaving after 12 freakin’ seasons. So with no McDreamy, no McSteamy and now no Dr. Jackson Avery, what eye candy are we supposed to look at now?
In the latest episode of ‘Look Up Child’, it’s revealed that Dr. Jackson Avery is checking out of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital for good. Williams’ last episode will be ‘Tradition’, which airs on May 20 in the US, according to Deadline.
“Jesse Williams is an extraordinary artist and activist. Watching his evolution these past 11 years both on screen and off has been a true gift,” Grey’s Anatomy executive producer Krista Vernoff said in a statement to Deadline.
“Jesse brings so much heart, such depth of care, and so much intelligence to his work. We will miss Jesse terribly and we will miss Jackson Avery — played to perfection for so many years.”
Williams first appeared on Grey’s Anatomy in 2009, where he caught my eye at as a mere 12 year old. Since launching a very successful acting career, Williams has gone onto direct and produce a number of TV shows and films. Most notably, Williams produced the Oscar-winning short Two Distant Strangers (2020).
“As an actor, director and person, I have been obscenely lucky to learn so much from so many and I thank our beautiful fans, who breathe so much energy and appreciation into our shared worlds,” Williams said in a statement to E!News.
“The experience and endurance born of creating nearly 300 hours of leading global television is a gift I’ll carry always. I am immensely proud of our work, our impact and to be moving forward with so many tools, opportunities, allies and dear friends.”
Anyway, here’s a clip of Jackson Avery’s hottest moments from Grey’s Anatomy because we’ll be missing more than those gorgeous eyes.
We’ll miss you Dr. Avery.
