For the past 16 seasons, Grey’s Anatomy has seen many surgeons pass through the doors of Grey Sloan Memorial.
And now, it appears that Meredith and co. have a mystery Irishman in their midst – Dr Cormac Hayes, the hospital’s new head of paediatric surgery.
Played by 37-year-old Dubliner Richard Flood, the actor has previously starred in Shameless, Red Rock and Crossing Lines.
Fans believe that Cormac is being set up as a new love interest for the show’s protagonist, Meredith Grey, as sparks are already flying between the pair.
It appears that Grey’s fans have taken to Dr Hayes, who made his debut in this week’s winter finale.

Dr. Cormac being fine as hell π₯ Mer needs someone who can challenge her to be better and I think he can do it. After all… Cristina is involved in this.
And tbh, I never really liked this Merluca thing.
