Her first appearance in the hit medical drama was episode one of season 14. Her last appearance was in episode 20 of season 15.

She appeared in a total of six episodes.

The news of Abigail's return comes shortly after the announcement that Kate Walsh (Dr. Addison Montgomery) will also be returning for the latest season.

Kim Raver returned for several episodes before becoming a series regular again. Last season also saw the returns of Patrick Dempsey (Dr. Derek Shepherd), T.R Knight (Dr. George O'Malley), Chyler Leigh (Dr. Lexie Grey) and Eric Dane (Dr. Mark Sloan).

Abigail first rose to prominence in Mad Men as Don Draper's love interest. She has also recently been seen on ABC's Rebel, Hulu's Reprisal, and NBC's Timeless (season two). 

She has gained a Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Sundance TV's Rectify.

The season 18 premiere of Grey's Anatomy is scheduled for Thursday, September 30th, 9:00pm on ABC.
