'Grey's Anatomy' Season 19 on ABC: Who is Caterina Scorsone's Amelia Shepherd?
'Grey's Anatomy' has yet again two new Shepherds to focus on as Derek's and Amelia's nephew Lucas Adams stars as one of the interns in the latest season. Amelia has become one of the great addition to the series since she joined. From the beginning, fans witnessed the sibling rivalry between Derek and Amelia along with how Derek supported her during the drug addiction phase.
Amelia Shepherd, who is portrayed by Caterina Scorsone, made her debut appearance in season three when she visited her former sister-in-law Addison Montgomery and became a partner at the Oceanside Wellness Group. Showrunner Shonda Rhimes then quickly promoted Scorsone to series regular for the fourth season after appearing in the final five episodes of season three. She remained in the series until the final episode. After 'Private Practice' ended its six-season run in January 2013, Scorsone returned to the 'Grey's Anatomy' universe in its parent show, recurring in the final four episodes of the tenth season in 2014. She was then promoted to series regular for season eleven and ever since the actress has appeared as a main cast member for all of its subsequent seven seasons.
