Piper Perabo has joined “Grey’s Anatomy” for a three-episode run in Season 21.
Perabo, a Golden Globe nominee whose credits range from “Coyote Ugly” to “Yellowstone,” will play Jenna Gatlin, a fierce mother who will do anything for her 9-year-old daughter Dylan, who is at Grey Sloan for a high-risk brain surgery.
Perabo first appears in the 16th episode of Season 21, titled “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” which airs on ABC on May 1 at 10 p.m. ET. She returns for Episodes 17 (“Love You Like a Love Song”) and 18 (“How Do I Live”), which is the season finale.
The logline for Episode 16 reads: “Amelia undertakes a high-risk brain surgery on a young patient, while Winston and Jules disagree over how to handle their trauma patient’s family. Jo and Link struggle with wedding planning.”
In the next two episodes, “Jo and Link’s wedding day arrives, along with some visitors. Meanwhile, Teddy and Owen are met with a familiar face seeking treatment, and Lucas disagrees with Simone on how to approach a patient’s worsened condition. … While the interns are excited to transition to second-year residency, an ordinary day at Grey Sloan takes an unexpected turn when a medical emergency unfolds in the operating room, endangering lives inside the hospital.”
Perabo’s breakout role was in the 2000 dramedy “Coyote Ugly,” and from there she starred in the Steve Martin-led “Cheaper by the Dozen” movies, as well as Christopher Nolan’s “The Prestige.” More recently, she can be seen on Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,” Netflix’s “Turn Up Charlie” and the Gerard Butler film “Angel Has Fallen.” She was nominated for a Golden Globe for the USA Network spy drama “Covert Affairs,” and she’s also appeared in “Billions” and “Yellowstone.”
