Station 19 star Barrett Doss has returned to Twitter ahead of the show’s season six debut following a six-month hiatus.
The 33-year-old actress announced her break from the platform back in April, saying that being on social media exposes her and the cast to “a reasonable amount of criticism”.
Sharing a photo of the cast, she wrote: “There is more than one way to make a family. Love the family in the picture and the family not pictured here. We put our hearts, talent, and time into #station19. Being on social media also means we expose ourselves to a reasonable amount of criticism, but this ain’t fun anymore.”
In a separate tweet, she revealed that she would be taking a break before adding: “I love the passion that this show brings out in the fans of it – I’m a fan too. But I love kindness, positivity, and my own mental health more. So for the moment – love to those who need it.”
The star returned to Twitter on Wednesday with a post about the new series of the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, which airs on Thursday 6 October on ABC.
