Alex Landi plays the Shondaland seri' first gay male surgeon. * gay anatomy cast *

Among the stg chang teed up for this season is the addn of newer Alex Landi, who will play the seri’ first-ever gay male surgeon. We don’t yet know how many episos he’ll be or any further tails about his character, but even the news that a half-Korean, half-Italian man will be the first gay surgeon on the show is stirrg up excement among fans. Introducg a gay male character is pecially huge for gay fans, who n appreciate Landi’s stg on the show multiple ways.

'GREY'S ANATOMY' ACTOR OUT AS GAY

Alex Landi jos 'Grey's Anatomy' season 15 as the seri' first-ever gay male surgeon. * gay anatomy cast *

Other fans lled out how long took Grey’s to troduce a gay male surgeon. Grey's Anatomy has had s fair share of LGBTQ reprentatn over the urse of s 14-year n, but Season 15 will troduce Grey Sloan Memorial's first ever gay male surgeon! It seems kd of bafflg that took Grey's Anatomy this long to troduce a gay male surgeon on the show, pecially sce 's had que a few bisexual and lbian doctors over the years -- Callie Torr (Sara Ramirez), Arizona Robbs (Jsi Capshaw), Eri Hahn (Brooke Smh), Cara DeLu (Stefanie Spampato) and Eliza Mnick (Marika Domczyk) jt to name a few.

It seems wild that gay surgeon hasn't entered the picture until now.

And OK, sure, the long-nng ABC seri had a few gay male patients over the years, but there haven't been any that have had ser stayg power on the show.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GREY'S ANATOMY JT CAST ITS FIRST GAY MALE SURGEON?
