“Grey’s Anatomy” brought back another iconic character.

After the surprise return of Dr Derek Shepherd from Patrick Dempsey, Dr George O’Malley also made a brief comeback.

TR Knight played George for the show’s first five seasons before his character’s tragic death, leaving the staff at Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital shaken and devastated.

In Thursday’s episode, George had a sweet reunion with Meredith Gray in a dreamy beach scenery.

“Sea? he asks his old friend. “What are you doing here?”

The pair of buddies then spend time catching up on the events of the past few seasons, including the birth of Meredith’s three children, whom he congratulates.

“You haven’t met them,” Meredith said.

Later George asked, “Are you still dancing?”

The question referred to Meredith’s habit of dancing away from her stress with another close friend, Cristina, played by Sandra Oh.

“No, not that much,” Meredith admits, because Oh’s Cristina hasn’t appeared since 2014.

“She’s not dead,” says George. “That’s what I miss in life. Dancing … laughing until you cry, the food … the crunch of cereal when eaten out of the box … the feeling of clean sheets at the end of a long day. “

Two main characters – James Pickens Jr.’s Dr Richard Webber and Chandra Wilson’s Dr Miranda Bailey – then join Meredith and George for a few moments.

Fans were thrilled with the classic character’s return, but his visit also left them overwhelmed with emotion.
