Danielle Savre Returns as Maya Bishop in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Episode

Danielle Savre is set to reprise her role as Maya Bishop in the Thursday, April 30 episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” on ABC. This appearance marks her first visit to the show since the spin-off “Station 19” concluded in 2024. Savre previously brought Maya to “Grey’s Anatomy” seven times while “Station 19” was still airing.

The episode’s official logline states: “a Station 19 firefighter lands in the ER for severe burn treatment.” Savre shared her excitement on Instagram, posting a video of her script from the episode’s table read with the caption “She’s back.” She also noted, “It’s one thing to bring Maya back to life for the fans, but it’s another to watch the Grey Sloan team strive to do the same for her.”

the episode features a Fox Foundation innovation competition that reunites Meredith and Bailey, meaning Ellen Pompeo will make her first appearance on the show since January. However, Meredith will have bigger things on her mind when Nick is admitted to the hospital after a bridge collapse — the same bridge Owen takes to work every day.

Savre played Maya Bishop for all seven seasons of “Station 19.” She is known for her television roles in the 2007 MTV music drama “Kaya,” the 2016 TLC drama “Too Close to Home,” and the ABC series “Station 19,” as well as her roles in the films “Wild About Harry” and “Boogeyman 2.”
