Grey’s Anatomy Star Natalie Morales Will Go From Being Recurring To Core Cast Member In Season 21; Details Inside

As a devoted fan with a penchant for absorbing every detail about my favorite shows, I can confidently say that Natalie Morales‘ addition to Grey’s Anatomy is nothing short of thrilling! Having graced our screens with her presence on Dead to Me, The Morning Show, and Abby, among others, Morales brings a wealth of experience that promises to breathe new life into the long-running ABC drama.


In a guest role during Grey’s Anatomy season 20, Natalie Morales took on the character of the fresh pediatric surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, named Monica Beltran. According to Variety, she has been formally added to the cast of the lengthy ABC series for Season 21.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Morales is set to grace our screens in no less than six episodes, with the potential for even more! In season 20, we see Monica fully immersed in her professional life, but she’s drawn into mentoring Dr. Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli) to help him secure a pediatric fellowship.

Regarding her private affairs, she openly disclosed experiencing a complicated divorce, suggesting a possible romantic entanglement with both Winston (Anthony Hill) and Amelia (Caterina Scorsone). This setup hints at a potentially destructive love triangle.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d describe Dr. Beltran in this way: In my professional opinion, she’s a highly skilled pediatric surgeon, consistently excelling in her field. She’s admired for her practical wisdom and calm demeanor, which make her interactions with patients particularly effective. Yet, there seems to be a difference in perspectives when it comes to working with her colleagues. However, what truly sets Dr. Beltran apart is her unyielding dedication to the well-being of her young patients. She’s known to go above and beyond to ensure their health and happiness.

Morales boasts an impressive list of credits, which includes roles on television shows such as Dead to Me, The Morning Show, Abby, Bojack Horseman, The Newsroom, and Girls, among others. She has been the lead in movies like Netflix’s No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawrence, Self-Reliance, and My Dead Friend Zoe, among others.

For the next season of the ABC Network series created by Shonda Rhimes, Ellen Pompeo will once again play Meredith Grey. Alongside her, Chandra Wilson portrays Dr. Miranda Bailey, James Pickens Jr. takes on Dr. Richard Webber, Kevin McKidd plays Dr. Owen Hunt, and Kim Raver assumes the role of Dr. Teddy Altman. Many more actors will also be featured.

Grey’s Anatomy season 21 will premiere on ABC on September 26.
