‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Who Did Sydney Sweeney Play in the Show?
Grey’s Anatomy has been on the air for 18 seasons, so it’s not surprising if fans didn’t realize that Sydney Sweeney once made an appearance on the show. Sweeney is now 24 years old, and the actor has made a name for herself in shows like The Handmaid’s Tale and Euphoria. Sweeney’s role in Grey’s Anatomy was brief, so who exactly did she play?
Sydney Sweeney is famous for her role in ‘Euphoria’
Although she is only 24, Sydney Sweeney has been acting for quite some time. In 2018 she landed a role in the 90s comedy TV series Everything Sucks! Since then, shows like The Handmaid’s Tale and The White Lotus have only increased her fame.
Nowadays, Sweeney is perhaps best known for her role in the HBO series Euphoria. Sweeney’s character Cassie Howard is a teenage girl desperate for love, with a reputation she can’t seem to shake. Euphoria was recently renewed for season 3, and it seems more than likely that Sweeney will be back for more.
Sweeney’s current fame didn’t happen overnight. In fact, according to a recent interview with GQ Magazine, she created a five-year business plan at just 12 years old to convince her parents she could make a career out of acting. Sweeney worked hard toward her goals, and one of her first TV appearances was a small role in Grey’s Anatomy.
Who did Sydney Sweeney play in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’?
In 2014, Sydney Sweeney guest-starred as Erin Weaver in Grey’s Anatomy Season 11. One of the patients in this episode, titled “Don’t Let’s Start,” is Erin’s father Jeremy. He is admitted to the hospital with what he believes to be heartburn.
Unfortunately, things aren’t so simple. Initially, it’s not clear what is wrong with Jeremy. In a hurry to get back to work, he agrees to undergo an EGD to try and find out the cause of his symptoms. Tragically, the doctors learn that Jeremy has cancer.
The doctors perform an esophagectomy to try to get rid of cancer, but Jeremy dies during the surgery. Sweeney’s character Erin comforts her distraught and crying mother at the end of the episode. It’s interesting to see Sweeney in a role where she doesn’t even have lines.
