What Happened To Nathan Riggs in Grey’s Anatomy? Exit Explained

Grey’s Anatomy’s longevity guaranteed new characters would always be introduced and old characters would exit the series, and Nathan Riggs’ story intertwined with many of Grey’s Anatomy’s central characters since his appearance in season 12. Originally getting to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital because of April, who worked with him in Jordan after leaving Seattle following her firstborn Samuel’s death, it became clear early on that Riggs fit right in with the other doctors’ exceptionality at Grey Sloan. Still, Owen’s animosity against him also made clear that they shared a difficult history, making Nathan’s relationship with many at Grey Sloan Memorial tricky at first.
