Is Giacomo Gianniotti Leaving 'Grey's Anatomy'?

Is Giacomo Gianniotti exiting from Grey’s Anatomy too?

It was just announced that Justin Chambers (Dr. Alex Karev) is leaving the ABC series after 15 years, so fans are on high alert.

The speculation concerning Giacomo – who plays Dr. Andrew DeLuca – started when he posted a series of cryptic messages about a career loss in his Instagram Stories on Thursday (January 9).

“Today I finally accept defeat, to a long battle I have been in for the last couple weeks in my career,” Giacomo wrote. “I took an L, a big L. L stands for LOSS in case you were wondering. I’m devastated. Truly.”

“In the many battles of this war we call life; sometimes you have a winning streak,” he continued. “Battle after battle is won. You get confident. You get cocky. You get comfortable. You lean on your infantry, your generals and captains who have done so well. Your community. You step back. You speak less. You shut one eye. You trust more. And sometimes, not always, because of this you are defeated. [In] life, as many mentors of mine have told me, is a war, made up of many battles that are won and [lost]. This battle was lost, and it was humbling to say the least.”

“For everyone wondering, I am absolutely fine,” Giacomo Gianniotti added. “As I said, just wanted to impart some wisdom form life. That’s all. All is good! Thanks for your concern!”

Good news for fans, though – TV Guide reports that the posts were not about his position on Grey’s Anatomy. Whew!

Grey’s Anatomy returns on January 23 at 9/8c on ABC.
