Chyler Leigh | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Chyler Leigh‘s return to Grey’s Anatomy was announced last week and she had another special guest star alongside her during the latest episode.

Fans were shocked when they saw who showed up on Meredith Grey’s beach during the April 1 episode and we have some interesting details about how the scenes were filmed.

Chyler wasn’t able to make it to the set with Ellen Pompeo and the other special guest star, so they had to figure out how to film the scenes separately.

There was a big surprise during the latest Grey’s Anatomy episode when not one, but two fan favorite characters returned to the series!

We already knew about one of them coming back, but the other one was a complete surprise. Both of them had previously died in past seasons.

Throughout the season, Ellen Pompeo‘s character Meredith Grey has been reuniting with several of the show’s dead character on a magical beach that has been described as an “in between place” while she battles COVID-19.

The other characters that have already returned during season 17 are Patrick Dempsey‘s Derek and T.R. Knight‘s George. Living characters like Chandra Wilson‘s Bailey and James Pickens Jr.‘s Richard have also popped up at the beach.

Supergirl and Grey’s Anatomy actress Chyler Leigh is speaking about her sexuality for the first time, and while she did not specify how she identifies, fans are showing their support.

“When I was told that my [Supergirl] character was to come out in season 2, a flurry of thoughts and emotions flew through and around me because of the responsibility I personally felt to authentically represent Alex’s journey,” the-38-year-old actress wrote in a blog for Create Change. “What I didn’t realize was how the scene where she finally confessed her truth would leap off the pages of the script and genuinely become a variation of my own. IRL.”

“My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest each take we filmed, every time presenting another opportunity to get those honest words out of my mouth. Though they don’t exactly match my personal dialogue, the heart behind it surely did. From the director, the press, the media, the cast, and the fans, I’m still told that it was the most realistic coming out scene they’d ever witnessed. And to steal from Alex’s words, that’s because there’s some truth to what she said about me,” she added.

“It’s been a long and lonely road for both my husband and myself but I can whole-heartedly say that after all these years, he and I are still discovering the depths of ourselves and each other,” she added. “But throughout our journey we’ve learned to be proud of who we are, no matter the cost.”

Chyler has been married to her husband Nathan West since 2012 and they share three kids.

A few months ago, Chyler revealed a diagnosis she had received.

Chyler Leigh is opening up about her diagnosis with bipolar disorder for the first time.

The 37-year-old Supergirl actress was diagnosed with the disorder almost 10 years ago, but she is speaking publicly about it for the first time.

Chyler told People about her “very, very difficult journey” to manage the disorder, which her mom also faced while she was growing up.

“My mother was diagnosed with — at the time they were calling it manic depression — and I saw such an extreme version,” she said. “Because I saw what happens when you aren’t advocating for yourself or taking care of yourself, when I first got the bipolar diagnosis it was sort of like, ‘Oh my gosh, if that was me, how on Earth am I going to deal with this?’ Am I in the same place? Am I equipped? Do I have what it takes to actually really genuinely take care of myself?’”

Chyler talked about how her kids are also dealing with mental health conditions.

“We have three kids that are also living with either a mental health condition — we have ADHD, we have Asperger’s, high-functioning autism — that’s all of my three kids. So that, [and my] career, trying to make [our] marriage work, dealing with all these symptoms and not knowing what to do with it, that’s where I kinda hit my breaking point and I shut down completely,” she said. “During that point, right before I was diagnosed, I was like, ‘I’m drowning, I’m drowning.’”

Chyler is speaking out as part of the Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health campaign.

“I’ve always been a very kind of private person,” she said. “I think mostly because of being afraid of having my story out there and being labeled as anything because there is very often such a negative stigma about it. That fear of judgment and ‘Oh, if people see me this way, that means that I’m not good enough or I’m not well enough to be able to take care of myself’ or whatever it might be. But, being able to have a fantastic platform to be able to speak my story and know that it’s going to reach a tremendous amount of people, that was major motivation for me [to speak out].”
