In 2012, Dane announced he would be leaving Grey’s after a successful six-season run.
“I am extremely grateful to everyone at Grey‘s, ABC and Shondaland for the experience and memories I have had over the course of this run,” told TVLine in a statement. “It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes.”
“After much consideration and conversations, he and I have decided that this is the right time for his storyline to end,” show creator Shonda Rhimes told TVLine at the time. “We’re a big family here at Grey‘s with a long history together and Eric will always remain an important part of our family.”
Dane’s character was involved in a deadly plane crash in season 11 and died at the beginning of season 12.
Grey’s Anatomy airs Thursdays (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.
