Candis Cayne to star in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ in groundbreaking trans storyline
-
Actress/choreographer Candis Cayne is joining the cast of Grey’s Anatomy for what’s being called a “groundbreaking” transgender-themed storyline.
The 14th season will feature a multi-episode arc in which Candis plays a trans patient who arrives at Grey Sloan for vaginoplasty surgery.
The story is based on Hayley Anthony, a transgender woman who helped create a game-changing new procedure alongside Jess Ting, the director of surgery at the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Mount Sinai.
Showrunner Krista Vernoff tells The Hollywood Reporter, “The surgery revolutionizes the making of a vagina and we thought that was a really cool story, and Candis is playing a character inspired by something we read.”
