Spoiler alert! This story discusses the January 15 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, “Heavy on Me,” which is available to stream with a Hulu subscription.
While much of the Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 fall finale was focused on Jo Wilson’s harrowing birth story, Richard Webber was going through something pretty serious, too, as we learned he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. We got more of that story in “Heavy on Me,” when Catherine Fox called in a friend for a second opinion. That friend was Dr. Laura Kaplan, who — like Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the actor portraying her — has multiple sclerosis. It was Sigler’s first time playing a character with MS, and she asked one thing of Grey’s Anatomy before agreeing to the guest role.
