Three days after ABC announced the 47-year-old actress would be reprising her role as beloved pediatric surgeon Dr. Arizona Robbins, Capshaw shared a photo from the set of the hit medical drama and revealed the date of her return.
“04.04.24,” Capshaw wrote alongside a close-up photo of her donning scrubs, mask and a floral scrub cap.
Her costarCamilla Luddington, who plays OB-GYN resident Jo Wilson, responded in the comment section with a string of diamond and heart emojis.
Hilarie Burton Morgan, who played craniofacial surgeon Lauren Boswell, also teased her own possible return to the series, commenting, “Girl. Meet you in the break room!”
Grey’s Anatomyfans may recall that Lauren and Arizona had one-night stand back in season 9 that put a strain on Arizona’s relationship with her now-ex Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramírez).
ABC did immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment about Burton’s potential return.
