Four-time Tony winner for Broadway, Audra McDonald was cast as Dr. Naomi Bennet, which was played by Merrin Dungey during the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off.
The replacement was said to be a sort of “fine-tuning” for the show. I’m not really sure what that meant.
Last I heard, they were looking for someone who had a better chemistry with Kate Walsh.
Hmm… Does that mean that Merrin Dungey didn’t connect well with Kate Walsh? Was there a sort of argument?
I’m trying to find out but so far, the sites I’ve visited makes no mention of this.
