Richard plays a guy named Cormac Hayes, who just came around for season 16. His character plays the new head of pediatric surgery after Alex Karev got fired and is working with the competitor. On his first day, we find out that his wife died, and the doctors in that situation weren’t transparent with them. His philosophy is to be completely open with his patients. This creates a bit of tension between him and Meredith Grey, who end up working things out.
