As rumors continue to swirl surrounding ABC possibly canceling
Grey s Anatomy instead of renewing it for Season 18, the producers are continuing to populate Season 17 with familiar faces from the hit drama s past. (Even while sometimes killing other longtime characters off.)

Thankfully, fans didn t have to wait until her episode s premiere in order to get a hint of April s reunion with Jesse Williams Jackson Avery.
Looks like Sarah Drew has no problem getting everyone pumped to see April and Jackson together again, even if it s not a permanent fix. Check out her picture-perfect Instagram post below, which fans were absolutely ecstatic to see.
