Grey's Anatomy season 21 might finally be the season that addresses one forgotten Winston storyline. Winston Ndugu, played by Anthony Hill, is the Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery in Grey's Anatomy. Hill joined the Grey's Anatomy cast in season 16 and has been a series regular since, engaging in romantic and personal relationships with the other characters and developing several personal storylines as well. Winston's storylines in season 20 have been the most exciting yet.
Since joining the cast, Hill's Winston has played a major role in the lives of those at Grey Sloan Memorial. While Winston has only been a character on Grey's Anatomy for a few years, he does have a history with other Grey's Anatomy characters that precedes his time at Grey Sloan Memorial. He has been a part of several storylines over the years, but one storyline seems to have been pushed to the side. Grey's Anatomy season 21 might be the season that finally gives his character closure.
