As fans of the venerable ABC medical drama know, Karev was sacked in last season’s finale, and has since segued to Pacific Northwest General Hospital (where he is working with Richard, who also got fired from Grey Sloan). Flood’s first episode is set to air later this season.
On Shameless, Flood played the boyfriend of Emmy Rossum’s Fiona in Seasons 8 and 9. Although current Grey’s showrunner Krista Vernoff previously served as an exec producer on Shameless, her stint did not overlap with Flood’s.
