The publication reports, "Kane’s Jules Millin was raised by drug addled artist/hippies and somehow emerged as the only real grown-up in the family. Because she always had to take care of herself and her parents, she can be a little bossy – but her heart is always in the right place.

"She’s not afraid to break the rules to save a life, and sometimes it gets her in trouble."

Fans were excited for Adelaide, with one user writing, "Now I’m down to watch Grey's Anatomy."

"What? My favourite actor in my favourite show," another added.

"OMG! Yes! Love Grey's Anatomy, now I get to see you on it," a third wrote. "So happy for this news. Congrats!"

"Omggg now I actually have to catch up on years of Grey's that I've missed so I can watch you," someone else added.

Adelaide is best known for her role as Mary, Queen of Scots, in the historical drama Reign after starting her career on Neighbours in 2007 as Lolly Allen.

She also recently starred in Once Upon A Time and appeared in Teen Wolf, This Is Us, and The Purge.
