Former Grey’s Anatomy co-stars Caterina Scorsone and E.R. Fightmaster recently delighted local fans after being spotted dining together in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The pair visited The Echo, a popular neighborhood eatery located in Hyde Park, stopping by multiple times in mid-June 2026.
Local Connection and Fan Excitement
The trip served as a hometown visit for Fightmaster, a Cincinnati native and graduate of the Seven Hills School.
The staff at The Echo publicly celebrated the actors’ visits on Facebook, writing:
“Is there a Doctor in the house!?!?” The Echo shared on June 21. “Our deep appreciation goes to E.R. Fightmaster and Caterina Scorsone for joining us at The Echo a few times this past week. We’re (especially Tamika!) huge fans of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ so it was quite a thrill to serve our favorite stars!”
From On-Screen Romance to Real-Life Connection
The dining outing follows media reports from earlier in the year confirming the actors’ off-screen relationship. In March 2026, E! News reported that Scorsone and Fightmaster appeared to confirm their real-life romance during a public outing in Los Angeles.
Their real-life relationship comes approximately three years after their on-screen counterparts shared a romantic storyline on the medical drama:
- E.R. Fightmaster made a historic debut on Grey’s Anatomy in October 2021 (Season 18, Episode 3, “Hotter Than Hell”), portraying Dr. Kai Bartley—the series’ first recurring nonbinary doctor.
- Caterina Scorsone portrays fan-favorite neurosurgeon Dr. Amelia Shepherd.
- On screen, Dr. Bartley and Dr. Amelia Shepherd shared a memorable romantic relationship before their characters eventually went their separate ways.
