==Notes and Trivia==
*Sarah has become close friends with Caterina Scorsone. They also hang out outside of work.
*Sarah didn't audition for the role of April. She was cast on a ShondaLand pilot that didn't get picked up, but Shonda asked her to guest star on Grey's for a two-episode arc. The morning after the episode where April gets fired aired, Sarah got a call from her agent to inform her they were interested in bringing her back.
*Sarah shadowed Chandra Wilson while she was directing episode 14.03 and later made her directorial debut on the webisode series Grey's Anatomy: B-Team.
*If she could bring any dead character back, Sarah said she would bring back Lexie Grey.
*She is a Presbyterian.
*On March 8, 2018, it was announced that the producers had not picked up Sarah's option for the fifteenth season, meaning season fourteen was her last season as part of the main cast. The same happened to Jessica Capshaw.
**Sarah herself was only told two days before, on March 6.
**On March 19, 2018, a plane with a banner reading "We <3 Sarah Drew & Jessica Capshaw" flew over set during lunch. The plane was sent by fans as a reaction to the two actresses leaving at the end of the season.
**Her last day of filming was April 19, 2018.
*She would later reunite with Justin Bruening, who played her onscreen ex-husband Matthew Taylor in the 2018 film Indivisible which she also executive produced.
*She remains close friends with Jesse Williams.
