It’s been 10 years since Grey’s Anatomy pulled off one of its saddest character deaths ever. In Season 12, Wilmer Valderrama guest-starred in a handful of episodes as Kyle Diaz, a guitarist whose MS-related hand tremors brought him to the hospital for treatment.

One of his doctors was Stephanie Edwards (Jerrika Hinton), and she grew close to him as he underwent a deep-brain stimulation procedure by Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone). Memorably, Kyle’s surgery required him to play the guitar during the operation so they could monitor for brain bleeds along the way.
