Dr Teddy Altman might be returning to Grey's Anatomy in season 14, but don't expect to see Dr Callie Torres back.

Sara Ramirez left her role as Callie in season 12's finale to take "some welcome time off", but with her ex-love Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) losing her love interest Eliza, the door is open for a possible return for Callie.

But that's not happening anytime soon.

"There are no plans at the moment. We love her and we miss her, [but] there's been no discussion of it," executive producer Debbie Allen told TVLine of a possible return for Ramirez.

Since leaving the show, Ramirez has called out ABC for airing a joke mocking bisexual people on sitcom The Real O'Neals.

Ramirez, who identifies as bisexual, urged her followers on Twitter to sign a petition that accused the network of biphobia by sharing a link and writing that "WORDS MATTER".

Earlier this year, Capshaw had spoken about the possible return of Arizona's ex-love to Grey Sloan Memorial. "I feel like nothing is impossible. There's a great chance she would come back for something," she explained.

Her co-star Giacomo Gianniotti has also been teasing that the new season is "funnier, sexier, lighter" after admitting that the show has been "dreary for a long time".

Grey's Anatomy returns to ABC in the US on September 28. Sky Living airs the show in the UK, with a return date to be announced.
