Former daytime star Laura Allen has kept herself rather busy since leaving All My Children. She's been appearing on everything from House MD to The 4400 to Dirt, and next, the actress will appear on Grey's Anatomy, sources report.

Her background: Someone from Major McHottie's past.

According to Matt Mitovich at TV Guide, Laura Allen will be portraying one of Owen's (Kevin McKidd) former lovers. Hmm. Wonder how Cristina will react to her arrival.
