One Tree Hill fans were thrilled to see one of its stars on Grey’s Anatomy.

Joy Lenz celebrated her guest stint on the show with an Instagram post.
During the winter premiere, Wilson tries to help Jenny escape Stadler’s grasp by telling her about her own abuse in his hands. Sadly, Jenny tells on Wilson and ignores her warning, although her facial expressions showed viewers there’s more to the story.
Joy Lenz is booked for several episodes this season, meaning Stadler and Jenny will be sticking around for a while.
Fans of the actress expressed their joy and horror seeing her in the arm of a man with an abusive history, on Twitter.
@BethanyJoyLenz I have missed you on television. I hope there is more coming in the future. Nice to see you again. #GreysAnatomy #BethanyRocks
