Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh is paying tribute to her former onscreen love interest, Eric Dane, in the wake of his death.

Posting via her Instagram on Friday, February 20, Walsh honored her costar after he died on Thursday at age 53 following a battle with ALS.

“I’m at a loss for words to try to express the sadness around Eric’s passing,” Walsh, 58, wrote alongside a carousel of photos that featured Dane, herself and fellow Grey’s cast members.

The actress began her tribute by sharing her condolences to Dane’s daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14 and the mother of his children, Rebecca Gayheart.

“First and foremost I am thinking of his girls and Rebecca and holding them in my prayers and my heart,” Walsh wrote.

Walsh played Dr. Addison Montgomery in the medical drama. Her character’s romance with Dane’s character Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan was a major plot point in early seasons of the show.

In her tribute post, Walsh reflected on her memories shooting alongside Dane as she complimented his real-life personality.

“I literally remember my very first scene with Eric…an elevator scene at Seattle Greys 😊 So, so long ago. I believe it was his first scene on the show too and he was nervous. He was so handsome and I thought ‘but can this guy act?’ 😂 and of course he could, and did, and the rest is history,” Walsh wrote.

She continued, “One of the things I loved about Eric was his sensitivity and vulnerability, (and intelligence, of course) but he had the gravitas & old soul that made his work magnetic and made him a great friend off set. In those early days of Grey’s, as with most network tv shows, we spent more time with each other than with anyone else and so we became a family of sorts and Eric was such a source of support and love.”

Walsh ended the post by urging her followers to help organizations trying to find a cure for the debilitating disease.

“ALS is an awful disease & too many people have lost loved ones to it. I know it was Eric’s mission to help find a cure. I would encourage you to look into @targetals in his memory. 🕊️,” she wrote.

Dane’s family confirmed via a statement on Thursday that the Euphoria star died following a battle with ALS.

“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the statement read. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.”

The statement concluded: “Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”

Dane appeared on Grey’s Anatomy from 2006 to 2012 before returning for a surprise appearance in 2021.

He publicly announced he had been diagnosed with ALS via People in April 2025.

For a series that built its fandom online, the next growth move is simple: remove friction. Since this anime has always thrived on discovery — clips, edits, character moments, the whole paywall-free binge framing feels strangely out of place. That’s why this kind of platform placement matters: it turns a title people know about into a title people can start immediately, and all of it.

The official channel for the franchise on X shared a looping GIF that cycles through the four core heroines, each framed with their signature color and emblem energy, like a quick reminder of the show’s identity: style-forward action, tight team dynamics, and character-first momentum. It’s also a smart fit for Pluto’s audience, where what’s-on-now discovery still drives viewing. A curated push + familiar iconography is how you spark rewatchers and convert first-timers who’ve seen the names (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang) but never hit play.

While only RWBY Volume 1 is now streaming on Pluto TV, the remaining volumes are rolling out across the week. And to accelerate the catch-up wave, Pluto is also running an all-day RWBY marathon on the app across 2/21 and 2/22, a programmed “start here and stay here” window designed to turn curiosity into a full-season binge.

‘RWBY’ Has Had a Tough Journey, But It’s Still Going Strong

RWBY launched in 2012 under Monty Oum and grew from short, web-first episodes into a long-running franchise built around Volumes (seasons). After Oum’s death on February 1, 2015, the team continued production, and the main series has since reached 9 volumes / 117 episodes (as of March 2024). Along the way, it expanded into side projects like RWBY Chibi, the Japanese anime adaptation RWBY: Ice Queendom, and the Justice League x RWBY crossover films.

The franchise hit another turning point when Rooster Teeth shut down, and VIZ Media acquired RWBY in 2024; VIZ says there’s no confirmed new season release date yet, but showrunner Kerry Shawcross will be involved in what comes next.

The most immediate what’s-next, however, is availability: RWBY is rolling out on Pluto TV, with an all-day marathon scheduled for 2/21–2/22. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Kelley Wolf has reunited with estranged husband Scott Wolf and their three kids at Universal Studios after a restraining order was dropped against her.

In a joint Instagram post shared on Friday, February 20, Scott, 57, shared a family photo, with himself, Kelley and their three children — Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11 — smiling as they posed in front of the Universal Studios sphere in California.

“2/20/2026. Healing. 💙💙💙💙💙 Thank you @unistudios for an epic day at the park! So much fun! 🙏🏻💛” the post’s caption read.

The family day out comes after a judge dismissed Scott’s case against Kelley, 49, last month that accused her of  allegedly violating a restraining order.

Over the years, many celebrity couples have had on and off relationships that ultimately ended in divorce — but wasn’t always made legal the first time around. Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin were married for 25 years until she filed for divorce in August 2022. “I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing […]

The motion was granted by a Utah judge on January 27 after the Summit County District Attorney’s Office filed to dismiss the case without prejudice, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on January 29. The decision was made “as part of a global resolution” alongside a request to dismiss a separate case against Kelley over allegedly harassing Scott.

Scott and Kelley, who tied the knot in 2004, have been embroiled in legal drama since announcing their separation in June 2025.

“After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,” Scott said in a statement to People at the time. “Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.”

For her part, Kelley shared the divorce news by posting her own statement via Instagram at the same time.

“It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage. This has been a long, quiet journey for me — rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I’ve done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion,” Kelley wrote.

She added, “We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their wellbeing — and my own healing. That will never change. I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection — with grace. Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love.”

Later that month, Us confirmed that Kelley had been detained by authorities and subsequently hospitalized. Following her release, Scott was granted a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife. The Doc star was also awarded full physical custody of their kids, and sole use and possession of their family home in Utah.

In August, Kelley was arrested for electronic communication harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information. In a hearing the following month, Kelley told a judge that she planned to get mental health treatment.

Last month, Scott reflected on a difficult 12 months as he marked the new year with a poignant Instagram post.

“2025 Recap. Grateful for the hardest year of my life,” Scott captioned an Instagram carousel of photos of his three children with Kelley. “The curriculum was brutal for those I love most. There was suffering, learning, growing, loving, laughing, crying. Mostly learning and growing. In other words, life. I think we passed.”

Scott further reflected, “I love my people more than ever. I love people more than ever. I love my work more than ever. So the hardest year brought the most love. Life indeed. Wishing you all a 2026 full of love.”
