Grey’s Anatomy is one of the longest-running TV shows in history, with 19 seasons and counting. The medical drama has introduced many characters over the years, some of whom have become fan favorites and others who have left the show in tragic or dramatic ways.
One of the newest additions to the cast is Lucas Adams, played by Niko Terho. Lucas is one of the interns at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, who joined the show in Season 19. He is confident, charming and has a family connection to one of the most beloved characters on the show: Derek Shepherd.
But how is Lucas Adams related to Amelia, Derek’s sister and one of the main surgeons on Grey’s Anatomy? That’s a question that many fans have been asking since his debut, and one that has not been answered yet.

Who is Lucas Adams?
Lucas Adams is a young doctor who graduated from Harvard Medical School and joined Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital as an intern in Season 19. He is part of a new class of interns that includes Mika Yasuda, Jules Millin, Simone Griffith and Benson “Blue” Kwan.
Lucas quickly stands out among his peers for his skills and charisma. He is chosen to scrub in for a surgery with Meredith Grey and Amelia Shepherd, two of the most renowned doctors on the show. He also sparks a romantic interest with Simone Griffith, another intern who has ADHD like him.
Lucas seems to have a bright future ahead of him, but he also has a secret that he hasn’t revealed to anyone yet: he is Derek Shepherd’s nephew.
Derek Shepherd, also known as McDreamy, was one of the original characters on Grey’s Anatomy. He was a brilliant neurosurgeon and the love interest of Meredith Grey, the titular character of the show. He was also Amelia Shepherd’s brother and one of four siblings in the Shepherd family.
Derek died in Season 11 after being involved in a car accident. His death was a devastating blow for Meredith, Amelia and his fans. However, he has appeared in flashbacks and dream sequences since then, showing that his legacy lives on.
In Season 19, it was revealed that Lucas Adams is Derek’s nephew and Amelia’s cousin. This was a shocking twist for many viewers, who didn’t expect to see another member of the Shepherd family on the show.
The revelation came at the end of the first episode of Season 19, when Lucas uttered Derek’s famous catchphrase: “It’s a beautiful day to save lives.” Amelia then told Meredith: “Derek was a god to him. And Lucas was Derek’s favorite nephew.”
However, Lucas hasn’t told anyone else about his relation to Derek and Amelia yet. He seems to want to keep it a secret for now, perhaps because he doesn’t want to be compared to his uncle or because he wants to make his own name in the hospital.
Who is Lucas Adams’ mother?
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Lucas Adams is who his mother is. Derek had four sisters: Nancy, Kathleen, Liz and Amelia. We already know that Amelia is not his mother, but it could be any of the other three.
Nancy Shepherd was the first sister we met on Grey’s Anatomy. She appeared in Season 3 and Season 15. She was a gynecologist who lived in Connecticut and had four children. She was very judgmental of Meredith and had a crush on Mark Sloan.
Kathleen Shepherd was the second sister we met on Grey’s Anatomy. She appeared in Season 15. She was a psychiatrist who lived in New York and had two children. She was very critical of Amelia and her addiction issues.
Liz Shepherd was the third sister we met on Grey’s Anatomy. She appeared in Season 9. She was an obstetrician who lived in Florida and had one child. She donated nerves to Derek after his plane crash injury and helped him recover.
Amelia Shepherd is the fourth and youngest sister we met on Grey’s Anatomy. She has been a regular character since Season 7. She is also a neurosurgeon who works at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and has one child with Owen Hunt.
So far, Grey’s Anatomy has not revealed which of these sisters is Lucas’ mother. Some fans have speculated that it could be Nancy, since Lucas said he was from Connecticut in Season 19. Others have suggested that it could be Liz, since she had a close bond with Derek.
However, there is also a possibility that Lucas’ mother is someone we haven’t met yet. Maybe Derek had another sister that we don’t know about, or maybe Lucas is adopted or has a different father. The show could surprise us with a twist that we didn’t see coming.
When will we find out more about Lucas Adams?
Grey’s Anatomy has not given us much information about Lucas Adams’ background and family yet. We only know that he is Derek’s nephew and Amelia’s cousin, but we don’t know who his mother is or why he decided to become a doctor.
However, we might get some answers soon. In the trailer for the third episode of Season 19, titled “Let’s Talk About Sex,” we see the return of Kate Walsh, who is reprising her role as Addison Montgomery.
Addison was Derek’s ex-wife and a former colleague of Meredith and Amelia. She was also a close friend of Derek’s sisters and might know more about Lucas’ mother. Maybe she will reveal some clues or even introduce us to her.
We also hope that Lucas will open up more about his family and his feelings to Simone, his love interest, or to Meredith and Amelia, his mentors. We are curious to see how his relation to Derek will affect his career and his relationships on the show.
Lucas Adams is a new and intriguing character on Grey’s Anatomy, who has a lot of potential and mystery. We can’t wait to learn more about him and his connection to the Shepherd family.
