Who is Richard Webber in Grey's Anatomy?
The chief, with the history nobody mentions · Attendings & Chiefs
Richard Webber (The chief, with the history nobody mentions) is a character in Grey's Anatomy, part of Attendings & Chiefs. Richard Webber runs Seattle Grace as its longest-serving chief of surgery, carrying two open secrets with one straight face: an affair, decades old, with Ellis Grey — making his mentorship of her daughter the show's most loaded relationship — and a sobriety he rebuilt once and must guard forever. Webber is the institutional memory of the entire series: chief, teacher, relapse, redemption, husband to Catherine Fox, and the man whose lecture on a dime in a chest cavity still defines the hospital's soul.
