In simpler terms, “Grey’s Anatomy” is famous for having some very attractive doctors, and Chris Carmack, who plays the character Link, is one of them. Although we don’t know if Link will survive after the intense Season 21 finale, we’re keeping our fingers crossed. However, it seems that the actor might not be as optimistic, as his wife jokingly noted a noticeable change in his appearance compared to how he looked 20 years ago.
These days Chris Carmack is best known as Atticus Lincoln on Grey’s Anatomy, but a couple of decades ago, he was all “Welcome to the O.C., bitch!” as Luke Ward on Fox’s teen drama. Carmack’s wife Erin Slaver trolled her husband on Instagram, as she panned back and forth between clips of him on The O.C. and his current state:

It’s amusing to witness Chris Carmack in his “offseason” state, given that we anticipate the resumption of Grey’s Anatomy on the 2025 TV schedule this autumn. This contrast is particularly striking when compared to his younger self from the series. However, despite the actor donning a gray robe and casually wiping greasy pizza residue on his T-shirt, fans concurred on a common observation. As Instagram user jennikat.bond expressed it:
“It’s still hard to believe that Chris Carmack is not playing his Grey’s Anatomy character anymore!
Ha! A ratty robe and a piece of pizza cannot hide that man’s hotness!
Other fans couldn’t agree more, as additional comments read:
- Girl you know that man is still hot. – susan.jones.77
- He’s trying to look frumpy but not succeeding much 😂 – mjedge808
- Hell nah he look better now 🤣 OUR husband is so fine – tammyjeanevans
- Not going to lie he looks much better now like a fine wine ❤️ – dardiasavila
- I mean, I get it, but also, he’s still gorgeous! – fire_and_icing
- I think he’s still very handsome! Love him on Greys Anatomy – young_at_heart22
- Still looks like a Disney prince.👏 – luisesp69
In a different wording: It’s acknowledged that Chris Carmack’s charm couldn’t be hidden even with messy hair and a robe, but his character from The O.C., though not as striking as him, was still quite appealing to look at in the past.
Erin Slaver and Chris Carmack have been married since 2018, and this certainly wasn’t the first time she swooned over her husband’s past work. Another hilarious Instagram post saw her recalling his days as an Abercrombie & Fitch model, as you can see below:

OK, why have I never once shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch and I still remember that bag?
It’s quite enjoyable to reminisce about Chris Carmack’s past character on Grey’s Anatomy, rather than speculate about Link’s future. Although the finale hinted that Link and Nurse Linda could have been in the operating room that blew up, we can’t be certain who was at risk because we only witnessed it from a distance.
To clarify, only three doctors have been identified as safe so far: Meredith Grey, who was spotted in the parking lot and has been confirmed for Season 22; Ben Warren, who was observed rushing into the hospital moments after the explosion; and Link’s wife, Jo Wilson, who had already departed.
While we anticipate the fall debut from ABC, you have the opportunity to revisit Chris Carmack’s roles, spanning his past and present, by streaming both “The O.C.” and “Grey’s Anatomy” with a Hulu or Disney+ subscription. Incidentally, “The O.C.” can also be streamed on HBO Max, whereas “Grey’s Anatomy” is accessible on Netflix as well.
