Along with some other dead characters "Gray Anatomy", including Derek Shepard and George O'Mali, Mark Whether Return during the now infamous story of the 17th Anatomy season to appear on what fans call a "coma beach". The above coma in a coma exists only because the show makes a (frankly confusing) decision to give Meredit a serious enough case of Kovid-19 stuck in a coma and, uh, sees dead people. Anyway, Mark And Lexi Visit the beach and Tell tells Meredith that she has a lot to live and encourage her to continue to fight, and according to Eric Dane, the experience was great.

Talking to The deadline After airing the "breathable" episode, Dane said that then -showner Christa Vernof arrived and asked him to play Mark Sloan again, and he said yes immediately. "I mean, if you ever return Mark Sloan, I guess with Meredith in a coma, that's a good way to see it," Dane laughed. "So it wasn't a tough sale and it made sense." Not only that, but Dane said it is a pleasure to see so many former colleagues and friends again. "It was as if I had never left," he shared. "It was a great day on the beach. It was great to see some of the celebrities and the same crew members and we didn't skip rhythm. I love those people. I spent a significant part of my life with those people; I would do anything for them."

Dane continued to play Cal Jaceces, the father of Nate Jaceces, Nate Jaceces, of the controversial teenage series of the FBO "Euphoria", but in April 2025, he revealed something really shocking: he was diagnosed with Als, no degenerative disorder. In conversation with Diane Sawyer on the Good morning AmericaDane shared: "I feel like maybe a few, a few more months, and I won't even have my left hand (functioning)." Surprisingly, he called the experience "sober".

"At the end of the day, just, all I want to do is spend time with my family and work a little if I can," Dane continued before sharing a promising message: "I think this is the end of my story. I just don't feel like, in my heart, I don't feel like this is the end of me." You can watch Dane as Mark Sloan on the "Heat Anatomy" of Julu and Netflix now, and I actually really recommend doing it.
