Many Grey’s Anatomy fans have been tuning in to Ellen Pompeo’s new Hulu series to see their gal in action, but it’s left many distracted by one thing.

Watch the trailer below:

Pompeo stars in Good American Family, which is based on the seriously disturbing true stories surrounding a Midwestern couple who adopted a girl named Natalia Grace (Imogen Reid), who has a rare form of dwarfism known as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita.

As Kristine (Pompeo) and Michael (Mark Duplass) raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and the family slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is.

As the parents 'defend their family from the daughter they've grown to believe is a threat', she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom.

After starting the series, many people have found themselves thinking the same thing... yep, they just can’t get Pompeo’s most famous previous role out of their minds.

“They got my girl Meredith in a horror movie on HULU,” one joked on X.

Another said: “I just started watching the Good American Family on Hulu and it’s so weird to see Ellen Pompeo in any role except Meredith Grey.”

Others even saw that iconic walk: “The way I’m not even a minute in to Good American Family and Ellen already is doing the Meredith Grey strut she is the moment.”

While it’s taking some viewers a moment to get over the Grey’s association, others have said they’re finding the series suitably chilling.

“Nah #GoodAmericanFamily is creepy af,” one wrote.

“#GoodAmericanFamily on Hulu is scarier than any horror movie they’ve ever released omfg YIKES,” another agreed.

A third added: “Ok Good American Family on Hulu is insane lmaoo.”

That 'strut' is so memorable that Pompeo's fans were able to recognise it as hers when she was teased as the new mystery guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

After she was finally unveiled, she didn't disappoint fans of the medical drama as she discussed everything from its most iconic moments to awkward conversations around salary - and lots of other behind-the-scenes tea.
