[post_page_title]Adrianne Palicki as Kelly Grayson[/post_page_title]
Portrayed by Adrianne Palicki, Commander Kelly Grayson was actually the one to recommend her ex-husband – who she cheated on with an alien – be the one to command the Orville stating that, despite his recent setbacks, he deserved it.
Little did Mercer know at the time, however, that his ex would be the ship’s first officer. Luckily, the formerly married couple agree to put their differences aside, in order to work together as a team and stay friends.
