Is Meredith Grey leaving Grey’s Anatomy? Recently, star Ellen Pompeo spoke with EW about her future on the ABC TV show.
Pompeo has played Dr. Meredith Grey on the long-running medical drama since it premiered in 2005. The cast also includes Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Drew, Jesse Williams, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, Kelly McCreary, Jason George, and Martin Henderson.
In the interview, Pompeo said she thinks Grey’s Anatomy is nearing its end and she’s looking for a change:
I’m clearly not prepared right now to make any formal announcement about what my future is on the show, but I am really feeling like we have told the majority of the stories that we can tell. It’s about time that I mix it up. I’m definitely looking for a change.”
It’s unclear when/if Pompeo will leave the ABC series, but her contract runs through season 16 which is slated to end in 2020.
Season 15 of Grey’s Anatomy premieres on September 27th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Do you watch Grey’s Anatomy? Would you watch without Pompeo?
I hope Ellen Pompoe doesn’t leave but maybe a new writer comes aboard as some story lines just aren’t working. Now Alex being gone it would be good for the character Cali to come back. The actress that played Christine has her own show Killing Eve but wish she could find away to come back to Grey’s Anatomy that would make up for sll the original characters that have left especially the character Derek. So they really need the Teddy and Owen and the other guy story line needs to come to an end. Either break them up or keep… Read more »
That leaves only three characters that I enjoy watching, Krycek, Webber and Bailey and while I have never missed an episode, I am becoming less enamoured with the characters and don’t think that these three are enough to keep me interested’
I use Roku!
My comment didn’t come out quite right. It should’ve said “people who loved April do not like Maggie.” And “is it possible the show could center…” Perhaps you could fix it or at least post this also? Thank you.
I assume GREYS will end without Ellen Pompeo. Or certainly she thinks it will. Is it possible that Shonda Rimes would continue it with someone else? Maggie? People don’t like her very much it seems. People who love the April do not like Maggie. I like her. I don’t feel the same chemistry between Maggie and Jackson as between April and Jackson, however.
I wonder whether the show could send her around Maggie and Amelia without Meredith. I rather doubt that this could happen though.
No way, Maggie and Amelia-Yuck!! How about Justin-Alex, he’s been there since the beginning and now he’s the Chief-haha. That I would continue to watch.
I have been watching for many many years and will I don’t like when key people leave but I will watch unless the story line sucks.
