Patrick Dempsey is Leaving Grey’s Anatomy
It is a sad day for Grey’s Anatomy fans. Today, Patrick Dempsey called a press conference in Los Angeles to announce his resignation from Grey’s Anatomy effective immediately. Series creator Shonda Rhimes was on hand for the event and told the press, “This is a depressing day indeed for Grey’s fans and McDreamy fans. We will sorely miss Patrick and wish him all the best.�
Patrick told the press he decided to leave the show to focus on his budding film career and his family. He explained that he enjoys the shorter time frame required for making movies over television. Quitting the hit show will allow Patrick and his family to move back East.
Patrick will be seen in one last episode of Grey’s Anatomy that will air this month. SPOILER ALERT – It has been rumored that McDreamy will be in a car accident on his way to work and Bailey, the Chief and Cristina all try desperately to save him. A hysterical Meredith has to be restrained by George and Izzie. In a shocking turn of events, Derek will flat line and will “cross over� and have a chat with Denny and Kyle Chandler (the bomb squad guy) and a play quick game of catch with Doc the dog. He will eventually find his way back while a Jem song plays in the background. When he wakes he tells Meredith he is starting his own practice in Orlando to be close to Disney World. Meredith will then sleep with George again, setting off a series of complications for the rest of the season.

wow. only just read this and its december.
and i was like WTF?
i have recently read reports that dempsey is sick of the show. In a episode he said “i’m sick of death” maybe this is indicating that he is making an exit from the show.
I do wonder what they would do if he left? what would meridith’s character do? i don’t think fans would accept a new love interest for meridith…..
I hope this show goes atleast 10 seasons. It’s my favourite. I think that it should lead into maybe meridith and mark getting drunk one night and they sleep together then that will make a huge story line as mer and der are together and lexi and mark are together.
Then maybe meridith finds shes pregnant and they don;t know who the father is… turns out to be Mcdreamy;s and then she miscarriages this will lead to meridith becoming all dark and surly i like her like that.
what do you think? (lol i know far-fetched my friends)
