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.
