In 2022, before season 19 of Shonda's long -standing medical series "Gray is anatomy", it began, The deadline It interrupted the news that the play is losing its title gray. According to the exit, Ellen Pompeo, played by Dr. Meredith Gray on the small screen of 2005, withdrew from her leading role and was, at the time, only had to appear in eight episodes of Season 19 to ensure that she could work on other projects, including the then-American series. Then, the fans of "Gray Anatomy" were given two important information about Pompeo's continued involvement: she will continue to tell the series and remain as an executive producer.

Technically, Meredith Gray moves from Seattle to Boston in season 19, but Pompeo is definitely still, from any imaginary metrics, the "Heating Anatomy". She ended up appearing in 10 episodes of Season 19 (including the Meredith episode "Final", "I'll follow the sun"), five episodes of season 20 (shortened due to Hollywood strikes in 2023), and seven episodes in season 21, so why did it go all the time?

We'll get back to that second question, but first, during an interview with Hollywood reporter For "Good American Family", Pompeo - Who, I should say, rarely passes words whenever publicity speaks - it was blunt about why she was holding about the medical drama for so long. "At Gray, you really have the opportunity to be nominated for things in the first few seasons, and so that time has passed," she explained.

Then Pompeo talked about her future as an actor, seemingly hoping she could earn some accolades in various projects. "If I was (chasing) critical recognition, I wouldn't stay so long at Gray," she continued. "So, it wasn't always the most important thing for me, but now that I am doing something new, definitely, it will probably help me in the next chapter of my story - to move from" Gray ", making other roles."

To be absolutely fair here, Pompeo turned into a solid up-to-existant performances like Meredith Gray for two decades and routinely nibbled on EMIS when her (also excellent) co-stars Sandra O and Chandra Wilson received multiple knots, It will never completely reduce the connective tissue between it and "Gray's anatomy".
