Ellen Pompeo who’s been the face of the medical drama for almost two decades has made it clear once again she’s ready to let go of her character, Meredith Grey. Speaking to Insider, the celebrity revealed she’s unsuccessfully been trying to focus on convincing everybody that the series should end sooner than later.
“I feel like I’m the super naive one who keeps saying, ‘But what’s the story going to be, what story are we going to tell? And everyone’s like, ‘Who cares, Ellen? It makes a gazillion dollars,'” she shared.
Pompeo has remained in the show which has been airing for 17 years already, and she’s seen many original cast members leave the medical drama which is now in its 18th season. Her character had outstood major challenges including COVID and the death of her husband, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey).
