Who started it, Where it all began and Where it's at now....

             It all started with Shonda Rhimes. The Creator, head writer, and executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy is also known for being the creator of a few other top ABC shows like Scandal which is still ongoing and Private Practice which just so happens to be a spinoff of Grey’s Anatomy and ended in 2013. She’s also known for her directing, screenwriting and producing in other shows and movies.
                Although I can say I absolutely adore her work I also should point out that I absolutely hate her with a passion sometimes. It’s fair to say that when you get into anything a show, a movie and so on you easily get upset over the smallest things that go wrong and that in my case is why at times I just can’t stand her. She’s killed off or “sent away” so many of the original cast that you can count them all on one hand. On the other hand this has also made the show grow and you’ve seen how events have made the characters change over time.
                At the beginning you had the original main cast which was, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), George O’Malley (T.R. Knight), Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), Richard Weber ( James Pickens Jr) and Addison Montgomery-Shepherd (Kate Walsh.
                In the coming up season 12 the only original cast on the show is Meredith Grey, Alex Karev, Miranda Bailey, and Richard Weber. This is because Derek, Izzie, and George all died. Cristina, Preston and Addison all moved away. Although so many people left the show there has been so many new people added and died off and added. I feel like it has made the show grow but sooner or later is there not going to be any of the original cast left? Then what will happen? Are just some of the questions I have and who really knows if we’ll get the answer to that in the near future or not.

                This leads me into where season 11 left off at. This season put me on an emotional roller coaster. Derek Shepherd, Dr. “McDreamy” Meredith’s Husband died from a terrible car accident that caused him to be put on a ventilator to be able to breathe due to a brain injury. Meredith had to make the hard decision to “pull the plug” and she did it all alone she called no one which caused drama back home when she got back to Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. After the funeral the show did a fast recap of what life was like over the next year. She leaves with the kids and only keeps in contact with Alex barely. Before he died they got pregnant with their third child and in the recap she gave birth to a little girl she named after her mother. When Meredith returns to Seattle she as some drama to deal with by Derek’s Sister who is also a surgeon and is mad that she didn’t get a call and didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. In the next season I think we will get to see how Meredith adapts to life without Derek as well as the rest of the cast.  There was also talk of a new doctor joining the show.

  1. I love Grey's Anatomy. I also watched the Private Practice series, which was amazing. I was so angry when they killed Derek off of the show, as well as all of the other people who were killed off or sent away (like Christina!)
