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.
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!)
