Ellen Pompeo plays Meredith Grey,
the main character of the show. It gives you the inside view of her life. She
faced many struggles growing up like seeing her mom pick her job over her and having her family in a mess that has made her both cold in ways but also a
very strong and talented surgeon. From the beginning and who she is in season
12 is a total change from the situations she faced, to falling I love, becoming
a mother and losing those who meant most to her. Although she has changed about
her some things stay the same and one of them being she’s still as strong as
she was from the start.
One of my many favorite scenes of
her would have to be when she tells Derek “I lied. I’m not out of this
relationship. I’m in. I’m so in, it’s humiliating, because here I am, begging…”
and he said her name and she goes “Shut up. You say Meredith and I yell,
remember? Okay. Here it is. Your choice? It’s simple. Her, or me. And I’m sure
she’s really great. But Derek, I love you. In a… really, really big… pretend to
like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a
radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you,
love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me.” This is one of my favorites because
she’s not one to just open up about how she feels but she takes these leaps of
courage and tells him how she feels. In this episode and in a few others she
does this and I admire her for that. It’s not always easy expressing how we
feel about people. In this scene though I’m sure it was even harder for her
because Derek had a choice to make on who he was going to be with and she could
have just gave up but she didn’t she stood up and told him just how she felt
even if he didn’t pick her in the end she needed to tell him just how she felt.
There is so much that I admire about
Ellen Pompeo’s Character personality but Ellen Pompeo herself is an amazing
actress. She acts in a way that is so believable and where you can actually
feel what her character is going through. That’s also the same for many of the
other cast members of the show too. When they leave or go it’s hard to accept.
Derek’s death and Cristina’s leave from the show were tragic losses for fans
and seeing how Meredith handles these situations is what makes it even harder
for the fans. I think that this gives some idea of Ellen’s Character but she’ll
be in many posts to come.
