The series star of “Grey’s Anatomy,” Ellen Pompeo, has just said goodbye following rumors that she might be departing the long-running medical drama.
Ellen made the revelation on social media on Thursday. She expressed her gratitude and humility for the love and support she has gotten throughout her 19 seasons as Meredith Grey on the ABC drama.
Naturally, Ellen thanked the fans in her farewell message and credited them for making her time on “Grey’s Anatomy” enjoyable and memorable.
As “Grey’s Anatomy” fans are well aware, a teaser for the upcoming midseason premiere shows Ellen’s character bidding her fellow medical professionals farewell as she departs Seattle and moves to Boston. Additionally, Ellen was reportedly going to appear in only eight episodes of the current season 19 of the show; however, she has only made an appearance in 7 episodes so far.
During her lengthy tenure on the show, Ellen participated in over 400 episodes. Despite recent suggestions that she could work again with her old “Grey’s” costar Patrick Dempsey on a new project, Patrick denied the allegations.
Even so, it sounds like Ellen isn’t abandoning “GA” because she says, “I’ll surely go returning to visit.”
