Shonda Rhimes On McDreamy’s Fate On ‘Grey’s Anatomy’; Talks Meredith’s Future

“I couldn’t have that he turned out to be a bad guy who walked out on his wife and kid … for me, the only way was to make Derek and Meredith’s magic to remain true and forever frozen in time”. “The choice to have the character die the best way in that he did, wasn’t a troublesome one within the sense of what have been the choices?” Press tour sessions with her – like this afternoon’s panel featuring Rhimes and the leads of “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder” – often involve her smiling cryptically and refusing to acknowledge the premises of questions, much less answer them. “Patrick obviously has lots of interests outside”, referring to Dempsey’s career as an amateur race auto driver.

Walt Disney will buy a 30 percent stake in Hulu.com, bringing popular TV shows such as “Lost” and “Grey’s Anatomy” to the video website founded by NBC Universal and News Corp.

“It looks like from what I’m reading in the next script, she’s across the board giving people a hard time”, she says.

As for life beyond season 12, Lee had this to say, “We have no reason to expect that Grey’s Anatomy will not go on for many, many years to come”.

Rhimes’ long-running medical soap “Grey’s Anatomy” is going into its 12th season, despite its exodus of numerous original lead characters.

There is no doubt that when the hit ABC series, “Grey’s Anatomy“, returns this fall, there will be big changes in store both for the doctors and their fans. You’re going to see some classic Bailey stuff, some classic Bailey behavior. “I guess the theme is rebirth, which I’m really excited about for all of the characters, but really for Meredith”.

“So many individuals lose their spouses in a myriad of various methods and really feel they cannot rise up once more and to inform the story of how life goes on after… that is a narrative value telling”.
