Grey’s Anatomy fans can now sigh in relief as Ellen Pompeo will be returning to star as Meredith Grey!
Ellen Pompeo will be returning to play Meredith Grey for at least another season on Grey’s Anatomy, according to Deadline. While other sources are saying the details of her contract haven’t yet been released, it’s clear that she will be back.
It’s also believed that Pompeo may now one of the highest paid actresses to grace our tv screens. This isn’t surprising news given that she’s now the main star of the hit series that only continues to grow in ratings. Grey’s Anatomy season 12 was the first following the departure of Patrick Dempsey as Derek Shepherd and Pompeo certainly proved that she can not only carry the show on her own, but make it even better.
This news follows the surprise that long term cast member Sara Ramirez had decided to leave the show. That was very much a shock to the fans as she was well loved and had been a staple in the series since season 2. It’s a relief that fans didn’t have to wait to hear of Pompeo’s return but there are still others who have their contracts up! It’s believed that Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., and Kevin McKidd will be returning but we’re always holding our breaths until it’s made official.
