Ellen's Idea for Grey's Anatomy Finale Is Better Than Anything Writers Can Come Up With
Grey's Anatomy has been a TV phenomenon since it first premiered in 2005, captivating audiences with its gripping storylines, complex characters, and romance. But all good things come to an end one day, and the hit medical drama is no exception.
While we may not know what will happen in the big finale, whenever that takes place, it certainly promises to be an emotional rollercoaster.
However, it seems that the show's longtime star and executive producer, Ellen Pompeo, has an idea for the finale that surpasses anything the writers can come up with.
Throughout Grey's Anatomy's long tenure, the series has seen a revolving door of cast members, with only a handful of the show's original cast making regular appearances. The medical series has welcomed and bid farewell to many talented actors, including Sandra Oh, T.R. Knight, and Patrick Dempsey. These departures have left a lasting impact on the show, with each exit shaping the narrative in many ways.
However, with last year's announcement regarding Ellen Pompeo's decision to step away from her role as the titular character Meredith Grey, changes are definitely on the horizon.
Following this news, many devoted fans have started to wonder how much longer the medical show will remain on the air. Some are even speculating that the current season could be final, and if that's the case, viewers are eager to see how the show will bring its long journey to a close.
But while there's no real sign of the show coming to an end just yet, Pompeo has expressed her own idea for what she'd like to see in the big finale. When the actress appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2019, she revealed that she would love to have some of the original cast members reunite.
"The original cast is just like [puts hands over her heart]," she said before adding, "That probably won't happen, but that would be the most amazing way to [end it]."
Now, the reason why it's unlikely to happen is that some of the characters were killed off on the show. That said, regardless of how difficult it would be to pull this off, fans are excited about Pompeo's idea, with some even stating this would be the only right way to conclude the show.
With the future of the series unknown, it's anyone's guess how it will end. But no matter what happens, there is one thing fans can count on: Grey's Anatomy will go out with a bang, just like it has for the past two decades.
