I bet that when Ellen Pompeo left Grey’s Anatomy, she thought that she would be in high demand. However, the only thing I have seen her in is the ABC medical soap.
Well, she is coming back to the series for at least seven of the eighteen episodes this season, according to Deadline.
So, while Jake Borelli and Midori Francis will not be back, and others saw their episode order count cut, they are bringing the overpriced actress back.
Let’s be honest. No one missed her, especially the people that work on the budget for the show.
Yesterday was the season 20 finale of Grey’s Anatomy. To celebrate the end of another great season, Chris Carmack got his castmates together to sing I’m Just Ken from Barbie.
And it was spectacular. So much so that I think it is time the medical drama does another musical episode.
Grey’s Anatomy is going into its record-breaking 21st season, making it the longest-running medical drama. So, you would think it would be rolling in dough? It isn’t. Because of that, the large cast is going to have to get smaller.
On Monday, we found out that Jake Borelli, who has played Levi Schmitt for seven years, will depart the series after a few more episodes.
Today, we found out he is not alone. Midori Francis is leaving the show after just two seasons.
Deadline says that, like Borelli, she is in negotiations to return for a few episodes to wrap up her character’s storyline.
I don’t think the cuts are done. So expect to see at least one more doctor to say goodbye to Grey Sloan.
Who do you think will/want to be next?
Oh, I think I know a way the show could get a lot of money. They could part ways with Ellen Pompeo because I think her salary could save a lot of people’s jobs.
Grey’s Anatomy is coming back in the Fall for its 21st season, but at least one doctor won’t be around for the season finale.
Jake Borelli will be checking out after seven years. However, he will most likely appear in several episodes to wrap up Levi Schmitt’s storyline.
While he is officially leaving, Deadline is reporting that the large cast will most likely see a reduction in their episode counts. This is a tactic the networks use to save money. And with Grey’s getting older and their ratings down, they don’t have the budget they used to have. So I wouldn’t be surprised if a few more actors will be departing the series in the near future.
Who would you like to see stay, and who would you like to see say goodbye?
For many years, people questioned whether Grey’s Anatomy could survive with Meredith Grey. And ABC quickly found out that the medical soap opera doesn’t need Ellen Pompeo.
Therefore, the network is happy with its performance without her, so they picked it up for season 21 early.
Are you excited it will be back for more, or do you think it needs to end?
