Before Chandra Wilson was the Chief of Surgery on Grey’s Anatomy, she was a beat cop on Sex and the City. She looks the same now as she did when she was 32 in that 2002 episode.
Eric Dane shared a photo of his wife sleeping on his chest and how can you not swoon at their sweet loving moment. Well, maybe if you are Rebecca Gayheart and you realize that your husband just posted this photo of you. Other than that, that is what we all want.
Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder’s creator Shonda Rhimes was on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and the Comedy Central host asked her, “Have you ever killed off a character because you didn’t like the actor?” Then for extra points, he asked her to name names. Once she stopped laughing, she said, “Yes! And I am not naming names.” Since she said names, I am assuming it is more that one. Once you kill off one character, I guess it gets easier. So I am assuming Katherine Heigl was the first and then it got easier to kill off the likes off Chris Lowell, Tim Daly, Eric Dane, Columbus Short and Patrick Dempsey. Not saying she didn’t like all of them, but maybe that explains why they were suddenly 86ed?
I personally can’t watch her shows anymore. I find her shows to be over the top depressing and sadistic. It’s like how can we destroy one character’s life one week, and then keep making it worse every week after that. Like having a character addicted to drugs, her boyfriend dies of an overdose, she finds out she’s pregnant, the baby has no brain and she carries the baby to term to donate the organs. That is just one example, but what about Meredith Gray, who in her family hasn’t died. Oh yeah, the kids. How long until one of them gets a terminal disease or gets hit by a car or drowns or something? And what more can she do to Mellie? That is why I am done with her shows.
And now it seems like the truest Diva is not the actors, but the person in charge. I think that says a lot because Chuck Lorre has worked with a lot worse than Rhimes and he only killed off one troubled actor and for good reason. Just saying.
What do you think of her admitting to killing off an actor she didn’t like?
Ellen Pompeo sat down with Entertainment Weekly, and they talked to her about the backlash of killing off McDreamy and people saying the show cannot go on without him. She told the magazine, “Let’s keep it really real for a second and say this is really difficult for my ego.” Then she added, “It’s okay! We all have one!” She explained her that sentiment with, “It’s like, Annalise Keating carries the show, Olivia Pope carries the show. But somehow, Meredith Grey needs someone. Why can’t I just be the lead of the show the way Annalise and Olivia can? Why can’t I be on that poster by myself?”
Here’s my feelings on why she can’t do that. Grey’s Anatomy is an ensemble show, it was built on the cast and not a particular cast member unlike the other two shows. Plus, Viola Davis and Kerry Washington were stars before they joined their shows, no one knew who she was before Grey’s. She has become a household name since the show, but I don’t think she has become a star. Patrick Dempsey and Katherine Heigl toplined movies while they were on hiatus from the show and what else has she done besides the medical drama? Check her IMDB and she might not like the answer.
She also might not like what I will say now, she is boring. There is nothing that really stands out about her and that is why she can’t have her own poster.
Can the show go on without McDreamy? If ER survived without Dr Ross, then yes. But that is not why Grey’s is on life support. It’s because it is crap. The heart is gone and that is what made this once great show great. I gave it up a long time ago because it became too much to watch. Every episode had an over the top case and it is also so depressing. Like I said, too much to watch.
If I were Pompeo, I would watch what I say from now on because Grey’s is going to flatline soon and she is going to want to be employable. But then again, Heigl keeps finding work, so you never know.
