Last year, Ellen Pompeo became TV’s highest paid actress, and now she is hinting she is ready to call it quits with the show when her contract expires at the end of next season.
Meredith Grey told Entertainment Weekly, “I’m clearly not prepared right now to make any kind of formal announcement about what my future is on the show, but I am really feeling like we have told the majority of the stories we can tell,” Then she added, “It’s about time that I mix it up. I’m definitely looking for a change.”
Without her, they say the show cannot go on. But didn’t they say that about ER when George Clooney left? Whatever, she decides to do as her next step, I doubt acting will be it. I think she is too typecast as the doctor to do anything else.
Would you be upset if she leaves the show and ABC pulls the plug on the medical soap opera?
