Ellen Pompeo will officially part ways with “Grey’s Anatomy”

• Ellen Pompeo will leave Grey’s Anatomy when the show returns in February.
• Ellen Pompeo’s character will be moving to Boston to seek a job.

Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), the show’s titular character, will depart when Grey’s Anatomy returns in the winter.

On February 23, Pompeo will bid adieu to his role as a key cast member because his character will be moving to Boston to seek a job. According to a recent article by source, Meredith will leave Grey’s Anatomy on February 23 when the show returns.

At the conclusion of the Season 19 autumn finale, it was reported that “Meredith departs Seattle,” and a promo trailer for the show’s winter comeback was then unveiled.

The trailer depicts Meredith being toasted as she finally departs, admitting that one of her reasons for permanently moving out of her house is the fact that it burnt down, leaving only a post-it note on which she and Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) scribbled their survival vows.

This comes after the email Meredith sent in the season finale announcing her departure from the hospital, which also marked her decision to relocate to Boston after her eldest daughter Zola (Aniela Gumbs) found a school she wanted to attend there and she was offered a job working on Alzheimer’s research by Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams).

Meredith will leave the show in the seventh episode, “I’ll Follow the Sun,” which also happens to be Pompeo’s intention to limit Meredith’s appearances in the twentieth season to just eight episodes.

Pompeo won’t abandon the programme entirely, though. Pompeo will continue to give the voice-over for all episodes of Season 19 and may do so in future seasons, even though she will be executive producing and starring in an eight-episode limited series on Hulu about a Midwest couple adopting a child with a rare form of dwarfism.

She will continue to work on the project as an executive producer and appear in the Season 19 finale. Williams and other characters have made subsequent appearances throughout the entire series, so it’s possible that Meredith may too in later seasons.

With Pompeo’s departure, the show will start concentrating on a larger cast of characters. The new interns who were introduced at the start of the season have recently come into prominence in the television show.

The longest-running medical television drama has not yet begun negotiations for its twentieth season, but given the favorable response to the new cast members, another season may soon be in the works.

In the event that this occurs, many of the performers’ contracts will also need to be extended by ABC Signature, including the final two original cast members Chandra Wilson (Dr. Miranda Bailey) and James Pickens Jr. (Dr. Richard Webber).

Grey’s Anatomy Season 19’s second half will debut on February 23 on ABC. Below is a trailer for the winter comeback.
