What Happened To Meredith Grey? Why Is She Leaving?

What happened to Meredith Grey? This week on "Grey's Anatomy," things will get heated up: Ellen Pompeo, who has portrayed Meredith Grey on the program since it premiered in 2005 and has opted to quit her position after 19 years in the job, will be leaving the show. In the midseason premiere of ABC's long-running medical primetime drama, "I'll Follow the Sun," our favorite Grey Sloan docs gather to bid a tearful farewell to Meredith, who has appeared in more than 400 episodes of the show.
She is moving her family from Seattle to Boston so that her brilliant daughter, Zola, may attend a school that suits her and so that she can continue working to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease through the Catherine Fox Foundation. Zola is an honor student.

Clips from the very first episode of "Grey's Anatomy" in 2005 up to the current day were used in the promotional materials for the upcoming season, which gave the impression that viewers would be taken on a trip down memory lane.
Meredith's best friend Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and her late husband Derek Shephard (Patrick Dempsey) also make cameo appearances, and the show includes some of the most famous words ever spoken by either of them, such as Meredith telling Derek, "I love you." "Take me. I am the best option for you to go with. Love me," and Cristina gushingly confessed to Meredith, "You're my person," both simultaneously."
In a post to her Instagram account in November, Pompeo gave viewers a hint that they had not seen the last of Meredith Grey. She has now confirmed that she will continue to work on the program as an executive producer and contribute voiceovers for future episodes.
The actress, who is 53 years old, expressed gratitude to the audience for "19 seasons of love and support" for herself, her character Meredith Grey, and the show. The actress has stated that her primary focus this spring will be on her starring role in a Hulu limited series and on spending time with her husband Chris Ivery and their three children.
Actress Chandra Wilson, who portrays Miranda Bailey, said on "Good Morning America" that Pompeo's departure was "momentous" for one of television's most cherished characters. She said, "It's certainly historic for the character and what it implies to the program that bears her surname." This incident obviously has major implications for the protagonist.

A preview of the next episode depicts a touching conversation between Meredith and Bailey; fans shouldn't miss out on seeing it. Wilson would not provide any plot specifics regarding her interaction with Pompeo; however, she commented, "It was certainly an exciting voyage to find the perfect words." With the departure of Ellen Pompeo, "Grey's Anatomy" will have just two stars left who have been a part of the program from the beginning: Patrick J. Wilson and James Pickens Jr., who plays the role of Richard Webber.
Wilson made the statement, "We are very, very sensitive of our function as mentors, of our position as folks who aid everybody else navigate through what dramatic series television is and what it may be," which may be translated as "We are very, very conscious of our duty."
