Wait, WHAT?! Ellen Pompeo hints 'Grey's Anatomy' may end after S16
After signing a $20 million deal, looks like Ellen Pompeo is finally done with her longest-running show, ABC's 'Grey's Anatomy,' where she stars as the protagonist, Meredith Grey. Becoming TV's highest-paid woman, she was pretty much blamed for the departure of Sarah Drew and Jessica Capshaw at the end of season 14. Now, Dr. Grey is probably planning on putting down her coat and walking out.
While discussing the long-running medical drama which has probably given her the opportunity to stand above all and ask for what she deserves, Ellen told Entertainment Weekly that although she is thinking about quitting the show after the 16th season, she yet does not what she would like to do in the future. "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. It's about time that I mix it up. I'm definitely looking for a change."
