Fans have been hooked on it since time immemorial as it had compassion, betrayal, and well, love. Although their love started out just a fling the audiences witnessed how it bloomed over time on the show. However, Patrick Dempsey's Derek Shephard and Ellen Pompeo's Meredith Grey had a sad ending to their love story when Shephard dies after their relationship went had a shakey graph almost like a roller coaster ride. 

Regardless, fans still love Dempsey's character a lot and after their beloved, "McDreamy" had a cameo last season, they went frenzy as the 'Grey's Anatomy' creators introduced his nephew, Lucas Graham played by Niko Terho. Graham is a new intern just like Meredith was in the first season of the series that was released in 2005. Did the fans really travel back in time? Surely seems like.
