It’s too early to say this but Patrick Dempsey confirms that his character Derek Shepherd will exit Grey’s Anatomy after season 8.
With just one year remaining on his contract, the actor made his intentions clear in an interview with the latest issue of Italian Vanity Fair. He told the magazine:
“It’s gonna be my last. I do not know what’s going to happen to the other characters, but for me it’s done,” adding that the decision is “bittersweet because it’s been great and a great part of my life. But I can’t see me doing it anymore.”
And he will not be alone as Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey) might join him on the exit.
Shonda Rimes has been preparing to bid farewell to both Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo after season eight, though the latter is yet to give official notification.
But will it only by MerDer? “It might be the last hurrah for a lot of them; you never know,” she said. “I really don’t know and I don’t presume to know. Everybody has an individual choice to make and I get that…. All the originals are in play.”
Is there a possibility that Meredith will stay despite Derek’s exit? “I feel like Meredith and Derek are meant to be together forever, and we’re going to make sure that in the end they end up together, one would hope — unless one of them dies or something.”
So if Meredith and Derek leave the show after season 8, what else can we expect from this series? Or maybe they will terminate the show as well? But wait, it can still be Lexie Grey’s Anatomy.
