Different reports said that Meredith and Derek will leave Grey’s Anatomy after season 8. To clear things up, here are another set of interviews.
A representative of Patrick Dempsey gave us this statement:
“He was referring to the fact that his contract is up at the end of next season and we have no idea what the future holds,” Dempsey’s rep tells E! News.
So while there’s still the possibility that Dempsey will hang up his stethoscope in 2012, especially if Ellen Pompeo packs it in, nothing is set in stone yet.
“No one has asked us to come back after season eight, so I couldn’t presume that I’m coming back… if I haven’t been invited,” Pompeo said last week.
The long and short of it is that the original cast is only under contract through May 2012. Beyond that, a new deal must be offered – and agreed to.
The cast members would be free to go their separate ways summber, and having spent seven years on (and banked millions from) Grey’s, they may do so.
So what do you think of this news? Will Grey’s Anatomy be better without this core casts? Or will it go otherwise?
