The post Ellen Pompeo Will Be Appearing in ”Grey’s Anatomy’s” Next Season in a Limited Capacity appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>We’re gearing up for the 19th season of the medical drama, but one key member of staff won’t be as present as usual.
Dr. Meredith Grey—AKA the titular character—will be scrubbing in for only eight of the upcoming season’s more than 20 episodes. It also means that she will not provide the narration for every episode as has been standard since the show’s inception in 2005.
The decision is due to Ellen Pompeo starring in Hulu’s limited series, Orphan, which is based on the true story of Ukranian-born Natalia Grace whose US adoptive parents claimed that she was actually an adult “sociopath” pretending to be a child and trying to con them. It marks Pompeo’s first acting role outside of Grey’s in almost two decades and she will also serve as executive producer on the project.
Although she renewed her Grey’s contract for another year in January, the 52-year-old actress has admitted that she is ready to move on from the role which made her a household name.
Telling Insider in December that she’s “been trying to focus on convincing everybody that [Grey’s Anatomy] should end,” Pompeo said, “I feel like I’m the super naïve one who keeps saying, ‘But what’s the story going to be, what story are we going to tell?‘ And everyone’s like, ‘Who cares, Ellen? It makes a gazillion dollars.’”
Producers have said that they will keep doing the show as long as she wants to, but perhaps this is the first indication that Dr. Grey plans to hang up her scrubs.

]]>The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced the list of about two dozen of honorees being granted their own stars. This doesn’t automatically mean they’ll get the star – each one comes with a fee, and honorees have two years to accept the award.
Walker and Thurman are receiving their stars for their contribution to motion pictures, while Pompeo is one of the television honorees alongside Mindy Kaling and Jon Favreau. Lenny Kravitz, Jonas Brothers, and Blake Shelton are getting the stars for their work in the recording industry.
The list of honorees was hand-picked by the Selection Panel, made up of fellows Walk of Famers, and the organization’s chairwoman Ellen K said they’re looking forward to celebrating the new generation of recipients.
“The panel thoughtfully selected these talented individuals, and we can’t wait to celebrate them as they become part of Hollywood’s history with the unveiling of their star on the world’s most famous walkway!” Ellen K said in a statement.

]]>Earlier this year, Pompeo signed a massive $20 million a year deal to stay on Grey’s Anatomy for season 15 and season 16. Now, during her recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, she was asked whether she sees herself continuing with the show after the 16th season .
“I’m clearly not prepared right now to make any formal announcement about what my future is on the show, but I am really feeling like we have told the majority of the stories that we can tell,” – the 48-year-old actress told EW. “It’s about time that I mix it up. I’m definitely looking for a change.”
Although many will say that even if Ellen Pompeo leaves, Grey’s Anatomy could survive to see a run of few more years, that is highly unlikely. Her character is the focal point of the series, and it is clear that she is one of the main reasons for its popularity. Also, series creator Shonda Rhimes basically said in late 2017 that the show will end when Pompeo decides to do so.
“Ellen and I have a pact that I’m going to do the show as long as she’s going to do the show,” – Rhimes told E! News at the time. “So, the show will exist as long as both of us want to do it. If she wants to stop, we’re stopping. “
When Grey’s Anatomy eventually wraps up, Ellen Pompeo already knows what she wants to do next, and it isn’t a role in another TV series or major feature movie. Talking with Deadline in January, Pompeo revealed that she is looking to do producing and directing. She already directed two episodes and is producer of Grey’s Anatomy, while serving as co-executive producer for series’ spinoff Station 19.

]]>According to this new contract, Pompeo will receive more than $550,000 per episode, which will make her the highest paid actress in television. As a part of the deal, the 48-year-old actress will also take the role of show’s producer and will be a co-executive producer of the upcoming Grey’s Anatomy spinoff.
“The show’s hugely successful for Disney, for ABC, so everybody’s incentivized to keep it going,” – Pompeo said about her decision. She also added that she is excited about the return of Krista Vernoff, who rejoined as the new showrunner and that “writing is a lot smarter, and I love what she’s doing. Everybody does actually, the actors are so happy, they’re so energized.”
Asked about the possibility that Grey’s Anatomy ends after two years, Pompeo didn’t want to go into specifics.
“I’ve been saying since season one, ‘We have two more years’,” – she said. “This show, it’s taking on a life of its own, and who knows? We take it season by season really.”
Ellen Pompeo landed her first acting role in NBC’s legal drama Law & Order and then went on to guest star in shows like Strangers with Candy, Strong Medicine and Friends. She also had roles in movies like Catch Me If You Can, Old School, and Daredevil. Her major breakthrough came in 2005 when she landed the role of Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy. For her work on the show, Pompeo received numerous awards including Screen Actors Guild and People’s Choice Award.
