Anyone watching Greys Anatomy?? (Spoilers)

[taisree]

First off.... Does anyone know what the deal is with Patrick Dempsey (Derek)? I had thought he left the show for good. No? Now he's back and the previews left me wondering if he's returning.
And that storyline is moving at a snails pace, ughhhh. But I'm dying to know if he cheated... Probably? Right! With his history...

And April & Avery (somehow forgot his first name just now...) I am really glad to see the show do a storyline like this. I really hope they open up what these two are going through grieving their baby, though frankly I can't believe April is back at work already. It took me almost 6 months...
Anyways, glad to see this storyline. Feels like this sort of thing usually gets swept under the rug.

And where is the doctor with the brain tumour (geena Davis)? No mention of her whatsoever!!!

*i can't remember anyone's name apparently! Lol*

[Deleted]

I'm dying to know what happens with the Derek story next week. And yeah, WTF is up with following the Geena Davis story and then just stopping it cold turkey? I was really enjoying her friendship with Arizona and that whole line. I wish they'd continue it a little further.

And Jackson.   Jackson Avery is what you're looking for on that one.

[erbear]

I sometimes can't believe how invested I am in this show, but I am. Last night's episode with the mom dying and them delivering the baby still? Tears!

I hate Derek so much right now. Hate him. Selfish prick. McSteamy was always the better choice.

I've had a hard time watching the Jackson/April line, but I'm also glad they did it. I liked seeing their struggle last night and the ending!

I want to know what Geena Davis' character will be doing now that she's blind. I need follow up!

[holliberry28]

I'm also surprised that I still really enjoy the show. This last episode was difficult, I definitely cried when the pregnant mom died and they had to continue CPR to deliver the baby.

The whole Derek cheating thing seems so far fetched, especially how in love he was with Meredith. But Mereditj always sorta annoyed me.

Agreed with the whole Geena Davis storyline, she survives surgery and then no follow up? Doesn't make sense.

[Deleted]

I love love love Amelia and Owen. He deserves someone like her after being with ice princess Christina for so long.

[leenziepops]

This show is still on? Wow!

[sidneyvicious]

I feel like this whole season has been an assault on pregnant women and babies. Ugh. I thought I was the only person on earth who still watches this show!

Agreed! I really thought with Derek leaving on top of so many key characters now gone I'd lose interest, but I'm somehow addicted. Again.

He must have cheated in some way.... I've loved him and Meredith for the most part but I always kind of wished she would've picked that vet Finn ☺️

I looooove Geena Davis' character too and her friendship with Arizona. Perfect addition to the show, I hope they can keep her around for awhile.

Jo & Alex are cute but.... Boring. They need a storyline.

Also: the man who refused the shunt surgery because he could not live with the guilt of killing the pregnant mom - broke my heart. Ugh... And his poor wife.

[turtletyme]

I got the vibe that Derek maybe got caught up with a psycho and didn't actually do anything bad, but we will see! I also want to see more Geena Davis, and I think it would be interesting to see her deal with her blindness (although probably dramatic and overwrought, knowing this show.)

[hbanana18]

I finally watched it this morning. The CPR on the pregnant lady - ugh. Cried my eyes out.

I really hope Derek isn't cheating on Meredith. I love how strong she has become.

I love Maggie and how she and Alex are Meredith's people. I hated when Lexi was killed and am glad Meredith has them.

The Jackson - April thing has been super hard to watch but I am glad it's out there.

If they don't bring geena davis back in for a little follow up, I'll be bummed.

I am with you ladies on Amelia and Owen - love then together and I am so glad Amelia is on the show now.

I like Callie & Arizona apart - especially the friendship dynamic they are developing.

Arizona read out that text about Geena Davis attending some blind institute so I figured that's her gone now.

I missed that! Crap. Hope she returns

[amber311]

I was a blubbering wreck when they had to deliver the Avery baby. Just when I started to recover, last week's episode shot me right back to hormonal freak out. I was sobbing hysterically telling my husband that if anything happened to me to save the baby... ugh thanks greys... I hope they end the show soon. I love it but I think it's time.

[laurenlou83]

Oohhh I still watch it, too! DH gives me a hard time I'm still so invested, but I've watched from the beginning!

I want to punch Derek in his throat lately. Meredith can be annoying, but if he did cheat.... nope, nope, nope. Wouldn't forgive him after he selfishly left.

The stories have been very focused on babies and pregnant women, which have made it more difficult to watch, but I'm glad they are including the story lines they have. I love Jackson and April.

I'm another one for loving Amelia and Owen. I have always loved Owen, and Christina just annoyed me most of the time with how finicky she was!

[holliberry28]

I forgot we had a grey's thread and posted this in the Thursday Randoms thread! So many people are pissed the way he went. Just so abrupt and didn't flow with the storyline whatsoever. How many accidents/natural disasters can one show have??

[sugarbean17]

Totally thinking the same thing. Why weren't his sisters there, his mom, anyone really?! I was bawling my eyes out this morning after watching it on hulu.

[dmoney]

They "moved" Derek to DC to see if the shows ratings would take a shit. The write has said that he has become a HUGE drama queen behind the scenes. The episodes that he was in DC and not on the show the ratings didn't take a hit at all so there has been talk of cutting him out of the show. He apparent has also stated that he wanted to spend more time on his racing career (didn't even know he had one!). DH saw and article on Monday talking about possible cutting him out and Boom he died last night!! I have a feeling he will be on in some capacity (flash back or what not) till the end of the season. Really not to happy with how they decided to cut him out but it is what it is!

[txngrl31]

@hazeldublin, Yes! I was in shock that the young dr was breaking down to a woman that just lost her husband, and that Meredith gave the little pep speech. Bizarre!!

I was reminded of why I have to take breaks from Grey's- waaayyy too much drama and natural disaster stuff. I agree with y'all, that was a horrible way to end McDreamy's character. I was waiting for the blow to come all episode. What was even more heartbreaking is that he was internally telling them what to do and what not to do, leaving the audience to believe he could have been saved. Ugh!

[turtletyme]

I am watching this now. I hate how they are doing this whole thing (but happy to see Sydney from Parenthood, that's her right?)
I work in media research for automotive and have heard that Dempsey is really trying to focus on racing. I refuse to believe that he is a dick, because he is so sexy!

I thought the same thing about nobody being there. I just knew she would end up having him transferred to their hospital. I was in shock the whole time. I thought after he saved everyone we were in the clear... NOPE! Ugh!

[erbear]

I really despise Shonda Rimes, yet I keep watching Grey's and Scandal. No one is ever happy on those shows! One they are, BAM. A semi comes and kills you.

Yes, Sydney was great in the episode I miss Parenthood.

Two accidents on one road, back to back? Come on.  And then Meredith goes to the hospital for that dream sequence and he jokes that he almost died.  Not ok.  I have to say I really didn't miss him during those episodes where he was in DC...

[laurenlou83]

Although I'm not the biggest McDreamy fan, I did cry last night during the episode. I blame the pregnancy hormones. I knew he was in contract negotiations and had heard he wanted to possibly leave the show, so I'm really not surprised. I really don't like how it all went down, but it is what it is I suppose!

I really don't think the show can survive that much longer though. I feel like they are running out of story lines!!

[Widget123]

Finally saw the episode just now. Is it bad that I don't think I'm going to miss Derek just like I haven't missed Christina since she left? I've been much more interested in the other couples on the show right now. Merediths character generally bores me these days. It would have been so much better if Derek actually had been cheating then died.

[honeybunches101]

I have read for years that he was trying to get out of his contracts and get off the show, but I was still totally shocked he was killed off so abruptly. I hate when shows kill off people! I had seen spoilers on social media right before I watched it but I still bawled like a baby. Why couldn't he have just moved to DC? They had to kill him and make me cry? That's like the 6th person they have killed. I had to stop watching Scandal this season, it was getting out of hand with all the violence and I could never keep track of who was the bad guy. I want to stick with Grey's but things like this really piss me off.

[mcp6286]

I know that I must be pregnant because I actually cried when he died. And I've been voting that they off him for ages now! DH was like, "I thought you wanted him to die. Why are you upset?" and I really could not explain it. I never could stand Derek or Meredith...they're both so selfish. And it really bugs me that they NEVER spend time with their kids!

[effthisnoise]

Patrick Dempsey wasn't in contract negotiations. Last year he re-upped for two more seasons which would have taken him through the end of the 2015-16 season. The most believable rumor I've read so far is that after he signed back on, he started complaining about playing the same character for so long to the media and started being a diva on set. His new contract was structured so that he'd still have time for racing, but he still complained. So Shonda Rhimes got pissed that he signed back on if he was going to be such a jerk about it and killed him off. Like, "You're annoyed that your day job is getting in the way of your hobby? No problem. No more day job for you."

I'll keep watching Grey's until it finally ends because I've already invested so many years, but I won't pick up another Shonda show again. I've heard great things about Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, but I can't deal with her killing off beloved characters because their actors pissed her off in real life.

Anyway, that episode killed me. I'm still in mourning, I think. Even though Derek's character had recently been an asshole, I loved him and knew that he'd get back on track.

[baytosa2013]

Ugh that episode just made me go WTF! I have been watching Grey's from the beginning but Derek and Meredith were getting boring. I'm much more interested in Amelia's story and I watched her over on the The Practice spinoff a while back. I don't know that I'll miss Derek but it always sucks when they decided to kill off a main character that's been there since the beginning.

[trixi282]

I have been avoiding this thread because I was 3 episodes behind... My H reinstated our Hulu account so we caught up this weekend!

Arizona & Geena Davis' character story line was great. K think it was good to show that side of Medicine that we've only barely glimpsed in the past with Addison Montgomery-Shepard. The way they wove in April and Jackson was good. And one of the cards on their board of mommies, had a CPAM, which I totally teared up about. But of course it wasnt a story line, and they were taken off the board after 1 procedure.... (So totally NOT my experience, but I know some are like that)

I hope they continue to develop that with Arizona though. As for April, I don't blame her for going back to work.... That's kind of my personality/mentality too though. Work helps take my mind off things and its how I move on. I cannot sit and grieve like some...

I am hoping Geena Davis makes at least a short return to have a follow up, and continue guiding Arizona some.

I'm a little surprised with how they killed Derek... I think they played off of the irony a lot: brain surgeon dies from brain trauma after docs don't order a CT scan.... I think Meredith should have at least called Amelia to come... And should have called his mom... The rest of his family is on the east coast though. And Mer didn't need Amelia's 2nd opinion, but she should have called as a sister. She's not only a surgeon as well but worked in Neuro for a long time too, so knows what brain dead looks like.

I think they'll start developing a lot more of the other relationships now, I am stuck on this show though, through thick and thin. My H and I still miss George though.... And Izzy sometimes too, because she was so neurotic.

[belle0720]

I cry in almost every episode of this damn show, and the way they killed off Derek got ZERO tears out of me because of how unrealistic it seemed. I kept thinking that it was going to be a dream and he was going to wake up and be fine, but nope.

I don't understand why after all of that time out there where no one could get cell phone service his phone starts ringing. And all of that time no other cars pass by yet a big rig just pummels into him out of no where.

And where the hell was Meredith's emotion about her husband dying? Why the hell didn't she call anyone to tell them what had happened? And the scene with her yelling at the other doctor about how she needed to learn from this mistake and not make it again--major cheese.

Time to end this show!

I totally miss Izzy and George--that's when the show was at its best!

Also, can we compare Derek's lame write-off to how they did such an amazing job handling George's death and really giving us a good dramatic shock? I still remember the moment when they realized that John Doe was George O'Malley--and allll of the tears!
