The moment long awaited and feared by fans, the one where Meredith Gray prepares to leave Grey’s Anatomy, has arrived. We learn it from the promo of the new season at the start February 23rd on the US channel ABC, with the first images of Meredith who, with a flute of champagne in hand, greets the Gray Sloan department to inaugurate a new adventure in Boston. Certainly not a bolt from the blue, since before the nineteenth season of Grey’s Anatomy, the production had already had the opportunity to communicate in the press that the involvement of Ellen Pompeo, star and producer of the series from the very first episode, it would have been more limited.
The character of Meredith, in fact, in this new season will appear only in eight episodes, even if he will continue to be the narrator of the episodes until the end. In short, the pieces are slowly falling into place: in the last few episodes of the series, in fact, Meredith tried in every way to find a way to help her daughter Zola (Aniela Gumbs) deal with panic attacks her. During a recent trip to Massachusetts, however, the girl fell in love with the possibility of attending a school for gifted children in Boston, and here the perfidy of the screenwriters comes into play, given that from Boston Meredith had received an offer from Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) who asked her to move to the city to participate in a research group on Alzheimer’s, the same disease her mother struggled with in the early seasons of Grey’s Anatomy.
Hence, therefore, Meredith’s desire to leave Gray Sloan both to continue to grow professionally and to help her daughter. In short, the fit would seem perfectalthough at this point fans are finally faced with the question that has haunted them all these years, since Ellen Pompeo began to express impatience at being trapped for too long in a role that has inevitably affected her life and, especially, on his career: can Grey’s Anatomy survive now that Meredith is gone? To find out, all we have to do is wait for the response of the public, anxious (and fearful) to understand how the story will go on now that its queen has passed away.
