Patrick Dempsey’s character Derek Shepherd, aka McDreamy, is quitting Seattle Grace, according to EW.com.
Here are the details, via a press release from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes…
“After learning at a deposition that more of his patients have died than survived, Derek decides to quit — even as Meredith refuses to give up on him.”
Let’s be clear, though. Patrick Dempsey is not leaving Grey’s Anatomy. That much was made clear by Rhimes’ press release and all of the media’s reports about Grey’s. Katherine Heigl and TR Knight may be on their ways out after this season, but Patrick Dempsey and the rest of the cast are sticking around Grey’s. Whether they actually stick around Seattle Grace is still unclear.
For clarity, check out March 12′s episode.
