It looks like Ellen Pompeo is coming back to “Grey’s Anatomy.”
On Thursday, in the season finale, Meredith Grey’s research in Boston went sideways. She’ll be coming back to Seattle in the fall.
It’s likely that whenever “Greys” starts its fall season, it will be its last. The 19th season lost 800,000 viewers from beginning to end, on average. They went from 3.8 million at the start to 3 million at the end. On May 11th they went under 3 million for the first time
The party at Sloan Grey is over. The show is on life support at ABC. But really, isn’t 20 seasons enough? “Greys” is trounced in its time slot by “Law & Order SVU” and “So Help Me Todd.” So help me, its true.
I’m sure ABC will plan a big two hour ending for next spring 2024. And “Greys” will go off into syndication or streaming. All wounds will be sewn up, maybe by Meredith getting remarried.
