Surprise! (Not!) Ellen Pompeo Made Her Deal, “Grey’s Anatomy” Renewed for 19th Season

Share

No shock here.

ABC has announced “Grey’s Anatomy” will return next fall for its 19th season. Ellen Pompeo’s public negotiating for more money worked, I guess. She spent December running around saying the show should end, she was done, yada yada yada.

Anyway, Krista Vernoff remains in charge, Pompeo’s Meredith Grey will return, and next December she’ll start in again about “how can I go on?” back of palm to forehead, until they give her platinum encased Maybach or something.

In a press release everyone involved is thrilled to continue having jobs and relieved that Pompeo didn’t destroy their livelihoods. Who will be killed off this May to make room for Pompeo’s salary is anyone’s guess, but if I were a high earner there I’d be nervous– and calling my business manager.
