Actress Ellen Pompeo has been associated with Grey’s Anatomy right from the time the show debuted on ABC in 2005. Precisely 19 seasons later, Pompeo has decided to move on, much to the disappointment of fans. The actress recently took to Instagram and penned an emotional farewell to her fans and the show, and unsurprisingly, it evoked a tear-fest online.
Pompeo’s exit from the show left a volley of fans distraught, largely because her character as Dr.Meredith Grey has been a pivotal part of the show. Pompeo’s road to stardom has been fraught with challenges, and fans have lauded her journey every step of the way.
