McDreamy Hangs Up His Scrubs For Good?

Posted by Lindy Parker

 

OMG, Derek wants to quit doctoring?  Say it ain't so, P. Demp! Say it ain't so...

Grey's Anatomy is MIA for the next few weeks, but the ABC serial will return with a bang on March 12, when Derek decides to call it quits.

Already, of course, Dr. Shepherd is in a dark place, having made some questionable (and ultimately unsuccessful) calls in the treatment of a pregnant patient played by guest star Jennifer Westfeldt. Adding salt to that wound, he comes to discover that over his illustrious career, more patients of his died than he originally thought — prompting him to elect to hang up his stethoscope. (TV Guide)

Okay, here's the thing.  We can't take this.  We felt like we just got Derek back to normal after the crazy Eric Stolz debacle where McDreamy spent all his time waxing moralistic.  If we're going to lose Derek, he HAS to take Meredith with him.  We refuse to deal with Meredith's whining and slouching if Derek's not around to soften the blow.  He can't really be leaving right? It has to be one of those personal-crisis-turned-idle-threat things that never actually materializes -- like when Chief Jim Pickens resigned as chief, but then showed up every day afterwards just like normal.  Sigh.  Don't scare us like that, P. Demp.  We can't take it.

    Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
