Shonda Rhimes Says ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Cast Is “Still Traumatized” by Isaiah Washington Scandal
Grey’s Anatomy hasn’t flatlined just yet.
After all, it just began its 22nd season. But that’s not to say, creator Shonda Rhimes—who was also its showrunner until season eight—hasn’t thought about its series finale. And admitted that after 450 episodes of the medical drama, she’s trying to find the right ending will look like.
“I’d say back around episode 150 I knew how it was gonna end,” Shonda told Today’s Craig Melvin on the Oct. 13 episode of the NBC morning show. “Now we’re at 450—I have no idea. I mean, I wasn’t sure we’d get past season four or five. So the fact that we’re here in 22, season 22, is insane.”
Plus, as the 55-year-old explained, the decision to end the show isn’t hers alone, but would also come from the fans and the show’s cast, including OG stars like Ellen Pompeo, James Pickens Jr. and Chandra Wilson.
Shonda added, “I want everybody to end in a really positive, great way.”
