Ellen Pompeo has embodied Meredith Gray for over two decades, and when you spend so much time in the mind of a character, you know him very well. That is why Gray’s Anatomy’s star has strongly disagreed with a recent seasons of the 21st, as she revealed in her new interview.

A moral dilemma

“I have no say in the choices the character makes,” Pompeo told Variety, in an interview, on the occasion of her star who just acquired at Doxa Avenue in Hollywood on April 29.

‘Scriptwriters will first serve a plot before thinking,’ Meredith Gray who [η Ellen] He built, would he make this choice? “

Pompeo then referred to a recent scene where he was “completely opposed to Meredith’s decision”.

In the episodes of the 21st season “Jump (For My Love)” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I ‘Looking For”, Meredith and Nick travel to Seattle to undertake a liver transplant to a young teacher, Tasha. But they soon discover that her husband, Evynn, played by Guest Lena Waithe, had hidden Tasha’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which affects her eligibility for transplantation.

Meredith says hiding is “unfair” to other patients on the list and leaves Tasha’s luck in the committee. It is “moral to do,” tells Nick, who is surprised by her sudden commitment to the rules. He responds comprehensively and sharply: “You have made a career finding ways to bypass the protocols.”

Nick eventually finds a solution for Tasha to receive a partial transplant, sharing the graft with another patient. But behind the cameras, Pompeo was surprised that things got there.

“The character I have built all these years would always say, ‘it annoys me that you lied, [αλλά] Let’s find a way to fool the system and get this graft. System in the system. The system is damaged, “Pompeo told Variety.” Instead, Meredith chooses, for some reason, to get angry and “nail”, to inform Unos (the transplant system) and the committee that they were lying and should not take the liver, at the moment when Meredith is undermine. “

For she will always raise her voice

Pompeo’s concerns, which she eventually surpassed with Waithe, according to Variety, stem from her “deep love” for the series, she explained.

“I see my role as an attempt to keep Shonda Rhimes’s legacy as strong and stable,” he continued, “and when you stop careing or giving it all or you are lazy, we do not do what we are paid for.”

And he will continue to fight for Meredith. Although he recently made the step starring in the Good American Family series, he expressed Variety that he intends to stay in the world of Gray’s Anatomy for a very specific reason:

“Having the ability to use my voice, my image, my presence for 47 billion minutes a year without paying me a single cent, it wouldn’t be the best,” he said of the continuing success of the series on television and streaming.
