Grey’s Anatomy may have killed off one of its original and most loved characters Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) in last night’s shocking episode, but there are no plans for Season 12 (renewal expected) to be the last in the series, actress Caterina Scorsone assures THR:
How do you think Derek’s death fundamentally changes the show?
It is a fundamental change. I don’t know how it will be interpreted by the writers or audience, but I think it really grounds the show in that it’s about human resilience. All of these characters have been through so much change and growth — and so many of these characters have suffered huge losses and huge triumphs and have persevered and overcome. It finally drives home the point that [Grey’s Anatomy] is not just about a love story; this is about human resilience.
Have there been any conversations about season 12 being the last for Grey’s?
No, certainly not.
