Storylines dan Karakteristik
Meredith Gray is the daughter of the world-renowned surgeon Ellis Gray, and grew up in his shadow. Ellis is a mother who is very abusive, emotional, and rude, and negligent towards him. Meredith is described as a "dark and tortuous" person, a broken person who sees the world in various shades of gray morality. Therefore, he is an emotionally complex person who is able to empathize with others when they are at the lowest point, and the sensitive observers of the people around him. Meredith is a graduate of Dartmouth College and barely attends medical school because of conflict with her mother. Meredith has no direction after getting a bachelor's degree and has plans to sleep and feast in Europe. After a month abroad, Meredith is recalled to care for Ellis, who has developed early Alzheimer's disease, and Meredith earned his M.D.
The night before Meredith's apprenticeship began, she had one night standing with Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), a stranger she met at a bar. She found out the next day that she was the newly appointed and newly appointed neurosurgeon at her new workplace, Seattle Grace Hospital. Meredith was assigned to work under the inhabitants of Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), and befriended his apprentice friends, George O'Malley (TR Knight), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers ).
He is very close to Cristina Yang, who became his friend and his "man". Although at first he thought little about it, Alex Karev also evolved into Meredith's "people" and both assumed family kinship. Meredith has a conflicting relationship with Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), Head of Surgery at Seattle Grace. Richard was very close to Ellis when Meredith was little, which made him inclined to save or guide Gray and make exceptions for him. Meredith has a habit of "collecting strays", allowing her friends and colleagues to live in the house her mother left behind and become her pseudo family. Meredith is unrelentingly loyal to the people she considers her family, and bends the traditional morality necessary to keep them safe.
Raised at the hospital, Meredith showed a remarkable natural talent. He has firmness, calm calmness during medical procedures and emergencies, and is a natural observer of people. He showed a talent for capturing subtle clues and accurately determining a difficult diagnosis. Her quiet and non-judgmental manner of sleep often causes people to open and trust her. His surgical skills were impressive and he demonstrated his talent and patience for medical research trials and dealing with psychologically damaged patients.
Meredith rejected Derek's progress during his apprenticeship, but was finally fascinated to start a relationship with him despite anxiety about a dating apprentice. Therefore he was surprised by the arrival of Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), Derek's wife, unaware that he was married. Derek struggled to choose between the two, but eventually returned to Addison, although Meredith begged to be chosen instead.
Meredith was destroyed and turned into many self-destructive ways. Initially he fell into old habits of self-medicate with tequila and sex, and bought a dog. He also tried to solve some problems by looking for his long-absent father, Thatcher. He knows that his father, who left when he was five and has not been seen since, married again and has two more daughters. The two did not get close, but Gray became fond of his stepmother.
Meredith spiraled further when Ellis was hospitalized, revealing the early diagnosis of early onset of Alzheimer's and its verbal coarseness. Meredith self-destructive behavior increases when he saves the patient with a bomb on their chest by impulsively pressing his hand to hold it until the bomb squad can remove it. Mereidth has a series of one-night stands, including one with George, who falls in love with him. When she cries in the middle of their meeting, their friendship temporarily ends. Meredith abandoned her behavior, agreed to befriend just Shepherd, and start a relationship with veterinarian Finn Dandridge (Chris O'Donnell).
Derek deplores his decision to return to his wife and Meredith must decide whether to continue the relationship with Finn, or let Derek a second chance.
When Ellis had a rare day, really bright, and expressed his incredible disappointment at how Meredith used to change, he became depressed and probably wanted to kill himself. During the ferry crash, Meredith fell into the water and chose to surrender and drown, rather than fight and swim. He is lying face down in the hospital, and awakens in the "afterlife", where he interacts with old acquaintances of the deceased. Ellis died temporarily, and Meredith met her mother, who told him that she was unusual. He was then made aware of Cristina's insistence. Derek distanced himself from Meredith as a result of his own carelessness, prompting him to seek therapy to solve his problems. Meredith saw a therapist, Dr. Wyatt (Amy Madigan), to seek happiness and begin to solve the problem. Meredith found her mother's diary, dredging her old memories and secrets for her to work on. Meanwhile, Meredith almost fails her internship test after a drunken Thatcher publicly blames Meredith for the death of his wife, Susan, who desperately descends sitting through her entire test without writing a single answer. Dr. Webber gave him a second chance, saving him from destroying his career.
After Meredith was promoted to resident, his half sister Lexie Gray (Chyler Leigh) began work at Seattle Grace as an apprentice. Meredith initially rejected Lexie's attempts to establish a relationship, but slowly softened toward him. The sisters are very different people with different childhood. Lexie has an idealistic family life and often has difficulty understanding her much darker brother, who does not have the same positive relationship with a family as Lexie.
He then started a neurosurgical clinical trial, enrolling Derek as a neurosurgeon consultant. The trial failed repeatedly, but the last patient they treated survived, leading them to reunite and move together. Their relationship is healthier than ever, but it still faces obstacles as both try to understand each other and navigate what they now perceive as a long-term permanent relationship. Meredith relies heavily on Cristina for support and emotional guidance. Finally, Derek and Meredith decide to marry, but on their wedding day, the couple gives their "perfect" wedding ceremony to Izzie and Alex, to marry each other during the planned ceremony instead.
Meredith and Derek married writing their wedding vows with a post-it note. Meredith spent most of the season from the commission after donating a portion of his heart to Thatcher and supporting Cristina's new relationship with Owen Hunt, an army doctor with an alarming PTSD.
Meredith suffered another major trauma after the hospital was locked away from an active mass shooter who tried to get revenge against Derek. Meredith offered her own life instead and miscarried her baby during the crisis. He underwent a traumatic experience with Cristina, who operated in Derek while threatening at gunpoint. Meredith hides her loss and the trauma psychiatrist refuses to clean both Cristina and Meredith to return to surgery. Meredith was able to overcome her problems and be clean, but Cristina remained very traumatized. Meredith covers and supports his friend through his dark days, but ultimately can not fully help her return to the operating room.
Meredith decides to actively try to conceive, but knows that she has a "unfriendly uterus", which makes it necessary to consider the possibility of another genetic defect. Derek, who is constantly worried about the possibility that he will develop Alzheimer's, started a clinical trial hoping to cure the disease. Meredith chose to work in the trial and seemed to be leaning towards neuro specialization.
When the chief of operations, Richard Webber's wife (James Pickens Jr.), Adele, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he accepted a place in the trial. Meredith ruined the drugs so Adele did not receive a placebo. He and Derek decide to adopt Zola, an orphan from Malawi, and make their marriage legitimate. However, when the truth about the disturbance comes out, angry Derek tells him that he can not raise a child with him because of his moral ambiguity. Meredith was fired, and tried to hide both of these and the separation of her marriage from an adoption counselor to keep Zola. Although Dr. Webber resigns as chief of operations and takes responsibility for trial distractions to protect Meredith, Zola is taken away. He and Derek are at peace. Meredith chose a general specialty over neuro, and they managed to fight to get Zola back.
When the last year of its residency is almost over, residents travel around the country, seeking the best job in their specialties. To complete their residency, residents must take a medical board. Meredith took the test during the flu. She decided to take up a job offer at The Brigham and Women's Hospital as the next step in her career. During a medical flight to conduct a prestigious operation involving conjoined twins, Meredith, Derek, Cristina, and Lexie, among others, were involved in a flight accident. The plane crash killed Lexie, and the survivors were trapped in the jungle for days waiting for days. After rescuing them, Merdith became a general surgeon at Seattle Grace, now Seattle Grace-Mercy West. While Cristina escapes from Seattle for her alliance, Meredith, fearful of flying and changing, refuses her job offer, and relies on what's left in Seattle. Cristina and Meredith started calling Seattle's Grace Mercy Death hospital recalling the trauma, death, and pain they experienced there.
Meredith's new attitudes and sarcasm caused him to be nicknamed "Medusa" by the hospital's new internship group. After the plane crash, the hospital was sued and ultimately found guilty of negligence. Each victim included Derek, Cristina, Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) and himself had to receive a $ 15 million compensation, which caused the hospital to almost go bankrupt because the insurance company refused to pay for the gap. Doctors with Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) purchased the hospital with the help of the Harper Avery Foundation to prevent it from being shut down and become a new member of the steering committee.
Meredith asked Dr. Bailey to do gene mapping on him to finally find out if he has an Alzheimer's gene like his mother. He tests positive for more than one genetic marker for this disease.
Meredith moved into the completed dream house and sold her home to Alex, who bought her as the only true home she had ever known. He continues Meredith's tradition of keeping the house open to every "orphan" in need of a home. Meredith finds her pregnant and gives birth to a son. Babies are born through C-section. While sewing Meredith, the obstetrician who operated her was called to another patient and the internship of Shane Ross completed the stitches. When blood began to appear from everywhere, Meredith diagnosed herself in the DIC. Dr. Bailey does the removal of the spleen, which saves his life. In return, Derek and Meredith named their son Bailey.
As a couple, a surgeon, and a mother, Meredith has quoted several times that she does not want to be like her parents: her father has followed her mother sadly before going to be happy, while her mother cherishes her career over her. family. Meredith often conflicts trying to balance between the two, and her family's fear of inhibiting her medical aspirations, as much as she is afraid of becoming like her mother whenever she is tempted to choose a family operation. Meredith and Cristina suffered a major rift when Cristina confirmed Meredith's fears by stating that Meredith's skills had fallen behind Cristina because her family obligations took her away from OR time.
Meredith and Derek have reached an agreement that he, already established in his career and reputation, will take a step back to care for the children and let him shine. Meredith tries to regain ground by starting a research experiment that promises a 3-D vein printing portal. The conflict between Cristina and Meredith widened when Cristina ordered Meredith's resources for her own trial, eventually collecting Harper Avery's nomination for Cristina. Cristina and Meredith improved their relationship when Meredith confessed that Cristina was right, her skills had surpassed Meredith. Cristina moved to Switzerland to take a job offer from Dr. Preston Burke, his former teacher, mentor and fiancée, is looking for a replacement at a research hospital he runs, leaving Alex responsible for Meredith's "person" in his place, an honor he is gladly accepted.
Meredith and Derek's marriage became tense as Derek defied his promise and accepted an offer from the US President to participate in the Brain Mapping Initiative, which was spending time and eclipsing Meredith, who felt increasingly abandoned and traced by my mother. He accepted an offer to head up the project itself in Washington D.C., which meant that he had to be there permanently. Meredith lowered her legs because she did not want to uproot her young family to move across the country for her career at the expense of herself. They started a series of on-and-off arguments and "cold war" over their careers. Derek took the job in the heat and immediately went to Washington. During a phone call with Meredith, they agreed to settle the matter after he told him that he did not want them to be "one of the couple" and he replied, saying that he missed her. He personally admitted to Alex that he had realized that he could live independently of Derek, but chose not to do so.
Meredith discovers she has a half mother sister named Maggie Pierce who is now working at the Gray Sloan Memorial. Meredith denied and refused Maggie, thinking she would remember if her mother was pregnant until she found a hospital document confirming revelation. Meredith tries to unite her relationship with her mother and stepbrother by going through her mom's old videos. She finally recovered her distressed memories of pregnancy when she looked at her mother's diary and had a change of heart, choosing to accept Maggie and start building relationships.
Meredith became a widow when Derek was killed in a car accident and taken to a deprived hospital. Doctors fail to recognize his head injury in time and let personal conflicts interfere. Derek was declared brain dead, and Meredith had to go to the medical center to agree to remove it from life's help, just before she was hit by the first wave of morning sickness. He tells Penny, the apprentice assigned to Derek that every doctor has a "one" patient who dies on their watch and haunts them forever and "that one will make you work harder, and they make you better."
After Derek's death, Meredith returns to the Gray Sloan Memorial to inform others of his death. After the funeral, Meredith impulsively packed her things and went with the kids to San Diego. The moon passes while his friends and family are unaware of his whereabouts. Finally, parallels show similarities in the lives of Meredith and Ellis: Both have lost love in their lives, both of whom fled Seattle after losing them, and both ended up giving birth to a daughter. Meredith named her newborn daughter after her mother. Although still mourning Derek, Meredith returned to Seattle with his children and later became the head of general surgery. He sold the "dream house" and moved back to his mother's house, after buying it back from Alex, and now living there with Maggie and Amelia Shepherd, her brother-in-law.
Meredith had a dinner party and at the Callie party took Penny as a date. Later on the show, Meredith finds Penny to be joining her at the Gray Sloan Memorial. Meredith finally forgave Penny, who became her favorite citizen over Alex's girlfriend, Jo. Alex and Meredith continue their close relationship like brothers of "people" to each other, regardless of Jo's displeasure and inability to understand their closeness. He supports him when he is cruelly attacked by disoriented patients, and he supports him through his legal difficulties. Alex starts a weekly family waffle day where she makes waffles for everyone at home.
Meredith recovered enough to start seeing Nathan Riggs, Owen Hunt's former best friend, in season 13, although their relationship was complicated by the fact that Maggie confessed to Meredith that she had feelings for Riggs and Meredith was not ready to state their relationship formally or publicly.. Eventually he accepts his relationship with Riggs, but it's complicated by the return of Owen's sister, Megan Hunt, Riggs's fiancé. Meredith finds herself in another triangular love when Megan rejects Riggs because she still loves Meredith, but Meredith encourages them to be together. After his relationship with Riggs ended, Meredith was nominated for the Harper Avery Award for his first operation at Megan. In the 300th episode, after failing to attend the awards ceremony to undergo medical trauma, after surgery, Meredith studied with all of her closest friends in the OR and gallery that she has won the Harper Avery Award.

Pompeo found Gray's Anatomy after a long time doing nothing in the acting profession. His agent suggested he audition among other projects. While casting the actress for part of Meredith Gray, creator of the Shonda Rhimes series said: "I keep saying we need a girl like the girl from Moonlight Mile, and after a while, they're like, 'We thought we could get the girl from Moonlight Mile. "I spent time with her and got to know her, and then we started casting for the men." She reports that Gray is not an easy role to cast because of the strong verbal possibilities. Rhimes was told that the actress in question was Pompeo, who had an agreement with ABC, having previously been tested for a network pilot event. It has been speculated that Pompeo was the first character to be cast, but when asked, he said he did not know about this. When asked how he created the Pompeo character, Rhimes said:
Pompeo acts as the titular character of the program, described by Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times as "a thorny, ambitious individual, and his ambivalence, fueled by the fact that his mother is a gifted surgeon and now suffers from Alzheimer's. "Gray also serves as the event's narrator, and as mentioned earlier in the review for Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), narrator and protagonist of Sex and the City. After his initial contract with Gray's Anatomy ended, Pompeo negotiated a new one, where he would be paid US $ 200,000 per episode, making it and Dempsey becoming the highest-paid member of the event. In 2012,
Pompeo's second contract with Gray's Anatomy ended after the eighth season, and there was speculation that he would leave after that. In September 2011, Pompeo reported that he was open to the idea of ​​extending his contract, if invited. He told the TV Guide: "I will never show up in my nose. [ Gray's Anatomy.] Throughout honest and honest stories, and Patrick [Dempsey] and I feel there's something for us to be passionate about, it still beats the 9-to-5 job every day.If I hear from the fans that they want us to keep going, then I will continue because we owe it all to them. " > E! Online reported in May 2012, that Pompeo, as well as all the original players have signed a contract for two more years. With the announcement of the officially renewed ninth Huffington Post , the contract is set for Pompeo to return.
The Pompeo contract expires at the end of the twelfth season. He signed a new contract to keep him in the lead role in the series for the thirteenth season. According to a report in Deadline Hollywood , Pompeo earns $ 300,000 per episode under the new deal.
On January 17, 2018, it was announced by ABC that Ellen Pompeo's contract has been renewed through season 16. Not only the renewal of the contract that ensures Pompeo's return as Meredith Gray, but also makes him the producer of Gray's Anatomy and his associates. executive producer of the spin-off series. The deal will make Pompeo the highest paid actress currently on a dramatic TV series, with her earning $ 575,000 per episode and over $ 20 million per year.
Characterization
Gray is the protagonist and the focal point of the series. He has been called "smart, compassionate, hardworking, often outspoken, easily distracted, and undecided" by the Gray Anatomy executives. Pompeo says he does not realize if his character knows how to have fun, adding: "All my scenes with [Dempsey] are the same - we either broke up or had sex." His personality has grown over the last few seasons of depression, being happy and "fixed". Pompeo said to Good Morning America, "I'm so lucky to have Patrick [Dempsey], to have the chemistry we do, we have a great relationship, and that's like any other relationship, you have your ups and downs. But we solved it, and we've found a way to do this all along and still get along, and make it work and believe in what we do. "Pompeo says Entertainment Weekly :" It's awkward with Patrick [Dempsey] because he's like my brother.As soon as the camera is turned off, I'm like, 'Is your hand on my ass?' But there are millions of girls who have been waiting for this, so I feel obligated to the fans. "Rhimes used the" Doc "dog, which Meredith and Derek shared, as a metaphor of their relationship during the second season. He characterizes Gray as doing what he thinks is true:
The character has one night stand with George O'Malley, in the second season. The author of the Stacy McKee series, said of the sexual encounter: "There is no way to go back, there is nothing George and Meredith can do, the damage has been done - it will never be the same They have just changed something important in their lives FOREVER and.... they are panic. "The development of Gray's character is also known as an influence on the creation of his stepbrother, Lexie Gray. In particular, it has been explained that both have the same motif. McKee offers his thoughts: "Meredith and Lexie both want to be successful, they want to be strong, they want to feel normal, they want, so much, to be whole, but it's true struggles for them." Hardcore does not come naturally. Sometimes, they have to fake him. "Gray's personality has been compared to Alex Karev's personality.2 Rhimes offers his insights:
"I like creating moments for her and Meredith, because in my head they are very similar people, although Karev can be like a donkey, even though she's arrogant, even though she gave O'Malley to Syph She and Meredith are both lost, both lonely, both are former people who take action together.In other lives, they will become good friends.So throughout the season, we watch them pause from time to time to see each other and see that they are the mirror of each other.
Pompeo fights for an honest storyline for his character - he wants it to be realistic and says you can not always wrap it in a neat little package. Referring to Gray's interference with Shepherd's court, Pompeo said: "Listen, what Meredith does clearly cross the line." Derek has the right to be angry. " After the interruption, Rhimes says he believes that Gray and Shepherd are meant to be together and in the end, they will end up with each other. Gray's relationship with Cristina Yang, has been seen as a "brotherhood", and Yang has repeatedly referred to Gray as "the man". This led to both being nicknamed "crooked sisters". At the end of the third season, the duo went on a "honeymoon" together, and Rhimes called it her favorite details at the end of the season. Gray has been marked, by some, as "whiny". Rhimes offers her insights:
Rhimes feels that the 100th episode shows Meredith's evolution well throughout the show from "dark and winding girls" to "happy women". She said: "She is the thing her mother wants for her, she is amazing, because, to go past your past? To continue? To let the past go and change, it's amazing To love without fear" Without messing it up? It was incredible. It makes me happy to see him happy. "
After the departure of the character of Patrick Dempsey, Rhimes was quoted as saying that "... Ã, Meredith and the whole Anatomy Gray family will enter uncharted territory as we head to a new chapter in his life.The possibilities for what may come are endless." With at least one year left in Pompeo's contract with the show, viewers will surely witness some of the most difficult times in Meredith's life.

The character development has been considered the highlight of the event. Gray is always defined as "the heroine of Gray's Anatomy." Diane Werts praised the character who stated, "Like the" House "character of the furious Hugh Laurie title, the newly minted Ellen Pompeo star Dr. Gray delivers such a substance that you can not stop watching.

Kim from After Pompeo did not receive an Emmy nomination for her job as Gray, McNamara of Los Angeles Times suggested that Pompeo," who has worked very hard and against all narrative opportunities to create Meredith Gray characters the last draw "must receive a nomination at the 61st PrimeTime Emmy Awards.

Tanner Stransky from Entertainment Weekly refers to Gray as the "trusted voice over the lord" of Gray's Anatomy .
Former television columnist for The Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall expressed his boredom on the focus given on Gray's storyline while reviewing the end of the second season: "On those occasions when Meredith was not involved in the plot about her love life. I like him, but those moments are very rare compared to his constant anxiety over McDreamy - not to mention all the seemingly unrelated plot that always turns into a metaphor for that relationship - that I really can not stand him. " In the third season of the event, character development received negative reviews, with Cristopher Monfette of IGN stating that the plot has become "some of the most underdeveloped sub-plots of depression and gives Derek a season worth reconsideration for done. "Also during the third season, Robert Rorke of New York Post notes the decline of the role of Meredit h on the show, expressing his disappointment: "She used to be the queen of romantic dilemmas, but lately, she's been a bit stupid, what's with McDreamy's endless solution. "Similarly, Macleans.ca finds their storyline in the fourth season too often used," This whole 'Oh I need more time,' but 'Oh, I'm jealous if you see the worries of others' tired in the second season, frustrated at the third and now a total channel modifier. Their will-them-or-nothing plots do not work because they've been out of that relationship for too long. Meredith is a fool and McDreamy is fired.

"Reviewing the first part of the eighth season, Fanatic TV praised the character and wrote:" This season belongs to Meredith Gray. He is the heart and soul of the show and has been circulating. This is a character that was once very dark and winding and has now grown into a more mature woman. Ellen Pompeo has been at the top of his game this season. "
Wit & amp; Fancy praised the character transformation and stated, "Of course Meredith will still make hasty decisions like when she went with Zola, or damage the trial but she does things because of her love and kindness now and not because she's dark and weighing in. Considering where Meredith was at the beginning and where he is now, I think he is going through an incredible journey and doing more than just growing up, he ends up being "whole and healed."
Maura O'Malley of Hertford also praised the character's development ahead of season 12, "When the series begins, Meredith is just a girl sitting at a bar celebrating the next phase of interest in her life.He has graduated from medical school , he started his residency at a prestigious hospital, and he only searched without bonds, one night stood up.What he got was a complicated romantic relationship that rivaled Romeo and Juliet - but the key was, he was not looking for love, working and learning - and be - his priority, while McDreamy is just an extra perk.Hopefully, Gray's Anatomy's new season will reflect this change of tone, because Meredith is a strong and independent woman - and she'll be fine. "
Later in the series, Ellen Pompeo received critical acclaim with many critics who praised her role as a character. Revisiting the episode He left home CarterMatt calling it "anchor" to Gray's words, "All along, this is the episode entirely labeled by Ellen Pompeo, who has done some of her best work on the show over the last few weeks. Tonight, she cries, she fights, and she knows that she's bringing her child. "And adds that Pompeo is often" ovelooked "saying," The subtlety is probably why he's often ignored. " Rick Porter from Zap2it reviews "How to Save a Life" writes, "Without Meredith, and without one of Pompeo's strongest performances for a long time on the show," How to Save a Life "runs the risk came as an episode of bald manipulative death, as people have done several times before.He added "How to Save Life" may not be an Emmy episode-an ideal submission to Pompeo, considering Meredith is off the screen for more than half of it. one of the best works he ever did on the show. " USA Today also praised Pompeo's saying," In some ways, the episode is even more than a display for Pompeo. more memorable and well-played, from his angry response to the doctor who tries to tell him what his choice is, of his resignation when he realizes that he should entertain and motivate the young doctor whose fault had made Derek lose his life. "
The relationship between Meredith and Cristina has been recognized and the spotlight of the show. Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considered the friendship a "secret core of Gray". Aisha Harris from Slate called their relationship Best Female Friendship on TV added that "With those two characters, show off Shonda Rhimes and her team of creators creating one of the most nuanced and realistic images of friendship on television.

He further went on to call them 'soul mates', "and although they would never dare be cheerful enough to say it, they are soul mates." Margaret Lyons of Vulture (magazine) calls friendship "the BFF dream relationship. "And the main focus of the show," One of the series calling cards is a depiction of women's friendship and especially the benefits enjoyed by friendships during romantic relationships. "

"and added," And with three words, "You are me." Cristina Yang and Meredith Gray establish their status as the best small screen best friend ever. "Marama Whyte from Hypable writes, "Critically, the key relationship in Meredith's life is not a romance with Derek Shepherd, but her passionate, indestructible friendship, and truly enviable with Cristina. McDreamy when Cristina Yang could be your man Both are real power plants, and Shonda Rhimes does not shy away from making the audience remember this Derek is the love of her life, but Cristina is her soul mate. More than anyone else, Cristina challenged Meredith, honestly told her, and inspired her. For this reason, Cristina is constantly the source of Meredith's character development, not Derek. "
The Pompeo character has also been used to define the image of a powerful lady, Bustle Preview of the 12th season of writing, "Meredith Gray is always able to be himself.The Gray Anatomy is about Meredith's journey Men and romantic interests are part of his life, but they are not his priorities, He does not need McDreamy, Gray Anatomy does not need McDreamy, so even if the authors decide to create new love interest for Ms. Gray (Martin Henderson, maybe?), that's no problem. the author of the show will do justice to this storyline, as TV needs a stronger single woman - and Meredith seems a perfect candidate. "The site adds," This past season was almost a test run for Gray's Anatomy that was lacking McDreamy.When Derek went to Washington DC to pursue his research, Meredith stayed behind and focused on his own career.He did not pursue it, his priorities were ah his children and the Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital. Meredith points out that she will never put aside her own dreams and aspirations for a man, and I believe that this will not change after Derek's death. "
