"[Shonda Rhimes] is planning a number of [season's] out… We would like to see it on the network for many years to come."
While this is good news for fans of the long running tv show, fans of Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh may not like the fact that Lee wouldn't comment on their futures with the show. All he said was, "If I commented on who is coming in and out, I think Shonda would yell at me."
The fact that he wouldn't comment on the issue and the fact that their contracts are up in May, I'd be surprised if they come back. If they do come back at all, it'll probably be in a "special guest star" capacity.
It was also confirmed that Grey's Anatomy and their other hit dramas (Scandal, Nashville, Once Upon a Time and Revenge) will have a split-season schedule. That means that the first half of the season will air with no breaks, there will then be a hiatus of about two months and then, the final half of the season will air with no breaks.
Personally, I'm happy with the split-season news because it was pretty annoying getting a few new episodes and then have to deal with one repeat or more before a new episode. Plus, it's a good way to keep viewers because I can remember reading comments during season 9 about people feeling the same way I did and how some missed a new episode because they weren't aware that there was going to be a new episode that week. I think the split-season idea will solve those issues and I'm happy about that.
