TOW #27 (Article): The Sad Death of McDreamy

    In a recent article done by EW, it was announced that fans have started a petition to bring McDreamy back. McDreamy or better known as actor Patrick Dempsey plays doctor Derek Shepherd on the very popular drama series: Grey's Anatomy. The nickname he is given in the show is McDreamy because of his good looks. He is known as the head of neurosurgery and is a huge character in the show. In the latest episode, McDreamy died causing fans to be shocked to the point of tears. While, at first, fans were mourning, they then started to get a little angry. After all, Derek has been a part of Grey's for 10 seasons and they suddenly kill him off? Most fans were also angry about how he was killed. In order to not give any spoilers, lets just say that the death he was given wasn't worthy of someone with his importance. The article quoted various fans who said the following: "It’s like you’ve killed the President ofGrey’s Anatomy!” Others said: "You do NOT get to toy with our lives and emotions like this Shonda, NO! That is NOT RIGHT! How do you sleep at night?!?!! Shonda is the showrunner, and most people actually told her to make the death some type of hallucination or dream. However, most fans need to realize that this wasn't a choice. Actor Patrick Dempsey wanted to go on to do other things, so killing him off the show was the only option. In my opinion, it is better than him just disappearing like Doctor Burke did a few seasons ago. At least the fans/characters can grieve, allowing Doctor McDreamy to forever be in our hearts. He can be right there with Doctor Burke, George, Izzie, Lexi, and McSteamy (Doctor Sloan) in Grey's Anatomy's list of lost characters.
