Shonda teased that season 12 will be “lighter in tone” and will show Meredith in a position she never thought she’d be in, as a widowed mother.

Another question that comes to mind, especially with the casting of Martin Henderson, is if Meredith will stay single? That was going to suggest that the love was not true, the thing we had said for 11 years was a lie and McDreamy wasn’t McDreamy.
Fans of the popular medical drama series “Grey’s Anatomy” were shocked, saddened, and probably even infuriated when the showrunners of the series decided to cut Derek “McDreamy” Sheppard’s life short in the previous season. Patrick has a lot of outside interests.
“Meredith and Derek’s love had to remain Meredith and Derek’s love, so in order to preserve that, as painful as it was for me as a storyteller, Derek was going to have to die”, she told the audience Tuesday at the Television Critics Association press tour, according to USA Today. But ABC entertainment chief Paul Lee apparently had no problem with it.
However, Rhimes said the decision was mutual.
The other actors are all still present and the writing is strong, but so many assumed that the story was going to end with Meredith and Derek together and happy … and now his death has changed everything.
Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) had to decide to pull the plug on his husband seeing that he was already brain-dead but not before she said good-bye to him.
“So many individuals lose their spouses in a myriad of various methods and really feel they can not rise up once more and to inform the story of how life goes on after… that is a narrative value telling”. You think, ‘How can the show go on?’ But that’s how the writers find inspiration.
“It was great, wasn’t it?” he said of the demise of Dempsey’s character, which dramatically shook up the Season 11 storyline and the hearts of fans. You’re going to see some classic Bailey stuff, some classic Bailey behavior. The theme is rebirth, which I’m exited about for all the characters but really for Meredith.
