The Original Cast Will Return
The contract negotiations with the original cast members of Grey's Anatomy have dragged on and on for months, however it would seem fans can rest easy. According to Deadline the six orignals: Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh, Patrick Dempsey, Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers and James Pickens Jnr will be back on Grey's Anatomy in Season 9. News broke today that all six originals renewed their contracts for two more years and will be back for Season 9.
Fans must be breathing a huge sigh of relief, I know I am. It was my wish that they would all be back for Season 9. However, this news makes us all wonder who the beloved character is that dies in a little over a week's time. This recent revelation brings up the question of why? Why does someone have to die if it's not contract related. I don't think we can assume anyone is safe outside of the original characters. But it makes you wonder if one of the actors wants out and we have not heard about it.
It could be any of the other eight actors that check out on May 17. Callie, Arizona, Jackson, Owen, Teddy, April, Mark or Lexie. That still leaves the door wide open for it to be a beloved character as Shonda as said in her interview. However, it could all be a big gee up to get ratings.
So are you disappointed that this news has come to light before the finale? Shonda did say that she was hoping the details of the originals' contracts would not leak out before the finale went to air. Perhaps this news was inevitable given that I am reasonably sure that I read somewhere the network have until the 15 May to announce their renewed shows for next season.
Given the news regarding contract negotiations it still leaves the field wide open as to who it could be. I'm guessing there will be plenty of speculation after the second last episode, Migration goes to air tomorrow night.
