  1. Greys anatomy has never been the same without Patrick Dempsey he was the star of the show . He did a couple of stupid things but not enough to get him sacked and it was in his private life . He was the most charismatic actor in any series I have ever seen . I wish that Ellen Pompei would just be happy with her $20 million per episode and stop trying to make out how innocent everyone in GA was. I think everyone knows who was to blame for him being sacked and ruined the storylines.
