jjjmoss April 3, 2015 Share April 3, 2015 (edited) New low 1.9 for Grey's. However, A) Scandal got a 2.1 which isn't much better. B) The other two shows with higher lows this season are Modern Family and How to Get Away with Murder. For all network shows, it's in 10th place for highest season low. So it's still doing well.

springtime April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 Unfortunately, creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes did not want to talk about the shocking plot point. She did, however, release this statement to EW: “Derek Shepherd is and will always be an incredibly important character—for Meredith, for me and for the fans. I absolutely never imagined saying goodbye to our ‘McDreamy.’ Patrick Dempsey’s performance shaped Derek in a way that I know we both hope became a meaningful example—happy, sad, romantic, painful and always true—of what young women should demand from modern love. His loss will be felt by all. Now, Meredith and the entire Grey’s Anatomy family are about to enter uncharted territory as we head into this new chapter of her life. The possibilities for what may come are endless. As Ellis Grey would say: the carousel never stops turning.” http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/23/shonda-rhimes-patrick-dempsey-shepherd-dead Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/3/#findComment-1072210
choclatechip45 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 (edited) I think Shonda not talking about Derek dying is the smartest decision she has made in years. I think she tends to dig herself in a hole with comments she makes plus whatever she says is just going to piss people off. I'm more shocked she's not giving interviews than I am about Derek dying!

AnitaM86 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 I found this Vulture article particularly interesting. Shepherd's death instead felt like actual real life had crept too close to fiction. If behind-the-scenes drama motivated his death, as rumors suggest, does this constitute irresponsible storytelling? Did McDreamy — a beloved character on Grey's for 11 seasons — deserve to die like this for Dempsey's bad behavior? http://www.vulture.com/2015/04/greys-anatomy-mcdreamy-derek-shepherd-deserved-more.html 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2606-greys-anatomy-in-the-media-incident-reporting/page/3/#findComment-1073615

pennben April 25, 2015 Share April 25, 2015 (edited) Good lord, a "reporter" wrote this: Dempsey told Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive interview that his final day on the drama's Los Angeles set was "very quiet. It was raining, which was really touching." None of his costars came to the set to say goodbye before he walked alone to his car and drove home. it's unfortunate that the reporter didn't follow him home, because "After this quiet day, where he was alone and drove off in the rain, it was only out of the corner of his eye that he first glimpsed something. He slowed his car, turned his head, and there it was...a beautiful rainbow breaking through the rain. It was almost as if it were a sign. And then his phone rang (no, not THAT phone), and his agent called with an offer for a new project. He looked back at that rainbow again and smiled. He knew. Even though he was alone, he knew. I'm going to be okay." I assume that's the "let's have all the feels" the reporter was looking for.

It's about the disgraceful way Derek was written out. No one will know what affect this truly will have until the beginning of season 12.
