Richard & Judy UK Talkshow - June 20
 | Ellen also revealed that the chemistry between the Grey's Anatomy cast is the secret to its success. Speaking on the TV show Richard and Judy she said: "The chemistry of the cast is just lightening in a bottle. You can't sort of plan it, you can't predict it. |
"They all are very, very skilled actors and really make you feel the stories."
Ellen also revealed how she and her co-star Patrick Dempsey are neighbours.
She said: "Patrick Dempsey and I were neighbours. We hadn't met but of course I had known that he lived on the street because all the girls would say 'oh Patrick Dempsey lives in that house up there'.
"And so when I tested for the role and I had to test with the would-be love interests I saw his name on the sheet and I said 'oh it's going to be him'. I had a feeling because things kind of work like that don't they."
Ellen, who loves the traditional British dish bangers and mash, had to perform a fake operation on a plastic model to win her meal on the chat show. She won three sausages.

Ellen Pompeo Reacts to Isaiah Washington News
Though Ellen Pompeo was on Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show on Friday to discuss her charity work, there was no escaping talk of her Isaiah Washington’s shocking dismissal from Grey’s Anatomy.
Pompeo also touched on Katherine Heigl’s summer movie success and Grey’s storylines for next year, but the good stuff came when Seacrest asked her about Washington and T.R. Knight’s fates. Here are those highlights:
Damage Control On Isaiah Washington’s departure:
“I got a call late last night from my lawyer…and I woke up this morning and saw it…that’s really all I know. I really can’t comment on my reaction.”
On whether she knew anything in advance:
“No. They’re very secretive about things, for obvious reasons. I guess actors have big mouths. So I didn’t really know what would happen, if anything. It’s not really my business…You just have to roll with the punches.”
On word that T.R. Knight has signed a contract to return:
“I certainly hope so. It’s such an ensemble. The show works, I think, because all of us have such great chemistry together.”

Grey's Anatomy cast on Oprah Winfrey
Airdate 17 Nov, 2006

In the show's premiere episode, Ellen's character, Meredith Grey, has a one-night stand with a man she meets in a bar…only to find out the next day that he's a top surgeon at the hospital where she's an intern. Patrick plays Dr. Derek Shepherd, a neurosurgeon who Meredith and her friends affectionately nicknamed "Dr. McDreamy."
After a brief romance, Meredith finds out that McDreamy is still married to his estranged wife, who's joining the Seattle Grace staff. Millions tuned in every week to see how this love triangle would play out. Finally, after months of waiting, Oprah and other Grey's fans were thrilled to learn that Meredith and Derek may finally make it work!
"I think it's nice we've gone through that phase of the relationship and we're now going forward, and we can see how they work out their conflicts," Patrick says.
Ellen says she's also excited that her character's true love finally came around. "It's fun to not be fighting anymore," Ellen says.

On November 10, which is Ellen's birthday, her real-life "McDreamy" proposed over a plate of French toast, she says.
"Show 'em the rock!" Patrick tells Ellen as she shows off her sparkler to Oprah.

The first question, from a fan in Seattle, is for actress Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey. How does she feel about watching those steamy sex scenes at home with her fiancé?
"It's a little bit embarrassing, I have to say," she says. "I thought I was being really clever in distracting him right at 9 o'clock. I asked him to help me with the laundry so that he wouldn't see that portion of the show. Then 20 minutes later he said, 'Hey the show's on and we're not watching it.' I said, 'That's okay. We'll get to it.' He said, 'Oh well, I have a TiVo so that's okay.'"

Airdate May 26th, 2006
Millions of fans are obsessing about the new hit medical drama, Grey's Anatomy. On May 14, 2006, 22 million people tuned in to watch the jaw-dropping season finale of Grey's, which focuses on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns, their supervisors and patients.

All season, fans have wondered what will happen to Dr. Meredith Grey (second from left), an intern who's involved in a steamy love triangle with Dr. Derek Shepherd and his wife, Addison. To complicate things even further, Meredith gets romantically involved with her dog's vet, Finn.
Will Meredith Grey choose Dr. Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey, or Finn, played by Chris O'Donnell?
Ellen Pompeo, a.k.a. Dr. Meredith Grey, says even she doesn't know who Meredith picks! "That's the one reason I can't wait to get back to work," she says. "I'm really happy to be on vacation, but I'm sort of anxious to get back because I want to read what happens!"

In the series' first episode, Ellen's character falls for Dr. Shepherd (nicknamed "McDreamy" by her fellow interns) and continues to have feelings for him…even after his estranged wife joins the hospital staff. Meredith's romance with the veterinarian develops after things with her true love seem hopeless.
If Ellen was in Meredith's scrubs and had to decide between the two doctors, what would she do? "Well, you have to follow your heart," she says.
During the Grey's Anatomy season finale, Ellen shares a steamy sex scene with co-star Patrick Dempsey. Ellen says these hot and heavy make-out sessions make Chris, her "real life McDreamy," a little uncomfortable.

Chris, Ellen's boyfriend, says he excuses himself from the room when the on-screen romance heats up. "I try not to watch too much," he says. "We were watching [the finale] in the hotel Sunday, and we had some friends over, and I kind of found something else to do."
"He's so nice and tolerant," Ellen says.
After two seasons on ABC, Grey's Anatomy is one of the top-rated televisions shows in America, but just weeks before the series premiered, Ellen says the show's future was in jeopardy. "We didn't even have an air date until a couple weeks before we finished the first season," she says. "None of us thought they would put us on the air."
Then, at the last minute, show producers changed the name from Grey's Anatomy to Complications, which Ellen says didn't test well. Once producers worked out the kinks, the show aired and the audience was hooked. Ellen attributes the success of the series to on-set chemistry and great writing. "Despite the long hours and how hard it is, I think we all really get along," she says. "We have fun, and I think people feel that."
Ellen doesn't always agree with Meredith's decisions on the show. For example, in one scene this season Meredith professes her love for Dr. Shepherd and begs him to choose her over his wife, Addison.
"I certainly know how it feels to be in love like that," Ellen says. "But I would never beg a man. I would say all those things—how I love you—without the begging. Let him step up and do something."

Ellen says doing good work, making people happy, making herself happy and having a happy home life are the most important things in her life.
Fans, Oprah—and even Ellen—are on the edge of their seats to hear what Isaiah will reveal about Dr. Burke's fate next season.
