In a new book about the landmark series, one 'Grey's Anatomy' producer recalled 'HR issues' swirling around actor Patrick Dempsey before his departure.
At one point in the unauthorized account — which includes interviews with cast members and creatives — a former executive producer on the program accuses Dempsey of “terrorizing the set” ahead of his fan-favorite character Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd’s sudden demise.
Another former executive producer on the show, Jeannine Renshaw, recalled observing tension between Dempsey and costar Ellen Pompeo, who starred opposite one another as love interests for years.There were times where Ellen was frustrated with Patrick and she would get angry that he wasn’t working as much,” Renshaw said. “She was very big on having things be fair.
According to Renshaw, the “last straw” occurred when writer-creator Rhimes, who had received complaints, finally witnessed Dempsey’s alleged misconduct firsthand. McDreamy was later written off the show, killed in a brutal car accident.In its Season 17 premiere, the medical soap once again left fans’ jaws on the floor by bringing back a beloved cast member from its early years.
