The Legacy of Grey's Anatomy Characters: Where Are They Now?
Grey's Anatomy made its debut on March 27, 2005, introducing audiences to a cast of characters led by surgical resident Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo. The show's ensemble has kept viewers engaged for 15 years, despite the departure of several key characters. Many memorable faces, including Justin Chambers as Alex Karev, have left the series over the years. Chambers' departure after 16 seasons left fans shocked, especially since his character did not receive a proper send-off on the show.
Kelly McCreary bid farewell to her character, Maggie Pierce, after nine seasons on the show. Reflecting on her time with Grey's Anatomy, McCreary expressed profound gratitude for the opportunity to bring Maggie to life and connect with a global audience. Similarly, Richard Flood, who played Cormac Hayes, departed the show after three years, citing a natural end to his character's arc and story developments affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Legendary actress Sandra Oh, who portrayed Cristina Yang, has continued to shine in various TV shows since her departure from Grey's in 2014. Oh's performance in Killing Eve earned her a Golden Globe award and a spot on Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People list. On the other hand, Isaiah Washington, known for his role as Preston Burke, faced controversy that led to his exit from the show in 2007.
