He has been playing for 16 years Ellen the protagonist surgeon Dr. Meredith Gray. More recently, the actress herself has caused speculation that after the 17th season she and the series may be finished. But now a newspaper wants to know Ellen expelled and the show could continue with another doctor as the main figure!

Photo Sunday he wants to know what the producers of the successful format are thinking of Ellens Contract expiring at the end of 2020 without further extension. Presumably this is because the 51-year-old is asking for a significantly higher rate. The American earns 16.7 million euros a year with “Grey’s Anatomy”. For another season, however, he should now ask for almost € 5 million more.

One reason why manufacturers think they are simply replacing them. According to the newspaper, the first manuscripts were prepared with a new and, above all, cheaper main role. That Ellen it actually only started for “Grey’s Anatomy” salary, he had already admitted on a podcast in August: “I made the decision to make money instead of pursuing creative roles,” he added. “Jemele Hill is indifferent” explained.
