WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Grey’s Anatomy
Killing Eve (9.25pm, BBC1) star Sandra Oh is a graduate of the hit US medical drama. Here’s what her original co-stars and the show’s creator have done since Grey’s first aired, in 2005…
Shonda Rhimes The show’s creator, 48, is now a hugely influential figure, known for hit TV shows including
Scandal, How To Get Away With
Murder and the recent Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, Station 19.
Celebrated as a champion of colour-blind casting, Shonda recently signed a new deal with entertainment giant Netflix. Ellen Pompeo Ellen’s Dr Meredith Grey is the heart of the show, and Ellen, 48, is now the highest-paid actress on US TV. Outside of Grey’s, she has begun to focus on producing, mentored by Rhimes – she has producing and directing credits on Grey’s, and is a co-producer on Station 19.
Patrick Dempsey Neurosurgeon Derek ‘McDreamy’ Shepherd became the actor’s most highprofile romantic lead. After leaving in season 11, the avid car collector, 52, has continued to indulge his love of sports car racing, and in 2016, he competed with Colin Firth for the heart of Bridget Jones in Bridget Jones’s Baby.
Katherine Heigl The actor who played Izzie Stevens graduated from child modelling to acting by way of teen sci-fi serial Roswell, and left Grey’s after series six. Katherine, 39, is known as a romcom queen in the likes of Knocked Up (2007) and Jenny’s Wedding (2015).
