The End of Grey's?

According to recent rumors, one of my favorite medical dramas will soon be flatlining. Grey's Anatomy cast members are dropping as fast as their tragic patients, which the most recent casualties being Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo.

Following original cast members Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight's departures, the show has gone downhill. The story lines are getting old, the cases are getting more bizarre and the relationships have run their courses. Insiders say that Dempsey and Pompeo have deals through next season, but may not want to continue on beyond that.

While Grey's could pull an ER and reinvent themselves with a new slew of interns (paging Dr. Lexi Grey!), my guess is that the show won't survive without its golden couple. At least we will still have Private Practice to look forward to!
