Showrunner Shona Rhimes might have realized the extra value of Patrick Dempsey to the show that is why she has brought in Martin Henderson not only to fill in the slot in the acting and storyline departments but also in the looks part.
In fact, reports are now rife that Martin Henderson, who shall take on a role of being the new doctor in Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital will become the new love interest of Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo.
In an interview, Ellen said that Martin will be the show’s and Meredith’s new McDreamy, and the actress is quite excited to work with him.
Meanwhile, Shonda Rhimes has put an end to the rumors that have been going around for quite some time now that Katherine Heigl, who previously played Izzie in the early seasons of the medical drama TV series, will return to the show.
TV Line’s Michael Ausiello publicly called on Rhimes to bury the hatchet and give “Grey’s Anatomy” fans closure to the Alex-Izzie love story almost four months ago. He did it again on August 3 face-to-face with Rhimes during the ABC’s Television Critics Association press tour-themed at the Beverly Hilton.
Ausiello was actually espousing for a one or two-episode guesting appearance for Heighl in the series but Rhimes was firm and she shut the writer down quite hard.
