Patrick Dempsey (57) turns out to be a big Grey’s Anatomy fan! The popular medical series will celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 2024 and is bringing out a new season with many changes to mark this special anniversary. The numerous main actors around Ellen Pompeo (54) and Co. owe a lot to the series. But not only that – loud Patrick “Grey’s Anatomy” even changed the world.
“It has inspired so many people to pursue a career in medicine,” the 57-year-old said of the series on the TV show “Good Morning America,” adding, “I think that’s the greatest gift of this show: To be able to do something positive and give something back.” There are no proven figures that show that people actually became interested in medical careers because of “Grey’s Anatomy”.
On the occasion of the anniversary, the producers are pulling out all the stops once again: There should be a new generation of doctors. These include, among others, the actors Harry Shum Jr. (41), Alexis Floyd (30) and Adelaide Kane. Even long-loved characters remain with fans. In particular, Teddy (Kim Raver, 54) and her husband Owen (Kevin McKidd, 50) are supposed to cause a lot of drama: It is not yet clear whether Teddy will survive her collapse in season 19. However, the participation of actress Kim already confirmed in the new season.
