According to variety, Ellen Pompeo has accepted a role in a mini-series of the Hulu platform, which will be inspired by real events. The website Just Jared revealed the synopsis of this new program in one of his articles: “A Midwestern couple adopts what they believe to be an 8-year-old girl with a rare form of dwarfism. But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, they slowly begin to believe that she may not be who she says she is.” could we read.
An exciting scenario, which should however push the 52-year-old actress to considerably reduce her appearances in the series Grey’s Anatomy, in which she plays the character of Meredith Grey. A role that has greatly contributed to the notoriety that it has today. If Eli’s mother will indeed be there for this season 19 at the start of the school year, her screen presence will be in a “limited capacity”, reported the site TVLine this Wednesday, August 3. She should star in only eight episodes, knowing that on average, a season of this series usually has between 20 and 24 episodes.
The series continues, a bad choice?
As a reminder, last January, the ABC channel announced the renewal of the series, while some fans feared the worst by considering a potential end to come. But in December 2021, Ellen Pompeo made headlines when she said she had “tried to concentrate to convince everyone that [Grey’s] had to end“. In an interview with Initiatedshe said:I feel like the super naive who keeps saying, ‘But what’s the story going to be, what’s the story are we going to tell?’ Everybody’s like, ‘Who cares, Ellen? It’s worth a billion dollars’“, she had revealed.
It remains to be seen whether this greatly diminished appearance will not turn into a simple departure for the actress, who has evolved a lot physically since the launch of the series. In this case, the lack should be felt, as his character is important in the program.
