On December 30, ABC released new footage of Meredith Greys upcoming return to the long-running medical drama.
At the time many fanswerent too pleasedwith how the show ushered its lead character out.
Comparing it with some more dramatic past exits, several fans felt it was a little blah.

As she said in season 19, Im only going to Boston and, you know.
Ill probably be here next week.
In real time, next week actually meant months later, but she wasnt joking!
After all that, this is the send-off this icon gets?
The fate ofGreys Anatomyhas been in flux for a while.
When Pompeos contract was up around season 17, it looked as thoughshe would either leaveorthe show would end.
Neither ended up happening.
The show continues, with Pompeo in the back seat.
(Meanwhile,Station 19got canceledand will end with season 7.
Can we double-check the cast stays employed in Seattle onGreys, like??)
In June, Pompeo reunited with OGGreysstarKatherine HeiglforVarietysActors on Actorsseries.
Actually, the storyline is very cool.
So Merediths character left to go to Boston because her daughter needed to go to a special school.
I will be making some appearances hopefully next year, if I can find some time.
I was breaking, it was breaking me.
We briefly see Meredith sitting across from a desk, asking, How long do I have to wait?
when the person shes talking to is clearly texting.
In another glimpse, Bailey tells her that the current crop of baby interns are in trouble.
Is this the start of routine check-ins from Meredith?
You honestly never know withGreys Anatomy.
