'Grey's Anatomy' Season 12 News: Ellen Pompeo Praises Denzel Washington
With fans patiently waiting for the return of "Greys Anatomy" season 12, the star of the series was able to share some details about the episodes to come.
It was reported that Ellen Pompeo, who plays the role of Meredith, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the second half of season12. She expressed her excitement over the release of the series' first episode of 2016.
According to Pompeo, the upcoming episode titled "The Sound of Silence" was directed by the two-time Oscar award winner, Denzel Washington. Pompeo explained, "I'm super excited for the fans to see episode 1209, directed by Denzel Washington. It's for sure the best thing I've ever done on the show. We've never had anybody of his caliber come and direct our show ever."
There was a recently leaked video that was taken from the set of the series, featuring Chandra Wilson, who plays Dr. Bailey. It also showed Pompeo portraying her character Meredith, who seemed to be injured sporting a cast for her left arm and leg.
While the leaked video brought some more questions for the story line, it was reported that the upcoming return will soon bring much-needed answers. The midseason finale of the series ended with some couples facing challenges in their relationships.
Alex, played by Justin Chambers, had just tried to save his relationship with Jo, played by Camilla Luddington, by asking for her hand in marriage. However, the episode ended without receiving a straight answer from Jo, who just tried to break things up with Alex.
Meanwhile, April, played by Sarah Drew, and Jackson, played by Jesse Williams, were also trying to handle their relationship problems. However, it was hinted that the two might be finalizing their divorce in the episodes to come.
Fans will just have to wait to find out the fate of their relationships when the series returns on ABC on Feb. 11.
