Sometimes, you just have to call it like it is. And right now it’s a pretty terrible time to be a TV fan—especially if you are a fan of
Grey’s Anatomy or The Vampire Diaries. First, TVD fans heard the news, from Nina Dobrev herself , that she is leaving the show after six seasons, because she wants to, which was devastating to fans who believe she is the rock of the show, and the show should not go on without her. Then, Patrick Dempsey, yet another lead on a beloved, long-running show, was killed off of Grey’s Anatomy. It feels odd even now, a full week later, writing those words. Because the death was so unexpected. Yes, there were rumblings of “diva behavior” on set, and even Patrick himself hinted in an interview that he would be leaving soon, but the way in which his character Dr. Derek Shepherd was killed off rocked fans to the very core. There is a lot of anger. And a lot of hurt.
