Ellen Pompeo Reveals Grey’s Anatomy Storyline She Was “Deeply Against”



Ellen
Pompeo


knows
Meredith
Grey
doesn’t
play
by
the
rules. 


And
that’s
why
she
was
appalled
by
a
recent




Grey’s
Anatomy


storyline
that
saw
her
character
turn
in


Lena
Waithe
’s
Dr.
Evynn
Moore
for
gaming
the
United
Network
for
Organ
Sharing
(UNOS)
system. 


In
the


March


episode,
Waithe’s
Evynn
had
lied
to
Meredith—who
has
been
working
to
find
a
cure
for
Alzheimer’s
for
several
seasons—about
her
wife’s
diagnosis
with
the
neurodegenerative
disease
in
order
to
get
her
a
life-saving
kidney
transplant.
Pompeo,
however,
was
not
sold
by
what
Meredith
did
next. 


“The
Meredith
Grey
that
I’ve
created
would
have
always
been
like,
‘I’m
pissed
that
you
lied,
[but]
let’s
figure
out
how
to
game
the
system
together
to
get
you
this
f–king
liver,”
Pompeo
explained
to




Variety


in
an
article
published
April
29.
“F–k
the
system.
The
system
is
broken.’”


Waithe
ultimately
convinced
Pompeo
to
go
through
with
the
episode,
saying
Meredith
might
have
felt
compelled
to
report
to
UNOS
given
that
her
current
love
interest
Dr.
Nick
Marsh
(
Scott
Speedman
)

is
a
transplant
surgeon.
