It was a Greys Anatomy reunion over the weekend with Ellen Pompeo dining out with not one, but two of the show’s ex hot docs.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Ellen showed off her rather attractive dinner companion, someone who we all managed to catch up with when he made his appearance on ‘the beach’ to assist Meredith with her decision to battle to live or give in and die of Covid.
Ellen Pompeo Shares Some Grey’s Anatomy Love With Ex Cast Mates on Instagram
The smiley twosome of Ellen and Eric Dane- Mark ‘McSteamy’ Sloan first appeared on the Instagram story, and were soon joined by their bleach blonde, bespectacled waiter…who looked kind of familiar.
“What would you like for dinner?” the waiter asks in the clip before Pompeo dissolves into giggles.
For the first time since his abrupt Greys Anatomy exit 18 moths ago- a very different look Justin Chambers – Alex Karev was seen horsing around with his on screen BFF, Meredith!
It was the reunion we didn’t know we needed.
Chambers has kept a very low profile since his abrupt exit that sent writers into overdrive, trying to come up with a plausible reason as to why one of the show’s mainstays was suddenly no longer on our screens.
Unbeknown to fans- or the production team- Chambers had filmed his final scenes two months prior and refused to return on screen to wrap his storyline up. He finally agreed to voiceover a letter to his new wife, Jo Wilson(Camilla Luddington) explaining that he had left her to go back to ex-wife Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl) after he discovered she had used the embryos they had created when Izzy was stricken with brain cancer and the pair now had two children.
Yes, it came off as clumsy on screen as it sounds- but what can you do?
Though fans were not too happy with Chambers, we are glad to see he and his fellow cast mates can still get together and have a little fun, and that there are no hurt feelings at how he chose to depart from the show- something that, to this day, has never truly been explained.
If watching Pompeo’s Instastories is now the only way to see Drs. Grey, Sloan and Karev together again- we’ll do it. More content please, Ellen!
