Oh I know you could and I've seen it in person. You and tequila never fail to amaze me, as well as amuse me. I had a lot of fun this week, I almost didn't want it to end just because then I wouldn't get to see you as often. Would it be terrible to admit that I'm getting Pompeo withdrawals already?

[ellenkpompeo]

Are you implying I'm your own personal clown? You know, I could get on board with that. You do happen to entertain me yourself and quite often. Our time together always seems to speed by at an alarming rate. Maybe that's the universe's way of telling us to prolong it. Just a thought. No, not terrible when I'm experiencing the Dempsey blues.

MEREDITH GREY in GREY'S ANATOMY

⤿ season 20, episode 3

[caterinahills]

Sh, we're going to ignore that fact. Most of my kids are young enough to think that I'm the coolest. I'm going to enjoy every second of that fact. I love the kids as babies, but seeing their personalities and how different they are? It's something special. Makes me wonder how my new little one is going to be. Although I don't know if I could handle another Eliza. Love her head strongness but oh boy, the sass. Please tell me yours are being a little kinder to you in that department. You in your hot, single era is something I'm living for. If you do end up on the beach - let me know. I'll live through you and the other girls.

[ellenkpompeo]

You're lucky for it. Enjoy it while it lasts or who knows? Your kids might think you're cool forever. You are infinitely cooler than me after all. I could be projecting to make myself feel better. Your kids are all wonderful little angels. Therefore, your new baby will turn out just like that. They have a wonderful person to take after. I am, until someone locks it down. If that someone decides to. Until then, waking up on the beach will be my thing. Did you have a fun time at the festival?

[jessicachills]

I'm sure that we could still get Cat to party with us. She can be the sober one, herding us around like cats. It's the way to go, isn't it? But you already know I'm dragging Camilla along with me. She's been hiding but I'll find her. Wanna join a Camilla hunt? It's like a lion one, but more scary. How often does Chris have the kids? My Chris... well, he's not really mine, but you know what I mean, we're doing week on, week off.

[ellenkpompeo]

We're going to have to do this soon. We'll drag Cat in, not let her give us a 'no' for an answer. I have the kids most days. They're very attached to me and he's still getting his new place sorted out. Turns out it takes a long time. For him anyway. He had to have the basement floor turned into a recording studio and I guess the wiring has been a pain. He doesn't want to have the kids while there's construction going, but he does take them to the beach house when he has them. I don't mind it too much. I don't like being apart from them.

ELLEN POMPEO as Meredith Grey in Greys Anatomy (2005—)

[jessicachills]

Getting wasted with my favorite co-star? Sounds like a good plan to me. Don't tell Camilla. I don't know if I can handle her heartbreak with this news. We've clearly got to show the kids how this is done. While we enjoy our kid free week, right?

[ellenkpompeo]

Now that's the spirit, Jess. I knew I could count on you to reciprocate. Cat gets a pass because she's pregnant, but Camilla needs to wise up and join in. It's not very often we're kid free. We have to take advantage of it while we can.

[patdcmsy1]

I don't know about you, but I'm not sure that I can keep up with these kids when it comes to a concert every night until the early hours. All I'm saying is, I have a hotel room all to myself, if you ever need to get away from the chaos. // @ellenkpompeo

[ellenkpompeo]

I'll come, but let's get one thing cleared away. I could very easily keep up with these kids. Just get some tequila in me and I'm as good as new. Invading your room is a welcomed experience. Besides, I've missed you.

[caterinahills]

We're all cool moms and one day our kids are going to realize this. And if they deny that status then they're lying. Keeping the kids at home was a wise move. I'm glad most of mine are far too young to even know what a music festival actually involves, otherwise they'd be begging me to come along. I mean, some of the artist here? Eliza would be dying to see them. Blackpink and Taylor Swift especially. Only one of my kids is coming along and thats cause we don't have a choice in the matter. Catch me sitting down for most of the sets I do attend. Are we jamming out to T-Swift? I'm 100% on board with ditching Bradley and spending time with you. Maybe we'll get everyone else to join us, too. Camilla, Jess, Sarah, Adelaide, Jesse, Pat... it's a Greys take over. And my brain probably forgot someone. We'll blame it on baby brain. I forget where I put the milk half the time. I'll be the one to come and rescue you in the morning cause I am not sleeping on the beach. As much as I love you, El.

[ellenkpompeo]

Saying we're cool moms probably takes away from the cool factor. That's just my two cents. Enjoy it while you're there because mine are quickly getting older. I dread the years as they pass us by. I miss them as little babies. Though I know I'm very blessed to see them growing every day. I'm all for ditching the men and rocking out to Taylor Swift. We can make it a Greys' Girls take over instead. I could even talk some of them into doing the beach night thing with me. If it's not too cold. Our nights have been freezing here lately. It's not so bad... If you're drunk enough.

[ellenkpompeo]

Please tell me that you're on a mission to get wasted here too. I can't be the only one doing that in front of these youngsters. That'll just be sad and I can't have that. / @jessicachills

[ellenkpompeo]

Are you as surprised as me that I'm at a music festival shin dig? I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom. Except I'm not bringing my kids to this. There's no way. I get this comfy big suite all to myself and I get to see you all outside of work? Sounds like paradise. They'll understand, right? Don't tell me you brought your kiddos along... I can't be the only one trying to wake up drunk on the beach...or in your case sober. / @caterinahills

[ellenkpompeo]

Real life has forced me back from my Bahamas trip and bubble. I hear your return has caused quite the commotion, Jess. How does it feel to step back into the white coat? I can tell you that you were missed by everyone all around. / @jessicachills

[caterinahills]

Private: Are you really putting down the feelings towards playing characters, El? Because that is such a cop out. It's been years since MerDer has been a proper thing on screen. Minus that one episode. It's okay to catch feelings for co-stars. It happens. What kind of details are you wanting? There's not too much to be missed. We've found each other again and enjoying being with each other. Oh - and he finally gave me a ring while we were on vacation. Reproposed to me and everything. We're finally back home too. Flying from Fiji to London, then to LA a day later - my body can't handle all this jetlag, ha. For you? I'm always free.

[ellenkpompeo]

Private: Yeah, I'm taking the coward's cop out because it feels easier. Honestly. Things are very much up in the air with him. I know I've been a little MIA. I decided to take the kids on a trip after Fiji to make up for the tabloid drama that ensued from that. I haven't talked to Patrick since then either. Figured it'd be best to just steer clear until the dust settles. I did see a pregnancy launch on social media? I'm forever out of the loop these days, but hello? I need details on that and stat! When are we meeting for mocktails?

[jessicachills]

I think it's safe to say that collective - we've ruined the Greys fandom this month. And as much as I would love to keep doing that by posting photos of us together - I may refrain from that. Feeling generous and all that. In saying that - we definitely need to get lunch, or some drinks together sometime soon. @ellenkpompeo

[ellenkpompeo]

I don't think anyone saw the return of Arizona Robbins coming. They're right in losing their minds as having you back with us is a big deal. I've been waiting for this moment! I was just telling Sarah that maybe it's time Japril returns as well. Have it be a good 'ole reunion. I'll never pass up the chance to get a drink with you. Maybe we make this a group endeavor. Have a ladies' night.

[kcnnyjcnncr-deactivated20241028]

Will you just stop? It happens. Heck, I am the one who was the last to know about you, Chandra, Justin, Katherine, and Cheif were at the Emmys all together I feel. I was at the different pre-parties and even a few after the actual awards ceremony yet I did not actually sit down to watch until after the pictures were all posted. You and Stella looked amazing, by the way, like usual. You know I am always a phone call away. Seeing that Jessica and some others are coming back this season you just never know what could happen. When are you free? We have something to celebrate after all with Caterina, I hear!

[ellenkpompeo]

Oh, that was a fun time. I don't blame you for not being aware of it. A lot happened during that award show. Thank you! It was her first award show and I'm a little afraid of how much she loved it. She might just want to keep going to them. This is very true and we all miss having you and Jesse on the show. Maybe Japril needs to make a comeback. I'm back in Los Angeles and I'm pretty much free until next month.

[caterinahills]

Private: That was probably a poor choice of words. I don't know, El. Is it as bad as ending your marriage? You're the only one who knows in your heart how you're feeling about all of this. I don't know the last time I was this happy. Bradley and I are in such a good place right now. And I'm so ready for this vacation. Tell me that you and I are going to get some relaxation time together. I need a proper catch up with you that isn't work related.

[ellenkpompeo]

Private: I know what you meant. There's a lot of history there, a lot to lose. I'll be fine. I never expected anything more to come from a mere kiss. It's Pat and I after all. Things got carried away in the heat of the moment and after being Meredith and Derek for so long, it's normal to fall into old patterns. That's all it was. I feel like I've missed so much on the Bradley and Cat details! Do catch me up. I'm so happy you're happy. You're so deserving of this joy. I'm back in Los Angeles now. When are you free for a drink?

[patdcmsy1]

Yes, well I guess things have changed a little since then. That's all you can do, you can't expect to be over someone so quickly, even if you are divorced. You spent a long time together, it's difficult to move passed that and learn to do things by yourself. But you'll get there. I'll always make sure I keep a bottle of tequila in the cupboard, just in case you ever need a friend. Because I'll always be there for you El, no matter what happened.

[ellenkpompeo]

I know that, I meant nothing by it. In case that wasn't clear. I'm happy for you, Patty. I respect what you're doing. Even if it was interesting timing. I'll be fine, I know. It's just an adjustment. Oh, there's no need for that. There's a very low chance of me showing up at your door again. We both know Jillian wouldn't like that and I wouldn't blame her for it.

[kcnnyjcnncr-deactivated20241028]

Oh my goodness, I thought everyone and even aliens knew with all the publicity that came from it. It was mentioned on all the talk shows and entertainment programs. I was in total awe, Ellen, I really was. I know you have and we all have been lucky to work and meet some greats having worked on Grey's Anatomy as long as we have or did. You know I miss the cast and the set, I would totally be there in a heartbeat if they ever asked me back. I am really good, I cannot complain. Just getting used to the idea of living on both coasts again. I was talking to Caterina and suggested to her a girls night the three of us. What do you think?

[ellenkpompeo]

I'm horrible about being online these days. With my marriage ending and all, I steer clear of it all to avoid seeing comments. You know how the public loves to comment on things they know nothing about. We were very lucky to have you. We need you back! I'm going to have to subtlety mention that we need you back... Very loudly... A girl's night sounds like a dream. When are you thinking?
