I used to believe in loving someone so much that you don’t want them to see you cry. Then I met someone who was the first person I wanted to run to when I felt like crying, and I realized the difference between what I thought love was and what it actually means. Don’t settle for someone who doesn’t want to see you sad when you can have a boy in a white tee shirt covered in mascara stains.
Yes it’s a real service. I do volunteer work for a rape crisis support service in my city and texting is one of the features we provide as well. But just to boost its credibility, I tried it myself:
Ellen Pompeo is preparing to say goodbye to Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew.
The 48-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star opened up about the departures of the two fan favorites and reflected on their last day of filming on the ABC medical drama just a few weeks ago, saying that it was difficult for everyone.
“I mean, because everything is the last, right? It’s the last time they’ll do this, it’s the last time they’ll do that. It’s the last time they’ll rehearse and it’s really emotional,” Pompeo told ET on Tuesday at the New York City launch of Young Living Essential Oils’ Seedlings baby care line. “We’re a family and they were both on the show [for] nine and 10 years. Grey’s is such an iconic show. Everybody who’s ever been on the show is meaningful to the show, right? Everybody’s meaningful to the fans.”
With just a handful of episodes left in the season, Pompeo assured Grey’s fans that Capshaw’s Dr. Arizona Robbins and Drew’s Dr. April Kepner won’t be meeting a horrific end. (Their exits were announced in March.)
“You only get killed off when your behavior is bad. If you’re a nice actor, you die nice,” Pompeo said matter-of-factly, comparing Capshaw and Drew’s endings to that of former Grey’s star Sandra Oh. “[She] left in the most amazing way. She gave everybody so much notice. She knew 10 seasons was all she wanted to do and they don’t get much classier than Sandra Oh. But yeah, these endings aren’t tragic.”
Pompeo also shared her personal reaction when she learned that Capshaw and Drew would be leaving after the 14th season, seemingly reiterating that she wasn’t part of the decision.
“My first reaction was, ‘What? What do you mean? Why?’ And then you go through levels and stages of grief. It’s hard for them, it’s hard for us, it’s hard for the writer who had to make the choice, [who] had to make the creative decision,” Pompeo said, adding, “You have to try to support the girls. It’s just not easy for anyone, but I don’t want to make it about me. It’s about them and I just tried to be just as supportive as I could be to everyone involved.”
As for what awaits in the May 17 season closer, Pompeo said it’ll be a “classic Grey’s finale.”
“It’s gonna be devastating. And then we’re gonna pull you out of devastating and make you smile,” she promised.
“Adrenaline is the body’s response to stressful situations. It’s one of many biochemical compounds our bodies produce that alter our state of consciousness. Oxytocin makes us feel bonded with others. Dopamine makes us more alert and motivates us to seek reward. A lack of serotonin has been linked to depression. GABA, an amino acid neurotransmitter, helps reduce anxiety. And endorphins create a heightened state of happiness. Like the kind we feel when we win.”
“Surgeons can benefit from altered states of consciousness, but only when they’re achieved naturally. The lows drive us to do better. The highs of saving a life are the reward for a job well done. And then there are times when our state of mind is altered, and it has nothing to do with brain chemistry. New opportunities open us up to greater possibilities. New information and a new perspective can permanently shift our consciousness, and the way we see the world will never be the same." ~ Meredith Grey 14x20 - “Judgment Day”
thesarahdrew: They also brought out this gorgeous cake, and I had to cut out my face and bring it home to my kids!! They got such a huge kick out of it!
jessicacapshaw: #FBF Yesterday was my last day playing Arizona Robbins after 10 years. It was a tough day. And it turns out that if you’re me it’s also…
Joyous.
Sad.
Exhausting.
Hysterical.
Ridiculous.
Heartbreaking.
Inspiring.
Wondrous.
And a whole other list of stuff that it’s gonna take me a minute to fully feel.
Those who were filming yesterday and I were fortunate enough to go through all of that together. I am so grateful to have had @thesarahdrew beside me and I am so grateful to have been alongside her.
My first day playing Arizona Robbins was October 29th, 2008 and my last day playing her was April 19th, 2018…💕
