Is it the end of the road for McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy? If Patrick Dempsey has it his way, then yes. In the new issue of the Italian Vanity Fair, the actor hinted that the upcoming eight season of the hit medical drama will be his last. He told the magazine that he does not know what will happen to the other characters but he can’t see himself doing the show anymore. His representative however was quick to back pedal issuing a statement saying Dempsey was not leaving the show and that he was referring to the fact that his contract is up at the end of next season and the actor has no idea what the future holds. Dempsey plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on the show.
