Ellen Pompeo Just Shared a Video With ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Costar Justin Chambers

It’s a Grey Sloan Memorial reunion! Meredith Grey, I mean…Ellen Pompeo is casually hanging out with her Grey’s Anatomy costars Justin Chambers and Eric Dane. This is a Very Big Deal to any Grey’s fan. Justin’s character, Alex Karev, and Eric’s character, Mark “McSteamy” Sloan (lol) are no longer on the medical drama. The fan-favorite characters are missed, so it’s super exciting seeing the gang back together!

Ellen shared a bunch of videos and photos to her Instagram Story, showing a night out with the onscreen docs. TFTI, El. Eric and Ellen are shown hanging out and then Justin comes into the frame and jokingly asks them, “What would you like for dinner?” Cuuute.

Justin unexpectedly exited the long-running series after 16 seasons. He didn’t get a proper send-off (that whole ditching Jo for Izzie thing doesn’t count) *sigh*, but at least he wasn’t killed off. So there’s still hope his character could make another appearance.

Ellen also posted pics of Justin and Eric, writing, “It’s a hard knock life.”

Justin released a statement to Entertainment Tonight after it was announced that he was leaving the show:

“There’s no good time to say goodbye to a show and character that’s defined so much of my life for the past 15 years. For some time now, however, I have hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices. And as I turn 50 and am blessed with my remarkable, supportive wife and five wonderful children, now is that time.

“As I move on from Grey’s Anatomy, I want to thank the ABC family, Shonda Rhimes, original cast members Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, and James Pickens, and the rest of the amazing cast and crew, both past and present, and, of course, the fans for an extraordinary ride.”

Thankfully, we saw Sloan again on “the beach” this season, and fingers crossed Karev makes another appearance too!
