Despite being one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, earning an estimated $20 million per year, this is not the first time the 52-year-old has spoken out about wanting to end the show that shot her to fame.
Back in February, on CBS Morning Sunday, she expressed her initial hesitancy about going ahead with season 18 and hinted that it might be the hit drama's last.
"We honestly have not decided. We're really trying to figure it out right now,” she said at the time. “It's... what story do we tell? To end a show this iconic, you know, how do we do it?
"I just want to make sure we do this character and this show and the fans - I want to make sure we do it right.”
In the meantime, while she waits for everyone to agree with her, Ellen has been focusing on using her platform on-and-off screen to highlight the stories of marginalised groups. One of the ways in which she does this is through her podcast, Tell Me with Ellen Pompeo.
We may be saying goodbye to Grey's Anatomy, but Ellen Pompeo isn't going anywhere.Explore more on these topics:
