A quick look at Grey's Anatomy plot and cast
Grey's Anatomy focuses on the lives of several doctors and other staff working at a hospital. Until midway through the ongoing season, Ellen Pompeo's Meredith Grey was the de facto protagonist of the show. It has now shifted to a more ensemble drama format, focusing extensively on multiple characters. Take a look at a short description of the show, according to Rotten Tomatoes:
''The medical drama series focuses on a group of doctors at a hospital in Seattle, including several who began their careers at the facility as interns. One of the doctors and the show's namesake, Meredith Grey, is the daughter of a famous surgeon.''
The description further reads,
''She struggles to maintain relationships with her colleagues, particularly the hospital's one-time chief of surgery, Richard Webber, due to a pre-existing relationship between them -- Webber and Meredith's mother had a personal relationship when Meredith was young.''
Ellen Pompeo has been brilliant throughout the show's run, and her performance was one of the defining elements of the show. The rest of the ensemble cast includes actors like Chandra Wilson, Kelly McCreary, and Kim Raver, among many more.
