Although Ellen Pompeo gave birth less than a month ago, and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ reportedly planned for Ellen (and her character, Meredith Grey) to be written out for a few episodes, it looks like that won’t be happening after all, according to E! Online’s Kristen Dos Santos.
Sources confirm that Ellen Pompeo is expected to return to the set of Grey’s Anatomy “very soon” after giving birth to baby girl Stella Luna Sept. 15. Thanks to her early return, as well as her willingness to preshoot scenes before the birth (most of which took place in bed after Meredith’s liver surgery in last night’s ep), it is working out that not a single episode will go Meredith Grey-less.
First the writers were probably scrambling to find a credible way to write out the title character; now they’re probably scrambling to find a way to write her back in!
So, sound off, you ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ fans: is this a good thing, or are there so many things going on, you wouldn’t have minded a little less of Meredith for a few episodes?

it is called Grey”s anatomy…
Never watched the show.
dont watch this show.
I have never watched GA.
i love to show. its the best.
i love love this show!! meredith’s probably my favorite character still.. pretty neutral and cute! i dont like any of the mercy west doctors yet.. except avery. reed is just annoying, i hope she gets fired.
I like the show, I’m not a huge fan of it, but I don’t mind watching. However, I think she should be in every episode.
While I know there are many people that don’t relate to Meredith (therefor don’t like her), I personally LOVE her. I’m very excited that she’s going to be around the whole time, it wouldn’t be Grey’s without her!
It’ hard for me to relate to someone who is so neurotic and self-centered and seems to sabotage her own relationships. I find the other characters to be more interesting.
True, and I suppose it wouldn’t be as interesting (for a lot of people) without all the drama she creates for herself.
true…but it is grey’s anatomy, so meredith kind of HAS to be in it haha dont ya think?
I am soo happy she won’t be missing any episodes.
can’t do without Meredith front and center.
I love Meredith, i’m happy she will be in all the episodes.
Me too.
Am I the only one who noticed she named her daughter after a bat?
Anyhow, it’s nice that she seems to have the option of whether to take a maternity leave. I understand that a lot of women in the U.S. don’t have that luxury.
Ha! Now that you said that…
I’m really liking her this season. Her character has really grown and she’s not so dark and twisty these days. With all the new actors they are bringing in with the merge, I’m glad she won’t miss an episode. I like Ellen, but my new fave on that show is Lexi. Love her! Love her and McSteamy together! More, please!
don’t care
Way to go Ellen. God Bless you for all the work you do
lol
I love Meredith Grey Centric episodes. my ultimate favorite.
I stopped watching after the first season…
