Rhimes Killed Off Someone She Didn’t Like
In 2015, Rhimes set the record straight on Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore.” In the segment “Keep It 100,” Wilmore asked, “Have you ever killed off a character because you didn’t like the actor?” And Rhimes responded, “Yes, and I’m not naming names.” But some fans felt she was talking about Patrick Dempsey, whose character Dr. Shepherd was killed off rather suddenly. However, there was one off-screen incident that nearly derailed the series.
