Brace yourselves, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ fans, because the new promo for the Season 12 midseason premiere is shocking and heartbreaking. Meredith is brutally attacked by a Grey Sloan patient and it’s one of the scariest moments in show history. See what happens, here!
Our hearts are beating out of our chests after seeing the new sneak peek of Grey’s Anatomy’s midseason premiere on Jan. 20! Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) gets violently attacked by a patient, and what follows is one shocker after another including a kiss, surgery, and a near-death experience! Check it out, here.

For the past few weeks, fans have watched Penny, who allegedly killed Derek, get bullied by Meredith, but on the Nov. 12 episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ she finally stood up for herself against her superior. Plus, Owen got extremely upset with Bailey for hiring someone he hates.
We had no idea Penny (Samantha Sloyan) had so much confidence! On the Nov. 12 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Penny proved she doesn’t take crap from anyone when she went head-to-head with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) after Callie (Sara Ramirez), herself, tried standing up for her.

Shonda Rhimes has a way of making feel all kinds of feelings. Some of our favorite characters on ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ‘Scandal’ and ‘Private Practice’ haven’t lived to see another day, and the creator of Shondaland reveals she’s killed off certain characters because she was mad at the actors! Who is she talking about?!
Shonda Rhimes has some explaining to do! During an appearance on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, the TGIT leader admits to killing off characters on her shows because she was upset with certain actors. We’ve lost a lot of characters on her shows — Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Private Practice — who is she referring to?!

Remind us never to attend a dinner party at Meredith Grey’s house. The Oct. 22 episode, in which Callie’s girlfriend revealed herself as the doctor who killed Derek, was so incredibly awkward. Plus, Jo paid the price for snitching on Stephanie and Maggie contracted a UTI after having hot sex with Andrew.
Well, that was extremely awkward. Once Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) discovered Callie’s (Sara Ramirez) dating Penny, the doctor who killed Derek (Patrick Dempsey), it was only a matter of time before her friends, including Amelia (Caterina Scorsone), realized it, too. And that bomb, which was dropped on the Oct. 22 episode of Grey’s Anatomy during Meredith’s dinner party, left us gasping for air.

Damn you, Shonda Rhimes — you get us every time! We’ve been dying for an Izzie Stevens comeback since she left ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ in 2010, so just the mere mention of her name on the Oct. 8 episode was a tease we almost couldn’t handle. And now, there’s a perfect reason for her to return.
While ABC wanted Grey’s Anatomy viewers to think Jo (Camilla Luddington) was pregnant before the Oct. 8 episode, we actually came to find out that Alex’s (Justin Chambers) new girlfriend discovered a shocking secret from his past relationship with Izzie (Katherine Heigl).

Martin Henderson, 40, will be the next great surgeon joining the Grey-Sloane Memorial staff on Grey’s Anatomy. Very little detail is available about the new doctor, so is it safe to assume that he is replacing Patrick Dempsey, 49, after his character, Derek Shepherd, was tragically and unexpectedly killed in season 11? Let’s review!

What a bizarre season finale for ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ Despite dying a few episodes ago, Derek made a startling return on May 14. Plus, Jo and Alex seem to be moving forward with their relationship, while Jackson and April might be calling it quits.
We don’t think we’ve ever seen a season finale of Grey’s Anatomy without a cliffhanger, but season 11 came to a calm close on May 14. There were no deaths, no runaway brides or major disasters, but we did get a surprise appearance by Patrick Dempsey! Is Derek really alive? Find out.

It might be a year after Derek was killed, but the pain still remains strong as ever — especially for his little sister, Amelia.
