Fans are about to see the last days of Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) in Grey's Anatomy Season 19. The show has revealed the last time viewers will see Pompeo in the series as her character is about to leave for Boston.

It has been known that Pompeo will leave Grey's Anatomy Season 19 and will only appear in a number of episodes. However, she will continuously narrate the series and serve as its executive producer.

Pompeo's exit will align with Meredith's storyline. The doctor has accepted a job in Boston, working on Alzheimer's research.

Hence, she can return anytime to Grey Sloan, just like other original stars who have left and guest-starring in the series.

In the Grey's Anatomy Season 19 Part 2 episode, Meredith can be seen walking on the halls of Grey Sloan. Though it's her last day at the hospital, she can't hide her excitement for the new life that awaits her and her family in Boston.

"It's been a lot," she says. "A fire… moving."

Meredith Grey's Move to Boston

Earlier in the season, Meredith learned that the anxiety of her oldest daughter, Zola (Aniela Gumbs), stemmed from the fact that she's gifted.

Hence, she has searched for the best school and new environment to stimulate her child's mind better, resulting in their move to Boson.

Zola has even passed the Brookline STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Academy, while her former colleague, Jackson (Jesse Williams), offered Meredith a job in the country to cure Alzheimer's at the Catherine Fox Foundation.

This puts everything in place for Pompeo's Grey's Anatomy Season 19 exit.

Grey's Antomy's Success

Grey's Anatomy has remained a record-breaking show on ABC. It has already become a weekly staple, a big part of the network for the past two decades.

The show was renewed for its 19th season back in January.

"I couldn't be more excited that we get to keep telling the stories of Meredith, Bailey, Richard and all of the other doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial for another season," creator Shonda Rhimes said, via Comicbook.
