Uncharted Television Facts: #1 Grey's Anatomy

 Grey's Anatomy
 
Facts: 
 
1. Isiah Washington and Rob Lowe were offered the role of Dr. Derek Shepherd.  
 
2. When Patrick Dempsey auditioned for Dr. Derek Shepherd, the whole time he thought that Shonda Rhimes is scary and she hated him. But Rhimes says that the whole time all she could think was how dreamy he looked. 
 
3. The name ‘McDreamy’ was first given to Dempsey, which stuck and was later given to Shepherd.

    4. Shonda Rhimes wanted to create a diversity in her cast and she decided to turn colour-blind when she auditioned them for different roles. 

    5. The only character that was described was the character of Dr. Miranda Bailey, as a ‘short curly blonde’ but when Chandra Wilson auditioned for that role she was perfect for the role. 

    6. Chandra Wilson had the most hairstyle changes. 

    7. Sandra Oh auditioned for Dr. Bailey but she fell in love with the character of Christina Yang and asked to audition for it. 

    8. George O’Malley has seen Meredith Grey, Christina Yang and Izzie Stevens naked. 

    9. The show was going to be set in Chicago but Rhimes thought it would then seem like ER and decided on Seattle. Chicago Grace doesn't sound as good as Seattle Grace anyways.

    10. The idea of Christina having a mental breakdown after losing the baby was Sandra Oh's idea.

Fan Theories
  • One fan thinks Meredith has Alzheimer's disease and other characters are emotions, like Inside Out. When a character leaves, the emotion goes with it. Derek is love, Arizona is happiness, Sloan is lust, Izzie is compassion, and so on.  
  • Lexie Grey never existed!  :-The timelines for the supposed relationship between Susan and Thatcher that resulted in Lexie gets screwed up multiple times. She is supposedly born in 1984 and is a surgical intern in 2006. This would make her 22, which is way too young. This has led to a theory that she is just a figment of our imagination.
  • The entire show is Zola reading Meredith’s Diary :- One fan has come up with a slightly plausible theory of the show's ending — sadly, it doesn't have a good ending for Meredith. "What if Grey’s Anatomy ends with a diary being closed by a black girl’s hand," a fan wrote on Tumblr. "And the camera goes up to reveal a grown up Zola (who’s wearing intern scrubs), and it turns out Meredith developed and died of Alzheimer’s and wrote diaries like her mother did, and now Zola is carrying on the Grey legacy by becoming an aspiring surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital?
