The series "Anatomy of Passion" has been pleasing viewers for ten years, since 2005. He became a real cult and entered the hundred greatest television shows of all time. In addition, the project has repeatedly won television awards (including for the work of actors, directors, technical specifications).
Series concept
The main ideological inspirer of the television show - Shonda Rimes - conceived this project as a story about the life of strong women who are competitors in work and in love. But over time, the concept has changed somewhat.
From the first season, the viewer has been watching the life of interns at the Seattle Grace Hospital, including both women and men. Like medical workers in ordinary life, they are full of strength and hope, work tirelessly, become residents and real doctors, who, in turn, educate and train new interns.
In addition to work, there are other moments in their life that are quite dramatic. None of the heroes of the series did not escape the fate of experiencing some kind of grief. But since this show is about strong spirit, they steadily perceive all the trials. Perhaps that is why over the course of a decade, the TV audience’s favorite has not been any other series, namely, “Anatomy of Passion”.
The actors of this project grew and developed along with their characters, they also gained new experience and tried at all costs to fulfill their mission.
Main cast. Actresses
Still in the foreground in the television project are women. These are, first of all, the interns of Meredith Gray (performer - Ellen Pompeo), Christina Young (Sandra O), Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl).
Doctors were represented by Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson). In the second season, characters such as Kelly Torres (Sarah Ramirez), Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) were introduced into the permanent composition .
In the third season, Lexi Gray (Kyler Lee) joined the cast. The following season introduced the audience to heart surgeon Erica Khan (Brooke Smith), who had already appeared in several episodes earlier. In the fifth, she had already left the main team, but her place was taken by the children's surgeon Arizona Robins (Jessica Capshaw), who remains the main character so far.
In the sixth season of the series "Anatomy of Passion", the actors accepted Kim Raver, who played the role of heart surgeon Teddy Altman, into their team. In addition, there is a new intern April Capner (Sarah Drew), which will play a prominent role in the project.
Until the tenth season, the acting ensemble did not change, but then the status of the main characters became Joe Wilson (Camilla Luddington), Stephanie Edwards (Jerrick Hinton).
In the last seasons of the series Anatomy of Passion, the actors have also been updated. Katerina Scorsone became a permanent member with the role of Amalia Shepard, and Kelly McCreeery played Gray's half-sister, Margaret Piers.
Main cast. Actors
In the series "Anatomy of Passion", the actors and their roles have become a real recognizable brand. From the first season, the main characters have been interns Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), George O'Maley (TR Knight).
The doctors were represented by Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), Derek Shepard (Patrick Dempsey) and Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington).
In the second season of the Anatomy of Passion television show, actors greeted their colleague Eric Dane, a plastic surgeon and Shepard's best friend, Mark Sloan.
The fifth season increased the lineup for trauma surgeon Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd).
In the sixth season, after the merger of the two hospitals (“Mercy West” and “Seattle Grace”), newcomers in the composition were Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), Charles Percy (Robert Baker), Ben Warren (Jason George).
In the last season of the series "Anatomy of Passion", the actors and roles (some) received a new status. For example, the husband of Miranda Bailey Ben became a full-fledged hero, appearing in each episode. Also this high status was received by intern Shane Ross performed by Guy Charles.
The last newcomer was Dr. Luca (actor Martin Henderson).
Losses in the composition. Actresses
With the release of new episodes and seasons, the actors of the series "Anatomy of Passion" left him. This happened for various reasons.
The first of the actresses from the TV show left Brooke Smith, who played cardiac surgeon Ericu Khan. She was Kelly Torres' first homosexual experience. In fact, her character did not last a season. The producers motivated their decision to dismiss the actress by the fact that they could not create a sufficiently bright hero, so they and Kelly could not have a common future.
In 2010, Katherine Heigl left the project. Her heroine Izzy has experienced a lot: the loss of a loved one, the diagnosis of cancer and cure, gaining new feelings with her colleague Alex Karev. Heigl left of her own free will, saying that she wants to devote more time to her family.
In the eighth season, two characters left the scene at once. Teddy Altman after the death of her husband decided to return to work in the army. But with Lexi Gray, the producers acted really brutally. She died in a plane crash in front of her beloved Mark Sloan.
The real blow for the fans of the series was the departure of actress Sandra O. There was nothing tragic for her heroine Kristina Young, she began to head a cardiological research center in Switzerland.
Losses in the composition. Actors
Actors of the series "Anatomy of Passion" also left their workplace for ten years. The first to do this was Isaiah Washington, who played the role of a brilliant surgeon - Dr. Burke. The reason for his dismissal was an ethical conflict. He spoke sharply about the sexual orientation of his colleague T.R. Knight.
Two years later, Knight himself left the project, citing the fact that his hero has an underdeveloped storyline. George O'Maley died at the very end of the season, falling under a bus.
In 2012, following his beloved, Mark Sloan dies from his injuries. Eric Dane, who played this role for six years, was grateful to the producers for the opportunity to participate in such a grandiose project as "Anatomy of Passion."
Actors, whose photos began to appear on the covers of famous publications after filming in the series, received many opportunities for further self-realization. Including Robert Baker (his character was killed in a shootout) and Guy Charles.
In the eleventh season, Patrick Dempsey left the show for personal reasons. His hero, Derek Shepard, could not be reanimated after a serious car accident.
