Meredith Gray, the protagonist of the television series Anatomy of Passion, is one of the five central characters, along with Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), George O'Maley (Theodore Knight), Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and Christina Young (Sandra Meiju). Some minor characters changed during the filming, but the main roles remained the same.
Fateful invitation
The role of the heroine Meredith Gray was played by actress Pompeo Ellen, for whom participation in the creation of the series was a gift of fate, since earlier, before receiving the star role, she starred in relatively successful, but not popular films like "Catch Me If You Can", "Daredevil" , "Moonlight Mile," "Old Quenching."
"Anatomy of Passion" has become the largest project on the ABC channel. The premiere took place in the spring of 2005. Today is showing the twelfth season, and on March 3, 2016 the series was extended, and filming of the thirteenth season will begin soon.
Content
The plot focuses on the activities of doctors, interns, and the rest of the staff at Seattle Grace Hospital, in which the main events unfold.
The series is focused on the professional as well as the private life of the doctors of the Department of General Surgery. The head physician is Webber Richard, who was previously intimate with his mother, Meredith Gray, Ellis.
Under Webber, there are two doctors, Preston Burke and Derek Shepard, who specialize in cardiac and neurosurgery. Meredith Gray has an affair with Shepard, and Preston Burke has an affair with Christina Young. These relations in no way affect the professional activities of the participants, especially since Kristina is Meredith Gray's best friend, therefore, women have a rule of mutual support and a “sense of elbow” is developed.
Plot development
Initially, Meredith became a simple surgeon, an intern, and then received the position of resident at Seattle Grace Hospital. In part, she took over the responsibilities of her mother, Ellis Gray, a world-famous surgeon who until recently was a medical luminary, but fell ill with Alzheimer's syndrome and can no longer work.
The series shows medical research, in the course of the plot genuine shooting of surgical operations is shown, which is rare on television and in the movies. And such an example was the serial film "Anatomy of Passion." Meredith Gray as the main character participates in all the complex medical and anatomical scenes in which her colleagues help her, most often these are Christina Young and Derek Shepard. In most cases, the surgical intervention ends successfully and by the way the numerous participants of the operation reliably look at each other, who meets someone with a look, one can judge the close relations of a particular pair.
It's no secret to anyone that Meredith Gray and Derek Shepard are in close relations, a couple have long been discussed in secret. Communication, apparently, is strong. Young people spent the night together that evening, when they met, and they say that such hasty contacts are a guarantee for lasting and lasting love and friendship.
TV show popularity
Due to the high public demand, a spin-off called "Private Practitioners" was launched. In the center of events is Addison Montgomery (in his role as Kate Walsh). The show took place in September 2007. Four albums with soundtracks and a video game on the theme of the series were simultaneously released. Also in DVD format all seasons were replicated.
Meredith Gray and her children
Huge commercial success was achieved thanks to the coordinated work of the entire group, and last but not least, the main character Meredith Gray, whose children appeared at the end of the fifth season, after she and Derek registered a marriage. Ellis's own daughter, named after her mother, a son named Bailey, and Zola's adopted girl.
At the end of the third season, Meredith 's half-sister , Lexi Gray, who also studies as a surgeon, appears. At the end of the eighth season, the girl dies in a car accident.
In the tenth season, a new surgeon appears in the hospital, Margaret Pearce, who turned out to be the daughter of the unmarried mother of Meredith Ellis and Richard Webber, head of the surgical department in the past. Thus, the main character appeared another half-sister.
Continuation
In the second season, several new characters appear on an ongoing basis. These are orthopedic surgeon Torres Kelly (as Sarah Ramirez), pediatric surgeon Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), obstetrician-gynecologist and plastic surgeon Mark Sloan from New York (the role was played by Eric Dane).
In the penultimate series of the third season, Lexi Gray, the sister of the main character, appeared. She decided to do an internship at Seattle Grace, in memory of her departed mother. The final of the third season was marked by the departure of Dr. Burke, who was already at the altar with Christina Young. He leaves the bride and, having loaded all the things from their common apartment into the truck, leaves for an unknown direction.
The series was a record for the number of views, the finale of the first season was seen by twenty two and a half million viewers. The second and third season watched an average of nineteen million. In the fourth season, the rating declined, but the series was already recognized as one of the best dramatic productions on television.

He was noted by many awards and the main character - Meredith Gray ("Anatomy of Passion"). Actress Ellen Pompeo, who embodied the image of the main character, did more than she could. Thanks to her game, the entire series was built season by season.
The actress’s awards begin with the US Screen Actors Guild Award, then Pompeo was awarded the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Drama. In the same nomination, she received the "People's Choice" award, which is the most prestigious recognition of the merits of an actor in art from the audience.
