By now you all know that our beloved and yummy Dr Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd has been brutally killed in Grey’s Anatomy. Why brutally, because you just can’t kill McDreamy off. Trust us, this emotion is shared by women across the world. And all we are asking is, “Why Shonda, Why?”
A fan named Courtney Williams was so traumatised by this that she even initiated a petition – Bring Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd BACK!!! - on Change.org against Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes, ABC and actor Patrick Dempsey.
You do not have someone survive a mass murderer, a plane crash, A FREAKING PLANE CRASH, AND A crushed hand, as a neurosurgeon...just to kill them off on a BEAUTIFUL DAY!! Seriously? SERIOUSLY SHONDA?! SERIOUSLY MS. RHIMES!?!?!?!?!
–Courtney Williams wrote in the petition
Till Wednesday evening, the petition had over 85,000 signatures. Many signatories shared the same sentiments.
