    Eva Oravcova, in a normal work environment if you fire someone just because you don't like them, this may amount to unfair or constructive dismissal. In such a situation the employer (here Shonda) can be sued by the employee (here an actor). Of course, it is unprofessional even if you couldn't sue your employer. Employing someone is based on their skills and, in the case of television, on how fans perceive the actor and their character. Personal feelings should go out the door when it comes to work, especially if you are considering to fire someone.

    I think Shonda destroyed Katherine Heigl career and used her connections and sarcastic comments to make her look bad. Come to think of it if she made her statements now it wont be big of a deal. Rob Pattinson always makes fun his twilight days but was never bashed. Its such a shame cause Katherine is a great actress. And all the characters they killed written off are the great ones.

Everyone has always just had positive things to say about her. But back in the day Shonda was the Queen of television and what she said had a lot of power and it was a time when female actors were just supposed to shut up and smile. Even Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen have come out and said they have no bad feelings towars Katherine and that she does not need to apologize for anything.

    No matter what the issues are, the character of Derek should not have been terminated in the show. Probably better if Derek and Meredith were falling out of love and had to temporarily undergo a “cooling off” period, Derek to leave and disappear indefinitely leaving Meredith and the kids. Then eventually back into each other arms in later seasons/episodes. They are a perfect couple in the show.

    It wouldn’t have made sense for his character to leave his wife and children indefinitely, it would have ruined the legacy of his character. Honestly it made sense to kill his character off because he was married to the main character and their love story was so integral to the show. But killing George (who was about to leave for the army anyway), Heather, Lexie, Mark and Andrew (there are probably other I am forgetting) were unnecessary and could have been handled differently. The more you kill off characters, the less impact it actually has.

    Cierdh mcgregor I never understood her characters purpose until later. I thought at first she was just eye candy! She was mostly annoying bc she was dysfunctional & full of drama. Truthfully her character didn't show any real surgeon skills like the rest! She had great patient rapport and thats a WEAK ASS gift considering what the other characters had going for them Alex: pediatric Christina: cardio George: general surgery Meredith: general surgery and R&D. I hardly recall seeing her in an OR very much! she had no worthy surgeon storyline purpose except as a catalyst of conflict with Alex and George...and as the side kick bff. Her back story was as fleshed out as any 2nd string character could hope. Shonda addressed her teen pregnancy... Her mom showed up... She had her dramatic Denny love story...so what was left??? She was the resident Drama Queen!THAT was her purpose but that was too lowly for Miss Katherine "Hepburn"! Every character can't be a Rockstar but Izzy served a purpose . She couldn't handle not having a constant A+ storyline so she pouted, complained and made an enemy of the Exec Producer. She took a chance pissin in Shonda Cheerios and lost. She deserved to be kicked off the Island! Lol!

I'll admit that maybe the show wouldnt of been much better without Derek but I doubt it. Even then this death isn't the only tragic one in the show, some other deaths with huge impacts include George, Mark, Lexi and many more.
