If you have not seen "Grey's Anatomy" Season 11, Episode 21, "How to Save a Life," DO NOT continue reading.
In the episode, which aired on the 23rd of April, one of the show's leads, Dr. Derek Shepherd was killed off.
Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey, died after being involved in an auto accident.
Hundreds of fans took to Twitter to lament, crying and querying show creator Shonda Rhimes on the decision.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dempsey spoke about the decision and how it would affect the fans.
He said:
I think it will be very shocking, the way it happens. It's really going to be powerful. But life is like that. I think any time an original cast member has left, there's always a void that will never be filled. Shepherd is a beloved character. People don't want to lose him. He's been in their lives for over 10 years. But it goes on, and it will evolve.
