Less than a year and a half after Meredith Grey's big sendoff (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/greys-anatomy-ellen-pompeo-meredith-grey-exit-1235332898/), Pompeo “may return to appearing in a number of episodes traditionally associated with being a series regular," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "Pompeo is set to be in at least seven of the Season 21’s 18 episodes, sources tell Deadline. That number is likely to grow and could reach as many as 14 episodes, I hear. If the episode count gets into the double-digits, that won’t be far off from the work load of the other veteran Grey’s Anatomy series regulars who, as Deadline reported exclusively, are taking an episode reduction as a cost-cutting measure and will each skip a couple of episodes next season." As Andreeva notes, "after her Season 19 'exit' episode, Pompeo returned for the finale that season. In Season 20, she ended up appearing in half of the 10 episodes, including having a major presence in the season premiere and finale. That is in addition to her remaining an executive producer and doing the voiceover that frames every episode — something that will continue next season."
