Season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy is shaping up to be the season of heart-wrenching goodbyes. The first departure came from Ellen Pompeo, who starred as the headstrong, orbital character Meredith Grey for over two decades. Now, another core character is preparing for their departure from the Shondaland series as well. Per a report from Deadline, Kelly McCreary is leaving Grey’s Anatomy after nine seasons of portraying cardiothoracic genius and Meredith’s half-sister, Dr. Maggie Pierce.
