Grey’s Anatomy fans petition to get Sarah Drew, Jessica Capshaw back
Ever since the news of the two actors’ departure from the series earlier this week, a change.org petition has received almost 25,000 signatures at the time of this writing asking ABC to find a way in which to bring the two parties back. While this decision feels fairly set in stone at the moment, you never know. We have certainly seen networks/producers change their minds before and it absolutely could happen again. We also know that it was not either Drew or Capshaw’s decision to depart.
In looking beyond just the petition itself, though, there are a few fairly-clear reasons why there is some discord out there on the subject of some of these departures. For starters, it was the timing of the announcement — it’s hard to see ABC put out various tweets celebrating International Women’s Day while also announcing the departure of two of the most-prominent female characters from their longest-running show.
Also, it’s a matter of circumstance. Arizona Robbins may be rather happy with her life at the moment (at least in a relative sense), but April Kepner is in the midst of a downward spiral that is including heavy drinking, irritable behavior, one-night stands, and a crisis of her faith. This is not the April we’ve come to know and love over time. It’s a meaty storyline for Drew but it would have been so much more promising if viewers knew that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Now, there are only so many more episodes to go and now verification that the story will end in a happy manner.
