Shonda Rhimes: Grey’s Anatomy won’t continue without Ellen Pompeo

E! Online

"Ellen and I have a pact that I'm going to do the show as long as she's going to do the show," Rhimes tells E!. "So the show will exist as long as both of us want to do it. If she wants to stop, we're stopping. So I don't know if we'll see 600, but I want to keep it feeling fresh. As long as there are fresh stories to tell and as long as we're both excited about the stories being told, we're in. So, we'll see where that takes us."
