ABC's take on the new "Grey's Anatomy" season 14
President of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey, on the hand, expressed his confidence in showrunner Shonda Rhimes through "interweaving" the story of the firefighters against their personal struggles. His statement came alongside the announcement of the all new "Grey's Anatomy" season 14 show. Rhimes, who is the executive producer of the show had her share of cast wanting to leave the show.
At the end of season 13, Jerrika Hinton who plays Stephanie Edwards requested to leave the show, citing the need to explore other opportunities as the reason for leaving. Rhimes accommodated the request saying that she supported the actress' decision and wished her luck on her new projects. In season 12, Sara Ramirez, who plays Callie Torres also opted out on the new season after the current one concluded.
Rhimes said she loved Ramirez and wished her good things when she left.
