Dr. Meredith Grey is one of my favorite characters in the show. Ellen Pompeo really does portrays her character very well. Ellen is a great actress. She's got chemistry with Patrick (who plays her on screen love in the show). Her character is like the lead role in the show. I guess she really is because after all it was named after her (rather her family name). Dr. Meredith Grey's best description of herself is Dark and twisty but with her McDreamy, a Bright and Shiny lady is often "released."
