Exactly! I really think there might be something with his Dad dying so young but they never dig deeper into Derek's character for us to know unfortunately.

I'd love for him and Mer to start talking about parent's and they both discover they "lost" their Dads at such a tender young age. Like Mer's Dad left and they moved to Boston when she was 5 and Derek's Dad died when he was 7 or something like that. So, they have that in common possibly?

Also, since we know now that Ellis cut her wrists in front of Mer we could find out Derek's Dad had a brain seizure and died in front of him so he knows the trauma of seeing a parent in pain or something like that.

It could totally bond them and further deepen the connection they already have!

I'm not sure if the show would get as dramatic that his dad because Derek thought he wasn't capable enough or because he died in front him.. It could prove an interesting contrast between mer/Der.. that's for sure

that's why we really need to know how the show is going to proceed... Wake me up when September begins!!!

I wish we see Derek family and know about his father death like him telling Meredith about it would be good.

You really don't think a show that actually had Meredith "die" and go off into surgical heaven would touch upon Derek's Dad dying in front of him? LOL!

I think it could be a huge bonding thing for MD to learn they have something like that in common with a parent.

but his father dieing while him watching No I do not want him to be that much damaged Cristina had her father died while watching him that is enough.

Ah yes, it would be damaging BUT it could be something that he could talk about with Christina to get them closer seeing as how she hates him and all.

Besides, if his father died of some kind of brain aneurysm it would have happened fairly quickly. I think they usually do.

Just something to think about and since I am that's pretty much an indication that it won't happen.

Most of the character have dadies issues LOL

Well I'm guessing the show is not wanting to take those routes again, so I'm still going for yes

Good point

And we can't forget George watching his father die before him.

**WalaBridget** · 06-28-2008, 02:16 PM

enough with people watching their parent dieing while watching in my opinion.

StuffofLegendsMD80 · 06-28-2008, 11:20 PM

Okay, okay so let's say maybe Derek's Dad didn't die right before his eyes but he did notice him groaning so he told his mom about it, they took him to the hospital, and then he died hours later.

That's what made him want to be a brain surgeon to try and help people so they don't go through what his Dad did?

Maybe he didn't see him die but his last memory was of him like that? Who knows I'm just throwing ideas out there.

lol knowing Shonda she would damage Derek maybe Derek killed himself with Shonda writing the show

I don't think they'd do the Derek's Dad killed himself route. Not with them saying now that Ellis slit her wrists.

They do so need to have Derek open up more to Mer about his family. I look forward to hopefully knowing more about him in S5 as he and Mere TALK about stuff like this.
