Quotes

Ellen: Yeah for now I'm fine kissing Patrick Dempsey. I don't care where it goes.
Patrick: I hope we can continue to sleep together. I would like to see that develop.
Interviewer: Yeah she said she wouldn't mind kissing you continuously.
Patrick: Yeah that's great. That's good. I don't mind kissing her either.
~ Etalk Daily

When instructed to keep his hands off that skeezy tramp who showed up in the finale to mess with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), P. Dempsey just laughed. "I know, I love [Ellen]. We hadn't met before the show, but oddly enough we're neighbors. And we met each other at the dog park. She has a wonderful quality and a great laugh. You look at her eyes, and there's a lot of depth there and a lot of humanity. So, I'll do my best!"
~ Eonline – May 27, 2005

Patrick told me: "You will find clarity, very soon" with the love triangle between Ellen Pompeo's character Meredith, Addison and himself. When asked if there's any hope for him and Meredith, he says, "I hope so! I love Ellen Pompeo."
~ Eonline - August 5, 2005

On casting the leads, Ellen Pompeo [Dr. Meredith Grey] and Patrick Dempsey [Dr. Derek Shepard, a.k.a. Dr. McDreamy]: "I kept saying we need a girl like that girl from 'Moonlight Mile,' and after a while, they were like, 'We think we can get that girl from 'Moonlight Mile.' I spent time with her and got to know her, and then we started casting for the men.
"We brought in a lot of guys [for Shepard]. Ellen wasn't an easy role to cast, but Derek was really not an easy role to cast either. You had to believe he was intelligent, so you can believe he's a brain surgeon. And while you're watching, you'd be like, 'I wish my boyfriend looked like that.' [laughs] But he had to be rugged, not pretty. Handsome, sexy, but not in an obvious way, sexy in a smart way.
"He had to be able to pull off being really witty and you had to believe he'd care about people too. This was not easy to find! Patrick came in and he was just perfect. It was one of those moments when you're like, 'This is why I'm a writer.' There was just great chemistry, they were fun and flirty and it was just right."
~ Shonda Rhimes - Chicago Tribune - September 30, 2005

Are you 2 friend now?
Patrick Dempsey: Yeah, she's from Boston, and when I heard her accent , I was like "I love you"! You're New EnglandGirl". I really like working with her. We have great chemistry, and I think it's why the show is the way it is...... because we get along.

When asked how the cast resembled its characters, Pompeo grinned and pointed at Dempsey.
"I haven't publicly said this before, but I do have a crush on him," Pompeo said.
"Well, I have a crush on you, too," Dempsey, who is married to Jillian Fink, shot back, to sighs and whoops from the audience.
~ Paley Festival – February 28, 2006

“Patrick [Dempsey] is the same as me, in that if we don’t go to the gym, we feel weak.”
~ Self - March 2006

“He’s not trying too hard,” explains Pompeo, who plays the title character, Meredith Grey. “He’s sexier because he’s not chasing anything anymore. It’s a law of physics—when you run after something, it runs away from you.”
~ Details - March 2006

“I'm really partial to the [Derek-Meredith] love scene, which was beautiful. [Director] Mark Tinker shot a beautiful love scene. And Patrick and Ellen both had a lot of fun and threw themselves into it. And also because of what it meant for Meredith and Derek.”
~ Shonda Rhimes - TV Guide - May 2006

"Patrick is very charming and funny. He's a one-stop source of one-liners. Ellen was trying to concentrate so hard on getting the right shot, and he kept cracking her up. There was such great energy the whole day."
"Our customer is very invested in TV, what's going on, who's hot. Nothing's hotter than Grey's Anatomy, and that's why Ellen and Patrick were such a perfect fit. All of America is waiting for them to get together and we guessed that the season would end the way it did," the exec said.
~ NY&CO exec. - June 2006

Ellen mentioned that there was chemistry between the pair of you that was immediately apparent?
Patrick Dempsey: “She has a really great laugh that sort of grabs you right away, and we are very comfortable together and it just worked out. She is extremely endearing.”
~ 7days.ae - June 5, 2006

Ellen Pompeo: "I auditioned with many male actors and Patrick was the one with whom I had the most chemistry," Pompeo says in her characteristically staccato yet measured tone.
"He was my first choice but the network had the ultimate decision. I'm very lucky to have him as my co-star as we get on well. He makes it very easy."
~ News.com.au - July 25, 2006

Regardless, Ellen has far more important things on her mind, like, what was it? Oh yeah, making out with cute boys. And though she won't say whether she thinks McDreamy or McVet is a better match for Meredith, Ellen will say this about her costars in real life: "Chris O'Donnell is adorable, but he isn't really my type. He's a little clean-cut for me. He's not dangerous enough--no tattoos. Whereas Patrick's more grumpy, so he has more of an edge. You know, in real life, he's grumpier and has more to say. But Chris is just so nice all the time! I don't know. Honestly, they're both just too hot."
~ Eonline - August 4, 2006

"I really enjoy working with Ellen. She has a good energy, photographs well and we have great chemistry. I am glad I [decided to do the ad]," Patrick tells ET.
~ ETOnline - August 8, 2006

"I honestly wasn't that aware of Patrick during the '80s," she admits. "The very first time I met him, I was absolutely sure that he was my guy. Reading the lines of Derek Shepherd, Patrick had a vulnerable charm that I just fell for. And he had amazing chemistry with Ellen Pompeo," who plays Meredith Grey, a surgical intern who is currently embroiled in a love triangle with the handsome doc.
Shonda Rhimes - USA Weekend - April 30, 2006

"Dr. McDreamy, that's what I call Patrick's character," says "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo, about her blue-eyed TV boss/boyfriend, Dr. Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey. "He's gorgeous, he's got a great body, and he's got damn fine hair."
Business Wire - June 30, 2005

Patrick Dempsey: "Her eyes are alive - they pull you in. She's thruthful, emotional, intelligent, and real. She doesn't overanalyze things, but if she has something to say, you listen cause she's probably right. All these guys I know are completely in love with her. And woman want to be her friend."
Life Magazine, 2005

Nowadays when people approach her on the street, she said, "Everybody wants to know what it's like to kiss Patrick Dempsey."
Naturally we had to ask. "You know, it's absolutely terrible, and I'm sick of it," she said with a playful grin. "And I'm sure his wife is sick of hearing me explain it."
seattlepi.com - September 20, 2005

"It's freezing in the shower and not as glamorous as it looks" Ellen allows. "Patrick is adorable but very married in real life and I'm good friends with his wife, so it's tough predicament".
TV Guide - November 7-13, 2005 issue

"You'd think they were a couple" says photographer Rodelio Astudillo who was snapping away behind the scenes at Brian Bowen Smith's photoshoot."Their spouses have to be really understanding. In fact Patrick and Ellen were joking about it!"
TV Guide - January 2006

PD in an inteview last year describe Ellen's eyes "as having this kind of LIGHT behind them."
Regis and Kelly 05/17/05

"It's awkwards with Patrick because he's like my brother," Pompeo says. "As soon as the camera is off, I'm like, 'Is your hand on my butt?' But there are millions of girls who have been waiting for this, so I feel an obligaton to the fans."
Entertainment Weekly, September 8 2006

Meredith Grey and Dr. Shepherd...
"They're played by Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey, both attractive in a weathered way that goes well with Seattle damp. They have more chemistry riding up in a elevator in their scrubs and lab coats than most people naked together in bed."
People Magazine - December 12, 2005

'Can you get any better then Patrick Dempsey? I don't think so!'
~ Ellen Pompeo (Season 2 DVD Release Party)
Hollywood.com - September 5, 2006

The chemistry between Meredith and Derek is very realistic...
Patrick: "Ellen (Pompeo) has a depth behind her eyes that's just incredible. She says one thing, but she's thinking something else, which is intriguing. She's really beautiful and has a great laugh that's infectious, and all those things came together and made me feel really relaxed. I think that's why we have the chemistry."
~ TV Week 2006

"He's a really, really great husband and father. I think how much he loves his wife and daughter is really just -- the girls would just melt if they knew." ~ Ellen Pompeo

I think it's really sweet that Chris proposed to Ellen on her birthday? An extra special day!

I bet he asked her because he saw the hot promo the night before

Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo Is Engaged
MONDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2006 12:40PM EST

By Stephen M. Silverman with Lizz Leonard

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home. "She was surprised and thrilled," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. Ivery presented Pompeo with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori.

Pompeo and Ivery, 37, both Boston-area natives, grew up minutes away from each other, but didn't meet until pals introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003. They didn't start dating right away. "We were friends for six months; then one night she just looked different to me," Ivery told PEOPLE in October.

Their relationship is laid-back. "We had a great day yesterday," Pompeo told PEOPLE. "We walked on the beach, then we came home, took a shower and went out for sushi. Then we laid on the couch with the dogs and watched TV."

Pompeo added, "We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be. We'll get married eventually, secretly."

According to Pompeo's rep, no wedding date has been set.

mcdreamylover · 11-13-2006, 12:27 PM

If they want to get married without any paparazzi finding out they should have done it this weekend when all of them will be at Tom and Katie's wedding.

**shinystar** · 11-13-2006, 12:29 PM

So the date won't be revealed I guess, since she's been pointing out to do it secretly? It's sweet though

Is Oprah live btw? If so, then Oprah can ask Ellen about it..

ETA:

That would be wise Steph

Maybe in Italy?

Ellen Pompeo, Chris Ivery Engaged! - Grey’s Anatomy Insider

I'm curious about Patrick reaction

I'm sure, GA cast and crew are happy for her

**shinystar** · 11-13-2006, 01:03 PM

I'm curious about Patrick's reaction as well, and what will be his first reaction when a reporter will ask him about it.

Gio Gio · 11-13-2006, 01:42 PM

An hilarious comment

Patrick is a funny man. I'm sure, he's glad for her

I like this Ellen's quote:

Quote:

"I'm really lucky that I met Christopher before this show," she said. "I think that because [of] my schedule I wouldn't have had time to meet anyone . . . When do I get to go out or do anything? So he usually comes here when he is not working. I was lucky."

Sometimes but I don't know if the live thing would work since NYC is 3 hours ahead of LA and NYC and there's going to be 3 viewing parties (NYC, Chicago, Seattle) So I'm thinking no in this case.

thegreenlight · 11-13-2006, 02:39 PM

Thanks for the new thread, Steph.

And, Karen, I don't think Oprah is ever live.

Oh, and that's cool Ellen is engaged.

**tonka17** · 11-13-2006, 03:20 PM

Im so so hapy for her she's so lucky!
