Patrick Dempsey's departure from the ABC medical drama came as a major surprise to viewers last season, as his character Dr Derek Shepherd had been a mainstay.

The major cast shakeup initially led to questions about the future of Grey's Anatomy, but ABC president Paul Lee has since clarified that season 12 will not be the end for the long-running drama series.

Dempsey also insisted in May that his Grey's Anatomy departure does not mean that he is retiring from acting.
