Actress Ellen Pompeo confirmed that her character Meredith will stay in town and will remain in GSMH.

In an interview for E! News, Ellen was asked what is in store for the next season of "Grey's Anatomy".

"We are doing a lot of flashback stuff. Very challenging....A lot of people say how can you stay on a show 11 years. After 11 seasons you have to stay so alive and present. You can't disappoint the audience. You have to bring it," she added.
