Grey’s Anatomy is now in its 14^th season, with Pompeo confirming in January that she has signed to continue in her role as Dr Grey for a 15^th and 16^th season.

Series showrunner Shonda Rhimes has previously told media that Grey’s Anatomy will air for as long as Pompeo wants it to.

Given that she now earns approximately $US575,000 per episode, that might be quite a while...
