The fans of the "Anatomy of Passion" issued a difficult weekend. One of their main favorites Justin Chembers, who played Alex Karev, not only announced that he would leave the series, but admitted that the last episode with his participation was already on the air. As a result, Ellen Pompeo remained the only participant of the original composition of the show, which could not be silent and commented on the decision of the long-standing colleague on the set.
The Vanity Fair edition published a post in Twitter, which states that the "anatomy of passion" "is about to survive one of the biggest losses," and the actress responded to the answer that "more truthful words was never uttered", adding the text of Emodi in the form of a broken heart.

Previously, Chembers in an interview with Deadline shared that "there is no appropriate time to say goodbye to the show and the character, which determined most of his life for the past 15 years." The actor also noted that for some time he thought about diversifying his roles and make a kind of turn in his career, and on the eve of the 50th anniversary, he decided on this step.
The last episode of the "Anatomy of Passion" with the participation of Chembers was shown on November 14, and a week later in the series mentioned that Alex returned home to take care of his mother. True, it is still incomprehensible how the continued lack of character will be explained.
