Grey's Anatomy Stars Discuss Meredith Grey as a 'Pick Me Girl'

Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl, stars of Grey's Anatomy, recently sat down for an Actors on Actors interview where they discussed the surprising reception of Meredith Grey, Pompeo's character. Heigl revealed that her daughter and her friends identified Meredith as a "pick me girl," a term describing women who seek validation from men. Pompeo admitted that she initially felt uncomfortable with some of Meredith's actions, particularly her tendency to prioritize romantic relationships over other aspects of her life. Interestingly, despite Pompeo's reservations, these scenes became some of the show's most memorable and successful. The interview offers a fascinating look at how fictional characters can resonate with real-world audiences, and how even actors can be surprised by the interpretations of their work. The conversation sparks a discussion about the complexities of female characters in media and the evolving understanding of gender dynamics.
