"Ellen Pompeo Reprises Meredith Grey Role in 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 20 Teaser"
Ellen Pompeo is set to return to "Grey's Anatomy" as Meredith Grey in season 20, but not as a series regular. The season preview teases challenges for the characters, including Richard Webber's sobriety and Teddy Altman's health crisis. The upcoming season will be shorter, with only 10 episodes due to a Hollywood strike, but is promised to be intense and compelling. Pompeo had previously left the show to seek new experiences after playing the role since the show's inception in 2005. "Grey's Anatomy" season 20 is scheduled to premiere on March 14 on ABC.
