Big Raises for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Docs


Ellen Pompeo of “Grey’s Anatomy” just got her prescription filled.

The dose? A new salary reportedly near $200,000 per episode, while her fellow cast members including SAG winner Chandra Wilson, James T. Pickens, Justin Chambers and T.R. Knight all reportedly received hikes of close to $125,000 per steamy, drama-filled episode.

As of Friday, there’s no McDreamy deal for Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh or Katherine Heigl.

What’s more, we’ve learned same goes for Kate Walsh, who is waiting to see if she’ll get a spin-off of her own.

But one “Grey’s” doctor is in a class by himself: Isaiah Washington.

“Extra’s” told his poor choice of words on the set and the Golden Globes could cost him; he may even have to report for his daily hospital rounds without a raise.

See how the drama unfolds every Thursday on ABC.


NEXT: Jessica and John Get Romantic in Rome

 

Wow, it’s amazing who gets forgiven and who gets the shaft. Isaiah, who still has a job, is worried about a raise;Mel Gibson was practically run out of phony-town, Michael Richards has to dole out $100,000, and he STILL can’t buy forgiveness (yeah, I’D pay!!) Kelis gets - well, nary a mention for her tirade. One day I’ll figure it out, although I have my theories…all BS to me.

Love the show. Happy with all the main cast, even Isaiah, and especially, Patrick Dempsey. So glad Ellen did not die. Probably would not have watched the show anymore. Just need to have more episodes and not so many reruns. Loooooooove the show!!!!

Ellen absolutely deserves this raise. She carries the show. It was proven by the 3-arc episode which has an unprecedented ratings of 27.4 million viewers mostly generated by tremendous interest in whether she would die or live and the love story between Meredith and Derek. The writer’s blog had close to 6,000 hits and comments mostly rooting for her to live. This number was also record-breaking.
