Greys Anatomys winter hiatus will finally come to an end on March 11. But before its return next week, Ellen Pompeo shared some insight about the rest of season 17 and the shows future and her comments are making some fans uneasy.

In December, the ABC medical drama last showed Ellen's character, Meredith Grey, being put on a ventilator after her condition worsened while battling COVID-19. Understandably, fans were devastated about the turn of the events. Ahead of the show coming back, Ellen told CBS Sunday Morning this week what she knows, and she kept her answers pretty vague.

"I can't say. Can't say," Ellen told the outlet. "We honestly have not decided. We're really trying to figure it out right now."

When asked if she was referring to the decision about ending the show or not, Ellen clarified: "Yes. It's, what story do we tell? To end a show this iconic, you know, how do we do it? I just want to make sure we do this character and this show and the fans I want to make sure we do it right."

She later added: We don't know. I'm in that we I mean, you know, we have choices."

Some fans who saw the interview on YouTube interpreted Ellens answers as hinting that the end of the show might be near. While its not hard to imagine Greys concluding somewhat soon after 16 years on air, a handful of viewers made it clear that they don't want an ending associated with the coronavirus pandemic.

I need the show to end on a positive note. that means not with a [COVID-19] storyline, one person wrote. This show has done it all and to end like that wouldnt be giving the show justice or the ending it deserves, another added. Grey's Anatomy cannot end yet! GREY'S ANATOMY CANNOT END! a different fan said. However, they end the show, it will still break my heart, someone else commented.

Recently, some fans had similar reactions when Patrick Dempsey, who plays Derek Shepherd, also kept the future of the show under wraps when talking to ET Canada. "It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months," the actor told the outlet in early February.

Thankfully, fans can take comfort in the fact that Chandra Wilson, a.k.a. Miranda Bailey, told Entertainment Tonight back in December that she didn't think the show would end with the current storyline.

"I know from a creative standpoint there have been many 'This is how the season would end' conversations and then they all end up [not happening] because of a myriad of reasons," she said.

One thing is certain: When Greys returns on March 11, it will be a crossover event with Station 19, as shown in the clip above. Hopefully, there will be time for a quick update on Merediths health before introducing even more heartbreaking drama to the season.
