Exiting 'Grey's Anatomy' Stars 'Speechless' as Fans Fly Banner Over Studio
"Grey's Anatomy" fans just showed their loyalty to Sarah Drew (April Kepner) and Jessica Capshaw (Arizona Robbins). Big time.
The actresses were recently revealed to be leaving the ABC show after Season 14 -- and not by their own choices. Fans were shocked to hear that their characters would be written out somehow, and about 40,000 fans have signed a Change.org petition to keep them on the show. (That might be tough now that Sarah Drew has the lead in a new TV pilot.)
To make their support crystal clear, fans raised more than $1,000 for a banner to fly over Prospect Studios in L.A., reading "We [heart] Sarah Drew & Jessica Capshaw."
Drew and Capshaw saw the banner and were "overwhelmed" with "pure joy" by the fan love:
It's a love-fest! Both Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew are still appearing on "Grey's Anatomy" Season 14, which continues airing Thursday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC. There are 24 episodes to the season, and we're up to Episode 16 on March 22. It's just sad to know that their storylines will be wrapped at some point in the next couple of months.
