Derek Shepherd is my favori male character on Grey's Anatomy because Patrick is my favori actor not to mention that he is hot and sexy. I l’amour Grey's Anatomy mainly because of Derek played par Patrick Dempsey and Meredith played par Ellen Pompeo. Even when Derek is played par Patrick as a jealous jerk, I still l’amour him. Derek has amazing chemistry with Meredith played par Ellen Pompeo. If and when Patrick does leave the show, Derek will always be my favori male character. Derek has been so great over the past seven seasons because Patrick Dempsey has does an amazing job. I cried when he got shot and Patrick played that scene well. I think it's one of my favori scenes that Patrick has done as Derek over the years. Derek Shepherd is and will always be my favori male character on Grey's Anatomy just like Patrick Dempsey is and will always be my favori actor on Grey's Anatomy.
