About Derek Shepard "Dr. McDreamy"

Derek Shepard

The top of his game in neuro- surgery, always cool-headed in a pinch, and an all-around-hotty to boot. He's our "McDreamy." Derek comes to us after leaving Manhattan for personal reasons-his best friend, Mark Sloan, slept with his wife, Addison. While eluding this situation he met Meredith Grey, "the girl from the bar." Meredith and Derek have had a rocky on-again-off-again relationship. Things started off good, then Addison appeared. Trying to do the right thing, Derek tried to make it work with Addison (his wife). It eventually fails and he and Meredith were on again. Things were good again, but Derek wanted to move to the next level while Meredith wasn't quite ready-Meredith was dealing with several tragedies of her own (including her mother's death and almost drowning). Derek was patient, for a while, and understood that she needed time, but can only wait so long. Meredith broke it off, but unable to keep their hands off each other, the couple decided to "just have sex" while broken up. Realizing this didn't really work either, the two decided to see other people. At first, Derek's dating was merely casual, then he meets a nurse. Though he's never really "seen" her before, Rose is an attractive, intelligent woman. Soon, Meredith realized that she really did want him and told him she's trying to be ready. When Derek asks her for more again, she is again unable to commit to more. Derek tells her he's already moved on. Derek and Rose continue to date, but he can't ignore the fact that he has to see Meredith every day. He and Meredith have even started a clinical trial together. She stumbled upon a possible way to shrink brain tumors with viruses and considering he's the best brain surgeon at Seattle Grace, she has no where else to turn to run her clinical trial. Derek finally slept with Rose, but admits to Mark Sloan that he thought about Meredith the whole time.
