"Grey’s Anatomy" producers killed off Dr. Derek Shepherd on the April 23 episode, but fans are quite unhappy.
One fan is so ticked off, she started an online petition on Change.org to get him back on the show!

So far, more than 80,000 people have signed the petition.

Courtney Williams, of Snellville, Georgia, started the petition and she writes:

"This is important because you cannot have people invest a DECADE into a character and then you just terminate them like that."

The petition is addressed to Shonda Rhimes who is the creator and executive producer of the show. The efforts are not likely to work because the actor who plays Shepherd says he is not coming back.

Patrick Dempsey talked to Entertainment weekly about his character's death. "I think any time an original cast member has left, there’s always a void that will never be filled," he said. "Shepherd is a beloved character. People don’t want to lose him. He’s been in their lives for over 10 years. But it goes on, and it will evolve."
