“People’s ideas in general are antiquated when it comes to who you love. We haven’t moved as quickly as we probably should. … Who you choose to marry is really up to you and it’s not something you should be judged on.

That’s how many signatures a Change.org petition to bring back Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd has secured, so far, the New York Daily News reports. Devastated fans backing the movement are begging “Grey’s Anatomy” creator Shonda Rhimes to somehow resuscitate the beloved neurosurgeon she killed off last week from the long-running ABC drama: “You’ve destroyed us. COMPLETELY! Why Shonda, Why? Why would you do us like this? Dedicated and die-hard fans! We DO NOT deserve this!” the petition reads. Ladies, get it together. That’s not how TV contracts work.
