The photo was posted on July 30, but taken down by Dempsey at the request of NBC. In the photo, Dane is shown in a hospital bed unconscious. ABC announced in July that the actor who plays Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan in the popular drama would be leaving the next season.
The picture released by Dempsey shows that Dane’s character survive’s a plane crash, which was seen in the season finale in May.
“When we start the season, we are ahead enough in time where we see the outcome of lots of things. And in the second episode of the season, there’s rewind – we go backwards – to where they’re still in the forest. So you see what happened and in the next episode, you see how we get there,” said Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes.
Dane recently revealed that he’s waving goodbye to Grey’s Anatomy.
“I am extremely grateful to everyone at Grey’s, ABC and Sondaland for the experience and memories I have had over the course of this run,” he said.
“It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes.”
Shonda also praised his talent, and wished him the best for his future.
“We’re a big family here at Grey’s with a long history together and Eric will always remain an important part of our family,” she said.
“I wish him the best and I look forward to watching him as he continues to steam up the big and small screen.”
