I'm not surprised more of the regulars are leaving. I hope they don't lose too many, but if they do I hope they cancel instead of trying to make a show without its anchors.
I read a while ago that Lexi had originally been brought in as a replacement character, to be the new lead female in case Ellen Pompeo didn't renew her contract after season 8. Once they realized they wouldn't need Lexi in that role, they let her go. I don't feel like they have anyone right now who could carry the series if Meredith and Derek were to leave after season 10.
