With Eric Dane the latest cast member to depart, John Byrne looks back on previous Grey's Anatomy stars who - for one reason or another - are no longer part of the Seattle Grace furniture.

Although it hasn't seen as many cast changes as its medical mega-star predecessor ER, Grey's Anatomy lost yet another regular following last Friday's announcement that Eric Dane was quitting his role as Dr Mark 'McSteamy' Sloan ahead of the show's ninth season.

A lot of the departures have been clouded in controversy - here are the six key ones during the show's sensationally successful eight seasons:

Katherine Heigl (Izzie Stevens)

When she left After spending much of season six working elsewhere, things came to a head when Heigl reportedly failed to show up for Grey's Anatomy on March 11th, 2010. She had apparently come to an agreement with Shonda Rhimes to release her from her contract with immediate effect. Her character had left Seattle after surviving cancer.

Why she left Heigl said that her departure was not about advancing her film career - which was moving along very nicely at the time - but that she wanted to focus more on her family.

How she's doing In January 2012, Heigl stated in an interview that she has asked the producers of Grey's Anatomy if she could return to the show to wrap up Izzie's storyine: "I've told them I want to," she said. "I want to see that girl take some power back." In her personal life, she and husband, inger Josh Kelley, adopted a second child in April 2012.

Grey's Anatomy Ex Files

Beth Cavener Stichter was intrigued by the notion which is the basis of Hippocratic medicine: a person could be emotionally and psychologically evaluated by their level of fluids. According to ancient Greek Humorism, the traditional four temperaments: sanguine, melancholic, choleric, and phlegmatic were caused by imbalances in the four bodily fluids (humors): black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood.

Sanguine – Too much blood – Passionate, Bold, impulsive
Melancholic – Too much black bile – Depressed, anxious, moody
Choleric – Too much yellow bile – Irritable, hostile, bitter
Phlegmatic – Too much phlegm – Passive, introverted, rational

This intrigue led her to create ‘The Four Humors’, a work which was displayed at the Claire Oliver Gallery at Art Miami.

These anatomically infused illustrations were created by illustrator, Kimberly Sheridan who says she draws inspiration from art nouveau to tattoo design. Interesting tidbit—Kimberly did detail work on aluminum and aqua resin sculptures for artist Jeff Koons.

Prolific and quite popular illustrator and artist, Jeremy Fish, has a new exhibition on at FIFTY24SF Gallery in San Francisco, CA from July 14, 2012 through September 14, 2012.  It has some really nice poppy anatomical elements throughout.

Titled, Where Hearts Get Left, this exhibition shows a new body of work by Jeremy that represents his love for San Francisco.  The work is thematically tied into local references including food spots, tourist attractions, history, and more all tied together using his signature style and subjects such as skulls and anatomical hearts.

I’m somewhat digging these collages by Tyrone Dalby.  I couldn’t find much information on Tyrone, but you can view more of his collages on his Saatchi Online portfolio.

Emily Evans of AnatomyUK gives us an exclusive look at the Day of the Dead Skull wallpaper she recently designed.  This unique wallpaper was developed specially for Barrio Central and Barrio North, two wonderfully colorful Latin bars located in Soho and Islington in London.

Emily extensively researched the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition and sugar skull representations before designing the perfect skull for the wallpaper pattern.

This high quality wallpaper is meticulously screen printed by hand using metallic gold ink on peacock, charcoal, and raspberry. The gold ink makes the pattern shine brilliantly under a variety of lighting.  This wallpaper is stunning in person, so if you’re in the London area, stop by Barrio Central or Barrio North (in the toilets) and see it!

Designed by Emily Evans. Made in London, UK.
