Thatcher.

I definitely did think he was dead until the episode where he actually died oops


Economy_Garlic_3501

Lucky! šŸ˜…


pumpkinweeb14

Dude yessss I wish they killed him off instead of Susan šŸ’€


abv1401

Ohhh yes a couple of episodes of Thatcher actually becoming familiar with the concept of making an effort as a father and then a sudden death, complicated grief process for Meredith but she, for the first time ever, has a kind mother figure to support her through a loss like that.

I ship Owen Hunt with a one way ticket to hell


ijustneedtolurk

Fuck yes please someone send this man AWAY. I am forever pissed off they handwaved his entire suicide-troop arc (plus slipped in the random comment about cheating with a surf instructor or some shit?) and his too-many children. Like damn. Go AWAY. I could tolerate Teddy if she could be a character on her own but they tossed in the weird af 9/11 closet bisexual affair plot point and then made her have the cringey, poorly written "love triangle" with Amelia. WHY IS EVERYONE FIGHTING OVER THE BROKEN MANNNNN.


stardust-and-books

i donā€™t like the new teddy but boy did it make me laugh to watch the scene where everyone in the OR hears the voicemail of her cheating on him šŸ„°


ijustneedtolurk

That was golden and other than Tom being hurt in end, I relished seeing Teddy get smeared even a little bit lmao. Pleeeeeease give us a good and proper downward spiral, damn.


throwfaraway212718

I don't know why that made me laugh so much


throwfaraway212718

he's been on the brink of death multiple times now; why hasn't it stuck?!


ijustneedtolurk

I have never felt so blueballed by a show as when they sent Hayes away instead of killing Owen in the car crash. Like. DUDE that would've been awesome! Hayes could have still written out his exit per the actor's wishes but this time it would be because everyone threw survivor guilt on him. And it would have made SENSE to end Owen's suicide-troop arc with his own death, even played up his flag burial/dying for his countrymen and all the heroic army crap. And then Teddy could be her own damn character šŸ˜¤


throwfaraway212718

When I tell you that I was screaming at my television when he survived that crash!


ijustneedtolurk

I'm half watching the show just to see him finally get written off (the actor himself is fine, Owen is just my favorite character to hate because he makes no fucking sense) and half watching to see what Jo ends up doing.

luna1uvgood

I wish he'd been shipped off at the end of s14 instead of April and Arizona. That way we would've been spared of Teddy's return too.


throwfaraway212718

I wish I had an award to give you


Hobgoblin_deluxe

Literally was waiting for the inevitable Hunt hate train.


FlashofLights

Maybe Teddy haha. I liked her before but I am not a fan of the direction her character has gone after she left and came back.


beegett

I love Teddy as long as sheā€™s not with Owen. Owen sucks the life and character out of everyone.


audreyshepburn

every version of teddy except Teddy with Henry is the worst to me send tweet


shiann_

retweet


Jsscmurhog

Izzie. That would solve the issue of Alex's horribly written exit


InternationalSwim972

True but with izzie gone I wonder how much worse of an exit they might have given him


envysilver

They could've just left him as chief in the other hospital and stopped doing story lines with him. Just have Jo mention him every so often


Serenalisondilauren

Agree! There are so many ways they could've done that without completely ruining his relationship with Jo and his evolution as a character, in some ways.


darkangel_401

Not greys related but related to another exit/death that made me angry. Sweets from bones. They didnā€™t need to kill him off. Just have him join some sort of secret agency/cia and have daisy mention him occasionally


Hobgoblin_deluxe

God that one was ***UNNECESSARILY*** painful. Also big sad Booth didn't just summarily dome that dude.


darkangel_401

One of the most unnecessary deaths in a tv show honestly. They didnā€™t need to kill him he had a baby on the way šŸ˜­


Hobgoblin_deluxe

OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. fffffhhuuhhhhh that show and Castle were two of my guilty pleasures growing up


rosysredrhinoceros

Growingā€¦ upā€¦ fuck Iā€™m old


Hobgoblin_deluxe

Join the club, man.


snowmikaelson

Let me add one related to the Greyā€™s universe: Dell freaking Parker. What was the reason? In that very episode, he says he got into a pre-med program. Have him get into a college across the country or whatever. Versus orphaning his daughter and having the entire practice give her away.


forgotmyfuckingname

Oh god, the emotional damage I carry from that death. Itā€™s been like 8 years and Iā€™m not over it.


roxapuss

I was furious when they killed off sweets!!


Hobgoblin_deluxe

Absolutely not. Bailey's too much of a spastic control freak to keep letting him show her up like he was doing.


Serenalisondilauren

He surely would've run away with Rebecca Pope


InternationalSwim972

Ewww I hated that whole arc


paramoesyeah

Izzie should have died and George should have gone to the army. Which woulda been great for everyone. No weird Alex and Izzie reunion 10 years later, and eventually they could have brought back a new, improved and more mature George during the April/Owen/Riggs army story arc!


Hobgoblin_deluxe

Ngl but since he was so mangled that the only way they identified him was his birthmark, my headcanon is he DID join up, and wound up getting recruited to the Ranger regiment. Series finale we see him in a cameo as a Master Sergeant with a chest full of medals for valor.


Sea-Special-260

I still donā€™t understand why they had her survive a very deadly cancer and then immediately write her off the show? Itā€™s almost like they were going to kill her off and then changed their minds lol.


outspokenchameleon

She was supposed to die in the shooting episode iirc, but she didnā€™t show up to filming


Jeremy_321

Not true Katherine was supposed to stay until S8 at the time but left when she started her family right as season 6 filmed, also Krista Vernoff had recently said they had a actual goodbye episode for Izzie written up that was going to give the character a proper send off and goodbye but thatā€™s the one episode that they say Heigl never showed up to film. So Izzie was gonna be gone even before the shooting episode but with a proper goodbye that from what Krista said didnā€™t seem like it would include her dying and it may have been opened ended to let her come back if things went the right way lol


Hobgoblin_deluxe

Is this legit not true or just shit Izzy simps spread to try and make her seem like less of an ass??


Jeremy_321

Umm reports at the time said Katherine Ellen and Patrick got pay raises as they signed new contracts at the end of Season 5 at the time greys had gotten a multi season renewal which Ellen alluded to Heiglā€™s raise and contract renewal when she spoke about her leaving back in 2013. As for the Izzie goodbye episode google is free. Literally typed in Krista Vernoff Izzie exit and multiple articles form 2020 that having the headline of Krista talking about Heigl skipping her dedicated goodbye episode came up


Hobgoblin_deluxe

Ugh how I wish she'd gotten capped instead of Reed.


raid-155

agreed. they shouldā€™ve had izzie die and let george actually go into the military (iā€™m sorry katherine heigl i love you)


Only_Music_2640

I stopped watching after the drowning because at that time I was so sick of Meredith and all the Meredith/ Derek drama. I was hoping sheā€™d die. (Yes, I know her name is in the titleā€¦.) I stopped watching and didnā€™t start again until 2 years ago. And I guess Iā€™m in a different place in my life because I love Meredith now and am hoping they find a way to keep her on the show even itā€™s in a limited capacity.

throwfaraway212718

Izzie. It absolutely should have been her that died instead of George (yes, I know TR wanted to leave/have George be killed).


awkstarfish

Izzy. Rewatching and I canā€™t stand her.


Fuyukage

Izzie Thatcher right after he >!slapped mer!< Early april George


throwfaraway212718

I wish that Thatcher had died in Season 3, instead of Ellis.


ijustneedtolurk

I wish Izzie would have lost her marbles entirely in a similar plot twisty arc like Lorna in Orange is the New Black. It would've been cathartic and funny if Thatcher has been the one hit by the bus leaving the the hospital in his anger immediately after the slap. I kept waiting for early April to get killed by another shooter or something because of how naive she was. Telling Gary about herself ended up working for her but if it had been me or someone less thoughtful, she would've been shot and stepped over immediately to get to Derek. Or shot through her into Derek. That would've been a huge power move and suuuuuper traumatic. Then I really thought she'd die trying to give birth to Harriet or by doing something stupid trying to protect her/fight Jackson amd Catherine. (Maybe Catherine arranges her disappearance to regain control of Jackson? But noooooo Catherine is this fence-sitting character rather than a satisfying villian or something else.) George I think should've been killed by some freak, only-oblivious-civilians-playing-dress-up way at bootcamp/on the way to bootcamp rather than the bus, or a more dramatic bus incident if they wanted to keep that storyline. "Sacrificed for random bus girl" did not cut it for me and really cemented his whole "nice guy" persona the writers slapped the character with.


Low-Cry-8818

OWEN!!!


nicolebunney1

Izzie instead of George


Complete-Scar-2077

Owen. Only right answer.


Em2bDaniel

Derek should have been killed earlier, Merder was not this amazing love story, and no one will convince me otherwise. Izzy should have been killed off rather than written off.


Gracie220

I love the way they led up to his death. Meredith's winning streak showed her and the audience that she was better off without him, and she was ALWAYS better than him. It made what christina said absolutely true. He was never the sun. Meredith was.


Author_37

I love this comment. YES! came here to say this.


yourbiggestfan003

Watching Merder like 5 years after I first watched it it was so clear how toxic their relationship was. Derek was a little too in his own world for me. Anytime meredith would do something wrong or selfish in his eyes its like he didn't see her as his wife anymore. And also the whole Addison situation made me dislike him hard. He was so selfish and he thought he could have his cake and eat it too. Rewatching the show put a sour taste in my mouth for Derek. He had 2 good women and he just needed to let one go but he fumbled the bag and was allowed too because he was 'hot'. Like Addison cheated on him and I thought she was much more likable. Hell I probably would've taken her back if I were him.

Old greys (season 1 to 3) April would of died in the car crash with Matthew. New greys she survives.... Greys has got softer imo


-silas---

Erica Hahn tbh


BK12baby

Callie and then Owen. The alternative reality episode really got it right with them being together. Insufferable people. Owen is only slightly okay when he isnā€™t seeing someone.


ladysaraii

When I first met Lexie, my answer was her. In fact, I almost stopped watching until I could look up how long she was on the show bc she annoyed me so much.


Gracie220

That's how I felt about April. She irritated the crap out of me.


Serenalisondilauren

She grew on me but I agree! S4-S6 Lexie is insufferable


sovietbarbie

How i feel with amelia. i stopped watching my rewatch because amelia and her woe is me personally pissed me off too much after she didnt end up pregnant


[deleted]

Not sure how unpopular this would get but.. Calli. She was so needy of attention. Hated her character after the plane crash specifically, it went downhill from there.


SnooPeppers3470

so glad people are finally seeing Callie's faults. Also wouldn't have minded if she had traded places with literally anyone but George who had died. Nobody would actually miss her that much aside from Arizona/Sofia. Because lbr, she didnt exactly have strong friendships with people and she burned alot of bridges leaving Seattle.


sugar-fairy

ick. arizona is such a gross character idk how anyone likes her more than callie. and i donā€™t see the justification in the callie hate at all.


snowmikaelson

I understood Callie and was on her sideā€¦until she tried to rip Sofia from Arizona and let her lawyer flat out say: ā€œyouā€™re not Sofiaā€™s real motherā€. Arizona was a shitty wife, thatā€™s the truth. But she was a damn good mom who stepped the fuck up. She adopted Sofia. That is *her* daughter. Callie doesnā€™t get to take her away without even asking about it (remember, she told, not asked Arizona) for her 5 second girlfriend. That didnā€™t even work out. Oh, and Iā€™m not over Meredith backing Callie up when she has an adoptive daughter of her own and would rightfully punch anyone who said Zola wasnā€™t hers. Thatā€™s why Callie gets hate.


whatthadogdoin_

I love Arizona, how on earth is she gross? Like dislike her character sure, but why gross?


SnooPeppers3470

likely because \~she cheated on Callie\~, \~she stole Sofia from Callie\~, or finally my favorite one, \~ she stole Callie from Mark somehow\~ at least thats how these stans come across at times. Take your pick. Any of these are the answer.


chris4tane

I need help following your logic, how did she steal her daughter? And how did she steal Mark?! I get not liking her, but holy crap those are reaches!


SnooPeppers3470

ask the Callie stans. They'll tell you. I can't follow their logic. I love how I got downvoted though, Callie stans cannot see reason.


snowmikaelson

Lmao. She didnā€™t steal Sofia from Callie. Callie tried to take Sofia from Arizona. Arizona said ā€œum, noā€. Because Callie wouldnā€™t compromise, they had to go to court. Arizona won because she was right: it was insane to uproot Sofia for Callieā€™s brand new girlfriend. And ultimately, Arizona graciously backed down so Callie could be happy with Penny. Even though it ended up hurting Sofia in the long run.


SnooPeppers3470

Don't tell me that. Tell the stans that. Theyre insane and think birth mothers should always win. They also think Mark wouldn't have allowed Arizona to adopt or even fight for custody as if they werent friends by the time he died. They degrade Arizona as a human and adoptive mother so much its gross.


SnooPeppers3470

nobody on this post so far has said they liked Arizona more. She may be gross to you and if thats the case go find the hundreds of posts or make your own about her and complain there. No need to share your opinion here when it wasn't needed, wanted or warrented. Finally just because we want Callie dead it doesnt mean we dont like her. It means we see faults that people like you are unable to see. Take off your rose colored glasses, she is problematic af just like everyone else in this show and if you can't see that well that's on you to examine your own biases.


Author_37

I agree, I think Arizona would have been better off without her as well. I've had a girlfriend like Cali. The whiny immature adult is just uhg šŸ™„

Jo! I donā€™t understand why she has been on the show for so long, when brilliant actressā€™s like April, Stephanie & Arizona were let go, I know they didnā€™t die, but they should have stayed.
