when she said " i cant breath" it gave me lexie vibes when her and mark broke up and this feels like slexie all over again but in a version where they both do not die.
I‘m just going to pretend like this didn‘t happen. It‘s honestly the most unrealistic thing that happend in Grey‘s Anatomy and my Jolex heart hurts so much..
same!! I am ignoring all of this because it would never have happened if Justin didn't need to leave.. the writers just scrambled to make a storyline and this was the best they could come up with!!!! Alex loved and loves jo with all of his heart and this write off was so poor it completely destroyed any character development he had made since season one which really annoys me but.... 😭😭
It's not so much *what* happened (well, that too) but *how* it was presented. All those episodes where Alex was AWOL, they could have started building the storyline of his exit. Instead, we get a single-episode story which is the laziest piece of writing ever produced on primetime TV. It's like something written on a napkin, during some writer's 20-minute taxi ride home. ONE lame-ass letter, full of telling-not-showing, REPEATED three times with only slightly different phrasing just to fill the screen-time, which of course wasn't nearly reached just with the three iterations of the letter, so they went "whatevs, just fill the rest with flashbacks".
@@donyadarougar4527Same they basically made him do the one thing he promise Jo he would never. He told her that the only thing he wants to do is come home to her.
yeah you're right, i don't know whhy im saying that but i think that i wouldve prefered if they've killed him instead of this stuuuupid ending !!!! with this ending they just killed ALL THE PROGRESS that alex made through all seasons...poor jo :( i feel so bad for her
@@youtubehalofan-4313 That was definitely horrible too, but I just feel like this is so much worse because they just threw away all of that growth and love that they'd built between Jo and Alex for the last like 5 seasons. At least Lexi and Mark both died knowing they loved each other.
Think it was really the only way to do it. Considering he left the show himself because he wanted to focus on other things. They had to make up something so they went back to Izzie and the whole when she wanted kids situation. I hate the way he left.. and it’s true if he came back he wouldn’t of been able to leave. But it’s Alex, he loves kids and always wanted to be a family and he stepped right into one he never knew he had. It wouldn’t be Alex if he left his own kids considering how he grew up and wouldn’t want to do that to his own kids.
This is so heartbreaking. This was a total character assasination of Alex. He was so in love with Jo since s9. He even told Arizona that he was in love with an intern.This hurts so much. I know that Jolex couldn't be endgame due to Justin leaving, but they should have killed him off instead, and made Jo pregnant with his baby. Jolex was suposed to be it. Him still being in love with Izzie makes zero sense. This was ooc behavior of Alex. he would never do that to someone he claimed to love. Please make more Jolex videos.
@@oliviabrooke_ yes, there's only Benly left, and they must be protected at all cost. But there is still a chance of Justin returning in the future. I'm stilll holding out hope for Jolex. It's small but it's there

Blahhh thank you 😂 it not that he’s spent how many seasons starting off with ‘I’ll never be like my family’ then telling Jo multiple times he’ll never leave her, from the gun incident to her addictions like mate he wouldn’t just up and leave and basically do what izzie did to him!?

I am going to pretend that he died, because Alex would never do this. He had the best character development ever and within a second that development got destroyed. The guy that was willing to go to prison for her would just ditch her that is sooo unbelievable 😭
avrillover27 it would explain it tho. Izzie is a psycho she basically said to Denny he would have to let her cut the lvad wire or she would never forgive him.
I can't believe this... First I lost Meredith and Derek, then my lovely Lexie and Mark, and then ofc Jackson and April (I cried for hours lol) and now these two... I wanna cry this is horrible, why did they do this to us?
Is it bad that I used to ship jolex but after watching the episode I’m actually team Izzex. Hear me out, I never watched the first few seasons with Izzie on the show. Then, I see all their flashbacks and I can’t help but like them together. Now, I’m watching the first few seasons and I root for Izzie and Alex
At the time Derek died, everybody was like: OMG, this is the most terrible writing Shonda ever did. Shonda: Wait till you see what I'll do to Alex.....
@@andreaf8404 Super underrated comment. I'm getting so annoyed that people think killing off Derek was WORSE than what they did here with Alex/Jo and this is a great way to paint it and try to get some of them to see our point of view - what if they'd had Derek disappear with no goodbye on Meredith and just ghost his wife after everything because of noble obligations of some kind... the comparison falls apart and is hard to fully make because Derek already had kids with Meredith and it isn't that likely that he would've donated sperm to someone or somewhere leading to how he'd then suddenly have kids elsewhere to raise, if you could imagine him and Meredith never having kids though... idk. basically Derek's death, none of the other deaths, were worse writing than this. We're talking about the difference between horrible characterization and misunderstanding of the fundamental nature of who your character is and what choices they would likely make, compared with annoying plot points around a character's life without all the character assassination. I hated how they killed off Mark Sloan in large part because he was alive and fine at the end of a season finale and then the season resumes and he's in a hospital bed in a coma or something worse than that idk, never to be shown awake and conscious again, where it feels like a weird part of the storyline was skipped... and it would've been better to either make it clear his health was in danger in the season finale, or show the experience of the shock of him not being fine as it all started in the aftermath, instead of just skipping to him essentially being brain dead. But while it was kinda pretty bad writing, it was not nearly as big a betrayal of the character as what this choice of Alex's was.
Seriously I don't even watch the show anymore but Alex leaving Jo for Izzie is the stupiest thing that has ever happened on that show... It's just so unfair for Jo! And for Alex too he's not that kind of guy, not after all this development we have watched for so many seasons
In fact the actor who played Karev said that he didn't want to play more than 350 episodes and here we are but I find the end is horrible ,they could do better because he doesn't say goodbye to Joe,to Meredith... I wanted to see him a last time. That's Meredith and Karev !
they truly had the best love story on the show huh cannot believe they took all that away in the blink of an eye this whole video is heartbreaking, but the absolute worst is hearing jo saying she would like to take his name because she never had the name of anyone who loved her, and you paired that up with the letter address 'jo karev' I M GONNA SUE
and now you're telling me alex left everybody who stayed with him for someone who left him?!?!?! Alex is sooo much more than thaaat! He deserves a better ending!! ALEX AND JO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENDGAME!!!!!!
I honestly use to love Alex and Izzie in the beginning but then started to ship these two when they got together, and can’t believe the writers did this to them 😟 this is heartbreaking
Alex true love is and always was jo even when he don't know it because it's too dumb, anyway he date her like 8 years and was with izzie like what 2....?I don't know izzie and him was most of the time apart then together lol
this hurts so much and you just proved like so much that this storyline made no sense and Alex WOULD NEVER. this is a beautifully edited video that told their story so well, even if I'm crying! 💔
i hate alex. his character development during the show was amazing he loved jo. she had suffered so much from abuse and loss and alex was the only one who could understand her, they had a whole future waiting for them he was someone jo finally felt safe with. she has gone through so much pain in the past and now alex leaves her for izzie. my heart aches for jo i could never imagine loving someone so much for the first time in your life, loving someone so much that your world feels incomplete without them. i just wish jo could be happy for once😩
tati marie I don’t hate Alex since I know why they did this . I just wish they could have done it differently . It seemed like he just up and left the show so freaking suddenly. I hate them now . Great series finale for me . Bye bye greys .
Over the last week I've read a lot of comments where people believe that this ending for Alex makes sense. That he and Izzie were always the end game and I would agree with this ending if he had been married to anyone EXCEPT Jo!! The fact of the matter is that, REALISTICALLY, he would NEVER have done this to Jo! Not with who Jo's character is and who they were as a couple; all of the history between them and everything they overcame. This ending just doesn't fit with his character as long as he's attached to Jo!
Everyone keeps saying “Alex Karev would never” but I think he would but in a different way. I think he would tell jo, and only jo in person, and he would tell her I still love you but I love my kids and I have to go to them. Then he would say you can come with me or you can stay. I love you but you know more than anyone that I have to go to my kids. I hope you respect that. I like how he has Kids but I wished they went about it a different way to keep him and jo together
S J they didn’t say he’d leave her. They said he’d explain why he has to go be there for those kids. For someone who grew up without a good father figure, the prospect of being that for someone else could be completely life changing. It’s actually a sign of great maturity and a sign that he’d be a good parent if he unselfishly went to raise those kids.
Madeline Lopez If he “unselfishly went to raise those kids,” he’s still leaving her, someone who went through hell growing up, has zero family, went through her entire life without a mother or a father, was abused in foster homes until she ended up homeless, was almost killed by her abusive ex husband, and has so many trust and abandonment issues. But because she’s an adult it’s okay to leave her, someone Alex built a relationship with and actually knows for kids who were born without his consent? Using someone else’s sperm without their knowledge is illegal. Izzie clearly had no problems with being a single mother.
I’m Italian, I watch Grey's Anatomy on internet. I still haven't found the courage to watch Alex Karev's latest episode. I am too angry. I loved Izzie and Alex, but Jo is the love of Alex’s life. Thanks to Jo, Alex is reborn, he loved again. This ending canceled out all of Alex's growth. It does not make sense. I will never be able to accept it. And I’m crying while I’m watching this beautiful video 😭
they have my heart always and forever. the fact that she's calling him telling him that she'd jump in front of a bear for him while he's frolicking on a farm with his ex-wife and secret kids....... nahhhhh he would never do that
this broked me in so many ways that I can not do any other thing but cry. Alex didn't deserved this ending. Jo didn't deserve this either. They worked so hard in their relationship and now writters messed all up. Also, Congratulations, you made a beautiful work.
Camilla it's pregnant may be they put this info the show and at least she will have Alex baby or they reunited at the end of the show if izzie maybe die for cancer
Donya Darougar exactly his storyline was about growth and the thing is their is coparenting but Izzie would never agree and he said in the letter he loves Izzie but he would pick Jo that doesn’t make sense
@@keishlamontes2190 "I would stay with you like I promised over and over again knowing everything you've been through for your whole life, but the psycho bitch who abandoned me went behind my back and used our eggs to have kids then kept them from me, and if I hadn't just randomly bumped into her I never would have known they exist, and so now I have to sleep with her and tell her that I love her otherwise I'll never see my kids because she won't let me be with you and just be their dad, because did I mention she's a psycho?" Like why did he have to choose to leave her for Izzie? They could have made a statement about women using children as currency rather than completely assassinating his character. But saying bad things about women wouldn't be very woke, would it. Siiiiiiigh. I hate this show.
@@mydogeatspuke “psycho ex-wife kidnapped him” omg that is now the storyline I’m going with, in my head, instead of Alex dying lol. That’s actually more realistic as it doesn’t destroy Alex’s character development. Ugh worst exit ever!
It kind of reminds me of season 2. When Derek chose Addison because he thought it was the right thing to do. Because he had been married to her for 11 years. But in the end he chose Meredith because he loves her more. Now Alex chose Izzie because they have kids together. But I really hope that in the en of the show he will come back to Jo because their love has always been so pure. (Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language)
I just waited for you to do a video about it. What they did with/to Alex is so messed up and he didn't deserve this. They took so much time to build up Jolex and then they destroy them like this? Alex would never do this to Jo. I will just pretend like this didn't happen. :/ anyway...the video is heartbreaking and beautiful! I am going to miss them :/
AriaTate exactly they literally just got married for the SECOND time recently, jo just came out of hospital after having a break down! alex would not just leave his wife for an ex from years ago and send her a LETTER like what
@@oliviabrooke_ also he knows how it felt when Izzie just left him and he would never do that to Jo and forgive Izzie for leaving him and having his children in secret. And he knows about Jo's past and her trust issues so it doesn't make sense at all. This is literally the worst thing that they could have done to explain Alex not appearing on the show anymore. :/
that's not fair for her , i always thought he loved her more than she loved him and i realize it's the inverse. Jo was here for 7 years, they were together for 7 years she stayed and choose him but Izzie left they stayed together for like a year and she left him. that's not fair at all
This is so well done that I love it and I hate it. I feel so bad for Jo that watching this for the 10th time in a row makes my heart hurt for her. They were actually perfect for each other.
me: *tries to be happy for alex because he did become a father and does deserve that* also me: but Jo!! What about her? me: *clicks on this flawless video*
I understand the actor left at the last minute, and I read they gave a rationale for not killing him off. But he never would have done something so crappy after all that growth. AND the way no character acted like he was an a-hole for doing it! Ack. Rushed hatched job.
They should've just sent him to Africa! Like he wanted to do earlier on to help the kiddos he brought to the hospital that brought Zola. That would've been 1,00 times better that this. He was my favorite because of his character development!!!
your video is SO beautiful! i'm sorry for what all of you must go through :( jo really didn't deserve this and the fans neither! anyways, beautiful editing!
They could of made Alex and Jo still together and Alex could of still found out he had kids and he could go coparent with Izzie and say he moved closer to them and Alex is getting a house ready for him, Jo, and the kids and jo can move there after she finishes up a couple things or have her go back and forth between the two places even if we couldn’t see Alex.
look idec. after all the hardships jo went through and then alex being there for her even when her ex husband came back. he went through so much to make jo trust again. he went through to much to give her a good life full of love and passion. Alex turned into an amazing man. i refuse to believe he would up and leave for a girl he hasn’t seen in 10 years vs having a wife at home who he truly loves and cares for from the bottom of his heart.
This is a beautiful video, I'm in tears... Jo and Alex were endgame, and I'd imagine if Justin Chambers stayed the writers wouldn't have done this to their story-line. I'd prefer him walking out on Jo then killing him off, I am still not over Derek dying!! Izzie Steven was not the woman for him so I'm annoyed that's what the writers chose to use as an exit... However, your work is so good, keep creating amazing content
this is gorgeous, i was excited to see you new jolex video because you edit them so well and i knew it would break my heart and i was right :( they deserved better and this ending to their story will never make sense, i hope you continue to vid them because you make the perfect jolex videos!
I don't care how "beautiful" they tried to explain his leaving through letters (and the cute kids WAS a nice touch)... ...that doesn't take away the fact that what Alex did to Jo was PURE , GRADE-A, FRESHLY-SQUEEZED, F¿CKED UP SH!T, with NO preservatives! (Sorry y'all...I'm making AND canning homemade tomato sauce while typing this, so my brain is in the kitchen!)
i refuse to acknowledge this whole mess happened.. i just know alex my alex WOULD NEVER in a million years do something like this 😐 im so mad they destroyed such a great character (with literally one of the best character development out there) so i'll just keep pretending they're happily together right now because its what thry deserve. anyways... THIS IS BEAUTIFUL and so SO heartbreaking!! also the song choice!!!!! you came for my throat with this one
I finished my own fanvideo tribute after 16x16 but hadn't figured out how to render it correctly when this popped into my subscriptions and i was SO excited to see the video right away. I know how talented you are. I'm jealous of you finding a handful of scenes I couldn't find or even had forgotten about but mainly I'm just loving this emotional video so much. Poor Jo. Your editing in this is so beautiful. The song choice works so well and is so full of the right kind of pain.
i think WE ALL hate this ending, joe deserved better than what krista did to them. he was close to going to jail for her back in season 10, he was literally about to do so many things for her just for him to up and leave?
The only thing that encourages me to keep watching is knowing that Alex would never actually do this and it was all Shonda. Btw amazing job this is on of the best edits I've ever seen!
I really hope shonda gives them a happy ending. Not an ending where they get together but an ending where they're on good terms because right now there not.
I don't even watch Grey's Anatomy anymore and even I know this with Alex was the stupidest thing they've ever done. I mean, it doesn't even match his character anymore.
i really love izzex and i love that they are endgame but still i feel so bad for jo, and honestly she didn’t deserve this, i hope she finds happiness and true love. btw this is amazing😍 your talent
I like how you ended this video. It just goes to show that Jo really is and has been the only person truly in her corner. And I know she had Alex for a long time but then he up and left, she has Meredith but we all know she's a bit everywhere nowadays . Jo has Link but has only just been reunited with him. Jo stands on her own, just as she has her whole life,
I stopped watching season 13 which is the season I was on when I found out he hadn't even been in since last Christmas and he left jo I mean what? He said he'd never leave her like ever and he does love her I know that Alex would have never have left jo not after everything they went through its just sad poor jo she deserved better
this is so heartbreaking... apart from how the writers ruin alex’s character. i am really in pieces for jo, she was the love of his life, she thought she was and the second later she was just a woman he loved. she loves him so much, she trusted him, she married him and then one day he left her for another woman who for 5 years didn’t even dare to call alex and tell him she has their children. jo was alex’s everything and the same with alex. i have never experienced it, but somehow I really feel the pain jo is feeling and i am so proud of her because she didn’t leave everything, she didn’t give up, she faced the truth and go on.
I can't believe that they have ruined this relationship so beautiful, at least they would have given a better ending to this couple. Jo made Alex the man he is now thanks to her the change :(
I’m so mad with this final. Literally, Grey’s killed his best character, after gone Derek and Cristina, but at least both had a decent ending. This is so humiliating for Karev. Karev season 1 returns and don’t care all the development.
15 years of character development down the drain
For real.. it’s like he went back to point 1 like seriously Shonda
Frida i thought Krista Vernoff wrote it
Right it was a waste
15 years!!!!!
Shonda should just give up and hand it over to someone else she kills off all the good ones n leaves us with ransoms at least we still have mer mer
when she said " i cant breath" it gave me lexie vibes when her and mark broke up and this feels like slexie all over again but in a version where they both do not die.
Omg same! I thought it was just me !
Except the most heartbreaking deaths.... We're better than this crap shit writing it doesn't make any sense whatsoever
slexie!! OUR HEAVEN ENDGAME
Jo was always a cheaper version of Lexi
Also Christina said it when she was left with the wedding dress and started to cry.
I‘m just going to pretend like this didn‘t happen. It‘s honestly the most unrealistic thing that happend in Grey‘s Anatomy and my Jolex heart hurts so much..

LITERALLY. He would NOT do this to her. Terrible cheap writing. Horrible.
Yes
Yes
In fact the actor who played Karev said that he didn't want to play more than 350 episodes and here we are but I find the end is horrible ,they could do better because he doesn't say goodbye to Joe,to Meredith... I wanted to see him a last time. That's Meredith and Karev !
Agreed
Yup, it’s like they got bored or were in a hurry and just gave up.
they truly had the best love story on the show huh
cannot believe they took all that away in the blink of an eye
this whole video is heartbreaking, but the absolute worst is hearing jo saying she would like to take his name because she never had the name of anyone who loved her, and you paired that up with the letter address 'jo karev' I M GONNA SUE
who cares 😥😥 they really did just fit
let’s get this right Derek and Meredith has the best love story Jo and Alex had the strongest story coming from where they were and doing this
This was beautiful
To date, this is the worst things Grey's has ever done. Anyone else with me?
This is something I can't forgive to the show. They were too far this time.
and now you're telling me alex left everybody who stayed with him for someone who left him?!?!?! Alex is sooo much more than thaaat! He deserves a better ending!! ALEX AND JO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENDGAME!!!!!!
izzy kidnapped him and sent the letters in my opinion 🙄
Alex:”I’m not going anywhere”
...
Jo:”He left me... and I can’t breathe.”
That part really really hit me hard’
This is the best but saddest edit I’ve ever seen. The way the song goes with the video, the way everything is put together. I’m crying now bye
This video is heartbreaking and beautiful, unlike the ending that was majorly disappointing :(
klaretta319 thank you ❤️
this was so painful to watch but so beautiful. I love the way you centered the end on Jo. She deserves it all
FluffyReed she really does 🥺
Why didn’t anyone talk about how perfect this edit is? & why am I just now seeing this?
I honestly use to love Alex and Izzie in the beginning but then started to ship these two when they got together, and can’t believe the writers did this to them 😟 this is heartbreaking
juniesparks434 me too, these two were perfect for each other 😭
Alex true love is and always was jo even when he don't know it because it's too dumb, anyway he date her like 8 years and was with izzie like what 2....?I don't know izzie and him was most of the time apart then together lol
It is "used" and you don't need to add the honestly (it has the opposite effect and makes you sound more insincere).
this hurts so much and you just proved like so much that this storyline made no sense and Alex WOULD NEVER. this is a beautifully edited video that told their story so well, even if I'm crying! 💔
othrockzmysockz thank you 🥺💔
i hate alex. his character development during the show was amazing he loved jo. she had suffered so much from abuse and loss and alex was the only one who could understand her, they had a whole future waiting for them he was someone jo finally felt safe with. she has gone through so much pain in the past and now alex leaves her for izzie. my heart aches for jo i could never imagine loving someone so much for the first time in your life, loving someone so much that your world feels incomplete without them. i just wish jo could be happy for once😩
tati marie i hope everyone’s there for her i’m ☹️☹️
Camilla it's pregnant may be shell had Alex baby I hope the write it to the show
tati marie I don’t hate Alex since I know why they did this . I just wish they could have done it differently . It seemed like he just up and left the show so freaking suddenly. I hate them now . Great series finale for me . Bye bye greys .
and that’s on period
Over the last week I've read a lot of comments where people believe that this ending for Alex makes sense. That he and Izzie were always the end game and I would agree with this ending if he had been married to anyone EXCEPT Jo!! The fact of the matter is that, REALISTICALLY, he would NEVER have done this to Jo! Not with who Jo's character is and who they were as a couple; all of the history between them and everything they overcame. This ending just doesn't fit with his character as long as he's attached to Jo!
alvick53 i agree, doesn’t make any sense
Everyone keeps saying “Alex Karev would never” but I think he would but in a different way. I think he would tell jo, and only jo in person, and he would tell her I still love you but I love my kids and I have to go to them. Then he would say you can come with me or you can stay. I love you but you know more than anyone that I have to go to my kids. I hope you respect that. I like how he has Kids but I wished they went about it a different way to keep him and jo together
Yeah but you don't need to leave your wide for your kids. That makes no sense in today's world.
What planet do you live on where a guy leaves his wife for kids he doesn't even know?
I like this a lot.
S J they didn’t say he’d leave her. They said he’d explain why he has to go be there for those kids. For someone who grew up without a good father figure, the prospect of being that for someone else could be completely life changing. It’s actually a sign of great maturity and a sign that he’d be a good parent if he unselfishly went to raise those kids.
Madeline Lopez If he “unselfishly went to raise those kids,” he’s still leaving her, someone who went through hell growing up, has zero family, went through her entire life without a mother or a father, was abused in foster homes until she ended up homeless, was almost killed by her abusive ex husband, and has so many trust and abandonment issues. But because she’s an adult it’s okay to leave her, someone Alex built a relationship with and actually knows for kids who were born without his consent? Using someone else’s sperm without their knowledge is illegal. Izzie clearly had no problems with being a single mother.
I’m Italian, I watch Grey's Anatomy on internet. I still haven't found the courage to watch Alex Karev's latest episode. I am too angry. I loved Izzie and Alex, but Jo is the love of Alex’s life. Thanks to Jo, Alex is reborn, he loved again. This ending canceled out all of Alex's growth. It does not make sense. I will never be able to accept it. And I’m crying while I’m watching this beautiful video 😭
And.. Jo didn’t deserve all of this!
OMG you killed me with this. THEY DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER
Our Alex Karev WOULD NEVER leave Jo like that, it's so sad what they did to him :(
I couldn't watch this video and not comment. This was heartbreaking, perfect, art.
cassandra grant thank you so much ❤️
they have my heart always and forever. the fact that she's calling him telling him that she'd jump in front of a bear for him while he's frolicking on a farm with his ex-wife and secret kids....... nahhhhh he would never do that
this broked me in so many ways that I can not do any other thing but cry. Alex didn't deserved this ending. Jo didn't deserve this either. They worked so hard in their relationship and now writters messed all up.
Also, Congratulations, you made a beautiful work.
Majx Gomez thank you 😪❤️
This is so sad, but so beautiful ❤️ they were so perfect together, sad that the actor left
thank you ❤️
Worst ending ever in the history of life. I’ll never be okay with this 😩💔💔😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Rachel Washick 😪😪😪
Camilla it's pregnant may be they put this info the show and at least she will have Alex baby or they reunited at the end of the show if izzie maybe die for cancer
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME CRY BECAUSE FALLING + JOLEX? MY HEART BROKE
This doesn’t make any sense, there’s such thing as co-parenting. How can he be in love with someone he’s haven’t met in years since then
And Alex has so much character development since izzie left him!! He’s such a different person to who he was in season 6 it’s a huge fucking joke!! 🙄
and he's hated her the entire time
Donya Darougar exactly his storyline was about growth and the thing is their is coparenting but Izzie would never agree and he said in the letter he loves Izzie but he would pick Jo that doesn’t make sense
@@keishlamontes2190 "I would stay with you like I promised over and over again knowing everything you've been through for your whole life, but the psycho bitch who abandoned me went behind my back and used our eggs to have kids then kept them from me, and if I hadn't just randomly bumped into her I never would have known they exist, and so now I have to sleep with her and tell her that I love her otherwise I'll never see my kids because she won't let me be with you and just be their dad, because did I mention she's a psycho?" Like why did he have to choose to leave her for Izzie? They could have made a statement about women using children as currency rather than completely assassinating his character. But saying bad things about women wouldn't be very woke, would it. Siiiiiiigh. I hate this show.
@@mydogeatspuke “psycho ex-wife kidnapped him” omg that is now the storyline I’m going with, in my head, instead of Alex dying lol. That’s actually more realistic as it doesn’t destroy Alex’s character development. Ugh worst exit ever!
It kind of reminds me of season 2. When Derek chose Addison because he thought it was the right thing to do. Because he had been married to her for 11 years. But in the end he chose Meredith because he loves her more. Now Alex chose Izzie because they have kids together. But I really hope that in the en of the show he will come back to Jo because their love has always been so pure. (Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language)
Bring Alex back or end the show. Talk done!
I just waited for you to do a video about it. What they did with/to Alex is so messed up and he didn't deserve this. They took so much time to build up Jolex and then they destroy them like this? Alex would never do this to Jo. I will just pretend like this didn't happen. :/ anyway...the video is heartbreaking and beautiful! I am going to miss them :/
AriaTate exactly they literally just got married for the SECOND time recently, jo just came out of hospital after having a break down! alex would not just leave his wife for an ex from years ago and send her a LETTER like what
@@oliviabrooke_ also he knows how it felt when Izzie just left him and he would never do that to Jo and forgive Izzie for leaving him and having his children in secret. And he knows about Jo's past and her trust issues so it doesn't make sense at all. This is literally the worst thing that they could have done to explain Alex not appearing on the show anymore. :/
You always pick such good songs for these
Elizabeth Anne thank you 🥰
I love the song choice. It’s so fitting for the situation.
i haven't watched it yet but i'm about to bawl my eyes out
Uf, Oliva, oh my god, this edit has broke my heart in so many ways. I always gonna miss this couple
that's not fair for her , i always thought he loved her more than she loved him and i realize it's the inverse. Jo was here for 7 years, they were together for 7 years she stayed and choose him but Izzie left they stayed together for like a year and she left him.
that's not fair at all
This is so well done that I love it and I hate it. I feel so bad for Jo that watching this for the 10th time in a row makes my heart hurt for her. They were actually perfect for each other.
me: *tries to be happy for alex because he did become a father and does deserve that*
also me: but Jo!! What about her?
me: *clicks on this flawless video*
this edit is beautiful. i’m crying
I understand the actor left at the last minute, and I read they gave a rationale for not killing him off. But he never would have done something so crappy after all that growth. AND the way no character acted like he was an a-hole for doing it! Ack. Rushed hatched job.
Omg falling!!! I love greys and I love Harry. This video is absolutely perfect
They should've just sent him to Africa! Like he wanted to do earlier on to help the kiddos he brought to the hospital that brought Zola. That would've been 1,00 times better that this. He was my favorite because of his character development!!!
after everything jo been thru she didn’t deserve this 💔
Alex’s growth throughout the seasons literally was all thrown away with him leaving. THE WORST WRITE OFF EVER.
your video is SO beautiful! i'm sorry for what all of you must go through :( jo really didn't deserve this and the fans neither! anyways, beautiful editing!
xchuckandblairx thank you! 💞
They could of made Alex and Jo still together and Alex could of still found out he had kids and he could go coparent with Izzie and say he moved closer to them and Alex is getting a house ready for him, Jo, and the kids and jo can move there after she finishes up a couple things or have her go back and forth between the two places even if we couldn’t see Alex.
I have never cried so often and so much about a series
this is so freaking amazing and heartbreaking!!!!
Sara Kennedy thank u so much ❤️❤️
this is my favorite edit thank you
look idec. after all the hardships jo went through and then alex being there for her even when her ex husband came back. he went through so much to make jo trust again. he went through to much to give her a good life full of love and passion. Alex turned into an amazing man. i refuse to believe he would up and leave for a girl he hasn’t seen in 10 years vs having a wife at home who he truly loves and cares for from the bottom of his heart.
she was finally getting better and then they made Alex do this. unbelievable
This is a beautiful video, I'm in tears... Jo and Alex were endgame, and I'd imagine if Justin Chambers stayed the writers wouldn't have done this to their story-line. I'd prefer him walking out on Jo then killing him off, I am still not over Derek dying!! Izzie Steven was not the woman for him so I'm annoyed that's what the writers chose to use as an exit...
However, your work is so good, keep creating amazing content
this is gorgeous, i was excited to see you new jolex video because you edit them so well and i knew it would break my heart and i was right :( they deserved better and this ending to their story will never make sense, i hope you continue to vid them because you make the perfect jolex videos!
The FACT that we all really expected that one happy ending 😔
This is absolutely gut-wrenching.
He would NEVER EVER leave her, after everything she’s been through? omg this was the worst thing Grey’s anatomy has ever done.
Beautifully edited 😊😊
Jessica L thank you ❤️
At this moment in time I hate shonda like he's not in love with izzy he loves his kids
Shonda stopped writing after like season 12 this wasn't her lol
The song going with this fits so well. Heartbroken for Jo. :(
I don't care how "beautiful" they tried to explain his leaving through letters (and the cute kids WAS a nice touch)...
...that doesn't take away the fact that what Alex did to Jo was PURE , GRADE-A, FRESHLY-SQUEEZED, F¿CKED UP SH!T, with NO preservatives!
(Sorry y'all...I'm making AND canning homemade tomato sauce while typing this, so my brain is in the kitchen!)
YOU CANT USE THIS SONG AND NOT MAKE ME CRY 😭 😭😭😭😭AHHHHHHGG
i refuse to acknowledge this whole mess happened.. i just know alex my alex WOULD NEVER in a million years do something like this 😐 im so mad they destroyed such a great character (with literally one of the best character development out there) so i'll just keep pretending they're happily together right now because its what thry deserve. anyways... THIS IS BEAUTIFUL and so SO heartbreaking!! also the song choice!!!!! you came for my throat with this one
osivids me too 😪 thank you so much ❤️
I finished my own fanvideo tribute after 16x16 but hadn't figured out how to render it correctly when this popped into my subscriptions and i was SO excited to see the video right away. I know how talented you are. I'm jealous of you finding a handful of scenes I couldn't find or even had forgotten about but mainly I'm just loving this emotional video so much. Poor Jo. Your editing in this is so beautiful. The song choice works so well and is so full of the right kind of pain.
luvtheheaven5 your video is so beautiful and u chose perfect scenes! & thank you so much ❤️
I really hate this ending too
becky200 😣😣
i think WE ALL hate this ending, joe deserved better than what krista did to them. he was close to going to jail for her back in season 10, he was literally about to do so many things for her just for him to up and leave?
As soon as falling started playing my eyes started watering
My heart hurts so much...
leen shepherd-hunt mine too 💔
As sad as it is, this was a beautifully made video. The editing was amazing and it all flows so well. Good job. 👏👏
it hurts so much! I'm still in shock that they really destroyed The couple. I'll never get over it!
JOSWALD me too 😣
jolex was literally the best love story on the show. breaks my heart.
he pulled an izzie, when she left he called and called constantly and everyone jeez
Haven’t watched season 16 and this spoiled it all, it’s like do I even want to cry this hard omg. This will actually destroy me
Jo deserved better!!
Shamiya Green !!!
The only thing that encourages me to keep watching is knowing that Alex would never actually do this and it was all Shonda.
Btw amazing job this is on of the best edits I've ever seen!
I really hope shonda gives them a happy ending. Not an ending where they get together but an ending where they're on good terms because right now there not.
I wish i could go back to when i first watched the show
I don't even watch Grey's Anatomy anymore and even I know this with Alex was the stupidest thing they've ever done. I mean, it doesn't even match his character anymore.
THIS IS SO SAD….. this actually made me so sad everytime I binge this show..
i really love izzex and i love that they are endgame but still i feel so bad for jo, and honestly she didn’t deserve this, i hope she finds happiness and true love. btw this is amazing😍 your talent
They did her dirrty. I’m over here freaking crying 😢
I like how you ended this video. It just goes to show that Jo really is and has been the only person truly in her corner. And I know she had Alex for a long time but then he up and left, she has Meredith but we all know she's a bit everywhere nowadays . Jo has Link but has only just been reunited with him. Jo stands on her own, just as she has her whole life,
Thanks for making me cry 😂😭
I stopped watching season 13 which is the season I was on when I found out he hadn't even been in since last Christmas and he left jo I mean what? He said he'd never leave her like ever and he does love her I know that Alex would have never have left jo not after everything they went through its just sad poor jo she deserved better
SaltzmanTwins Gryffindor yeah it doesn’t fit his character at all 😞
@@oliviabrooke_ i know right but he write to Meredith that if not the kids he'll return to jo
Just keep watching but stop after the 350th episode, because that's Justin's last episode
Awesome vid! Congratz!
Cassio Casagrande thank you!!
this is so heartbreaking... apart from how the writers ruin alex’s character. i am really in pieces for jo, she was the love of his life, she thought she was and the second later she was just a woman he loved. she loves him so much, she trusted him, she married him and then one day he left her for another woman who for 5 years didn’t even dare to call alex and tell him she has their children. jo was alex’s everything and the same with alex. i have never experienced it, but somehow I really feel the pain jo is feeling and i am so proud of her because she didn’t leave everything, she didn’t give up, she faced the truth and go on.
I personally have been waiting for this
I can't believe that they have ruined this relationship so beautiful, at least they would have given a better ending to this couple. Jo made Alex the man he is now thanks to her the change :(
It's comforting to see other people mad about what happen
„I can‘t breathe“ 💔
i was no joke sobbing this entire episode
After what they DId to april and japril this was the worst and most illogical thing ever. I am so sorry for jo
the harry song. i’m SOBBING
I’m so mad with this final.
Literally, Grey’s killed his best character, after gone Derek and Cristina, but at least both had a decent ending.
This is so humiliating for Karev.
Karev season 1 returns and don’t care all the development.
I literally cried for DAYS after this
