- Since its premiere in 2005, the ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy has seen all kinds of characters come and go. The episodes featuring the deaths of beloved characters have often been some of the most famous (or infamous) of the series.
The departure of one of the show’s stars often leaves fans to wonder what was behind the move, and some of the exits have been more dramatic than others. In some cases, a mutual decision is reached that it’s time to move on, while in others, actors have been fired for being difficult on set. Let’s take a look at the real reason these actors left Grey’s Anatomy.

Little Grey was incredible. The way she left the show was devastating.
yes! and lexi and mark finally realizing they love each other and need to be together, came the death of them both. i was pissed. and beause of that, i felt that harder than derek's death. and i'm a widow so derek's death was hard on me. i think this show caused 1/2 the tears i've cried through my life. i miss cali, georgie and christina too. i never could stand burke.
@@KittyLovesGlover I know right! i've cried so much because of that show
Jonathan Ramirez i cried and still cry every time i watch that episode i have never been so emotionally attached to a character(s) such as her and sloan
Yep, it's why I stopped watching after Cristina left. I had SO much anxiety watching her last episode thinking Shonda was going to kill her off, and when she didn't I realized I didn't want to continue feeling that kind of anxiety waiting till someone else gets killed off 😫 It's just not enjoyable for me.
I like to think they faked there death and ran away and had lots of kids and are happy
I can't be the only one that continued watching Grey's anatomy because of that 'Hi, I'm Addison Shepherd and you must be the woman screwing my husband'
Addison Shepherd was amazing. like she really was one of my favorites
.
That was like season 2of15 really
hahaha
😹 😹 😹
Same😂
honestly people care so much about how they killed off derek but i’m still heart broken about mark and lexi😭😡
Same
IKR
100% agree
there love was the best love in this hole show!!!
I stopped watched after they killed mark and Lexie. I hate Shonda rhimes for breaking my heart
Derek survives being shot and a plane crash, but he has to die FROM A CAR CRASH
EDIT: THANK YOU FOR 1K LIKES THATS CRAZY!!
EDIT: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 2K LIKES OH MY GOSH!!!!
THANK YOU FOR 3K OH MY!
4K?!?!
@ThatBritishKid4321 A bloody doctor didn't give him a head CT
lucy s because he disrespected a woman
lucy s IK JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZ NOT TO BE MEAN THO I MENT ABOUT THE SHOW
Burr Holes...
IKR LIKE SHOULDVE GOT HIM THE HEAD CT
I miss a lot of the original cast especially the ones that were killed off 😭
JENNY LIVING 😭 Same 😭
i miss george so much
JENNY LIVING ikr
Derek and lexi💯😩😩
JENNY LIVING true. Except for Issie. She can go ahead and stay gone ✌🏾
I will never forgive them for killing off George. When he wrote “007” in her hand something died in me as well. 😩
Fr I felt like I was going through a personal loss when he died
Yeah it just felt so random
It was so unexpected, I was HEARTBROKEN
It was heartbreaking
not even joking whenever i think of that scene i start tearing up
Me: (Watches Show)
Shonda Rhimes: Hey, you like this character?
Me: Ya
Shonda Rhimes: WELL NOW THEYRE DEAD
Me: ☹️
that sounds a bit like game of thrones
Grant Luu like Derek or George 😢😭
that sounds a bit like every show i’ve seen
Sad but too true!
Lexie and Mark needed more time for their relationship to grow they were right in the middle of it and it was about to be really good
yes
tbh i think that was the point. they needed to put some terrible surprise
Omg yessss
I really liked Addison I even liked her on private practice. Idk she’s so classy and well put together.
Me too and I miss her still.
I loved Addison, such an underrated character
Me too
Me too! I miss her
Me too!
callie's departure was so insignificant i didn't even realize it happened... and it was made into such a small deal omg,, she was like one of my faves
Did you watch the vid? It is because she wasn't intentionally written off. They ended a season with her going to NY, intending to bring her back to Seattle next season, but then the actress quit.....
Gia Barrone wait really? i thought they knew which was why she went to ny. nvm. still though it was like none of the characters even acknowledged that she left
i agree i was wondering why callie wouldn’t move back to seattle after she and penny broke up and was talking to arizona again (especially because of their daughter) because they didn’t make it clear she left the show
callie will always be the best
Same with cristina tho
I miss Cristina yang
Actually she was the best
She was real and funny, but written to appear jealous and too controlling over Meredith... She and Burke were Fire!!
Yeah
@@spiritfilled2558 jealous of Meredith?! She was never jealous of Meredith. Cristina Yang is not jealous of anyone. It’s totally out of character. If you’re talking about her not giving Meredith that one surgery - Cristina was right. By having two kids Meredith chose her path and she wasn’t the best choice to transplant the liver.
Still not over dempsy
I lobe christina and burke
The first seasons of Grey's was the best. Derek having a wife. George and Meredith horrible hook up. Meredith being suicidal. Izzy and Denny. Izzy's Cancer. Christina and Burke having to hide the tremors. Christina pregnancy. Alex and Ava. Alex failing the exams. George's Dad dying. Callie being confused. Meredith's Mother.
Yesss. The drama and romance was great back then. Now shit is just weird and awkward
For real. It was only really good when the original 5 were all together. Now it’s just meh
ItS nOt AvA iTs ReBeCcA
i agree with all except for i hated the whole ava thing
@@Ozzyfofo it was ava. Alex named her as Ava before knowing her real name.
Arizona and April leaving was a stupid decision. Sandra Oh leaving was right. It felt true to her character and her storyline only kept her in Seattle because of Meredith. She had an opportunity to be free and it was Burke who finally set her free. It was poetic and was a great closure to a beloved character.
Lexi and Mark's deaths make sense in the series. Thematically, I was saddened but okay with their deaths.
George's death combined with Izzie's momentary deaths were a shocking conclusion to season 5. George could've had more to do but it did give a great ending to that season.
ERAUPRCWA the actress who played April (Sarah Drew) was let go so technically she really didn’t want to leave but had no choice. I wish they kept April but Arizona leaving honestly makes sense, her character wasn’t really go anywhere character development wise
@@haileyparsons3844 Agreed. I liked Arizona, I like Callie, but I understand... Though I still feel it was stupid to break them up and not give a proper resolution to their relationship. Arizona and Callie, in my opinion, had a better and more well-rounded relationship than Meredith and Derrick.
Derek's dead was so sad but at the same time his story was getting boring... But April... She deserved better, I think they should've fired Jesse and Sarah (it would be heartbeaking but it would make sense) so they could have a happy ending together😞
@@micamonfasani9965 I'd be happy if nobody left and the 'originals' which Sarah and Jessica were (even though they started in season 5 and 6).
Season 14 Alex referenced having knowledge of Izzy still being alive (tho I wonder if it was a hypothetical statement he made vs factual knowledge as I was playing candy crush at the same time) .... THAT SHOCKED me because for all those seasons I assumed she'd have eventually died.
T.R. Knight was 100% right in his decision. What they did to his character was absolute bullshit, he was barely in the show anymore. They wrote this big storyline with him retaking his intern test and passing it to catch up to everybody else again, and then they basically forgot about him. It was lazy writing and it was incredibly disrespectful to T.R.. He was the reason why people loved George, his acting skills brought the character to life, and then the writers/etc. treated him like an expendable character.
And with Patrick Dempsey, everybody ended up reporting that he was let go because he had an affair with somebody on the set - Ellen found out and told his wife (who she was close friends with) and that kinda fucked everything up, especially since Shonda had a "no BS" rule about that kind of thing. Makes sense too, because in Derek's death scene Meredith acts like she barely gives a shit. It should've been a sad scene, but it just came off as boring and felt like she didn't want to be doing it with him. It's possible that the whole story was bullshit, but very unlikely considering everything that adds up with it
Oh damn I did not hear that about Dempsey! I remember hearing him getting paid more then Pompeo and when that changed I thought maybe he didn’t wanna stay. But that’s an interesting rumor. And you think Knight was being punished for coming out during the Dr Burke controversy?
Dang
I could not agree more. Patrick may have done something stupid but Ellen could have at least tried to put some heart into it. We all wanted more from her
You're so on point about T.R Knight, right after he took the exam again and bacame a resident they literally forgot about him, he would appear for like 5 minutes max per episode and that was it, just disgracefull. They couldn't even let his character leave for the army (and I thought it's at least a good exit for his character) but no, they had to literally destroy his character trough a horrible accident.
Damn I didn’t know Patrick cheated
Ugh, I loved Addison. One of my all time favorite characters ever. So glad she got her own show (I still watch it to this day) she really couldn’t have done much more on Greys if she stayed
how’s her new show??
@@KaayyHuynh amazing, in my opinion, it's a lot better than greys. now, (in greys), they're reusing storylines.
i prefer private practice, charlotte king is one of my favorite characters.
Im still sad about derek
angie yessss charlotte i love her and cooper
Same here...addison is my fav in greys anatomy..
Everything went down after George o mally died
George should’ve lived and developed further as trauma surgeon and Izzie should’ve been the one that passed away.
I stopped watching after that
TRUE I STOPPED WATCHING RIGHT AFTER THAT EPSIODE
I stopped watching after george died :(
am i the only one who didnt really love george or the first seasons all that much 😐i feel like it got better after he died! but i really do wish his character could've developed a lot more
From a realistic standpoint, Ben Warren going from anesthesiologist to surgeon to firefighter makes no sense. It’s a huge step down career wise. And that spin off show isn’t even that good.
I love Station 19!
Sorry guys I don’t agree lol
Simalicious357 you only have one life and he found a new passion if everything you did for status or money
I feels bad
maybe one day you'll see that happiness is more important than money
Victoria Hurst It’s not practical, not everything is so black and white.
The show sucks after they killed off all the best characters
I agree wholeheartedly.
Nahhh
AGREED. lexie, mark, and dereks deaths hit the hardest. also callie and christina leaving was just :(
andrew gaming bro YES BROO
grey's anatomy was once so good i used to binge watch the old old seasons and enjoy it now the newer seasons are so boring man, i can't believe that grey's anatomy is still running in 2020, this tv show has been running for a decade! yes, i have seen the newer seasons and the latest season and it's so bad at this point, they should just cancel the series for good, it's about time they do something about it. it's so outgrown now.
To this day, I’m not over Lexi dying... she truly was my favorite for those 5 seasons.
GradeAGaming I agree
yea😔
And right when hers and marks romance could have start to develop more, when she was finally done with her residency :(
@@julicezar9213 yessss soon as I felt like they were going to get back together.. then they had to pull our heart strings and kill him too.
Oh no. I have just started watching the fourth season and that was the first time I saw her and she's dead. Major spoiler alert. This whole comment section gave me a lot of spoiler alerts.
Callie’s character development was outstanding. She had so many heartbreaks and was definitely the underdog most of the time, but never became bitter. She kept a heart of gold. Empathetic, optimistic, loving and hopeful. I was so sad when she left ❤
Yeah she is by far my favorite character on the show. Constantly taking hits in both her personal and professional life yet always has a smile on her face. She always has a positive outlook. She deserved a lot better than to be cheated on by both spouses. I know this show is about cheating and drama but one can always trust Callie to be reliable and straightforward which is one of the reasons she's my favorite. Not to mention she has a kind of finesse in a job of breaking and stitching bones using saws, hammers, nails and other power tools, which is unexpected of an ortho surgeon. The actress really brings the character to life.
Shonda was probably not the nicest she could have been considering the fact that every good actor in the show is gone. I would not be surprised if dr Alex Karev leaves sometime soon. I think that Ellen is only staying bc of her salary. I will forever miss all of these characters. let's hope in season fifteen we see some friendly faces back in the hospital.
chanchal Sharma I read that Shonda said the show will end when Ellen Pompeo decides she doesn’t want to do it anymore. For now, I’m glad she is still doing it then, lol I love that show.
L Stevenson so she’s basically only still doing this because of Ellen? Sad case
Well Ellen has said in an interview that she has stayed to support her family AND because she knows the show and her character has impact on lives.
The show is named after Ellen's character... She leaves, show is over..
She’s really taken over on set and cleaned things up from what I’ve heard.
I guess the set has been a lot better since she stepped into more of a leadership role on set.
Am I the only one who feels that Lexie’s death was so rushed
Yes!
You're not alone bro ✋😔
me
Literally every death is lmao
Sandra Oh was the real protagonist. Without her as Yang the series would never be so good. I was so sad to see her leave, but I loved the way she left. And I was really happy to watch her on Killing Eve.
Remember when “Grey, Omalee, Yang, Grey” was a thing
and Stevens
and karev
You spelled O'Malley so wrong
And Stevens and Karev. You forgot. They are the OG 5.
grey, yang, o’malley, stevens & karev
Derek's death was by far the most painful ep of greys ever but his character would never have left Meredith, and if he had we'd all be hating on the show.
nah I hated him i was glad he died I hope he’s dead forever irl too he was shit
xXxTen17 GLO that’s like a crime against Grey’s Anatomy
I still cry when that ep comes on.
Derek was awful. Like he literally couldnt stand to let meredith shine. She been better since he got killed off.
xXxTen17 GLO imagine wishing death on someone.
Having April leave makes no sense. I kinda get kicking Arizona cause the show really watered down her character through out the years, just a shell of a character at this point. But April was still a well rounded, interesting character.
abirdkilledmeh it’s because April wasn’t getting paid enough for the time she had been there. Well probably because I agree that her leaving didn’t make much sense.
abirdkilledmeh I don’t think she should have been a character in the first place, she was and possibly is the most annoying character written besides Maggie.
Brenda agreed. She had no substance whatsoever and never should have been on the show.
She had absolutely nothing in common with being a dr. Nit credible at all in that field. A really bad character
Can't stand annoying Maggie and her lisp. Worse than Meredith lisp
These were the people that really made Grey's, Grey's. The show is lackluster and Rhimes should consider ending the show on a strong note.
Idk if ending it on a strong note is possible anymore. The show has really tanked. The end of what greys really was kind of endes after the plane crash but was sealed with the departure of Sandrs Oh and Patrick Dempsey. To end of a true strong note it would have been ending the show with either Christina leaving or Derek's death... At this point it's kind of a mess and a soap opera and no matter when they end it...it will be yet another great successful sho w that went on too long and buried itself. Sad really...
Na Justin chambers is leaving
shonda doesn't seem like the best person when it comes to communication.
Grey's anatomy died when the best original characters left the show: George, Ezzie, Shepherd, Mark, Lexie, Carlie, Arizona, Yung, Blake, kepner and Adison.
Even though Bailey, webber, Meredith, and Alex are still there, it's just not the same.
Izzie was annoying. George was to whiny. Derek was a douchebag. Yang was awesome. She needs to come back. Even for a guest appearance. Everyone else wasnt an original character. They were all add ins we grew to love. 🤷♀️
Of course bailey, alex, and meredith are still great.
Destiny D. This is so false imo
Destiny D. Derek was a good guy
True
BLAKE??? NOooo
GA got bad after Cristina left. Krista Vernoff has turned this show into what feels like a horrible teenage drama.
on god
Everyone’s mad about Derek dying but nobody is sad about George dying, the saddest death on the show
i’m team bus 🤷🏽♀️
George was my favorite character, Derek my second
I honestly can't say that any of the deaths was more sad than the others, but I do hate when characters are taken away as quickly as they're introduced to us, and the impact they have on the Show, especially around Meredith 😟
It kinda broke my heart when Sandra Oh left
Are yes I got very upset. But at least she didn't get killed off. she left in a good way
i wish owen was gone. he’s treated every woman horribly and has had little to no character development.
He treated women horrible? LMAO are you all gonna act that Amelia was not a total ass to him the entire season 14?
Watch season 15. Owen has reasons for why he damaged his relationships and it’s explained in season 15 and (hopefully) will be better resolved in season 16.
Madeline Clark he treated THEM horribly?!? Sis what show did you watch? Cristina was mean asf too him through out their entire relationship. He did everything for her and asked for nothing in return. Ex. He wanted a kid she didn’t so he decided that he wanted to stay with her instead of leaving. Same thing with Amelia. She left him at the altar on their wedding day and then came back. She treated him horribly through out their entire marriage too. She told him that she wanted kids and then out of nowhere she was like NOPE I don’t want them anymore and he stayed with her. She left him twice and he didn’t force anything on her again. And she literally admitted to only wanting him for sex
Zanae Simmons we gonna forget he basically wanted to force Cristina to have a kid? Also, Amelia had brain tumor that compromised her decision making. That’s why all that happened, that was literally explained in the show.
pxracy and got mad that amelia didn’t want to have a kid 😂 you think before you marry someone you discus that kind of stuff?? and he did it TWICE. oh then cheated on her with teddy
I feel like Cristina's departure was the one that made most sense out of all of them, it felt right for her character, and it was also the one that made me cry the hardest
Katherine Heigl was so right about that. So so right. We owe her an apology.
Sloan is the most underrated character
I cried so much when Derek and Mark died..... Especially Derek😭😭
Shonda must be tired of making statements about actors leaving lol. It's been going 15 years, of course a lot of actors have left! I think it just feels like such a big deal because we love these characters so much (I miss George the most)
If she was a good and nice person people wouldnt leave... it is that simple... look at supernatural, the writers are good to the cast and everyone wants to come back and always comes back, Sandra Oh left the show for years and she never ever showed up, even to things that were big for Meredith and she supposably played the character that was her best friend (Christina)! If Shonda was a good person actors like Sandra would have come back even for a guest episode but she never wanted to come back even for that.... And to be honest she hasnt even given the rights to even put a flashback of her to the show, which means she left with bad blood from the show. Dont you find it strange that we never see flashbacks of her or from some other characters? It is clear that they didnt give the rights for it. We saw in last night's episode a flashback from Dempsey's character but that's it, and i bet he agreed for some money for it. The others dont even want that... That's how bad Shonda is!
Who else ABSOLUTELY loved O’Malley?
frrrr meeee
Meeeee
Meeeee!!!! A year late than this comment but after he died, i barely catch up the series. They did him soooo dirty. Everyone hates on him bcs of some issues but got blindsided by his kindness n naive george. I would be more than happy if george become bailey bestfriend and co-resident rather than befriend with his original housemate. They barely sit and talk with him besides izzie. Aaaa i miss him
cristina yang is the greatest character on this show. the show started going downhill after she left
Letting go of Arizona and Kepner was a mistake, but the show can survive. Losing Derek was a huge hit, but it made for interesting storytelling.
The biggest blow came when Yang left. The show is still fine, but her friendship with Meredith was the the soul of the show. It’s never been the same since she left.
The only thing wrong with letting go of Arizona is that it didn't happen sooner, she should have died in the plan crash.
Never liked Burke, I was glad when he left. Owen was a much greater love interest for Christina - at least for for his earlier seasons, now he is a mess.
Firstly I liked George's character, but re-watching the show recently i realized he wasn't so great...i think he took advantage of Meredith in an obviously vulnerable moment , entered to an obviously premature marriage, cheated on his wife...for a TV show he was a watchable character, but not a great person....
I was heartbroken about Lexi and Mark's deaths....
Also, without Christina the show will never be the same......
Mark and Lexies deaths were so devastating. The memorial episode to mark literally made it so much worse for me. They are my favourite and will remain my favourite ❤
After watching 12 seasons, I realize that life is too short and accidents can happen everywhere. Thanks to Grey's anatomy, I really appreciate doctors who save lives
Patrick Dempsy: It's hard to keep the storylines intriguing after 10 years
One Piece: Hold my beer
Realty show vs anime lol
Christian Quiñones not a reality show
@@BrettReynolds55Grey's is basically a reality show....🤨
NCIS hold my gun
@@chrisspoohbear8903 NCIS is trash and annoying as freak.
I really miss the original cast that departed.
George’s death hurt me but we still had Yang... then she left.
I officially stop watching the show after Yang's departure.
Yang's departure was a game changer
Burke's leaving made me fall in love with Christina.
I miss izzie and Christina 😭😭 and Sloan Lexi George and Derek lmao
I agree with T.R. Knight. George was dissapearing in season 5. Erica Hahn, Arizona Robbins, Owen Hunt, Lexie Grey & all the new interns were taking up alot of screentime. Meredith, Alex, Izzie, Christina, Richard, Bailey, Derek, Callie & Mark all had major storylines.
Mark’s death hit me really bad. Still haven’t forgiven Shonda for letting Arizona and April and for breaking up Japril!!!
I never imagine Christina Yang would leave. Her and Meredith were there from day 1 and i thought they both would be until the last episode.
I understand why they sent Arizona to New York (to be with Callie and Sofia), but I still don't understand why they took April off the show if she still lives in Seattle and still has a part in the series. She still has a child with Jackson, who's still on the show, and her story with Matthew could've continued, even if it was by way of guest starring, and not being a series regular
I know this is an older video but I will NEVER forgive them for how they wrote Alex’s exit!! HE WOULDN’T JUST LEAVE EVERYONE!!! ESPECIALLY JO and especially Mer! He would try to get Izzie back to Seattle! I cried so hard that whole episode not only because Alex was gone but because of the fact that there was no justice for his character! YEARS of character development thrown away in 1 episode!!!!
shonda is like the hitler of tv shows. if someone says or does something she doesnt like, zhey are gone and never be seen again
when shonda said she was gonna go in a different direction with callie my brain said “SPIN-OFF WITH CALLIE AND ARIZONA IN NY!!!”
that would actually be kinda interesting! like a spin-off based on fetal surgery with the help of Nicole Herman
@Hudson Donald yeah but private practice isn't what i was talking about, plus it's just an idea thrown to the wind
Y'all didn't talk about Jerrika Hinton's character, Edwards, departure.
va4life I’ve noticed that. They never talk about why she left ... 🤔🤷🏻♀️
Maybe she just quit or maybe they didn’t talk about it because she was only an intern. If I’m correct
iluminatig_ 19 she was a resident already when she left. But who knows 🤷🏻♀️
@@giannaportillo9725 She wasn't an intern at that point. She was a resident.
I actually grew to like her too. But I don’t think she was as important as the main characters.
Grey's anatomy was never the same after the departure of George, Izzie, Derek, Alex and Yang.
KEPNER AND ARIZONA'S FIRED WAS THE WORST DECISION EVER. Especially Sarah Drew... Her character was on the progression. She got the best character development. Her acting skills were excellent... God sake she gave premature birth after dead-baby birth scene! Who the hell could afford such a thing like that?! Shooting scene like that?! And Jessica Capshaw also pregnant during the season... Both made great sacrifices. And they fired for what? Nothing... Salary?... It was the worst decision. Including me, most of fans (i mean really most of fans) stopped watching show after they left..!
I haven't seen the show since Arizona and Kepner left.
Same
@@leximustdie who said anything about being a real fan?
I wish I had the strength to stop too, but I love it too much. I'm still watching it, but every episode is painful because there's no Arizona
I’m still watching but it’s hard to watch without Arizona
I loathe Kepner. Not only is she obnoxious, the portrayal of her being from a farm in Columbus, Ohio is bullshit. Then, when she leaves, then comes back, Owen goes and collects her from a farm in Illinois.
Still hurts when I remember Derek and Lexie, and I really miss Addison
this show is absolutely nothing without the original cast. There I said it
I blame Shonda for everything. She must be difficult as hell!
Cristina left so is GA having a trip going downhill. WE NEED CRISTINA YANG BACK ON THE SHOW
But killing eve is amazing
I miss Christina Yang so much. She was my favorite from the beginning
Killing eve is pretty good. Definitely different but still worth it to check out.
Harith Ramzi she was the funneist
I agree. Alex is not as good of a person for Mer as Christina was.
When Meridith was crying for losing Lexie that was one of the saddest episodes!! Poor Lexie 😭
They really took off the best actors 😭
I still can’t get over Georges death, I grew so attached to his character
Didn't Chyler leave because she wanted to be with her family more, I know that her daughter suffered from seizures so I suppose that's why
Lexa Sara Danvers isn’t she in supergirl rn?
yes
I think at the time she wanted to move on and do better things.
I'm pretty sure she wanted to be in more things so like after that she went to supergirl
Lexa is right. Her youngest daughter had really horrible seizures and there were things with their other 2 children. Grey's was a demanding show with long hours, and she needed to be with her family. They actually moved away after she left Grey's, and I think she only worked on like 2 projects between finishing Grey's and beginning Supergirl. She said that she was being sent scripts still and was trying to decide if she even wanted to go back to acting when she got the Supergirl scrip and decided that she would go ahead and audition. She did say recently that her daughter has been seizure free for a few years now, so I'm sure that helped. Not sure she would have taken the audition if that wasn't the case.
Cristina leaving is still heartbreaking, I didn't ever care for Derek (Amelia is a far better Shepherd), but losing Arizona and April at the end of 14 was awful.
I wasn't even a huge Kepner fan, but Sarah Drew's acting in season 14 was nothing short of magnificent, and Arizona was by far one of the best-written characters on the show.
If Karev, Bailey or Webber depart before the series ends, Ima have some words for Krista Vernoff.
Woah woah woah you don’t like Derek he’s one of my favorite characters
Wtf Amelia is literally the most annoying character in the show
@@hannahswets3578 I always thought he was kind of an ass lol. I thought the episode he died in was really sad, because it was sad for all the other characters, but in terms of missing Derek? Nah...
@@htconexify I'd have to disagree. Yeah she had her whiny phase, (so did Meredith, Izzie, and Callie) but I think she's a really dynamic character who's added a lot to the show. I love her struggles with addiction, her relationship with Meredith, and I think she's far better for Owen than Cristina was. (I love Cristina don't get me wrong) Her whole storyline of dealing with Derek's death has been one of my favorite storylines of the later seasons. Her and Edwards made a great duo as well.
Mustafa Manya since she had the tumor removed I liked her much better
To me the show lost a big part of my interest when Cristina left, I mean, I wasn't disappointed with how her story "ended" because it did fit her character but after she was gone it just wasn't the same for me. But in a way I'm also glad Sandra Oh decided to let go on her own because grey's should have ended a long time ago by now, they're REALLY dragging it. It's sad because it used to be such a great show.
Izzie: Surviving a 5% survival chance cancer at the end of the 5th season
Also Izzie: Leaves the hospital 10 episodes later
Me: Really she survived that so that we could see her 10 more episodes?
Arizona and April should've stayed. Their stories weren't over yet.
April...YES! Arizona....NO!
@@KizzieWiz YES ARIZONA
The way April got written off kinda annoyed me tbh i grew to like her and then they just send her off with Matthew 😩??
I was actually hoping April and Avery to get back together..
@@user-lu4xp7iv8c Factsss 🤦🏽♀️
After the 6th season i was out.....the first seasons were THE BEST!!!
Karen Cristina Concepción EXACTLY
I left when it started getting political. I just want to be entertained, leave politics out of the shows.
Your not missing much.
@@kalynulbrich1015 i figured that much...too sad really... But greatful for the lovely entertaiment the first seasons offered... Trully captivating💘💙🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Karen Cristina Concepción i mean Alex is still there along with Weber and Bailey. but that’s about it. Alex has grown up and changed a lot. but yea
addison and Arizona will ALWAYS be my favorite throughout the whole show
I know Burke was bad for Cristina but besides that I can’t really think of a reason to hate him. The best cast was season 5-8 btw.
Burke wasn’t really a character without Christina imo I didn’t hate the character but there was no reason to like him either 🤷🏻♂️
I was gonna be so happy when Burke and Cristina were going to get married cause it would be like the one relationship which didn't have endless problems. It really disappointed me when Burke left- it just felt totally out of character in the plotline. I feel like they could have made some obstacles in their relationship after they got married. It was just totally unexpected.
Too many characters died and the show lost its appeal.
Wow.... Sacrificing Arizona and April for Meredith..... I love Meredith, but Arizona and April were the spunk of the show. Now, there's absolutely zero spunk. Bring them back... Maggie just isn't cutting it for me.
Nana Banana I agree. I hate Maggie’s character! I have since day 1. She just doesn’t fit to me
April was shit ...
I only pray that Arizona, Callie, April and Addison come back at some point as recurring or regulars. And for the final episode of the series, Izzie and Cristina could return as well.
i miss the cast from like seasons 6 - 9. most of the best characters were in these seasons and although we now have some of the amazing characters like Amelia, Maggie, Link and etc, it just isn't the same without the original cast.
Yo! That’s all of main cast members that “left” the show...
Idk how I'm going to feel about s15 without Kepner and Arizona.. so many changes.. it's not the same show anymore.. 😔
I miss Addison and Mark still. :( They both were one of the best of the original cast for me.
Arizona and April being let go was WTF moment! They're my faves!!!
Lexie was my all time FAVORITE character and when she died, I died too 😂😂👏
Dane Weaver same! I watch season 1-15 over and over again, and her death is the only one that makes me sob like I watched it the first time, I cry with George too (who doesn’t?) but Lexie is like a proper sob. Planning on getting “mtb” (meant to be) tattooed on me somewhere, her last words😭😭💔💔
Nikky Candeias Honestly girl. DO IT!! I literally cannot put into words how I felt about the death of Lexie grey. But I really like Maggie pierce. And she prob wouldn’t be here without the death of Lexie. So idk. It would’ve been cool to see Lexie, Maggie, and Meredith like “iconic trio of sisters” or something tho
RIP DANE WEAVER
omg😭 when april and arizona left, i was heart broken 😭
Season 10 was when it all started going down hill..
Wonderful , detailed information on the cast of a great show whether they are past or present cast members.Very interesting to know something about each one and their lives.
Yeah...I'm a surgeon...but I really want to be a paramedic...right.
Yes...right..
Everyone is not the same! And he's not a paramedic. He's a fire fighter. People have dreams...support them
🤣🤣
Okay, now let’s be honest you can’t hold characters on a show against their will, and hiring backup actors that “look” like them would be a disgrace. Most of their exits were the only possible way they could’ve left without making y’all madder. It’s also a “DRAMA” show so stop getting mad every time something happens. Xd
noqturnaI smh I miss them but at the same time I understand why most of them couldn’t stay on the show longer.
SPOILER: However i’m pissed by the way they killed Derek because it made no sense at all!! He was on that road for hours with no phone reception and no cars driving by and suddenly he decides to stop his car in the middle of the road to pick up his phone and a car comes along and kills him????
noqturnaI smh The problem is we get so involved in a series it’s easy to forget it’s just a tv show and is not real.
@@insv9786 I know this is 3 months old but THANK YOU. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS. It makes no SENSE.
this is what i always tell people !! grey's is still a great show and it is what it is, a hospital drama . it's still very fun and interesting to watch if you're a real fan and a lot of the actors/actresses did amazing things on their own after leaving !
@@insv9786 He stopped because he wanted to see his wifes(Meradith) messages she sent him which he wasn't able to read because he was busy saving lives then, the truck came by and well
we need an updated version of this!!
I missed my favorite characters so much I started to rewatch the entire show from season 1. George, Derek, Mark, And Lexi’s death hurt me like I lost real family members.
Sarah and Jessica has iconic episodes that i will never forget in my life❤️
I’m a simple girl, i see Kate Walsh i click.
Chyler and Eric were the most heartbreaking deaths hands down. Dereks was sad but I started the series way late and knew it was gonna happen
i see A LOT of actors/ actresses wanted to leave the show.. I MISS ALL OF THE OLD CHARACTERS, IT'S NOT THE SAME ANYMOR!
Lexi and mark were one of the saddest deaths but I liked the way they left together. Dericks death still upsets me I was crying so much.
i LOVE greys anatomy but it’s just not the same anymore and i genuinely miss the old greys
What about Jerrika Hinton (Dr Stephanie Edwards)?
I forgot about them.
I will never be over the og characters leaving
I wasn't sad, seeing derek living/dieing. I didn't like where his Charakter went. My sadest leavings were lexi and callie!!
Florentine Bienhold Lexi for sure
He took far too much crap off Meredith, but that could've been corrected as well as other bad character writing defects
agreed, Derek's character became so reckless and it was hurting Meredith. plus his behavior behind the scenes was disgusting so i'm glad he's gone. and yeah Lexie's death was one of the saddest for me too :( at least she's acting in Supergirl which is a really great show!!
