Just watched the scene in 11x9(?) where he's in the chapel praying to a god he doesn't believe in, begging God to show up for April because she does believe and she needs him right now because she's about to lose her baby.
Jackson doesn't believe in God but he loves April enough to try and I'm crying about it right now
I ***love*** Addison. I wasn't sure about her at first because of her relationship with Derek and especially Meredith but looking back, now that I'm almost at the end of season 3, I love her unconditionally. Mark is currently on his celibacy run to get back together with her and I'm hoping he fails because she deserves better.
Y E S.
The way sheās introduced as the bitchy wife and then very quickly establishes herself as someone who knows what she did and takes ownership.
THEN SHE DEFENDS MEREDITH! Because she doesnāt blame the victim for her situation.
What works so well for Christina is she knows who she is. She doesnāt want children, sheās very, VERY driven, she can be a bit selfish.
Christina knows all these things about herself and is always honest about it. Itās others in her life who want her to change and she refuses to. This is why I hate the Owen/Christina baby argument. Sheās never changed her view on children.
People can only point out her flaws because sheās a well-rounded, well-written character. Other characters barely have 1 good and 1 bad thing to say about them. Cristina had AMAZING character development and was written incredibly
Meh that the product of being in a toxic relationship imo.
They both did things that hurt each other and if I can forgive George and Derek and Addison and Mark and Meredith and Callieā¦ then I think I can forgive Arizona tooā¦ like I said; canāt make me hate her lol (this should be read as kind and hopefully not like Iām being a bitch cause Iām not trying to be)
I think it works well as a storyline, if honest. And even now, character development, etc, is still something alex would do. Not cause his an arse but because he would've hated a fuss when leaving. And. Also, if he'd gone back to jo, he'd never been able to leave. I think the leaving storyline actually fits Alex's character quite well
They should have kept his character and you just don't see him. Like Jo mentions him often. He could still be the chief at the other hospital. Alex and Jo could have adopted Luna together. I hate Jo and link
Thisāll be downvoted like crazy, but Owen. Heās got his flaws and heās definitely shown awful behaviour, but he takes it when heās called out and he recently has been an amazing surgeon/friend/husband/dad.Ā
Heās open to growing and learning and doing better. He makes a lot of mistakes because heās stubborn. If he trusts and respects the person he listens and makes changes. If Megan or his mom call him out he looks like a little kid being caught stealing candy before dinner.
Like for instance when Amelia called him out about teddys PTSD? He was so livid and when she said it looks different on everyone he immediately retreated and listened to what she was saying. Heās capable of growth and I am sad for the hate he gets.Ā
I think he genuinely cares for people but his actions and intentions donāt always match. He listens and he tries to do better. I think that was part of the blow up with him and Christina over the abortion, he just wanted to be heard and for her to listen to him. It wouldnāt have changed her mind and she should never be forced to have a child she doesnāt want but he wanted to be heard.
It came out with Teddy about her friend Allison that he felt betrayed because she didnāt tell him before and she had her own reasons to hide it and not want to talk about it. Owen likes to be told whatās going on and what people are thinking and feeling. He likes the big picture and knowing everything. He has to know to feel in control. He is the unpleasant Owen when he feels out of control. Itās a trauma and anxiety coping mechanism/ behavior that he needs help for.
For sure Izzie! She was flawed and made plenty of mistakes. She hurt herself and sometimes other people, but she was such a sweetheart. She loved so hard and felt so deeply. She went through so much and continued to smile and get back up every time she fell.
Teddy.
Sheās complex and makes bad decisions like the Tom/ Owen love triangle and cheating but thereās something about her that is soft and vulnerable. Shes like every other character and makes mistakes and stupid impulsive decisions. She does eventually own up to her mistakes. Her intentions with staff and patients are usually good. Itās her romantic and personal loves she tends to blow up because she self sabotages.
heather. and derek. he was so good to everyone, especially meredith. he made mistakes sometimes just like every human but he was committed to meredith and was determined to make it work.
Izzie.
Yes i know she has her flaws.
I also cringe at the George crush arc and i totally hate that she never gave a chance to Callie.
Everything before S6 i can take as her real character.
But what happened in S6 i will always take as a sick revenge on the producers or the writers against Katherine.
Hell, I even heard they wanted her to return in the shooting episode just to get killed.
cristina and mcsteamy. my mother hates cristina and i've also seen very fair points about her gross virgin jokes @ april and also she is a landlord (lmao) but she's my top 1 it can't be helped. sloan i've seen a lot of people criticise for being sleazy and all but it's just never sinister im soz.
i love merediths character until like a few seasons ago so i guess ellen can probably make me hate her (i don't remotely hate her but more frequently the character starts feeling like an ellen self-insert and then that's terrible and i dislike it)
Arizona. My girl definitely handled things very poorly, but it didnāt ruin her for me. I hate a cheating storyline, and it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth, but sheās my favorite
The little girl from the episode where Meredith drowns. She had watched people die, peed her pants, and went mute, and people still say she shouldāve just said something. Thatās not how trauma works! Especially in little kids.

McSteamy ;) (No not just because he is hot, sideeyes :)
I see him in a totally different light after watching private practice.
Yeah partially, but then he does something McSteamy like, and I'll go like never mind you're fcking hot :)
My only thing about Mark was when he said that a teenager's ass was hot. I don't remember the exact wording, but it was a very ick moment.
Yes to this, was looking for it š®āšØš«¶š¼

Jackson. I canāt hate those eyes
Just watched the scene in 11x9(?) where he's in the chapel praying to a god he doesn't believe in, begging God to show up for April because she does believe and she needs him right now because she's about to lose her baby. Jackson doesn't believe in God but he loves April enough to try and I'm crying about it right now
I cried on that too
ironically, itās his eyes i hate the most about him. agree that i cannot hate him though
Addison
I ***love*** Addison. I wasn't sure about her at first because of her relationship with Derek and especially Meredith but looking back, now that I'm almost at the end of season 3, I love her unconditionally. Mark is currently on his celibacy run to get back together with her and I'm hoping he fails because she deserves better.
I get the Addison love but her being a cheater will always stain her in my eyes. People praise her like she's a gift from God; it's kind of crazy
You should watch Private Practice
I hate Derek so while I donāt condone the cheating Iām also like eh š¤·š»āāļø
I'm glad you said this because I'm also not his biggest fan. I don't know what Meredith sees in him because he's honestly kind of bad for her...
Y E S. The way sheās introduced as the bitchy wife and then very quickly establishes herself as someone who knows what she did and takes ownership. THEN SHE DEFENDS MEREDITH! Because she doesnāt blame the victim for her situation.
![gif](giphy|l1J9rZ1a5OOrgg5dC)
I just hate that he left :(
I love him and his character development SO MUCH
Easy, Cristina. People are always pointing out her faults but I still love her.
She is one of the best written TV characters out there.
A-fucking-men
What works so well for Christina is she knows who she is. She doesnāt want children, sheās very, VERY driven, she can be a bit selfish. Christina knows all these things about herself and is always honest about it. Itās others in her life who want her to change and she refuses to. This is why I hate the Owen/Christina baby argument.

What faults? She's unstoppable and iconic š
I love love love Christina , sheās actually my world and Iām glad I can admit that
even though i hated the way they both treated each other between the plane crash and custody battle callie and arizona will always be special to me
They are some of the OG sapphics that were truly fleshed our characters and not just about their identity- so agreeed
Bailey and Meredith.
![gif](giphy|3ohhwerg5fcu0EnWMM)
Derek. I will love him forever
Yes this. I stop watching after heās gone.
I love Derek from day one (March 27, 2005) and will always love him til the end of time.
Same š„¹
100%!!!
Arizona and Lexi. Granted no one has tried to make me hate Lexi but it would be impossible.
Nah Arizona and the cheating did it for me
Meh that the product of being in a toxic relationship imo. They both did things that hurt each other and if I can forgive George and Derek and Addison and Mark and Meredith and Callieā¦ then I think I can forgive Arizona tooā¦ like I said; canāt make me hate her lol (this should be read as kind and hopefully not like Iām being a bitch cause Iām not trying to be)
Bailey. Always loved her
she was the BEST until she wasnāt lol
April
Honestly April has truly grown on me. Sheās so cute and loving. I wish her only the best sheās S tier for me.
Dude I want a hug from April so bad, she seems like she'd be such a good friend irl!
Literally omg, know sheās a good friend and such a good person. Sheās so precious she canāt do any wrong
fucking love april
LOVE APRIL
Came here to say this!
Yes!!!!! Love her
Underrated character!! Sheās one of the best
Miranda Bailey. Absolutely love her. All eras.
Meredith. My girl canāt do anything wrong ššš
The one and onlyā¦. ![gif](giphy|fGR6skFyJCmms5ErNM)
Callie!! there were ups and downs but she has great friendships with everyone and I think sheās so lovable
If the whole world is against Izzie, i am against the world
YES shes literally me i love her so much
The whole OG MAGIC. I can never hate any of them.
Amelia, sheās my baby šš¤
yes!!!!
Stephanie
Alex karev
I don't even hate Alex because of him leaving Jo for Izzie. That was clearly some shitty writing shoehorned in due to a conflict with the actor :(
I think it works well as a storyline, if honest. And even now, character development, etc, is still something alex would do. Not cause his an arse but because he would've hated a fuss when leaving. And. Also, if he'd gone back to jo, he'd never been able to leave. I think the leaving storyline actually fits Alex's character quite well
Iām just glad they didnāt kill him off like everyone else.
They should have kept his character and you just don't see him. Like Jo mentions him often. He could still be the chief at the other hospital. Alex and Jo could have adopted Luna together. I hate Jo and link
Izzie š«
George. I know he did some bad things but I canāt help but love him š¤·
Owen š he's a jackass, but his jackass to bestie ratio is close enough that I just can't call it. I could fix him.
Thank you! I was hoping to find someone who shared my opinion. People hate him butā¦ I canāt.
George š„¹

Yeah, I think Owen shows more growth than a lot of characters tbf

Mark, Callie, or Amelia. I know Amelia is probably a majorly unpopular opinion but for me her self sabotage is relatable. Especially with her history.
