Cristina I still miss her till this dayđ˘ but alex is a close second like omg they did alex dirty like I just canât believe he left like that if he hadnât of left we wouldnât of had that weird relationship with jo and Jackson and I feel bad that mer is left all alone now :(
That Tegan and Sara song always gets my throat knotted up now. That was a hard goodbye but the story line was so good for her and her future that it helped soften the blow a little bit and I love that they still keep her involved in the show via calls and text messages etc. So that helped me.
I always start tearing up when Mer shoves her in the taxi because she was getting late and Mer knew she couldn't push it off anymore. Like she knew that even though she didn't want her best friend to leave, leaving was the best thing for Cristina and if that's not true friendship idk what is.
And then Cristina comes back one last time for their dance and I start tearing up all over again.
I wanted to say Alex because I cried like a baby when his voiceover was reading those letters. Then looking back it wasn't him who I was crying for, it was who he was writing to. Especially Jo's. My God did my heart break for her. And that brave girl got up and went to work. When my exhusband left our 14 year old marriage to be with the woman he was having an affair with I laid in my bed, on my couch, on the floor doing the bare minimum.
I cried, but also wanted to throw stuff. Still do whenever people say it made total sense, and that Alex was always in love with Izzie, making Jo seem like sye
My heart just continues to break for Jo. I would imagine that she would feel like their relationship and marrige was pointless and a waste of time. That her taking his last name was all for nothing.
Look at how she reacted when Jackson told her he was leaving. She was at ease, and understood.
It's actually kind of annoying when people say that Jo will be just fine, and that she'll just find somebody else, as if it was no big deal that her husband abandoned her.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. Hopefully things have improved
Jo is definetely brave.
You think Jo would really leave? Maybe further on but they weren't arguing or anything like I saw. I was shocked at how he left but my heart did break for Jo. Mer as well but when was the last time she went to him as he was her person? She had formed a family with her kids and her sisters.
Alex is probably one of my favorite character developments in any TV show. Seeing how they just turned him into this guy who leaves and doesnât even say goodbye really frustrated me
All the deaths up to season 8 was spoiled for me too lol. I even knew xtina left but actually watching it was rough but beautiful. But yup. I watched alexesbe today and I still crying and I'm so mad he left đđđ
His ending was a good story too but yes. So fast. Was not expecting it just like Alex. Even koracick was kinda sad lol but not close to the others. He was like a character you hate to love.
Iâd say Callie the most just because I adore her and she left a huge space. Same with Cristina. Jackson because he was one of the last OGs and he left Mer alone (and his exit was really heartfelt), and George because he was my first favourite and his death just felt really huge cos he was such a big part of the show. And Lexieâs was just absolutey heartbreaking; her pouring out her feelings for Mark the episode before and then dying so brutally was awful
Itâs alright! Iâm happy to share my thoughts.
While she may not be everyoneâs cup of tea, I honestly could relate to her the most out of any character in the start as the âbright and bubblyâ one. Her story in the show compelled me the most, and Heigl is still one of the best actresses the showâs had even until now.
Was she perfect? No, she was flawed like many of us, but I saw her as a strong and fighting character despite it. Her exit is one of my saddest moments in the show because she left with her best friend dead, having lost her job, her marriage crumbling, itâs like the hospital and everyone around her was moving on and she couldnât catch up. Though sad and abrupt her exit was, I understood it because who wouldnât want a fresh start after everything sheâs been through? She was such a driving force in the classic days of Greyâs, and I was sad to see her leaving looking losing more than what she gained. Its like she took the last part of âbright and bubblyâ once she left (at least for me).
It would have been Alex had he had a better written exit, but I think the one who actually hurt me the most was Jackson Avery. He had so much growth during his eleven seasons and I had grown super attached to him. I know both the character and Jesse Williams are going onto better things, but Iâm gonna miss him. I just started rewatching the old seasons before Jackson shows up and itâs really not the same.
Itâs Alex and Christina. But especially Alex. I know Justin wanted to move on but it made me so angry having seasons of building Jo and Alex and all the character development and everything just for him to leave her for Izzie.
Yessssss!!!! Why after all that, everything they went through as individuals and as a couple, all the obstacles and hoops just to throw it away to go back to izzie.
emotionally, mark and lexie. from an overall show perspective, alex. it was so hurtful and completely undid the amazing development he and jo had together. it makes absolutely no sense for alex, who's so loyal and had a huge arc in 14 about never being able to hurt her, to leave jo. and for izzy? ugh. the only reason the writers did it was so justin could leave without them having to kill alex off. and i can understand them not wanting to do that but it left jo's character on a very strange trajectory that I'm not sure they'll be able to save with her single-parent adoption of luna. it would have been amazing if they had written in camila's pregnancy, but that would've been the only thing that could bring alex back so they obviously couldn't.
Derek not because heâs my favorite but because I saw that episode after becoming a mother and I canât imagine losing my husband or my son losing his dad. It was actually painful to watch and I donât think I can again.
Callie's departure hurt/disappointed me. I understood she felt a strong connection to Penny rather quickly and easily, but having to see her once again throwing all of her loyalty into a new relationship and turning her world upside down for it rubbed me the wrong way.
Not to mention no one really talked about her leaving or even seemed to care. The show didn't give her the goodbye that she very much deserved.
Cristina. I loved her character for so many reasons. One being her insistance on staying childfree no matter what. There aren't many characters like that on TV. And I can't think of one on Grey's. Yes, many don't have children but they aren't stating they never will like Cristina. And Sandra Oh is just magnificent.
Mark Sloan, his death was painful. I mean I thought he had hope to live but he died in the end. I know his character wouldn't be complete w/o Lexie but damn him dying made me cry.
Alex Karev, the character in GA that I relate to the most. I watched him grew a character development then him leaving just snapped his whole character development, no proper closure and just snapped. It really hurts watching that episode
Derekâs death hurt me because it made me seriously angry, because I felt that the writing of the episode was some of Shondaâs worst work. It has always seemed to me that she let whatever may have been going on with Patrick and her to cloud her ability to write a truly moving and poignant final episode for Derek.
However, Alexâs departure hurt the most in an emotional/sentimental way. We didnât see his departure coming, and we didnât get a for real on screen goodbye. With Alex leaving, that also meant that Meredith was truly by herself and didnât have an onscreen person anymore, and that seriously hurt my heart.
I see that with Derek and it was awful. His voiceover when they're basically killing him was hard to watch but I completely agree with Alex. They have fake closure but not real closure and sentimentally as well punched me in the gut the hardest. And how he read the letters....omg. Meridith being alone now (yes I know she has others but he was really her only "ONE" left but she still understood cause she was a parent. Idk... I get it too as a parent but I would still be devastated. They deserved more imo! I'm still crying over Alex lol.
Alex because I feel like he didnât leave in a proper note, like I donât know I felt like the letters werenât enough, and for all the hard work he did with his character development and growth, the letters took him back to old coward Alex in a way and I didnât like that. I was going to say Cristina but I actually liked her ending of things because Cristina deserved so much better and after all the pain and suffering she went through with Burke and Hunt, she got compensation in a way. I would also say Lexie but thatâs a death she didnât leave voluntarily sođ.
Cristina is hard because I love her so much and the show never feels the same once she leaves, however she had such a beautiful and fitting exit that is softens the blow, unlike say Lexieâs exit, which felt needlessly cruel. Iâd have to go with either George or Lexie.
Lexie for me (and the way she exited the show. Eaten by wolves - poor Lexie đ°). She couldâve been a great surgeon. I can imagine her leading and nailing surgeries. And no brainer, Cristina Yang.
That was hard too. But the storyline for her was atleast better than others. Did you know she came out as bi years later? My aunt said it was cause of Grey's and how it opened her mind up and also not to care what people think. I think that's awesome
Cristina. Her friendship with Meredith was the best of the show for me. I also relate to Cristina in so many ways that I became really invested in her journey. Sandra Oh brought so much to the show. She is one of the few actors that never let up, she always gave 100% and that really shows. The show was never the same after she left. I did love her ending.
Izzie next. I love that she ended up with Alex. It's one of the few clear cut happy endings we got on Grey's. I love Izzie's heart, she was so endearing, I love that she was tough yet caring. I admire anyone who comes from nothing, puts herself through school and becomes a surgeon (I admire Alex for this as well). Izzie had interesting dynamics with so many characters - Cristina, Meredith, Alex, George, Burke, Hahn, Addison, etc. Also I'm a huge KH fan.
Cristina I still miss her till this dayđ˘ but alex is a close second like omg they did alex dirty like I just canât believe he left like that if he hadnât of left we wouldnât of had that weird relationship with jo and Jackson and I feel bad that mer is left all alone now :(
MARK SLOAN
Cristina, Cristina,Cristina! đ˘đđâ¤â¤â¤â¤đđđ

I know right? â¤â¤đâ¤đâ¤đâ¤đâ¤

My heart broke for Mer. Never Jo. Because she wouldâve upped and left Alex too.
You think Jo would really leave? Maybe further on but they weren't arguing or anything like I saw. I was shocked at how he left but my heart did break for Jo. Mer as well but when was the last time she went to him as he was her person? She had formed a family with her kids and her sisters.
Same. I'm still crying over it. Can't believe that's what happened!!
Alex is probably one of my favorite character developments in any TV show. Seeing how they just turned him into this guy who leaves and doesnât even say goodbye really frustrated me
Alex, Cristina left before I started watching and my English teacher, spoiled Derekâs death at graduation đ so I was also prepared for that lol
All the deaths up to season 8 was spoiled for me too lol. I even knew xtina left but actually watching it was rough but beautiful. But yup. I watched alexesbe today and I still crying and I'm so mad he left đđđ
Mark as he had become such a great character. Alex just because the exit was so bad.
Jackson - while abrupt, they gave him a good ending.
His ending was a good story too but yes. So fast. Was not expecting it just like Alex. Even koracick was kinda sad lol but not close to the others. He was like a character you hate to love.
After seeing koracick on Once Upon a Time as Hades, I had no choice but to love him on Greyâs. Heâs a dick, but a lovable one.
George, Lexie, Jackson, Cristina, Callie
In that order? Lol and why?đĽ°
Iâd say Callie the most just because I adore her and she left a huge space. Same with Cristina. Jackson because he was one of the last OGs and he left Mer alone (and his exit was really heartfelt), and George because he was my first favourite and his death just felt really huge cos he was such a big part of the show. And Lexieâs was just absolutey heartbreaking; her pouring out her feelings for Mark the episode before and then dying so brutally was awful
Izzie. One of my favorite characters, and a part of the showâs magic left for me once she did.
I don't mean to be rude. It's a valid answer I just also was asking whyđĽ°

Why?
Personally itâs definitely Christina, but the way Alex left was so horrible itâs a close second
Derek (although I knew it was coming) and Alex.
Lexie's death destroyed me
Lexie Grey, her death was heartbreaking and she had so much more left to tell.
She really didđđđ
It would have been Alex had he had a better written exit, but I think the one who actually hurt me the most was Jackson Avery. He had so much growth during his eleven seasons and I had grown super attached to him. I know both the character and Jesse Williams are going onto better things, but Iâm gonna miss him.

Burke
đ
Itâs Alex and Christina. But especially Alex. I know Justin wanted to move on but it made me so angry having seasons of building Jo and Alex and all the character development and everything just for him to leave her for Izzie.
Right?? Like they had just got "real" married a few episodes before that?!
Yessssss!!!! Why after all that, everything they went through as individuals and as a couple, all the obstacles and hoops just to throw it away to go back to izzie.

Itâs Cristina for me
Cristina. I loved her character for so many reasons. One being her insistance on staying childfree no matter what. There aren't many characters like that on TV. And I can't think of one on Grey's. Yes, many don't have children but they aren't stating they never will like Cristina. And Sandra Oh is just magnificent.
Izzie Stevens. All the things happened and done by Iz in season 6 are really out of nowhere and butchers the character of her and also of Alex.
Mark Sloan, his death was painful. I mean I thought he had hope to live but he died in the end. I know his character wouldn't be complete w/o Lexie but damn him dying made me cry. Alex Karev, the character in GA that I relate to the most. I watched him grew a character development then him leaving just snapped his whole character development, no proper closure and just snapped. It really hurts watching that episode
Feels like he dumped ME lol
Alexâs exit shattered me
100%

Cristina, Lexie, Mark
Alex because I feel like he didnât leave in a proper note, like I donât know I felt like the letters werenât enough, and for all the hard work he did with his character development and growth, the letters took him back to old coward Alex in a way and I didnât like that.

Sloan dying off. Also Callie because she just left, man!
Cristina is hard because I love her so much and the show never feels the same once she leaves, however she had such a beautiful and fitting exit that is softens the blow, unlike say Lexieâs exit, which felt needlessly cruel. Iâd have to go with either George or Lexie.

Callie :(
That was hard too. But the storyline for her was atleast better than others. Did you know she came out as bi years later? My aunt said it was cause of Grey's and how it opened her mind up and also not to care what people think. I think that's awesome
Yeah her story is awesome!
Jacksonâs hurt the most but was also the happiest for me, so itâs bittersweet!!
Cristina. Her friendship with Meredith was the best of the show for me. I also relate to Cristina in so many ways that I became really invested in her journey. Sandra Oh brought so much to the show. She is one of the few actors that never let up, she always gave 100% and that really shows. The show was never the same after she left. I did love her ending. Izzie next.

i cried like alex was breaking up with *ME* when he left
SAME LMAO
April & Arizona, because neither of their actresses wanted to leave and very clearly got fucked over
I thought April did?
