edit: i’m just starting to watch greys ive heard different things about ellis before watching the show but from the various comments - yes ellis was a terrible mother and person. Before reading what she has done, i thought deep down she loved Mer and wanted best for her she just didn’t know how to love her, like she wasn’t ready to have her.

that woman deserved so much better it honestly kills me.

richard cheated on adele with ellis, despite adele being completely devoted to him.

adele spent years supporting richard’s career while he repeatedly put the hospital before their marriage.

despite everything she still forgave richard and gave him another chance considering everything he had done.

i feel that she deserved to feel like richard’s priority, not someone who always came second to his work.
she was incredibly patient and understanding with richard, but he didn’t always give her that same consideration.

her alzheimer’s diagnosis made everything even more heartbreaking because she was losing her memories and while adele was in a care home and increasingly vulnerable. she thought meredith was ellis and she had to go through the absolute heartbreak of richard cheating on her again in her mind.

richard and catherine becoming romantically involved while adele was still alive and still his wife makes it even more heartbreaking. adele was suffering from alzheimer’s and despite her “falling in love” with someone else while suffering from alzheimer’s never excused richard pursuing catherine.

richard blaming the care home staff for “neglecting” adele while he stopped visiting her at all and when the member of staff who said to richard that even though he said to limit his visits with adele he never said to stop them at all was soso deserved.

i know this has been said on here before but that woman deserved someone that’s would give her the heaven and the whole world and all richard gave her was hell.

like there's an actual song that i completely forgot about. (honestly only rewatching for addison montgomery)

I was recently rewatching Grey's and I started to realize just how unlikable Derek becomes with each rewatch... I watched Grey's for the first time in 2020 but in all these years revisiting the first seasons up to the 14th one I think, MY GODDDD was he unreasonable and terrible sometimes... am I crazy or?

MAGIC were a mess as interns too but I don't remember Meredith Cristina Izzie George or even Alex being this bad with actual patients.

The Dave face transplant episode is probably the best example. They're calling this man "Blowhole" and then making jokes about it RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Izzie literally has to tell one of them "Don't talk anymore. Ever." and somehow that still doesn't get through to them because they do it again later.

I also loved Izzie standing up for Lexie when Mark picked her for the surgery and the other interns immediately started saying she only got picked because she was sleeping with him. Izzie telling them to shut their mouths was so satisfying.

And I know the show even points out that MAGIC were a disaster too when they were interns. I'm not saying they were model interns. But there's something especially nasty about mocking a patient with a severely disfigured face while he's right there listening to you.

The only time I can remember one of MAGIC doing something similar was Alex in early Season 1 making fun of Annie Connors and calling her lazy for letting her tumor get that big. And Alex was deliberately written as an asshole at that point.

These interns were ridiculous. I have no idea how half of them even got into Seattle Grace and I was so glad whenever Izzie got sick of their shit.

And I was VERY glad we basically never had to see any of them again after Season 5. I did not miss them at all.

Now that Ben is back from Station 19, I'm really curious about what the plans are for his character. His future still seems undecided, especially by the end of Season 22, and I can't help wondering what the situation is behind the scenes.

Does anyone know what kind of contract Jason George has to come back as a regular After station 19 cancelation ? And does anyone know if he's particularly close to someone on the production team?

I'm also wondering if there's a reason the writers seem so reluctant to make a clear decision about Ben's future. Is it simply because they really like working with the actor and want to keep the option of having him around, even if they don't have a long-term storyline planned for him?

I’m rewatching greys and just reached the episode where Meredith and George sleep together and why was Mere made out to be the bad guy??? It didn’t sit right with me the first time I watched it and it isn’t now either. Imo George was just playing the victim card because his fantasy didn’t play out like he wanted. Mere clearly had a mental breakdown and instead of asking her (the person he supposedly loved) if she was okay, he assumed stuff and said “Sleeping with me, is it really that awful for you?” like why does this give Bear from the movie Obsession vibes😭😭😭??? Also the fact that no one really stood up for Meredith really pmo.

Ps: there’s people out there that claim that George r*ped Meredith and I don’t really agree with that but I definitely am not siding with George on this.

Every time I watch “Before and After” I always find the whole thing with Addison’s friends reminiscing about her and Derek disrespectful to Derek and Meredith's relationship.

Naomi brings up the song Derek wrote for Addison and talks about how she thought they were going to last forever. Then later Naomi and Archer start singing the song while Meredith is in the room. And Mark and Addison barely even try to stop them which makes the whole thing even more awkward.

Then at Joe’s, Sam, Naomi and Mark start singing that stupid song AGAIN and Addison and Derek eventually join in.

Obviously these people knew Derek and Addison when they were married and have years of history with them, so it makes sense that they’d reminisce. But doing it around Meredith when she and Derek are in a serious relationship just feels weird. Especially since Derek is at the point where he’s planning on proposing to her.

Haley from One Tree Hill plays Paul Stadler's fiance!!! and Scottie from Suits plays Megan Hunt! I get excited when I see people I know 😭 I just remembered Peyton from One Tree Hill played the woman Arizona cheated on Callie with

I'm mostly going in chronological order, so if you're not up to date, there are spoilers at the end.

Let's see if I can do this off the top of my head:

William George Bailey Jones - Tucker and Bailey's son - I like his name with the nickname Tuck. I thought it was sweet for her to name the middle after George.

Zola Grey Shepherd - She came with the name, but I think it's cute and fits her. I never liked the zo zo nickname, especially as she got older.

Sofia Robinson Sloan Torres - or whatever the order is - Her mom's are named Arizona and Calliope and no shade against the name Sofia, it's a pretty name, it's literally a top 10 super common name. Maybe they wanted that after growing up with unusual names but I really was expecting them to pick something more unique for her.

Derek Bailey Grey Shepherd - It was cute when Bailey named her son George, but now for Derek and Meredith to do it just seemed repetitive. I also wish they would have given him a different first name.

Ellis Grey Shepherd - A lot of recent posts about how Ellis was such a bad mom. I've always questioned why Meredith would have named her daughter after her mom. I saw this as a missed opportunity to tie Derek back in - a name that he loved for a daughter type thing.

Samuel Kepner Avery - one of the best picks just because of the whole story and meaning of the name.

Harriet Kepner Avery and Ruby (Matthew's daughter) - putting these together as same comments - pretty names, but I would have expected that April and Matthew would have gone more religious names. Matthew's daughter being more obvious; April and Jackson's more subtle.

Alexis and Eli - Alex and Izzie's - I do think the names are cute, but found it a bit shady for Izzie to name her daughter after Alex and not even tell him that she had his kids. I did see a comment though that Izzie would have named her son George, but I suspect his middle name probably is George.

Luna Wilson - Like Zola, came with the name, but I love that Jo decided to keep it. She didn't have to and thought it was sweet she did. Luna is my cat's name so to me it's in the animal name category, but I do think it works.

Scout Lincoln - Scout is on my guilty pleasure baby name list. A name I secretly love but would never use. It works for them - matches Amelia's quirky personality and a nod towards Atticus (Linc's first name)

Leo Hunt - Another kid that came with a name. It's a cute name, was on my baby name list so I'm partial to it. My guess is they didn't know Leo's storyline when they named him, but if they did, I kind of wish they gave him a gender neutral name.

Allison Hunt - Nothing wrong with the name, just wish Teddy would have been more honest with where she got the name from.

Peyton and Hattie Lincoln - Start with Hattie; this is a common nickname for Harriet, I think it's an odd choice. It's cute but why that name? Peyton, also cute. I think Peyton first better with Scout and Luna; I do like they didn't do matchy twin names but wish they went a little more unique with them.

Ok that's all I can remember, let me know if I missed one - agree? disagree? what are your thoughts on names?

I’ve loved Grey’s anatomy for years and years now, I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched the show and I picked it back up today out of nowhere on season 5. I recently got diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety and possible OCBPD, and everything is basically falling apart. I was trying to keep myself busy and playing episodes in the back when I realized how hard the endings of episodes and the quotes hit.

Is it just me or does anyone else have that as well??

Recently have become greys obsessed! I’m realizing I like medical shows but this one is hands down my favorite because of all the characters. Anyone have any book recommendations that I’d like if I like greys anatomy? I live a good series - the more time for character development the better. Thanks!
