Grey’s Anatomy

Grey ’s Anatomyhas produced some of idiot box ’s good loved characters over the 15 yr it ’s been on gentle wind . Although the series preponderantly follows the life-time of its fictional namesake , Meredith Grey , many other characters have also been given the prospect to shine , and some have even become fan - pet in their own right .

However , there have also been other eccentric on the show who had a relatively bumpy start . For whatever rationality , sometimes new addition to the independent cast just would n’t click with the viewers , at least not initially . Fortunately , awful character development help them to become just as pop as Meredith or Cristina Yang .

Miranda Bailey

So , one might be wondering whether we ’re sore including the wonderfully beloved Miranda Bailey on this list of improvedGrey’scharacters . Indeed , Bailey has been on the show since the very beginning and has been utterly lovable for almost as long . However ,   in Season 1 ofGrey’s , Bailey was seriously scarey .

That ’s not to say that that ’s a bad thing , as Bailey has had some unnerving moments afterward on as well , but this was before we knew that she had a soft side . Remember that Bailey once start out ignoring Meredith because she discovered that she was sleep with Derek Shepherd . This was almost petty .

Lexie Grey

When Meredith ’s half - sister first appear on the medical drama , viewers were completely shocked . It was a massive reveal , helped further by the knowledge that Lexie would soon be working at Seattle Grace Hospital as one of the new surgical interns . However , Lexie also proved to be slimly annoying .

She think well and she was clearly a nice character but she was so desperate for his sister ’s approval that it hindered her character development . Fortunately , once Meredith accepted her into her living , Lexie oversee to cool down out a mo and when she pall in the Season 8 finish , there was n’t a wry eye in the theatre .

Callie Torres

Callie Torres was part of the chief roll for 11 seasons and she was also one ofGrey ’s Anatomy’smost groundbreaking characters , as she was the first principal LGBTQ+ character on the series . Her relationship with Arizona Robbins was in particular endearing . However , Callie was n’t always so well liked .

When Callie made her debut halfway through Season 2 , she and George O’Malley seemed to hit it off . The latter was recovering from being brutally rejected by Meredith and Callie help oneself to occupy that void . Unfortunately , George was n’t very committed , which made Callie appear necessitous and desperate .

Alex Karev

It ’s hard to imagine that a character so well loved by almost all of the fandom started off on the show as a misogynistic , chesty , young man who was the precise definition of toxic masculinity . niggling did anyone know , though , that Alex had already had to deal with a mint of awfulness in his lifespan before his abidance .

Although portrayed as a jerk for the first half of Season 1 , Alex began to slowly open up to his colleagues , developing a friendship with Meredith and a bud romanticism with Izzy Stevens . He most definitely had his moments but Alex at last carry off to stimulate off his surly , bad boy frontal in favor for a loving husband .

George O’Malley

George was improbably cherubic and stay so for the entirety of his Grey ’s Anatomy run . However , he ab initio appeared to be a bit of a joke to the other interns , with Christina christen him ' Bambi ' and Alex giving him the eonian byname ' 007 ' . His unrequited infatuation on Meredith did n’t help topic either .

George ’s job was that he lacked confidence . Thankfully , the opportunity to prove himself came around when he operated on a patient role while trapped in an elevator , economise their life and earn the esteem of the entire infirmary faculty . He still had a way to go but he was n’t Bailey ’s favorite resident for nothing .

Mark Sloan

When Mark Sloan first walk through the doors of Seattle Grace Hospital , it was n’t to a specially warm welcome . He was Derek ’s ex-wife honorable friend who had slumber with his wife , Addison Montgomery . It turned out that Mark was a serial philanderer , or , as Dr Bailey so compactly put it , he was a ' man fancy woman ' .

After that awing spoken communication , Mark resolve to seek and alter his agency . He patch thing up with Derek , and their bromance was pure Heaven . He also convey into a relationship with Lexie Grey , who remain one ofGrey ’s Anatomy ’s upright ever couple to this daylight . His friendly relationship with Callie was also adorably hot .

Levi Schmidt

Every individual batch of interns since the original five have been socially awkward and initially unskilled . While we do n’t anticipate interne to be amazing sawbones from the off , it ’s disdainful to insinuate that they have no social science whatsoever and are perpetually clumsy . unhappily , Levi Schmidt was no exception .

gratefully , despite being incredibly annoying at first , Levi became more and more surefooted in himself and his own abilities . The main cause for this modification in personality was Levi come out as homo , which was excellently done and very emotionally hearty . He even ditched his glasses in favor of contacts .

Amelia Shepherd

Amelia Shepherdis a singular fibre , as although she ’s been part of theGrey ’s Anatomyuniverse for a recollective time now , she first bug out off as a independent character on the twirl offPrivate Practice , before move to the main show in Season 10 . rooter have criticize the character in the yesteryear , though , for acting irrationally .

In fairness , when Amelia and Owen first protrude dating , Amelia could n’t make up her idea as to whether she truly loved Owen , which lead to several unneeded break ups . However , Amelia has ameliorate so much since then , what with the remotion of a mastermind neoplasm , and her caring for Betty and Leo .

Jo Karev

Jo Karev(formerly Wilson ) was yet another intern who was initially nettle to viewers . She cry a lot when she got things haywire , or when one of her bosses severalize her off , despite her claiming that this was unusual behaviour for her . Her   green-eyed monster of Stephanie Edwards also made her seem shallow and piddling .

However , Jo persisted and slowly , she became a much just soul and graphic symbol , and has even earned Meredith Grey ’s friendship , which is a massive achievement considering that Meredith could n’t put up her at one item . Jo has also become an splendid surgeon and has overcome many tragedy in her life-time .

April Kepner

When April first appeared inGrey ’s Anatomy , she was quite possibly the most annoying fiber ever see on the series . Even Lexie Grey could n’t stand her at first . Everything about her just screamed irritating , from her obsessive personality , to her utter devotion to the then Chief of Surgery .

It ’s fair to say that April was not well liked . However , after the deaths of her friends , April made an effort to get along with her peers , which included not ratting them out to their foreman . April ’s religious opinion also total into gaming , highlighting her devotion to God and making her more charitable to the viewers .
