Grey’s Anatomy
For what seemed like the retentive time , Patrick Dempsey ’s role was constantly considered one of the best parts ofGrey ’s Anatomyby so many fans . McDreamy became more of a phenomenon than a bare type , and he was talk about on multiple outlets and show outside ofGrey’s- let in Oprah .
Yes , McDreamy and his slightly darker foster chum , McSteamy , were certainly famous turning point inGrey ’s Anatomyhistory . The bombination that surrounded them has pass away down since their own death on the show , but all the love for McDreamy subsist on in fan ' memories .
fallible characters are often treated as though they are perfect when there is no such thing as a perfect person , nor a complete fiber . Derek Shepherd was idealized so much throughout his metre on the show , and countless sports fan considered him to be a " ambition married man " .
The fact that Derek was so revered and beloved is in reality somewhat of an anomaly , though . McDreamy prove several times that while he was for certain attractive and had an undeniable charm , he was in reality anything but moony . Let ’s explore 10 example in which this was emphasized .
10. WHEN HE HID A MAJOR PART OF HIS LIFE FROM MEREDITH
Meredith ’s romanticism with Derek began as a fling , and after a full Cupid’s itch ofGrey’sdrama , it move on into a committed , serious relationship . Meredith is known for being someone who rarely ever let her guard down and rely people , and this especially ring genuine in earlier season .
The fact that Meredith ’s struggles in life make her to be tentative when open up up to people , make what Derek did to her in the early stages of their kinship all the more heartbreaking . Addison present up at Seattle Grace in the time of year 1 finale ofGrey ’s , and thus began the plot line in which Derek never told Meredith about basically the entire life he left behind in New York .
9. WHEN HE GOT COMPETITIVE
Competitiveness is , of course , a trait that many surgeons have , as they work in an extremely free-enterprise , cutthroat field . The surgeons ' need to excel and do well than one another come between several characters on multiple juncture . Competitiveness even presented a huge breach between Meredith and Cristina in season 9 .
But competitiveness appear in particular sorry on Derek . Not only was he private-enterprise with fellow attendings such as Burke and Webber , but he was also not above trying to upgrade his career over Meredith ’s .
8. THE WAY HE TREATED ADDISON
Almost always , when the whole love trigon between Mark , Addison , and Derek is talked about , Addison is presented as the villain . The storyline puts everyone in a spoilt light , and Addison did not merit to shoulder all of the inculpation .
The fact that Addison came between Derek and Meredith often distracts from the fact that Derek care for Addison dreadfully when they know in New York , and then he carry on to deal her dreadfully after choosing her after Meredith , which is pretty scummy .
7. THE ENTIRE ROSE STORYLINE
Meredith was portrayed as someone who had worry committing to relationship for several season . sure enough , she has issues and every understanding to be hesitant when dive into a romance with Derek , but the fact that Derek ’s hesitation to commit is so often overlooked , is almost hilarious .
Derek contract angry at Meredith for not wanting to commit to a kinship with him ( after he promptly chose Addison over her ) and then immediately strikes up a love affair with his longterm scrub nurse , Rose . This hypocritical move is not brought up closely enough .
6. WHEN HE TOOK FULL CREDIT FOR THE CLINICAL TRIAL
Meredith and Derek ’s clinical trial for fighting head tumour is a rather famous storyline in the show . After several failed attempts and lose patient role , the surgeons have the best the style of tragedy and care to save a young young woman ’s life with their treatment .
The trial ended up being a success , but it would n’t have been that way if it were n’t for Meredith . She may have only been a second - year resident at the time , but she fought for the test and supported Derek when no one else would . Of course , this did not stop Derek from trying to take full credit and delete Meredith ’s name from the total accomplishment .
5. BLAMING MEREDITH WHEN THEY ALMOST COULDN’T ADOPT ZOLA
Meredith and Derek ’s experience in adopt a tiddler for the first time was a dramatic and exhausting one . When Alex ’s mission to bring African children to Seattle Grace for discussion became a success , Meredith and Derek meet Zola and fell in love life almost immediately .
The entire operation of going about adopting her was a difficult one , and when they almost were n’t able to adopt Zola , Derek blamed Meredith completely and their relationship almost fell apart .
4. WHEN HE BELITTLED MEREDITH FOR TRYING TO MOVE ON
One of the time that McDreamy point his truly ugly side was when Meredith had the audacity to attempt to move on with her life after Derek leave her for Addison . Meredith open her heart to Derek , and an undeniable example of that is her grievous seam that just about everyone ( even those who do n’t watchGrey ’s Anatomy)knows:“pick me , pick out me , love me " .
Derek rejected Meredith and when she at last essay to move on with Finn the veterinarian , Derek call on the carpet , pick at , and insulted Meredith with derogative terms and honestly , he should have been held accountable for that .
3. WHEN HE THREW WEBBER UNDER THE BUS TO BECOME CHIEF
Derek was power - hungry , and it ’s a trait that really started to come into the Christ Within in late seasons . The mind neurosurgeon ’s report and bequest definitely go to his pass and acted as nothing but ego - fuel at time . finally , Derek settle that he would make a great chief of the surgery . The only problem was that Richard was currently chief .
Richard and Derek had known each other for years and instead of support Richard in a unmanageable time , Derek choose his career over his close Quaker and threw Webber under the motorcoach .
2. WHEN HE CHEATED ON MEREDITH
Meredith and Derek ’s kinship is one that is still very darling and romanticise today . The two were undeniably an unforgettable facet ofGrey ’s Anatomy , but was there romance really all that worthy of the kudos it received and keep on to get ?
Something that is often neglect and sail under the carpeting , is the fact that Derek flirted with infidelity when he and Meredith were fence whether to move to D.C. or not . Derek flat - out kissed another woman while he was at a conference in D.C. , and it ’s a awful thing he did that really does n’t get enough attention .
1. WHEN HE ALMOST MADE MEREDITH MOVE TO D.C.
Derek ’s character suffered the most during his last season on the show . It was perhaps due to the fact that the gang behindGrey’swere anticipate huge backlash for losing such a beloved , major character - so their result was to make everyone detest him before he was killed off . That ’s just a theory , but it ’s in spades potential , as most of the terrible thing Derek does befall in his final season .
He ’s given a salvation electric arc of sorting decent before he ’s killed off , but the fact that he was altogether putting his life and career before Meredith ’s when he tried to persuade her to uproot everything and move to D.C. , is something that ’s hard not to shrink at .
