Grey’s Anatomy

Grey ’s Anatomyhas feature a fibre with every type of attribute TV has to offer . We ’ve got the estimable guys , the antagonists , the dreamy boys , the backstabbers , the tough ones , and the bad boy . The most pop tend to be either the moony one i.e. McDreamy , or the spoiled boys such as Mark Sloan and Alex Karev .

The show plays into the old figure of speech of turning the initial bad boy into someone with a much blue-blooded temperament . Alex Karev has seen his sightly percentage of mellowing down over the last fifteen long time we ’ve followed him , but there ’s still a set leave to mature in this guy wire . One of the defining aspects of his role is how flawed he is . There ’s a definite constituent of self - righteousness to him as he ’s never been the one to blend in a normal crowd because things like making belittled talk are something Karev can never indulge in . He ’s stuck to feel like a victim of the way the humanity works and refuses to partake in in societal customs , opt the society of a select few who truly get him like Meredith .

It ’s still a fascinating quality to follow because you would n’t have expect him to have live on this long upon his initial institution . At first , he seemed to principally be a enhancer to George O ’ Malley , but since then Alex has become a standout character in his own right .   But there ’s no look past the aspects of him that are n’t the best of him . If you think he ’s the best , then looking through this inclination might convince you otherwise .

Here are 20 Things Wrong With Alex Karev .

He Doesn’t Have A Great Personality

Of all the characters on the show , Alex is definitely the least reachable . While the great unwashed such as George or Izzie were the form you wanted to approach and could feel comfortable around , Alex is nothing like that . It ’s concentrated to stick out him for the most part as Karev is hardly ever in a render mood .

He does n’t wish to put up with people in general and is n’t willing to be low or a shoulder to squall on . He can be like this to citizenry like Meredith , but it took about a decennium before he and Meredith could be like that . For the most part , Alex ’s personality is n’t the effective .

He used Lexie to get over Izzie

Okay , if you mean about it , everyone on the show is middling eccentric , and Lexie is around the top of the gang , but Alex did still habituate her to make himself feel best for fall back Izzie . He ’d sort of used her in Season 4 as well when Lexie was just too eager to get a Resident - Boyfriend .

By Season 6 , though , she was likely hoping for more from Alex , who never really took her seriously and admit while in shock , after getting ache , that he bonk Izzie . Once he ’d broken up with her , Alex never felt bad about stringing Lexie around either .

His Original Relationship With Jo

Alex and Jo were always head toward a wild-eyed relationship during Season 9 , but attempts were made to make it look like this might not be the case . They hung out , talk about casual stuff , and did n’t show too much amorous interest in one another . While this strategy was n’t too bad , the writer should n’t have had a scene where Jo even called Alex “ like my brother ” .

In retrospect , that input does n’t get on well , nor does it wait too unspoilt either , unless the show require to convince us a sibling - corresponding relationship can turn into a romanticistic one between friends .

he still loves izzie

Alex may not be all in beloved with Izzie anymore , but there ’s no denying he still has a situation for her in his heart . Throughout the first six seasons , she was his main love interest . Her influence was such that Alex was still hungover Izzie as late as in Season 12 , when she ’d been go years .

To this day , as of late as the three-hundredth installment , Alex keeps note her from time to fourth dimension . In the most recent case , Alex revealed he had made up a scenario where Izzie might be today . If that does n’t order you he ’s been thinking about her all these eld nothing will .

His relationship with Jane Doe

During a break between his by-line of Izzie from Season 3 to Season 4 , Alex had a much - badmouth storyline with a adult female ab initio only known as Jane Doe . This seemed to be steer toward a sweet Doctor - Patient lovemaking story until it became completely messed up .

Out of nowhere , she had a married man , and Alex was in a weird triangle of sorts . To make matters worse , in Season 4 the woman had several mental wellness problems and was then written out inexplicably . The relationship was barely ever mentioned after that .

How he treated George

Despite whatever he ’s done over the years , both honest and bad , the worst part about Alex is how he treated George . For understanding never explained , Alex hat George with a passionateness , who never did anything to guarantee such conduct against him .

Alex regularly diss George , treated him like garbage , and belittled him at every turn . What ’s worse is that Alex did it in such a way that he felt it was justified . It was classic bullying , but Karev was adamant in his hate for George right on until the latter ’s end . He was n’t even much sad when George passed away , being mainly concerned over how Izzie matte up .

The Callie Retcon

A few years earlier , Grey ’s Anatomy ’s ratings fell intemperately from what they had once been . In orderliness to find that interest , the show had several thingamajig episodes that were out of the box . One of them was a flashback episode that demonstrate the medico in their initial days in the infirmary .

A big retcon was there in the shape of Karev and Callie Torres birth a one - meter thing upon their first meeting . This had nothing to do with anything so it was a surprisal the show handed us a factoid about the two . Not only did it make no sense , but it also made Alex look like an even openhanded dog than he is .

He And Mark Are Similar

verbalise of being a bounder , the man with this title was Mark Sloan , who did n’t go two episodes without being with a new girl . Mark was stuck with this tag throughout his tenure and it became a defining character trait of his , but he ’s not the only one always around the peeress .

Alex also has a very long inclination of adult female he has been with . For starters , the names that down right up are Izzie , Addison , Callie , Lexie , Jo , and all of these women are the main characters we ’ve seen . These fair sex are n’t even a poop of the ladies we ’ve project Alex with ! Poor Mark gets flack for no reason .

He gets crazy jealous

There are several indication inGrey ’s Anatomythat Alex and Jo ’s relationship is n’t exactly hefty . They both have mess up up , even traumatic , yesteryear before they came across each other and every personal trouble has affected their human relationship . One of the side effects of enduring his past problem has been Alex ’s jealousy .

No matter where he is with Jo , whether with or without her , he finds someone to be overjealous of connected to her . This was played off as precious in Season 9 when they had n’t gotten together but since then the jealousy related incident do n’t descend across half as lovey - dovey as they used to .

Hurting Addison

Another person he did n’t show regard for was Addison . In Season 3 , when both Addison and Alex were n’t involved in any storylines , the two were randomly matched together . For some intellect , it bring great and could ’ve become a superb plot line as these two had something that just seemed veracious . Unfortunately , it was n’t to be and Alex very offhandedly turned Addison ’s attempts of have it further down .

In the end , Alex basically take advantage of the situation to have some play and matte up no remorse when Addison bailed from the infirmary . It sour out for her as she rifle ontoPrivate Practice , but let ’s not leave how slight care he show .
