Grey’s Anatomy

Dr. Alex Karev , played by Justin Chambers , is one of the original interns , turned attending , turned resident at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital on the hit primetime aesculapian drama , Grey ’s Anatomy .

Alex has had a lot of girlfriends on the show and a couple of married woman . Alex ’s personal animation   was frequently a plot line over the course of the sixteen seasons he was on the show and there were a lot of ups and downs ,   along with a few missed chance .

Should: Callie Torres

Callie and Alex have a lot in rough-cut . They are both passing attractive and very tough . They do n’t shy away from much ,   be it a speculative surgery or a new love life pursuit . They both have go - getter personality that could have made for a play wooing process .

It also would have been entertaining to watch the power battle between the two alphas as they navigated a personal kinship . There in spades would have been some hot rendezvous in the on - call room if these two had go together .

Shouldn’t: Meredith Grey

Meredith and Alex are best friends and the only two original physician left after sixteen seasons of the show . After George died , Izzie disappeared , and Cristina moved to Zurich , Alex and Meredith were left with no choice but to   tilt on each other a lot .

They became each other ’s " person " once all of their other people were go . If they had ended up together , that would have ruined an important friendship and they would n’t have been capable to indorse one another the way they do as just friends .

Should: Cristina Yang

Alex andCristinacan both be pretty jumpy . They are very focused and do n’t rent much get in their way when it comes to operating room and their work . Their warmth could have potentially render well into a personal human relationship .

Alex could have benefitted a lot from being with a   cleaning lady like Cristina . She could have instruct him a thing or two , like how to work impertinent , not harder , and maybe even how to control his temper from sentence to time .

Shouldn’t: Miranda Bailey

Dr. Miranda Bailey is driven , smart , impudent , and give care . She ’s also too well for Alex Karev . When Bailey is introduced , she is a no - gimcrack type and boss her medical intern around unapologetically , including Alex Karev .

If Bailey and Alex had ever scram together , it would have caused viewers to question everything they have intercourse and roll in the hay about Miranda Bailey , while Alex would have most in all probability participated in the affair to gain an advantage in the work . It would have been an unwished-for storyline , to say the least .

Should: Mark Sloan

Alex worship Mark Sloan when the latter first came toSeattle Grace Hospitalas the new header of plastic surgery . Alex thought he wanted his speciality to be in credit card and wanted to con everything he could from his new god . Mark and Alex also got along well , plausibly because they   were so like .

Because they have so much in common , they ’re able to hold each other accountable and call each other out when it ’s necessary . They make a great professional team , and that could have translated well into a more personal relationship .

Shouldn’t: April Kepner

April and Alex would have never made a good lucifer . Their backgrounds could n’t be more dissimilar and they do n’t agree on much .

At one point , early on , when April first arrived at the infirmary after Seattle Grace merged with Mercy West , she and Alex had the small beginnings of a potential kinship . April even deliberate fall back her virginity to Alex , but it was clean these two do n’t work together ; as luck would have it , April did n’t   go through with it and they both moved on .

Should: Addison Montgomery

This is another relationshipAlexalmost had but did n’t follow through on . After Addison ’s divorce is finalized and she ’s formally back on the market place , she and Alex start play a piddling bit . Alex had been working in pediatrics under Addison and they bonded . They even apportion an versed here and now after a successful day and kiss .

A few episodes later , Mark take in Addison and Alex coming out of the on - call room . The relationship fizzles out and Addison move to LA , but she leave a lasting impact on Alex and he decides to stir his focus to pediatrics , which show Addison was undecomposed for him and they could ’ve made a groovy superpower couple .

Shouldn’t: Arizona Robbins

Arizona takes over as the new head teacher of pediatric surgery and Alex promptly becomes her go - to side - kick for all of her case . It ’s pretty unbelievable to see speculative boy Alex Karev handle typeface with sick children , infants , and complicated pregnancies .

Viewers could see Alex ’s middle getting larger with every new case while his knowledge and skills improved   under Arizona ’s counseling . If these two ever got personal , it would have ruined an incredible mentorship and since Alex thrived under Arizona ’s superintendence , he could n’t open to lose her .

Should: Teddy Altman

Alex needs a strong fair sex , someone who is her own boss and can emboss him around as well . Teddy is definitely that kind of woman and she wo n’t put up with any drama or games . Someone like Teddy could have been really great for Alex .

Despite all of his serious campaign , Alex still stockpile around a luck of his less attractive behaviors from his younger , more heedless years , and Teddy could have been the one to break those uncollectible habit .

Shouldn’t: Maggie Pierce

Maggie is a splendid surgeon and the vernal Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital has ever had . Alex would n’t be capable to feed Maggie ’s pastime and curiosities had the two every gotten together .

Not to mention , Maggie is Meredith Grey ’s half - sis and Alex already had a relationship with one of Meredith ’s Sister , Lexie , albeit brief . It was striking enough that it almost caused a rift in Alex and Meredith ’s relationship . Alex does a mess of confutative things , but he ascertain from all of them .
