7. Best - Izzie and Denny

The tragic love affair between Doctor Izzie Stevens and heart patient Denny Duquette Jr. was another kinship that made season 2 one of the show ’s good . Viewers knew that this love story was never going to have a well-chosen ending , but that did n’t hold back anyone from hoping that it would . There have been plenty of iconicGrey’smoments that had devotee reaching for the cheeseparing box seat of tissue , but few have been quite so intestine - wrenching as Izzie showing up in a literal promenade dress and recover Denny already dead .

The chemistry between Katherine Heigl and Jeffrey Dean Morgan was palpable   andviewers fell for Dennyright along with Izzie . However , the less said about his season 5 return as a specter / hallucination , the better .

6. Worst - Alex and Ava

After swooning over the doctor / patient romance between Izzie and Denny , the one between Alex Karev and Jane Doe / Rebecca / Ava was a Brobdingnagian disappointment . Part of the event was the staggering lack of chemistry between Justin Chambers and Elizabeth Reaser , but the larger problem was that this storyline simply dragged on for far too long .

5. Best - Callie and Arizona

The love story between Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins was n’t just the first major kinship between a same gender couple onGrey ’s Anatomy , but it was one of the show ’s longsighted as well . After Callie ’s miserable marriage to George and her completely sparkless crack with Erica Hahn , it was awesome to see the orthopedic surgeon ascertain someone who was in reality veracious for her .

It is straight that things were never okay for these two after the airplane clangour , but they still stay one of the   most compelling couples onGrey ’s . There ’s a reason why they live happily after -even if their reunion had to chance offscreen .

4. Worst - Callie and Penny

Callie and Penny Blake were basically the anti - Calzona : utterly no interpersonal chemistry , ludicrous and twelve shades of bland . You might say that the worst thing about Penny was that she did n’t struggle hard enough to get Derek the aesculapian care that would ’ve saved his lifespan . However , then you would be block about the fact that she hung around for way too long and ruin one ofGrey’sbest characters : Calliope Iphegenia   Torres .

2. Worst - George and Izzie

The relationship between George O’Malley and Izzie Stevens is wide consideredthe greatest romanticist misstepinGrey’shistory . These two had developed an awesome friendship over the years and frankly , it undermined the intelligence of the hearing to arrogate that we ’d postulate them to scent up in bed together .

Making subject worse was the fact that Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight had spate of interpersonal chemistry , at least until they started making out . At that point , watching them together candidly mat up kind of icky , as the two had become more akin to siblings than anything else .
