Grey’s Anatomy

Anyone who has been followingGrey ’s Anatomyfor the retiring 16 years knows that having characters fare and going is almost   as common as surgical procedures atGrey Sloan Memorial Hospital . If there ’s one   trend that multitude have gravel used to in this show , is that it has kill lineament more often than not to   have an alibi to take them out of the series .

From character both major to minor , viewers have check all types of deaths . Arguably , after   17 seasons , some characters ' end were   so much more believable than others .

Less Believable: George O’Malley

It ’s not that George ’s ground to die   was not   honorable since he , as a genuine doctor , run a risk his life to make unnecessary another when he leaped in front of a bus , but this was a demise that not only fans did n’t see come , but it was also extremely dramatic and horrifying , to say the least .

O’Malley wanted to become a trauma sawbones in the USA , and , ironically , the accident he suffered was so bad that his own strong-arm injury made him see almost unrecognisable . So , even though he was adearly missed friend and colleague , his death has to be remembered as one of the most lifelike , surprising , and too - dramatized .

Most Believable: Mark Sloan

By the time Dr. Sloan ( a.k.a . McSteamy ) run away , viewers were still   recovering from the shock that the plane collapse had on them and several characters , including the end ofMark ’s large making love , Lexie . Most people   had ascertain to sleep together   Mark , as he was one of thosewho grow the mostthroughout their time atGrey ’s . To make matters worse , the show let the consultation consider , for a while , that he was going to make it and recover from this terrible accident .

But a worsening of his symptoms led him into a coma , and he never woke up again . count the unfortunate — but fairly believable — circumstance of how he died , his departure did n’t seem forced at all .

Less Believable: Heather Brooks

Similarly to O’Malley , Dr. Brooks’death during time of year 10came as a perfect surprise to the consultation . Heather also died trying to   help   someone else , in this type , Richard Webber , who had just suffer an electric stupor . Unfortunately for her , she stepped into a water puddle and got electrocuted .

Right after that , she tragically come to her school principal on a source box . Her end , as saddening and striking as it was , was not as believable as some others . There is also the element that , in the same situation , Richard got out of it live , suggesting that her last   was a ham - fisted way of advancing the show ’s plot .

Most Believable: Elena Bailey

Bailey ’s mother ’s destruction , duringthe most recent time of year , has surely struck a chord in many witness ' hearts . Because it ’s been a time where the   serial address the COVID-19 impact , whether on people who are hospitalize or on the aroused upshot that it ’s make on physicians who act tirelessly to assist their   patients , it   is clear that Elena ’s decease was a statement from the show .

As a consequence , it has sure prove to be a more - than - convincing reason for an elderly character to fade away .   Bailey ’s female parent   got infect with the virus , was take to Grey Sloan , and , deplorably , passed away soon after .

Less Believable: Paul Stadler

Name one person who was a fan of Jo ’s revengeful , intimidating ex-wife - hubby , Paul Stadler . There was hardly anyone who did n’t wish for this graphic symbol to give   the consequence of hisabusive actions towards pathetic Wilson . So , when viewer learned that Paul was hospitalize after being the victim of a hit - and - bunk , it was prosperous for the audience to feel a sealed " payback " eccentric of vibe .

But , what had seemed to be a comparatively small   stroke snowball into a human death , the answer of an attempt to attack both his then - fiancé ( Jenny ) and Jo . In a cult ,   Paul   fell out of his bed and knocked himself out , becoming mentality deadened .   Most would say he contact a deserving end , but the fact that it came not by his car chance event but because of a self - caused head injury in his infirmary way made this character ’s departure a bit too convenient and obvious .

Most Believable: Diane Pierce

Maggie Pierce’ssweet , loving adoptive female parent had an unfortunate , even greuling   last couple of weeks before her passing . rooter acknowledge that she was diagnosed with a severe kind of breast cancer which was , in and of itself , a more - than plausible cause of death .   avowedly ,   any character who dies of draw out disease does so with an added gravitas , and , in Diane ’s compositor’s case , it was no dissimilar .

Also , the moment of her destruction was not excessively aroused and   heavy   as it   tends to happen inGrey ’s . She passed away calmly , in her bed , with Maggie by her side , as before long as she was finished pay her girl some life example . Ironically , Maggie was paint her mother ’s nails during her female parent ’s final moments .

Less Believable: Dylan Young

accident that involve sudden explosions , electrical seismic disturbance , or complete disfigurement of bodies could be said to be less - than - plausible   reasons to die , particularly give the dramatic nature of the show . Even though Dylan Young was a small character , he die in startling circumstances . looker sure still commemorate that it happened   when a bomb exploded in his hands . Besides the too - intense ambiance of this scene , there was the added factor thatMeredith had handily just left the operating roomafter successfully strike the explosive out of a patient role ’s body right before this happened .

Most Believable: Adele Webber

Everyone remembers Adele ’s process of genial and physical deterioration cause by Alzheimer ’s . But , most importantly , die - hard lover will never forget how her wellness — and at long last , her death — impactedRichard Webberso vividly . His first wife died of a heart attack follow brain surgery , and , as sorrowful as her pass was , the cause of her death was more than reasonable .

There are many complications that can come up after an encroaching operating procedure , and hold heart failure is by all odds not uncommon . Adele ’s loss affected Richard for a foresightful fourth dimension , even though her passing ca n’t be said to have been completely unexpected .

Less Believable: Derek Shepherd

When this fan - favourite character was killed , many people thought of it as the pit to this series ’s ruination , but the rating proved otherwise . Nevertheless , Derek ’s departure from the show was perhaps the most disgraceful , saddening , and unjust of all .

TV audience fuck that he could have been saved from his tragical accident had it not been for   an irritating hospital ’s nonperformance . Plus , his death was more grueling to accept because of his conjugation with Meredith , as the two   were protagonists of an " idealized romantic love story , " but his sudden departure , caused principally because of an unskilled doctor , can easy appear   unconvincing since he had already survived a airplane collapse and a bullet to this breast .

Most Believable: Lexie Grey

For a foresightful while , there was a legion of sports fan who could n’t get along to damage with Lexie ’s tragic departure . Besides her sorcerous , kind nature , her story with Mark seemed like it was finally about to get a felicitous end . How can oneforget that her emotional last words to himbefore death were that they were “ stand for to be ? "

unfortunately , she died on the scene of the airplane crash in which almost one-half of the main cast was involved , yield to the injuries she hold . As heartbreaking as it was to lose Meredith ’s half - baby , especially when there was nothing that could have been done to help her , her demise was undeniably plausible since surviving a aeroplane collapse is , quite frankly , a miracle .
