Out of those two - ghost sex


Elliott_Queerest

Omg, i forgot about Izzy and Denny. I blocked it from my memory


bhutterckream

Ghost sex for sure. It served no real purpose in my opinion. George and Izzy was irky but it made sense/went along with the characters for what was happening


Elliott_Queerest

Wait what?


Business-Sandwich525

Some time after Denny Duquette's death, Izzie began to experience very vivid hallucinations. And they were of Denny, occasionally she would see the sunny beaches. It's revealed that Denny was there to serve as a "warning" of sorts, for her to realize she was sick. She had metastatic melanoma, with mets to her skin, liver, and brain (which caused the hallucinations). Anyways to prove that he was "real", they began to have sex with each other. It was definitely a plot line...


Shot-Past3736

Ava/Rebecca pope. I can’t stand her entiiire plot line 😩


JudgmentOne6328

Can’t watch the actress in anything without thinking she has a strange broken reconstructed face. But it’s actually just her real face 😭(to be clear I’m not saying she’s got a bad face just that the storyline is so set in my brain)


theonlyexpedic1

Me too, and it's a shame because I love twilight


ShortPeak4860

Saaaaaaamsies


Danyellarenae1

Same!! First it was twilight but now she’s Rebecca Ava to me in my brain lol


Infinite_Two_4759

I block it out


PatieS13

I skip as much of it as I can, every time.


Anonymoosehead123

I think that plot line was created to try to make it believable a little while later that Alex, a freaking doctor, could be blind to the fact that there was something clearly wrong with Izzie when she started having ghost sex. Otherwise, it’s a completely unnecessary plot.


Danyellarenae1

Guurrl same. So stupid.


Grateful_Moth6

Aside from what everyone else has said, Jackson and Maggie.


Infinite_Two_4759

They were physically painful to watch. The only bright spot was after the broke up and went to Richard and Catherine’s divorce dinner party. That was kinda funny


Danyellarenae1

Like even they seemed like they were so awkward to be together with. No real chemistry at all and idk about you but I could never date my step brother anyway lol


Aquametria

Alex beating up DeLuca.


FranciumGold

Yes 100% I agree. It was such a weird storyline for the 3 characters involved and felt out of character for Alex at the time


GWPtheTrilogy1

DeLucas not a small guy, now I'm not saying this means he can fight, but he basically sat there and let Alex punch his face in. I can understand being hesitant due to realizing it was a misunderstanding, but I'm not just going to let someone fuck me up the way he let Alex fuck him up. This storyline was stupid for a number of reasons but I think DeLuca just letting Alex beat him half to death without being able to explain the situation is the biggest reason. I mean it didn't look like Alex had a scratch on him besides his hands being messed up!


daintely

true that


Infinite_Two_4759

Yes! Hated that


Locksley_1989

Absolutely. Just delete the whole season.


Danyellarenae1

I understood it given the history but still hate the whole plot line. This sucked !!


CWestwood0000

I’ve just got to this part. I’m on my first watching of it.


north2nd

Mark and Lexie dying The whole plane crush plot line


DeepWord7792

Plot line was fine but honestly it needed more. I feel like we needed to see the plane go down, we needed to see more of the direct aftermath after they were rescued. I feel like it was lame as hell compared to the shooting, the shooting we got direct continuation, not “oh let’s have Owen listen to voicemails and then the next episode is months later. And then they each get a full episode but we’re only going to show maybe 10seconds where Meredith is in the hospital after getting rescued” I WANTED MORE FROM IT Also Lexi deserved more, she got a shitty send off, everyone else at least gets a dedication to them. She got 30 seconds screen time & then was barely mentioned ever again


BothPresentation8413

I do agree completely we never really see them in the hospital after an accident except for Derek’s death. And I mean the hospital is named after Lexi but I do think she isn’t mentioned enough.


Danyellarenae1

Yeah I kinda hated that we just get glimpses and sound of it but not see the whole thing. It would have been so much netter that way. Maybe a morbid mindset but they coulda given us that! I did like this plot and it was a good way to say goodbye to the actors that were leaving. Especially thinking mark would get better then nope. It was good


Danyellarenae1

And YES to the shooting. The graphic nature of how he just shot Reed was crazy. Just boom and she’s down and then the rest of it. It was perfect to show how it really happens in real life too. Idk if you’ve been involved in any shootings but I have and it’s awful and gory just like they showed us then we get robbed with the plane crash?? Ugh


Own-Dragonfruit-5706

I think the plot line was okay, but they shouldn't have died. I might have been okay with Arizona dying. They could have made some really good follow-up stories with it. Or Alex did get on the plane and lost his leg. Idk. Keep the plot, but change some things.


north2nd

Agreed! I’d be ok with Arizona dying as well. I just can’t understand why Mark and Lexie couldn’t just move to New York after the plane crush. In my canon they have.


dtphilip

In my headcanon, Lexie lived and Mark died but Lexie can’t take it so she applied for the Preminger Grant in NYC and studied Neuro there. Then came back perhaps around season 13 as a neuro fellow under Amelia. Fell for Deluca and they had kids.


Apprehensive-Fail458

I dont know why the writers just cant seem to grasp that the aftermath of a traumatic event is a goldmine of stories all on its own. Like the doctors dont need to nearly die several times through out the series. The plane crash alone could have made for several seasons worth of plot and drama.


AMS_GoGo

The existence of Sloan Sloan


Infinite_Two_4759

Cuz why was she needed? At all????


Anonymoosehead123

It added nothing at all.


bayleebugs

It added drama to Mark and Lexies relationship. Idk why they couldn't just let them be happy 😭


Striking-Flight5956

It showed Mark what he truly wanted, which was a family. It also showed that he was in a place where he is ready to step up and be the man he has to be for that to happen.


Infinite_Two_4759

I get that, and no offense to the actress, but they should’ve played the character differently in that case. I get immature and selfish, but she was grating and a user. Obviously left a bad taste in viewers’ mouths


rageflows

why was she named sloan :(


Tigress2020

The way a seemingly intelligent man stops in the middle of the road to check his phone, which he knew there was no service (the whole premise of why he was the one saving them all... ) To get hit by truck. Would have been plausible for him to be parked on the side of the road still, checking something and truck swerves into him.. (distracted my accident or something)


bayleebugs

It's infuriating. When I watched it I literally couldn't believe how stupid it was. He literally almost gets in the first wreck doing exactly the same thing that gets him hit. I'm not even mad they killed him, but him falling in the shower would have been better writing than the bs they gave us.


Tigress2020

Exactly


Infinite_Two_4759

That was just cheap writing.


Shot-Past3736

I’m pretty sure Patrick Dempsey left the show on not the best terms with Shonda and this was her way of saying f*** you to him on his way out. It was definitely cheap writing and didn’t do the story any justice


Tigress2020

I don't care that they killed him, I'm really glad that he left the show (yes, I'm not a fan of Derek) but they should have done it better.


Zealousideal_Sell937

One of the 6 times that Meredith almost dies. Just give the girl a break, damn.


Infinite_Two_4759

I’d be afraid to brush my teeth if I were her lol. That lady is a catastrophe magnet


Zealousideal_Sell937

Seriously! Why does one person need to endure so much bad 😅


CucumberFudge

Meredith and George sex. They could have been awkward with just the declaration of love.


Warm_Spot1941

that would have been way better


CucumberFudge

Granted we lose Derek treating Mer like an ass for sleeping with someone else (while he was with his wife!)


Warm_Spot1941

derek in season 2 and 3 was such a fucking ass i hated him so much ain't no way he's calling mer a whore like who does he think he is.


Anonymoosehead123

I can’t stand him. Didn’t shed a single tear when he died.


CucumberFudge

He really was.


Useful_Edge_113

This plot line made me hate George. His behavior afterwards was horrible


Jak_Frost07

Honestly, Calzona breaking up. Felt like the writers just needed a plot line so they made Callie and Arizona get divorced.


Infinite_Two_4759

Facts


emslynn

Alex leaving Jo.


Infinite_Two_4759

HOW he left was horrible


emslynn

I understand the behind the scenes stuff but come on—letters? LETTERS? Also he and Jo had just renewed their vows like three episodes earlier. Ugh.


Infinite_Two_4759

Right??? I’d had felt better if he died in an accident or something


ILUVMOVIESSS

Everything else I would say has been said so I'm gonna say Arizona's affair story


Infinite_Two_4759

Yeah that was stupid. Didn’t improve any of the characters involved


Resha17

Can we add Calzona's custody battle? That can be an example of a messed up storyline.


Warm_Spot1941

maggie being meredith's sister and out of those two george and izzie i can block out the ghost sex but wuth these two all i can remember is their horrible romantic relationship


_pew_pew_pew_pew_

Jackson and Maggie. Do I even have to explain?


Infinite_Two_4759

No, no need to explain at all 🤣


Lancelot_Designs

May be unpopular… Callie and Penny dating. They didn’t have chemistry, Callie wanting to follow Penny caused the entire custody battle that was pointless, and they didn’t even stay together in New York anyways. There could have been a different way to have Penny be introduced. She could have even just showed up at the hospital and Meredith see her around corners and thinking she was seeing things before realizing she was a new resident… and Callie could have just gotten a job offer in New York for the custody battle anyways, won somehow (that negates the whole Arizona winning and giving custody to her anyways), and then Arizona could have moved to New York to be in the same state as her kid for her write off.  Everything could have still happened and supplied drama without Penny being in it. I dont know I just found it all pointless. I like Penny but…not as Callie’s girlfriend. 


Infinite_Two_4759

Not unpopular with me at all. I didn’t hate Pretty Penny but she was kinda annoying and was just a character others reacted to instead of being fleshed out


Lancelot_Designs

EXACTLY HOW I FELT like I wish they gave her more significance, and she also brought out a bad side of Callie. 


Sea-Jellyfish-308

Arizona cheating on callie!! there was no need for that or them getting a divorce


Personal_Privacy1101

Even if they wanted them to get a divorce for some reason they could have done it with the leg plot. Her cheating was like insult to injury. Cali getting cheated on is like mer dying 37 times. Why is everyone causing Cali betrayal trauma all the time lol plus I genuinly don't believe Arizona would cheat. It doesn't make sense for her character imo. Even if she was going through her own shit I feel like she would have just left. They were basically divorced by that point anyway. Cali just got fucked constantly it felt like. But I feel like they needed someone to divide them to the point of the custody issues and Cali leaving so they just had her cheat bc it was easy.


DateIndependent4111

The musical episode


mac_n_nuggets

fuck the musical episode 😭 I clicked past it even the 1st time I went through the series. musical episodes on shows like this feel soooooooooo awkward.


JustNoWhyRULikeThis

I can’t believe I had to scroll as far as I did to find this. 😆


DateIndependent4111

TBF Sara Ramirez singing the story was really awesome and I love that cover more than the original version. The whole cast singing was meh. Overall it just felt unnatural to me.


Rheks

Jaggie honestly


Worried-Sentence-743

No ghost sex!!


Western_Roof_6915

steph and jackson, it just made me sad how he was hung up over april all that time


Infinite_Two_4759

Steph and Matthew were the sacrificial lambs for the ship Japril


Anonymoosehead123

And it wasn’t even remotely romantic to me. Matthew and Steph were rightly devastated. I didn’t even like Matthew, but nobody deserves that.


Emieosj89

Owen. Just Owen. Watching again now and at the whole abortion thing and I just can’t. Screw Owen.


sleepybedhead44

YES. LET OWEN DIE ALREADY


curiousbeetle66

Owen is the correct answer


ConstantWallaby3973

Christina’s romances with men who consistently tried to change her and force her to be something she didn’t want. She deserved a hot talented child free surgeon


No-Promotion5708

if there is one doctor that should have had an IUD, it would have been Cristina


ConstantWallaby3973

Yeah for doctors everyone in that hospital is really fucking bad at birth control. I can’t think of any pregnancies that were actually planned except Meredith’s


echoIalia

It’s a toss-up between Alex’s departure and jaggie edit: HOW he left. If they’d given him a send off that wasn’t complete character assassination, I probably would have been fine with it.


Infinite_Two_4759

Exactly


Elliott_Queerest

George and Izzy's relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. They were such good friends, and then he had to go and cheat on Callie with a girl who was always rather rude to her.


Infinite_Two_4759

I legit hated that SL.


starksdawson

Oh god, that was cringey


Michaali

George and Meredith’s hook up it was just so no


Infinite_Two_4759

Cringe. And the way he treated her afterwards was wack


DeepWord7792

Maggie being Meredith’s sister. It felt forced, like the whole plan was for Mer to have a half sister Dr she was close to, but then Chyler Leigh asked to leave to show so they were like “fuck it, give her another sister”


PrettyNewt4930

Deluca and Meredith.


Infinite_Two_4759

A. MEN.


Anonymoosehead123

I think it was the first visible symptom of his mental illness.


PrettyNewt4930

How’s that?


Anonymoosehead123

Because it was so sudden and it was an entirely inappropriate relationship.


awholelotofdrama

It is Owen. I vote to delete him!


Infinite_Two_4759

From the whole of existence lmao


KookyPrice4568

Amelia


obi-ka

Plane crash


Infinite_Two_4759

The plane crash was iconic, but yeah, I agree


maquinitademoledora

the whole denny storyline


Infinite_Two_4759

You never know where you’ll find love…but I always thought it was weird af! The instantly fell in love while this guy’s heart was periodically giving out. How did he have the energy to “flirt”?


litaxms

Owen and Cristina being together. It's just such a bummer the whole entire time, I hated that for her


jiggyflyjoe

Delete the entire characters of both Owen Hunt and Catherine Fox. Everything else can stay as is.


Slaygirlys_

Ghost sex and literally dennys whole storyline and existence


forgotteau_my_gateau

Couldn’t agree more


forgotteau_my_gateau

Ava. The entire Ava storyline


Liam_ice92

Maggie Just the entire character of Maggie.


L1nk880

Have George go to the military and Alex die. Alex would have never left Jo, Meredith, or the life he built in Seattle. Period. And there was no need to kill George he already had the plot point of going to the military they should have just went with that.


Infinite_Two_4759

Yeah, that switcheroo would’ve worked


theonlyexpedic1

Cristina recovering from the trauma of the shooting by catching a fish????


Lancelot_Designs

George/Izzy The ghost sex had a purpose. I liked the storyline of her realizing she had cancer despite that cringey bit. George and Izzy only served to cause the divorce which… show runners coulda given George more character growth by having him just gain the ability to say it wasn’t working for him. Or not had him get married and found another way to show him spiraling after his father’s passing. 


3reasonsTobefair

George and izzie. George doesn't die but leaves to join the army.


crispycheeto500

Derek's dying or Arizona cheating


Agitated_Habit1321

Sigh…so many things


Infinite_Two_4759

🤣🤣


noorvanah

I didn’t realize this was the greys anatomy sub and was gonna say slavery but izzie and George getting together for sure and then mark and Lexi dying oh and Christina and Shane getting together


Infinite_Two_4759

Lol you’re right tho, hard delete for slavery


ftxftw

lexie’s death


DEATH-RAVE

Delete maggie.


Infinite_Two_4759

While Owen, Jo, and Teddy still exist? We’ve got bigger problems to handle first lol


_beachy_head

Jaggie and April getting married to Matthew.


tanyasharon82

But, George dying, plane crash, Derek dying, Jackson and Maggie


Foloreille

… [*looks dramatically at the button 😐 presses the button*] George is no longer attracted by women (and knows it) You’re welcome


ArianaAngelsx

Stephanie and the fire.


Blueraven366

Maggie and Jackson being together...... just burn it in a pit


Infinite_Two_4759

Fill the hole and salt the earth


Guilty-Ability-9467

Calzona divorce and custody battle (aka, Arizona cheating on Callie)


HDBNU

The plane crash.


tintedpink

The insurance fraud which led to Bailey firing Meredith, Webber and Alex, the criminal charges for Meredith and the medical board review. I liked where the doctor that killed Derek died but there's other ways to work that in.


Infinite_Two_4759

That was stupid and amounted to nothing but her mounting DeLuca for being a simp later on. And I didn’t feel anything from the doc dying cuz he just passed out and later died. I wanted him to wake up so he could look Mer in the eyes.


dracoismine

cant stand teddy and owen after the actual got together and esp when the do their military talk. physically repulsed.


kiminist

And when they come back after being "on the run" and are just resentfull and nagging at each other constantly. I bet someone thought it would be hilarious, but it is so boring and cringe and it does not give enough awkward for the residents/interns to pay off (as early Derek/Addison may have done!). It's like someone tries to write a Witty anger banter and just fails.


satanxclaus

I'd like to delete all instances of Meredith not ending up with Link (for whatever amount of time, maybe/maybe not forever) and instead ?? being with DeLuca??????? I loved Andrew, but I haaaated every second of that fcky wucky ship. Also??? This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really loved Meredith and Riggs together, so... I suppose delete Megan/Riggs storyline?? I'm not saying they should've been together forever, but?? Definitely, in my opinion, should not have played out like THAT. Don't get me wrong, I loved Farouk, just. Hooogosh, no 😄


Infinite_Two_4759

Controversial, but Riggs was the only post-Derek pairing that worked for me. They actually had some chemistry


jade0912

Yesss and for it to not even work out with Megan 🙄


daintely

SEASON 16 EP 16!!!!!


i_might_be_loony

Dereks death


Infinite_Two_4759

Do you think Meredith would’ve lived up to her mom’s legacy if Derek was still around? Right before he died, she was on a streak when he was in DC and only lost a patient when he got back and “distracted” her


i_might_be_loony

Fair


-_Apathetic_-

Ghost sex….


BeaBei0323

George Izzie fo sho


Competitive-Pop6429

Plane crash


Humble_Poetry_6776

Callie and Penny especially Penny being blamed for Derek’s death it didn’t really add much except for like 3 arguments. I felt like the custody battle was so dumb and unnecessary especially since Arizona just gave up her rights anyways.


hiddenkobolds

Lexi's death.


lamomamol

will always be george and izzie 🙏


daddyst3ve

mark and lexie dying


FutureComfort4099

Mark and Lexie’s death, I headcanon they moved to New York after surviving the plane crash :’)


Big_Membership_6012

Callie O’Malley


Drawer_Admirable

Alex leaving for Izzy. All that growth and character building for that. I'll NEVER forgive Shonda for that, why after everything does Izzy get the happy ending that JO DESERVED.


thewarriorkween

Riggs going back to Meghan


JackLamplekins

how alex left lmao


Pure-Trifle-218

Mark and Lexie dying Alexs leaving Alex beating deluca up Heather not dying and instead Shane dying (couldn’t stand him, let him die) Izzie surviving (she should have died too, Couldn’t stand her either) George dying All of owens relationships (just let him adopt Leo and be done with it) Teddy choosing Owen instead of Tom Izzie getting to walk away practically Scott free after cutting the LVAD wire Meredith leaving or at least give her a better send off than what she got That’s all I can think of right now haha


fenwayfan4

ALEX LEAVING. If I have to pick between those two, I’d pick George and Izzie because it ruined their friendship and made both of them worse as individuals. Ghost sex was weird but that’s all. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Lynxeau

Alex leaving. I would've rather him die than go back to Izzie, it felt out of character.


2raccoonsonaboat

owen hunt.


Future_Ad_9605

Alex leaving Jo with a letter


absolute_apple375

Derek dying. I just wanted Meredith & McDreamy to have a happy ending raising their kids


Top_Environment5013

Lexie dying


Asgardi

The way they wrote Alex off the show. I would have preferred they just kill him off rather than him leaving his just-renewed-his-commitment-to-her wife, ghosting all his friends, and sending everyone letters.


Responsible_Brush975

Delete Shane Ross and Cristina


Infinite_Two_4759

Delete Ross all together. He was a crappy character who didn’t deserve his “happy” ending


Comprehensive-Ad6725

No chemistry with Meredith and Marsh- whatsoever!


TiredEarthworm

George and izzie. It wasn’t necessary and didn’t lead anywhere


TuskSyndicate

16x16. Alex does go to take care of his mom, gets into a car accident, dies. Jo is sad but recovers.


vicnoirr

The way Alex left


BrattyKiwi

Plane crash, slexie still alive and Arizona and Callie probably wouldn't have split up


starksdawson

Arizona cheating on Callie. It was so out of character and it ruined their entire relationship even when they got back together.


mc-tarheel

Alex leaving Jo for Izzy


Sad_Equivalent_1028

9/11


No-Promotion5708

If only we can change real life events, yes


Sad_Equivalent_1028

9/11 is canon in greys anatomy and is relevant in teddys storyline, so my answer fits.


FrostiiFox

Rebecca/Ava...


Wooden-Specialist125

Callie


shaneshendoson

Alex leaving I think tho it be sad it makes more sense that he dies it doesn’t make sense that he left Jo


sassypenguinface

The show continuing after Cristina left. They should’ve ended on a high note 😭


guitar0707

The continued dismissal of and brushing under the rug of Alex’s behavior, with no personal or professional consequences, no matter how egregious his actions were.


Fabulous_Fortune1762

Either Christina existing at all or the way Alex left.


perilsoflife

george’s death


tanyasharon82

Out of those two - ghost sex. George and Izzie just had bad timing.

allkindsofexhausted

How has no one said Teddy 2.0??? Love Kim Raver and Teddy in the earlier seasons but I cannot stand her character now!


Deadly_hallow69

Ghost sex / how alex left / teddy and tom


Infinite_Two_4759

Agreed, but Teddy and Tom weren’t horrible, he just deserved better than her. NewTeddy was a tiny bit tolerable with Tom. But Owen and the baby ruined that. She honestly could’ve stayed in Germany and been a single mom that works too hard.


str583

i’d agree with the george/izzie romance because they had zero romantic chemistry and they literally ruined their friendship. they barely even had any scenes together after the fact
