3 Grey's Anatomy Characters That Can Get Away With Anything For Some Reason
Is it plot armor, or is it just the fandom's willingness to defend their favorites?
Some characters on Grey's Anatomy are apparently so charming that they seem to get away with something that fans would never forgive if it were done by someone less favored. Here are some of the characters who could commit murder and the fandom would be ready to defend them.
Cristina
"Oh, it's just her personality." This is probably the most popular comment from Cristina Yang's fans when they have to defend her for being mean to April (or literally anyone else). Isn't it convenient when you can be so charmingly mean that everyone just loves you more for it?
Well, not everyone, if we're being honest.
"I liked her [Cristina] in seasons 1-3 but the way she treated her interns in season 4 and was mean to Lexie just because Meredith was mean to her and wanted nothing to do with her bothered me," Redditor Original-Gear1583 said.
Addison
Despite making several mistakes in her personal life (which some fans still can't get over), Addison enjoys a lot of fan love. Yes, she cheats on Derek with his best friend; yes, she stays with Mark for two months even though their relationship is pointless; but it looks like she can break everyone's hearts and still remain a fan favorite.
"Addison was smart as hell, cocky without being arrogant, took no crap but was incredibly vulnerable at times, she was awesome without being a Mary Sue (coughmaggiecough), and she commanded the space she was in. They really don't write females like this anymore," Redditor moonorchid84 explained.
Mark
When it comes to Mark, many Grey's Anatomy fans believe that the love he enjoys comes solely from his ability to be good with children. According to some in the fandom, Mark is one of the least scrutinized characters, despite all the bad things he's done on the show. Oh, and don't forget the hot male character privilege.
Even when it comes to being a good dad — something Mark is considered to be really great at — there are some adjustments.
"But all your kids count when [it comes to] being a good father. He found out a woman was pregnant...sent her some money for an abortion and never checked in again. That's.. wild," Redditor Apprehensive_Bake_78 noted.
