Grey’s Anatomy Reddit Ranks 5 Best Female Leads From Fine To Fire

You may love Shonda Rhimes or hate her, but you cannot deny the grace with which she writes her female characters. They are always very multidimensional, interesting and complicated people with a lot of personality. It is no wonder it’s so hard to name one favorite, if there are so many.

However, throughout the years, Grey’s Anatomy fans have managed to distinguish the ladies that attract way more attention than anybody else in the show. And rightfully so, as all of them have been present for years and granted the viewers the most tasteful, intriguing and passionate drama.

Here are 5 Grey’s Anatomy female leads, ranked from good ones to true goddess by r/greysanatomy subreddit.

5. Arizona Robbins

The cutest pediatrician you will ever meet. As soon as Arizona was introduced, she gained a lot of fans for her lighthearted attitude and genuine openness to all the other characters. Another major point of character growth was her relationship with Callie Torres, which was praised for being a very real representation of a lesbian relationship.

4. April Kepner

Another character who swept viewers off their feet around the same time was April Kepner. Although she was a little annoying at times, people learned to respect her and her choices, many of which were made from a religious perspective. April was a great example of growth and determination, and fans were truly devastated to lose her.

3. Meredith Grey

Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without one of the show's main characters, Meredith Grey. Some might argue that she has too many flaws to be a favorite, but that's exactly what makes her such a good lead. The show would be terribly boring and probably end in the pilot if it was about some kind of Ms. Perfect instead.

2. Addison Montgomery

Although the battle for Derek Shepherd's heart was eventually won by Meredith, Addison still managed to beat her in this particular list. She was just too charming, too sassy, and too good not to fall for. The good news is that all Addison lovers have a whole Private Practice spin-off to watch to indulge in a little more of her character.

1. Cristina Yang

It wasn't too surprising to see Cristina Yang in first place. She is one of the most talented surgeons in her field, as well as one of the best friends anyone could ask for. She may have some communication issues and struggles with love and commitment, but that just makes her that much more relatable and entertaining to watch.
