Reddit Has Spoken: These 5 Grey's Anatomy Storylines Were Total Fails
Grey's Anatomy has been a beloved staple in television for over a decade, with fans following the lives of doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital since its debut in 2005. However, not every storyline has been a hit with viewers.
In fact, fans on Reddit have made their opinions known on the show's storylines that just didn't make the cut. From love triangles to unexplained plot holes, Grey's Anatomy has had its fair share of disappointing moments.
Amelia And Owen's Adoption Battle
Despite being Derek's sister and such a good doctor, Amelia never earned as much love from Grey's fans as her brother did. Most fans on the Reddit thread labeled her a drama queen especially because of how she went about her relationship with Owen. The entire adoption fight for many felt like a baseless filler storyline.
Amelia dragged Owen to the courts because she apparently loved Leo more than she hated him, only to pull out of the adoption at the end. She did it despite claiming she loved Leo and wanted to be in his life. Besides, she previously admitted she didn't want kids therefore fighting Owen for a child he single-handedly adopted just didn't make any sense.
The Entire Minnick Story
Eliza Minnick had one of the worst storylines in Grey's Anatomy which is why the character failed to click despite having such a great actor in Marika Domińczyk. Some fans think that the "Minnick saga" was a mass character assassination since it made Bailey and the other characters less likable.
Minnick was supposed to make the residency program better but her supposed innovative approach nearly ended it altogether. Everything about the character including a supposed romantic connection with Arizona ended in disaster. She disagreed with everyone and turned the ORs into war rooms destroying the very core of the show.
Izzie Dating George
There must be something really wrong with their romance if fans admit they'd rather see Izzy with Danny's ghost again than her relationship with George.
Izzie and Alex made a great couple, while George deserved some peace in his marriage to Callie, which is why it made no sense for the show to complicate the relationships.
After all those years of working together and staying professional, their sexual encounter ruined everything. The storyline proved to be even dumber when the two decided to stay as friends after discovering that they had no chemistry. The entire storyline only seemed like an excuse to break up George and Callie.
Meredith In Purgatory
The drowning scene wasn't bad in itself but getting Meredith stuck in purgatory with the likes of Dennis, Dylan, and her mother's scrub nurse didn't make any sense. Why she suddenly got so close with Dennis and Dylan when she hardly talked about them on the show when she was alive?
Interns Operating On Each Other
The "Interns practicing surgeries on one another in the basement" storyline didn't contribute to any part of the show's plot. The only excuse that Lexie gave for the whole thing was that it was the only thing she did that wasn't about George noticing her.
Surely the interns had received enough basic medical training to know better than try an appendectomy without the proper equipment and knowledge. Being frustrated by residents doesn't qualify as enough motivation for people to go suicidal. This storyline ended up doing just one thing – making the entire group of interns look reckless and dumb.
