It's been 11 years, 12 Seasons, 269 episodes. We, "Grey’s Anatomy" fans make up one of the best, most loyal fanbases. Through all the death, including McDreamy’s (still not over it), and drama, we’ve stuck around and watched as Meredith, along with the other cast members, transform and evolve into stronger, better doctors. On the Season 12 finale, aired on May 19, 2016, fans learned that the beloved Callie Torres would be leaving Seattle Grace Mercy West and heading to New York with Sofia and Penny. Here are 12 reasons why we’re going to miss Dr. Torres:
1. She actually lived--and danced--in the hospital.
2. She married George O’Malley.
3. Even though his friends didn’t like her at first.
4. She eventually realized she liked women and embraced her sexuality, despite her uncertainty at the time.
5. She had a baby with Mark AND Arizona.
6. And was a great mom.
7. She had a glorious relationship with Arizona #CALZONA.
8. She remained optimistic through the rough times.
9. She was always honest, even if it came off as being sassy sometimes.
10...and told it like it is.
11. She didn’t take anyone’s sh*t.
12. She had a sense of humor and put a smile on all our faces.
Please don’t leave, Callie!
