Forget all about Meredith Grey. Grey's Anatomy is all about our favorite attending, Alex Karev. His character development is an amazing journey that we witnessed since he was a douche in season one. He's been through crazy girlfriends and a hectic work life, but still manages to be there when someone needs help. Here's why I think he's the star of our beloved show.
1. He became Meredith's person after Cristina left.
2. His relationship with Izzie shows that underneath that mean exterior, Alex has the capacity to love someone.
3. He cares for cute, sick children and babies.
4. Alex learned to forgive his estranged father and stayed by his side until his death.
5. He brought sick kids over from Africa.
6. He turned down a fellowship from John Hopkins and quit private practice to help Arizona out when she needed him.
