The Best And Worst Characters In 'Grey's Anatomy'

My personal analysis of the best and worst characters seen on 'Grey's Anatomy.'

ABC show Grey's Anatomy is nearing the end of its 14th season, and throughout the years, there have been some truly iconic characters. But, there has also been some truly awful characters that viewers did not love. While everyone has different opinions on the characters - here are the characters I think are the best and worst from the Grey's Anatomy. Do you agree with me? Share this with your friends and discuss!

If you're not caught up with the show, there may be some spoilers ahead - so read with caution.


Best: Miranda Bailey.

Miranda Bailey is best known for her iconic speeches in the most necessary circumstances. She is also Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital's first female chief of surgery. Dr. Bailey is the definition of girl power and we should all worship at her feet.



Worst: George O'Malley.

Some viewers adore George. I am not one of them. I thought his character was overall annoying, not that great at being a doctor, and liked to make his life seem more miserable than it really was.


Best: April Kepner.

April has been on the show since season 6 and has made quite the impact. All the girls were jealous of her when she married Dr. Avery, who is both a true hottie and surgical royalty, and all the girls were heartbroken for her when she lost her first baby. Through her obstacles and her Christian faith, she is a character that millions of viewers relate to.


Worst: Teddy Altman.

Teddy is a debatable character, but at the end of the day, I had to put her on the naughty list. While she's absolutely gorgeous, she did attempt to breakup Cristina and Owen's marriage and didn't appreciate the value of Mark Sloan trying to have an actual relationship with her. Therefore, I cannot respect her.


Best: Cristina Yang.

Would it even be a list of the best Grey's characters if Cristina was not on it? She basically picked her specialty as an intern and was by far the best resident in her year. She and Meredith were best friend goals and she went through her fair share of hard times. If you weren't heartbroken when she left the show - you are lying.


Worst: Izzy Stevens.

From cutting Denny's LVAD wires to sleeping with a married man to leaving Alex, Izzy was easily one of the worst characters on the show. According to sources close to the cast, the actress herself was not popular amongst the cast and crew.


Best: Lexie Grey.

LEXIE DESERVED BETTER. Being crushed to death by an airplane engine in the middle of the woods right as Mark decided to tell her that he still loves her? Seriously? She was a great resident, a great sister, and a great daughter and she deserved better. We deserved more Lexie.


Worst: Reed Adamson.

This character was annoying, thought she was smarter than she was, and was rude to the other residents for no reason. Granted, she did suffer an untimely and tragic death, but that doesn't excuse how awful her character was before then.


Best: Mark Sloan.

McSteamy was a hilarious, charming, witty character that brought a comical element to the show in every scene he had. He came into the show on an iffy note (as Derek's best friend who slept with his wife), but quickly became a fan favorite due to his sparkling personality. If there is a real-life version of Mark Sloan, I would like to find him.


Worst: Preston Burke.

There are not enough words in the world for me to explain all the reasons why I don't like Dr. Burke. He left Cristina at the alter, he was pretentious, and he was just not a very sociable character. It was hard to root for him when he only had one friend, who was also his intern, who was also his girlfriend.



Best: Derek Shepherd.

My world stopped turning the day that McDreamy died. His sudden death was heartbreaking and his narration of the entire situation only rubbed salt in the wound. He was an amazing surgeon, and an even more amazing husband/father. This "Neuro God" was by far the best and most attractive character to ever step foot on this show, and I will never forgive Shonda Rhimes for thinking it was ever necessary to kill him.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
