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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
