Fave Grey's Anatomy Characters Ranked

Jan 29, 2017

Every week, you anxiously watch the TV on Thursday nights, anticipating this week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy. As the winter season returns this week, Shonda is sure to have us on the edge of our seats. This is the ultimate list of the top Grey’s characters of all time.

1. McSteamy

If this wasn’t the obvious first choice, I don’t know what is. Derek epitomizes perfection; handsome and successful…did I mention handsome? His death was one of the most unexpected moments in Grey’s history and it is still traumatizing to watch the hospital go on without him.

2. McDreamy

His iconic smirk, flirty attitude, and bad boy image made him the doctor everyone loved to hate. Grey’s fans never knew who Mark’s next romantic interest was going to be, although pretty much everyone loved the Lexi/Mark pair the best.

3. Lexi Grey

Despite facing opposition from fans and Seattle Grace staff, Lexi fulfilled our hopes for an outgoing female character. It was hard to hate her gentle approach and beautiful appearance. Besides being Mark’s angel, she was also famously involved with Jackson.

4. Jackson Avery

Okay maybe I lied when I said that Mark and Derek were some of the most lovable men on Grey’s. Jackson’s sparking blue eyes and advanced surgical talent were by far the most enviable traits of all the Grey’s characters. The old saying proves true as he gets even better with time.

5. Alex Karev

Alex, Alex, Alex. The original bae. Week after week, it seemed like he was always in a new predicament but found his way out. To be honest, Karev could be higher on the list if he hadn’t wasted his time with Izzie.

6. Bailey

Miranda is the most empowering figure on Grey’s, without a doubt. As a woman of color, petite in size, and being a fuller figure, she proved that being judged on what you did would far surpass the superficial qualities. Combined with her sass and all-knowing attitude, Bailey inspired many girls watching that it was cool to be smart and feisty.

7. Christina

I might have cried more after Christina left the show than when other characters tragically died. Her dead pan attitude yet driven personality were admirable and she came up with iconic “You are my person” phrase. Christina and Meredith’s friendship was the goal: to be able to have impromptu dance parties, wine in bed, and good cry sessions.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
