There’s going to be a lot of talk going on in Grey’s Anatomy fan circles over the manner of Alex Karev’s exit from the show. His act of leaving Jo for Izzie will definitely count as one of the worst things he’s done, while opening up discussion over other characters’ departures.
Due to this, it’s worth taking a look at how the audience felt when previous main characters took their leave, and we’ve compiled just the list for this. Here, we’ve taken everything from departures that weren’t permanent to character demises as an “exit,” as we rank the ten best Grey’s Anatomy has had so far.
10 Callie Torres
It was always going to end on a hopeful note rather than a definitive one where Callie was concerned, and we got just that. It was also clear that she wasn’t really going anywhere in life in Seattle, so moving her over to a new city was just what she needed.
With a fresh relationship her way and Callie finally having a clear head over things, she had a good sendoff away from the show to new prospects. We did find her backtracking to Arizona rather anticlimactic, which takes away from her original departure just a bit.
9 April Kepner
Like the case was with Callie, April was another character who had just seen far too much to endure more, and it was high time she pursued her religion and be with a man who would never hurt her, even if she had hurt him before.
After solving her crisis of faith, overcoming her depression, and getting married once more, the only logical move was to send April away from the hospital, as the place represented her old life filled with loss. It was a bit too easy of a move by Shonda Rhimes to bring in her old flame, but April did have a worthy departure.
8 Denny Duqette
There have been multiple exits where Denny’s concerned, and we’ll be considering all of them for this list as each carried significant meaning. While he did die for his exit to come about, his death resulted in Izzie and Alex growing closer, making it count for something.
After that, Denny’s “spirit” was able to give closure to Meredith and Izzie over their wants in life, pushing them both toward Derek and Alex, respectively. It speaks volumes how a person could have such an impact after death, and fans mainly have a sense of closure when thinking of Denny.
7 George O’Malley
It’s too bad that George left the show in the first place, as he was one of the best characters going at the time. Despite this, we have to agree that his death was not only a heartbreaking one, it gave him a fitting sendoff.
George died like a true hero by saving the life of another person, and the final shot of his spirit looking at Izzie’s while standing outside the elevator is one that hasn’t been surpassed by any other character.
6 Addison Montgomery
She had her full ending over at Private Practice; however, Addison still had a great departure from Grey’s Anatomy. That would be because we saw her ride off in the sunset to a new group of friends who were going to be there for her.
It wasn’t the kind of backdoor pilot where Addison’s life was in shambles, as she was seen determined to pick herself up from her days in Seattle. It was a refreshing change to see Addison in a hopeful light, something that we’re glad the character had in her final appearance as a series regular.
5 Teddy Altman
Sure, Teddy came back years later and is now a series regular once more, but that doesn’t mean her original exit doesn’t count as a departure. It’s a shame her character was brought back, as Teddy had a good farewell that had seen her part with Owen as friends while looking to move on from her husband’s death.
Since she’d already experienced quite a lot of heartbreak, it was good to see Teddy step away from all the drama to start over. There wasn’t much hoopla surrounding this departure, and the casualness with which it was handled was what made it so memorable.
4 Nathan Riggs
Some are sour over how Riggs and Meredith’s love story was cut short in favor of letting him go, but this happens to be one of the best aged exits since we realize that he’d accomplished all he’d wanted to.
Riggs got the clarity that he was supposed to be with Megan Hunt, with the two becoming a real family when the latter’s son was reunited with them. Having moved over to L.A. to start anew, and with Riggs having reconciled with Owen previously, he got a truly happy ending.
3 Mark Sloan
He sadly passed away due to a tragic accident, yet Mark was completely willing to embrace his demise, and the audience was with him in this decision. After all, seeing as Lexie had passed away, there really was no option but to let Mark go as well.
This has led fans to accept that the two were star crossed lovers and that they are together in some way now. Since Mark was such a womanizer, having him leave the show as a living character would’ve led speculation that he was back to his debauchery; his death was confirmation that he was with Lexie forever, and that’s a much better ending.
2 Preston Burke
For this one, we’ll be considering Burke’s final appearance as his exit, which was where we caught up with where he was in life and where he intended to go. It was great to see him feeling fulfilled with a wife and lovely children to complete him.
Making his exit so great was how we saw Burke undergo a significant character development as he chose to let go of his hospital in favor of giving his spouse a life close to her home, signifying how he figured out that work wasn’t everything after all.
1 Cristina Yang
Proving that she didn’t need a relationship to define who she was, Cristina’s departure went completely according to her characterization. It would’ve been a shoehorned exit had she suddenly gotten together with an ex like Burke, and undermined how, for Cristina, being the best at her work was what mattered.
It was made out to be a big deal that she was leaving, yet there was also never a need to add in a tragic twist to the angle to justify her departure, making it as if it were a part of life. Not only was it a complete exit, it even left out room for a potential return in the future.
