Greys Anatomy 5 Characters Who Have Grown A Lot (& 5 Who Havent)

There have been so many amazing characters on Grey’s Anatomy, which really is to be expected as the medical drama has been on air now for an impressive 15 years. Even more amazingly is that it still remains popular and continues to highlight sensitive topics, while making the doctors essential to the storylines.

Almost every character in Grey’s Anatomy, past and present, has brought something new to the show. Some started off as fairly annoying and then developed over time to become fan-favorite surgeons. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true, and some originally loveable characters simply declined in popularity over time.

10 Has Grown – Miranda Bailey

In all fairness, Miranda Bailey was a pretty awesome character right from the start of the series, what with her no-nonsense attitude and her hilarious one-liners (no one will forget ‘vajayjay’ in a hurry). However, the character could still be improved as she wasn’t too friendly initially.

In Season 1, Bailey basically acted as the boss of the original interns. She did display her kinder side on occasion but it was in the next season that she truly got a chance to shine, what with her giving birth to her son, helping Meredith with her break up, and supporting Cristina through her ectopic pregnancy.

9 Hasn’t Grown – Derek Shepherd

Derek Shepherd was one half of Grey’s Anatomy’s most beloved couple. He and Meredith shared amazing chemistry together and were quite often supportive of each other. In Season 1, Derek seemed like the perfect man. He was charming, intelligent, funny and he made Meredith feel loved.

Unfortunately, this all came crashing down with the revelation that he was married to Addison Montgomery, leading to him and Meredith breaking up. While they did get back together, Derek wasn’t afraid to display his more selfish and volatile side on more than one occasion throughout the series.

8 Has Grown – Meredith Grey

Arguably, we could claim that all long-running interns on the show have grown, due to their surgical skills improving with each season. This is definitely true of Meredith, who went from getting lost in the hospital, to winning the Catherine Fox Award. However, she also made a lot of progress in her personal life.

In the beginning, Meredith was, in her own words, ‘dark and twisty inside’ due to having a strained relationship with her parents. Originally, she was afraid of getting into a committed relationship, let alone getting married and having not one, but three children. Mer has really done well for herself.

7 Hasn’t Grown – Maggie Pierce

Maggie Pierce is not a bad character, but she’s not exactly a great one either. When she was first introduced in Season 10 as Meredith’s second secret half-sister, she was chatty and approachable but also formidable and incredibly intelligent. She could be annoying at times but her other qualities canceled that out.

Sadly, as the show progressed, Maggie became more irritating, and less fun to watch. The love triangle between her, Meredith and Nathan Riggs was just terrible to watch as Maggie fussed over everything. Even when she was in happy relationships, she overthought everything, much to everyone’s annoyance.

6 Has Grown – Mark Sloan

Mark Sloan began life on the show as a bit of an antagonist. It was revealed that he was Derek’s former best friend who had slept with his wife, leading Derek to come to Seattle to start anew. To say there was no love lost between the two men was a slight understatement. He also liked to sleep around.

While he rubbed almost everyone up the wrong way in his first few seasons, he began to mellow, first when he became friends with Callie Torres, but mainly when he patched up his friendship with Derek. With the two guys friends again, their bromance was hilarious and adorable, leading to some brilliant conversations.

5 Hasn’t Grown – Teddy Altman

In Teddy Altman’s first stint on Grey’s Anatomy, she actually improved, and it was glorious. She arrived at Owen Hunt’s bequest halfway through Season 6 and immediately got involved in a love triangle with him and Cristina. However, she overcame that and got involved with Henry, as well as becoming part of a comedic duo with Cristina.

Unfortunately, when she returned in Season 14, she got embroiled in another love triangle between Owen and Amelia, and then Owen and Tom. There was no point to Teddy anymore, other than to provide storylines for other male characters

4 Has Grown – Callie Torres

Callie first appeared on the medical drama as a potential love interest for George O’Malley, who had just been brutally rejected and hurt by his longtime crush, Meredith. Desperate to move on, George started dating Callie, who had previously shown an interest. Unfortunately, Callie was very annoying initially.

Happily, though, when she and George finally admitted defeat after 3 seasons of cringe, Callie realized that she was bisexual, and became an LGBTQ+ icon. As Callie began to embrace her sexuality, she became more confident and knew what she wanted. As a result, she became one of the show’s most loved characters.

3 Hasn’t Grown – Catherine Avery

Catherine Avery is a difficult character to pin down. Quite often, fans aren’t sure whether they love her or hate her, and most times, it’s both. Catherine is Jackson’s mother and the leader of the Catherine Fox foundation and so she is very confident but this does mean she can be overbearing at times.

She is incredibly opinionated, and never backs down, even when she probably should. The annoying thing about Catherine is that as soon as you think that she’s made a breakthrough, and actually learned from one of her mistakes, it isn’t long before she’s done something even worse, creating more unnecessary drama.

2 Has Grown – Alex Karev

Ignoring the most recent turn of events involving Alex ditching his wife and best friend for his ex-wife who left him over 10 years ago (because it is so insanely stupid), Alex’s character development has been absolutely phenomenal. Originally, he was an incredibly misogynistic jerk way back in Season 1.

Due to his bad attitude, literally everyone hated him at the beginning. However, over the course of the series, Alex began to chill out and recognized that his behavior was not doing him any favors. He struck up friendships with Mer and Cristina and had great role models in Arizona Robbins and Bailey.

1 Hasn’t Grown – Owen Hunt

No one has any idea what happened to this army doctor. When he first appeared in Season 5, Owen was cool, calm, self-assured and while he did occasionally rub people up the wrong way, he did apologize when he realized he was wrong. His relationship with Cristina was also popular among fans and critics.

However, as soon as Cristina left Grey’s Anatomy, Owen became a completely different person. He is rude, selfish and arrogant, and isn’t willing to see anything from other characters’ points of view. He turned into a moody doctor and now can’t hold onto a relationship for more than a few seconds.
