Irish star Richard Flood in dark period of unemployment before landing Greys Anatomy big break with Dr McW – The Irish Sun

ACTOR Richard Flood found himself in a dark period of unemployment before landing his big break on Greys Anatomy.

The Dubliner, 37, will send temperatures soaring as hunky Irish heart surgeon Dr Cormac Hayes in the latest season of the hugely successful medical drama.

Its a massive turnaround for the dad-of-one who struggled to find work after his Red Rock character Garda James McKay was killed off in the old Virgin Media One soap in 2016.

Flood said: Right after Red Rock, things got a bit scary. Previously, I had a good job, it was pretty well received and I thought surely it would lead to something else.

But auditions didnt go well, the phone didnt ring. Nothing was hitting and that period was pretty scary.

I was living in Dublin, I had a family to look after. Its the nature of this work but that doesnt help when youre going through it. It was a pretty dark period for me.

Now Flood looks set to become the next George Clooney who originally got his break on ER as the new hot doc at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Introduced to viewers at the end of the mid season finale in November, fans reckon Floods Dr Hayes is a new love interest for Ellen Pompeos Meredith Grey who was previously married to Patrick Dempseys Dr McDreamy.

And despite being personally vetted by Pompeo, 50, before landing the role, Richard is careful not to give any spoilers away.

He explained: Im so new to the show, I have no idea whats coming. And its Greys Anatomy they keep their storylines top secret.

Ellen, shes the producer, shes been on it for 16 years, she is the show, its her thing so it made sense for me to meet her during the [casting process].

Richard said the straight-talking TV star is far from a diva on set.

He said: Ellens a really big deal and I was nervous to work with her. But theres something so normal and disarming about her.

I just felt like I was working with another actor who was there to do the job.

During his debut episode, viewers learned Dr Hayes had tragically lost his wife earning him the nickname, Dr McWidow.

Flood laughed: My mates think its hilarious. Patrick Dempsey was McDreamy and I get McWidow. He sounds a bit miserable by comparison.

Raised in the south Dublin suburb of Clonskeagh, Flood got his first taste of small-screen success alongside Amy Huberman and Jack Reynor in a TV adaptation of Cecelia Aherns Three Wise Women in 2010.

Landing bit parts in Titanic: Blood and Steel and Killing Kennedy with Rob Lowe, Richard scored the lead role in short-lived crime saga Crossing Lines.

And while the series was canned after only three seasons, love blossomed with Italian co-star Gabriella Pession.

Married in 2016, the couple share a five year-old son, Julio.

Currently, Richard splits his time between their home in Milan and his base in L.A. while shooting Greys Anatomy.

But spending time away from his young family is proving a difficult struggle.

He said: We live in Milan most of the time and Im flying in and out of LA and being away from them, that can be really difficult.

Im trying to find a way to manage it. With Greys, hopefully they can come out here for an extended period next year.

Whenever I get a gap in my schedule, five or six days, Im back over to Italy. I mean, its a bit of a trip but its so worth it.

And while the couple try to alternate their work schedules so one is always there for Julio, Richard admitted a recent clash in jobs left him worried for the welfare of his young son.

The newcomer said: Hes a very happy little man, very content.

But its only when Gabriella started shooting a film in Italy recently and I was over here doing Greys, there was about two weeks where he didnt see either of us which I was worried about.

But he handled it like a champ. And Gabriellas mum was there, my parents went over.

Hes surrounded all the time. Hes very happy, very safe and secure. Thats the main thing for us.

Starring in the longest-running medical drama in history 16 seasons and counting Richard is prepared for the crazy fans and paparazzi attention because Gabriella, 42 is so famous in Italy.

He explained: Shes a big star in Italy, been really famous for 20 years so its part of life for her and in turn, for us. Im not sure you get used to that kind of attention.

Its a weird thing when you have guys on the street taking your photos. But Ive learned a lot from her on how to handle it.

However, Richard has already had a taste of life in the spotlight thanks to his starring role as Garda James McKay in Red Rock.

He laughed: I remember being in the pub of Grafton Street at Christmas and people flocking over, dying to tell you how much they liked Red Rock. It was fantastic.

As I say, its a bit weird but ultimately, if everyones being nice to you, whats wrong with that.

Set to be launched into orbit on Tinseltowns A-list, Flood revealed feeling unsettled by the next George Clooney association.

He said: Ill happily take it although I think its a bit of a stretch. Im really excited by whats to come but you just dont want to get too ahead of yourself.

Its about taking it all one step at a time.

Station 19 Season Premiere With Greys Anatomy Crossover Tops Thursday; Outmatched Solid In Debut – Deadline

ABCs third-season premiere of Station 19 in its new 8 PM slot in a two-hour crossover with its flagship Greys Anatomy gave thee network the two most watched and top-rated shows in primetime Thursday.

With Greys showrunner Krista Vernoff now in charge of both shows and three more crossovers in the works this season under Vernoffs unified command, Station 19 (1.2 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, 6.98 million viewers), now at 8 PM, returned as the nights most-watched program, gaining four-tenths in the demo from its Season 2 finale in May.

It was followed by Greys (1.4, 6.65M), settling nicely into its new slot. Its demo number was even with Greys fall finale back on November 21.

In an interview with Deadline in November, Vernoff said the two shows will interconnect every few episodes. We dont want to do it every week, we dont want to create a mold, we dont want to fall into any kind of pattern, we dont want people to ever know what to expect, she said.

Also on Thursday, Fox premiered its Jason Biggs-Maggie Lawson multi-camera family comedy Outmatched (0.7, 3.23M), which rode the strong lead-in of Last Man Standing (0.8, 4.40M), the latter up a tenth compared with last week.

NBCs comedy lineup Superstore (0.7, 2.73M), the penultimate episode of The Good Place (0.6, 2.11M) and Will & Grace (0.5, 2.30M) all saw one-tenth bumps, leading into the season finale of Perfect Harmony (0.3, 1.42M), which was even in the demo and saw a slight viewer uptick. With its 13-episode first season now finished, the 20th Century Fox TV-produced series starring Bradley Whitford awaits a renewal decision which likely wont come til closer to the May upfronts.

The CWs night included Supernatural (0.2, 1.02M), down a tenth as it continues its final-season run, and Legacies (0.2, 720,000), which was even with last week.

CBS comedy lineup was in repeats, with the networks night capped by The Gayle King Grammy Special (0.3, 2.63M) ahead of Sundays Grammy Awards telecast.

Grey’s Anatomy recap: Who survives the accident at Joe’s Bar? – Entertainment Weekly News

When we last left Joes Bar outside of Grey Sloan Memorial, a car had slammed through the brick wall, flinging debris everywhere. It was a satisfying fall finale. Who will survive? Who is critically injured? Can Meredith save the day? Did Averys face get injured?

Shonda Rhimes answers these questions in a two-hour crossover event with Station 19. Its 120 minutes of flashbacks, oozing blood, drunk residents, emergency surgeries, and lots of baby talk. My butt was clenched the entire time.

Why? Because the front end of a car is teetering on a wall, threatening to fall down inside Joes Bar. Theres a bunch of rubble blocking the door. And some jackwagon left a cement truck parked right up next to the back door, preventing any of the scared and wounded from escaping.

Its fortunate that Ben and Avery are inside the bar and able to help people. Its unfortunate that all of the residents who were boozing it up are currently bleeding, screaming, or in shock. Helm, who is clearly hurt herself, orders someone to help Simms, who is clearly bleeding. Parker and Schmidt are in shock and Brody is certain they are all going to die.

Avery springs into action and barks out instructions. Schmidt turns an unconscious Simms on his side and holds his head still. Nico and Brody help assess Helms injuries as she blurts out her own diagnosis. Shes pretty sure her internal organs are bleeding and shes going to die.

Avery makes her take a few shots of whiskey, and even though its a dire situation, drunk Helm immediately becomes the comedy relief we so desperately need in this stressful situation.

Meanwhile, Ben builds a pyramid out of liquor boxes so he can see inside the car. Joan, the driver, is hysterical because her husband is dying of a heart attack, which is why she was driving like a madwoman in the first place. Ben teaches Joan how to perform CPR on her husband while Station 19 firefighters arrive on the scene.

From what I can gather, Andy and Sullivan were super into each other, but now they are not. The looks they give each other fall anywhere between shade and cold shoulder. Andy is working on moving the parked cement truck and asks Vicky how she was able to move on from her fiancs death.

She has Dr. Jackson Avery as her new lover, thats how. Vicky decides Andy should get a hot doctor, too. I hear DeLuca is free.

When Joans husband stops breathing, Ben is able to shock him back to life, thanks to supplies passed through the broken windows from the firefighters outside. Darling firefighter Montgomery wiggles his way in through the back window of the car and manages to get the husband on a gurney. Then he asks Joan to unbuckle her seatbelt so he can do the same to her.

Of course, its stuck. But never fear. Joan has scissors. She can cut it off and they can all get back home to the dog. Just as Joan pulls out the scissors, the car falls forward and the point of the scissors poke straight into Joans carotid artery. Montgomery cant save her and this devastates him to the core. Later, he and Vicky go to the couples house and feed the dog since Joans husband is having heart surgery. Im glad the key was under the front door mat and the alarm was non-existent.

Out back, Andy has called every firefighter in Seattle to come help push the cement truck out of the way. When they all come barreling through the back door, Andy is surprised to see her father is among the helpers. He berates her unit for taking so long to get there and leaves her standing in a pile of rubble.

In a flashback, we learn that Sullivan pulled away from Andy because he is nervous that if anyone finds out they are in a relationship, he wont make battalion chief and she wont make regular chief. Moreover, Andys dad thinks shes a slut (her words, not mine) because she continues to date everyone at Station 19. Bonus: Andy has no idea her dads cancer is back.

Simms is placed on a gurney and rushed out to the ambulance. Parker, who continues to ask about the bomb and if they are in the green zone, is ushered out by Schmidt as Helm continues to yell, I dont want to die! Save all the lives!

Avery: Youre not dying, Helm. Youre drunk.

A grateful Miranda reunites with Ben. Because of her miscarriage, he doesnt want her to go back to work. But she insists because shes the mother hen and two of her little chicks are in bad condition. Ben is given privileges at Grey Sloan, but Miranda makes him promise he wont go into an OR.

Miranda hides in the supply closet. Just when shes about to do that Greys Anatomy scream thing, she hears sobbing. Its Schmidt. Hes about to lose it. Together they assure each other that their friends and colleagues will not die on their watch. Meredith arrives with reinforcements in the form of Webber and Owen. Now all of Baileys chicks are under one roof!

After everyone scatters to different ORs, Ben makes Webber promise he will stick to Miranda like glue. Shes in no condition to operate and she needs someone she trusts near in case she loses it. Webber is the man for the job.

Amelia and Teddy take Parker for a CT scan. Its clear hes suffering from PTSD. Teddy wants to gab about baby stuff and Amelia stiffens. As you may recall, the little bundle of joy Amelia is carrying is more than likely going to have red hair. Fortunately, she doesnt have to have that awkward conversation because Parker is MIA. They go on a hunt around the entire hospital and eventually find him in the hyperbaric chamber.

I dont know which set is more delightful to me. The hyperbaric chamber or the room with plants in it.

Meredith starts out with Helm, who continues to diagnose herself. She also asks to scrub in for her own surgery. Hilarious. But the best part of drunk Helms monologue was when she admits she loves Dr. Grey and condemns Schmidt for getting her fired. Meredith accepts the compliment with confidence and Schmidt collapses to the floor.

All signs point to heart attack, but since hes not even 30 years old, that seems unlikely. Teddy finally figures out that he has broken heart syndrome, which is an actual medical thing. He has to be monitored.

Avery and Owen handle Simms head injury with Koracick hovering. This drives Avery crazy. Why must Koracick micromanage? My favorite part was when Brody slammed Dr. Altman for dating Dr. Koracick after he left the room. Avery rolled his eyes and broke the news to Brody that the man standing to her left is actually dating Teddy. Which begs the question: When is the wedding?

Whoops. There is no wedding date because there is no engagement ring. Hes been waiting for the right time. And we all know that time is going to be moments before Amelia tells him, Hey Owen! Youre going to be a daddy again!

On a side note, big props to the Greys Anatomy makeup department. When Avery peeled Simms face off of his own skull, I might have experienced some digestive distress. So very realistic.

Its at this point that Owen notices fluid around some blood that dropped onto the paper sheet. That means Simms brain is leaking. Koracick flies in to save the day, angry that this wasnt caught sooner.

All ends well. The surgery is a success. Avery and Owen share the good news with Simms grandmother, who wonders if Tommy did the surgery? It turns out that Koracick is not a tin man. He personally moved Simms grandmother to Seattle so they could be together. He has a heart after all! Koracick thanks Owen for the catch and rewards him with a hearty handshake.

This gives Owen all the courage he needs to run through the hospital, find Teddy, scoot her into a hospital room, and drop to one knee. Thats right. This place is as good as any to propose. He whips out a whopper of a diamond ring, but Teddy doesnt say yes right away. She doesnt want Owen to feel obligated to propose.

Of course, he doesnt feel obligated. Hes loved Teddy F-O-R-E-V-E-R and he wants to spend the rest of his life loving her. Teddy says yes and they run through the halls to tell all their medical friends the good news. They even run up to Amelia and Link just as Amelia is about to spill the beans about her baby boy. This will not end well. However, I do concur that Scout is a cute name.

Across the hospital, Helm is crashing after Link set her broken leg. Miranda and Webber rush in to figure out whats wrong and end up having to crack her chest open. It was touch-and-go for a few minutes, which led Miranda into a tailspin. She hands the scalpel to Webber and they finish the job, all while Miranda chants, You will not die. No one is dying today. Helms heart starts beating moments later.

Lets do a roll call, shall we? Helm is alive and well and has forgiven Schmidt for tattling on Meredith Grey. Check. Simms face skin has been stretched back on his skull and hes in recovery. Nice. Parker has been found and is getting the help he needs. Good. Schmidt needs a few weeks to mend his broken heart. Lovely.

Miranda, however, is not fine. Through a beautiful dialogue performed by Chandra Wilson, we feel a shred of the pain her character feels. She cant help her baby. She cant do anything but stand there and lose her. It was heartbreaking to watch Miranda weep in her mentors arms.

Speaking of babies, I am happy to report that Jo did not steal the one she found at Station 19. I can also report that I can watch Dr. McWidow hold a baby all the livelong day, which is probably going to happen since Justin Chambers is no longer on the show. I have so many questions about that situation, but thats another post for another time.

Finally, remember that guy who had a heart condition and his wife just had a baby and Maggie left him on the operating table to go quit her job? Lo and behold, the dudes heart started beating again and DeLuca is so excited, he heads straight to Maggies house to tell her.

DeLuca: You did that. You saved him.Random Lady: Maggie Pierce? Youve been served.

Maggie is being sued for wrongful death. FROM HER COUSIN. Maybe Dr. McWidow can hold her for a few minutes to make it all better.

Meredith. Alex. Bailey. The doctors are definitely in on Shonda Rhimes' hospital melodrama.

Um, Who the Hell Are Blake and Brody on Greys Anatomy? – Cosmopolitan.com

[There are spoilers ahead for last nights Grey's Anatomy. If youre not caught up, dont keep reading! I warned you.]

Last nights Greys picked up exactly where any good mid-season premiere should: In the middle of a crisis, with half the characters in a state of this is life or death. Thankfully, everyone survived, but some of the characters who *did* survive were seemingly...random? And people no one had ever heard of before?

Im talking specifically about Blake and Brody, two people whose names I had heard so few times that I had to google them while watching. Last night, Blake got an entirely new face while Brody was seriously bruised in the face department. It felt like we as audience members were really supposed to care about them, but its hard to care when you have no idea who they are! I wasnt the only one who felt that way.

If youre a Greys fan account and you have to remind people who a character is, thats a problem!

As a quick refresher, Blake is Blake Simms, who is Tom Koracicks protg or something. Truly, never heard of him! He came from Johns Hopkins with Tom, and has apparently been hanging out at Grey Sloan ever since?? IDK.

And apparently, Brody is Hannah Brody, this girl...

Shes been a resident with DeLucas class since the beginning, which, who knew!!

This isnt to shade any of these characters, obviously. Greys has always been an ensemble show, but its a little jarring when people who were very minor characters before are now treated like major characters. Either way, happy they both survived!

Film review: The anatomy of a comeback in Panga – Livemint

For such an unhurried film, Panga has a bracingly violent start. All of Bhopal is sleeping, except for Prashant (Jassie Gill), whos getting kicked by his wife, Jaya (Kangana Ranaut), in bed. These arent light kicks either. Ranaut isnt an actor given to half-measures and Id wager Gill left the set that day with more than a few bruises. Not only are the kicks satisfyingly hard, they have a certain rhythm and coil to them. Theyre athlete kicks.

Its a nice detail, because Jaya is an athlete, or at least was one. A national-level kabaddi player, she quit the sport to take care of her son, born prematurely and with low immunity. She never returned to kabaddi, working instead at a railway ticket counter and investing all her energy in her precocious school-going child and loving husband. She feels a pang now and then, but tells herself that neither her umar (age shes 32) nor kamar (waistline) would allow a return to the game.

In Ashwiny Iyer Tiwaris first film, 2016's Nil Battey Sannata, a working mother joins her daughters school so she can first learn and then tutor her in math. Panga, too, has a mother risking embarrassment for her child: once the boy learns that Jaya left kabaddi for him, he badgers his father to persuade her to make a comeback. In a montage scored with an Annu Kapoor comic number, Jaya starts training again, with the intention of giving up in a month. But when the time comes, she cant. She left kabaddi, but kabaddi never left her.

Its barely a surprise when the super-supportive Prashant an endearing, if slightly wishful, creation insists she try and make her way back to the national team. Tiwari and co-writer Nikhil Mehrohtra carefully unpeel the various levels of social indoctrination that someone like Jaya must overcome before they can follow their dreams, not only practical problems (Prashant is inept around the house) but her own guilt at what in her mind amounts to abandoning her child.

For a sports film, this is a timely idea to be grappling with (Sultan, in 2016, also dealt with it). There are more prominent Indian women athletes today than perhaps ever before, and some like Mary Kom and Sania Mirza have returned to their sports after becoming parents. But in a more general sense, the film is an empathetic look at the social cost of continuing with ones life after marriage and children. That Jaya should consider herself lucky that she actually is lucky, as shes told by several women to get to do the thing shes good at, is one of the more poignant reiterations of this film.

Nitesh Tiwari is credited with additional dialogue and screenplay, and theres a hint of Dangals unnecessary villain in the figure of national team captain, who for no reason keeps slighting Jaya. I can see why the film tries to introduce a late-stage antagonist, though; Panga is easy-going to a fault. Its not often one gets to say this about a Hindi film, but there are moments when it could really use some drama. The kabaddi isnt badly executed but because the film takes its time building to Jayas comeback, the final championship is both rushed and predictable.

After a series of high-strung, if often brilliant, performances in Rangoon, Simran, Manikarnika and Judgmentall Hai Kya, its a relief to see Ranaut play in a more down-to-earth style. Jaya is more comfortable in her skin than Rani Mehra, but Queen does come to mind: its the same homemade-sweater-wearing, chaat-eating, cautiously progressive middle-class milieu. Gill does little but look lost and smile broadly a surprisingly winsome strategy. Richa Chadha, in a very Richa Chadha role as an outspoken coach and friend of Jayas, is supremely relaxed. She even gets to do a little shout-out to her own line from Gangs of Wasseypur: Ghoor kaahe rahe ho?" The best adaptation of a famous line, though, is by a character whos there in just one scene, the doctor who tells Jaya, Ab goli kha".

Are Greys Anatomy And Station 19 Trying To Become The Next One Chicago? – CinemaBlend

After Bailey went on a firing spree in the Season 15 finale, Alex and Richard wound up moving to Pacific Northwest General, with Owen eventually making the jump from Grey Sloan Memorial to Pac-North as well. Naturally, viewers started speculating that a new series was in the works, but Greys Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff debunked that speculation in early January, saying to TVLine that while she loves hearing talk of a Pac-North series, shes not spinning it off.

Kutz introduces students to the program Anatomy of a Recession – The Campus

Alleghenys Center for Business and Economics kicked off its spring semesters lunchtime learning lecture series on at 12:15 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16,. in Quigley Hall Auditorium by welcoming Trustee John Kutz, 83, to give a presentation titled Anatomy of a Recession.

The presentation was centered on three main questions: How close could we be to the next recession? Will growth hold steady, weaken or pick up by the end of the year? What factors are most important to watch to help keep people on track?

Shannon Putnam, 20, began the lunchtime learning lecture by introducing Kutz.

While at Allegheny, (Kutz) was a double major in economics and German, and a member of Delta Tau Delta, Putnam said. After his graduation from Allegheny, (Kutz) received his MBA from the (Joseph M.) Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh.

Putnam said one of Kutzs favorite memories of Allegheny is the relationships he built with professors at the school.

Additionally, one of (Kutzs) proudest moments with Allegheny is his son, Tim, 18, carrying on his familys Allegheny legacy and finding success after graduation, Putnam said.

Like his father, Tim Kutz was a double major in economics and German, and a member of Delta Tau Delta.

Kutz began in the investment industry in 1998, and spent nearly 18 years as managing director of retirement plan services at Victory Capital Management before serving the Ohio Valley region as sales director for Legg Mason.

Kutz began his presentation by asking students and faculty in the audience to raise their hands if they knew his son.

I am very proud of him, Kutz said, (Tim) is killing it, and that is what happens when you have a great liberal arts education from Allegheny College.

Kutzs presentation focused on capital markets and reviewed where the United States economy stands, relative to a possible recession.

However, Kutz first introduced the audience to Legg Masons program, Anatomy of a Recession.

(Anatomy of a Recession) is a program we update on a monthly basis to the extent that the variables that we will cover that tend to foreshadow economic change, Kutz said.

Kutz first asked audience members if they knew the definition of recession, before explaining that recession is two consecutive quarters of GDP decline.

We are trying to do whatever we can in this economy to avoid a recession, Kutz said. This is why we created (Anatomy of a Recession).

Kutz continued by defining the vocabulary terms, market crash and pullback.

A market crash is defined as a decline in the market by more than 20%, and it is a duration of more than a year, Kutz said.

Kutz said that the U.S. has experienced six market crashes since the 1960s. All, except for one, of these market crashes resulted in a recession.

Declines in the market that are fewer than 20% and last less than a year are considered pullbacks, according to Kutz.

Market crashes are nearly three times more likely to result in a recession, Kutz said. Market crashes and recessions go hand-in-hand.

Kutz explained that the U.S. is in the 11th year of a full market coming out of the financial crisis. Kutz also mentioned that the recovery from the financial crisis of the early 2000s has been shallow compared to other recession recoveries the U.S. has had since World War II.

As a result, businesses and consumers dont feel good about this recovery, Kutz said. There is a myth that because (the U.S.) is so long into this economic cycle this is what you are hearing on television it has to come to an end, and that is not the case whatsoever.

Countries such as Canada and Japan have experienced much longer economic cycles, according to Kutz.

Time is not a reason for an economic expansion to stop, Kutz said.

Kutz also discussed what is referred to as the recession-risk dashboard, which is comprised of four main pillars.

The first of these four pillars is financial indicators.

(Financial indicators) tend to be the first to weaken when our economy starts to go into a downturn, Kutz said.

In addition to financial indicators, the pillars also include inflation variables and the consumer sector. Finally, the fourth pillar is business activity.

Using a stoplight analogy, Kutz described the U.S. economy in terms of red, yellow and green. Kutz labeled the current U.S. economy as yellow, meaning cautionary. Red is used to mark a recessionary economy, and green an expansionary.

(The recession-risk dashboard) was designed to give investors and consultants ample time to act, Kutz said. (The economy) doesnt flip overnight from green to yellow to red. There is a time horizon that should allow people to do things within their portfolio to take the risk out of their portfolio.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Fans Agree This Was Meredith Grey’s Worst Love Interest – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Greys Anatomyhas redefined the way we view relationships. Whether it is just a friendship, or it is something more romantic, this show made us believe in love again and gave us hope that somewhere out in the world, there is someone out there that we could call our person.

Throughout all of the fantastic relationships that this show has showcased, there has been one major relationship that fans did not like at all. The relationship happened a long time ago, however, because it involved the shows most beloved character, Meredith Grey, fans are still having a hard time getting over the disastrous couple. So, who was Meredith Greys worst love interest? Keep reading to find out.

Throughout the shows 14-year run, Meredith Grey has had several different romantic interests. However, as far as the fans are concerned, none of relationships can compare to the intensely dramatic relationship that she had with Dr. Derek Shepherd.

On the show, the two doctors had their fair share of ups and downs. At first, their on-again, off-again relationship drove fans crazy. And once they finally got together for good, fans were put on an emotional roller coaster.

They had to watch the couple deal with the heartbreak of unsuccessfully trying to have a baby, the joyous occasion when they adopted their daughter, several close calls when they each almost lost their lives, and then finally when Meredith was by Dereks sideas he passed away.

Throughout the good times and the bad, fans would faithfully tune into the show every week just to watch the charisma and magnetism that these two characters had together.

And even though Derek passed away in season 11, fans have still not been able to get over his death and many are still hoping that the writers of the show will decide to bring Derek back and write off the whole death scene as just a bad dream.

Out of all of the people Meredith Grey has been with on the show, it was her romantic relationship with her best friend, and former roommate, George OMalley, that really left fans asking why?

Since the beginning, it had been no secret that George was in love with Meredith. However, back then, Meredith only had eyes for Dr. McDreamy (Derek Shepherd).

In Season 2, when Derek Decided to try to work things out with his estranged wife, Meredith was understandably feeling very depressed and heartbroken. Instead of turning on a rom-com and eating a pint of Ben and Jerrys, Meredith decided to have a one-night stand with her roommate who was very much in love with her.

She obviously did not feel the same way about George as he did about her, which is what made their sex scene so incredibly awkward and heartbreaking. Meredith ended up crying during their intimate scene and it left George feeling horrible about the whole thing and it caused him to move out of the house.

There were some fans who thought thatGeorge and Merediths disastrous sexual encounter was an important part of the showand needed to happen in order to strengthen the plot. However, the majority of fans felt that this particular plot twist was unnecessary.

George OMalley is a fun and likable character, and there arent many fans who dispute that fact. For the most part, fans really liked George,, they just hated the fact that Meredith was ever with him romantically.

On a recentReddit post,one fan had ranked Meredith Greys love interests from best to worst. At the top of the list was Derek Shepherd. At the very bottom of the list, the fan had typed in George OMalleys name.

Another Reddit user, who had obviously agreed with the list, except for on one point, had said: George wasnt a love interest [by the way], he was a tough in the matrix.
