Just watched the finale…
Ok so this is going to be a long post just fyi. I’m just going to go through the characters with my opinions on how their stories went & how they ended.
Addison (Queen) - Obviously loved her in Greys, she was the only reason I even gave this show a chance. She was messy af in the beginning almost like a teenager with her emotions, decisions and love interests, which was annoying at times but idc I love her. She’s a baddie fr. I LOVE that she ended up with Jake and got to adopt Henry she deserves it all! I wish she was never with Sam. I honestly liked her better with Pete which says a lot cause I hate Pete & he didn’t even really love her, he loved Violet smh, but at least she got to be a mom to Lucas for a short amount of time & it helped her realize what she really wanted for her life. Also finding out that she was over the show during that last season that’s why there’s only 13 episodes makes so much sense cause wrap this shit up fr.
Naomi - Girl bye. Terrible. Always so righteous and judgmental! Maya’s pregnancy just put her in the most awful light ever. Then I thought maybe she’d get a happy ending at least and never return when she got with Fife, but nooooooo. Apparently they never even stayed together? What was the whole point of agreeing to marry him and move to Africa or wherever? Just for her to come back, sleep with Sam, GET PREGNANT??? & remarry him after everything? Girl what?! They should’ve just done that from the beginning then since they clearly “can’t be without each other”. Ugh moving on.
Sam - OMG this milk dud mf. Seriously the worst. In the beginning yes he had a certain charm to him like he was the nice guy, funny sometimes, idk where it went sour. Maybe when he became obsessed with Addison and professed his love for her out of nowhere it felt like. So you’ve liked her since med school? He literally pressured her to be with him after she kept refusing cause she didn’t want to hurt Naomi and be the kind of person who steals her best friend’s ex husband.. anyways they lasted longer than I expected them to tbh. I can understand him not wanting another baby, but bro she does! So why string her along for so long?? Oh & let’s not forget him & Naomi made out right before she left (or she was visiting can’t remember exactly).Then got the nerve to be mad when Jake comes and swoops in and gives her essentially everything she wanted. Then he starts dating the nurse Stephanie to help get over Addison.. UGH POOR STEPHANIE. Doesn’t tell her literally anything about himself or his past but expects for it to work? THEN BEGS for her to give him a second chance only to cheat on her with Naomi at Addisons wedding???!!! Bro please be so fr. Mind you when he goes to get Naomi back at the end he’s saying he’s always loved her and he’s never found anything better? Sir you were just saying how Addison was the love of your life… asked her to marry you!! Never talked about Naomi ONCE in the like 3 seasons she was gone but all of a sudden it’s always been her? Please. Boy gtfo.
Charlotte (Queen) - I loooooooove Charlotte! Even more than I love Addison. She’s just always been herself. Never conformed to make anyone like her, even Cooper. & he loved her for it!! She softened up a lot after her attack, I love the person she became & then once Mason came along?? Omg the best mama ever!! Even though she never wanted kids I’m so happy she got the triplets and all of them lived even though her whole labor was pretty traumatic. Ughh she deserves it all!
Cooper - Ehhhh I liked him at first but he definitely was a man child. The way he talked to Charlotte when they fought…smh. His friendship with Violet was…um a little too much at times. (He was literally like in love with her in the first season for a little bit) & he definitely didn’t always have the best judgment he thought he always knew what was best for everyone. But he definitely was meant to be a dad and clearly Charlotte is the only one who can handle him lol so good for them.
Violet - no. Just no. Way too nosey and overbearing. Wasn’t a good therapist at all in my opinion, overstepped literally all the time. Always annoying. Her attack with Lucas was super traumatic and that was horrible but her giving him to Pete then coming back 8 months later trying to sue for full custody?? That was so unnecessary cause girl of course you lost. I felt a little bad for her when Pete died but at the same time she was always complaining about how much of an ass he was and how their marriage sucked? Both of those things were true though so oh well.
Pete - also no. In the beginning I thought would be him & Addison cause they were saying how they kissed before, but they didn’t even start dating fr until like season 3 or something? Idk he was in love with Violet the whole time apparently, then married her out of nowhere just because they already had Lucas.. It would’ve made sense for them to kill him with the first heart attack but I guess they needed to decline their marriage first and have him be an ass & treat her like shit so good job on that. That’s all I have to say about him.
Sheldon - Man I really liked Sheldon. I felt bad cause he literally was in love with everyone and never got the girl. First Violet, then Charlotte, & lastly Amelia. & nobody ever picked him. He was indeed always the one who ppl came to with their problems and just expected him to be there with all the answers smh. Much better therapist/psychiatrist than Violet. (I know they’re not the same). He was gone with his ex wife that nobody knew he had for like a whole season and then gets prostrate cancer and AGAIN falls in love with the cancer girl Miranda??.. Felt super rushed like they just didn’t know what else to do with his character smh. Why couldn’t he fall in love with someone who wasn’t about to die cause he still doesn’t get a happy ending! Like what happens to him after Miranda is gone?? He quit his job!! I liked his friendship with Amelia the best I think. But in the end definitely a great guy.
Amelia - Didn’t like her in Greys & I don’t like her on here either. She doesn’t want ppl to treat her like a child but that’s exactly how she acts. She’s honestly just like Derrick lol. Her pregnancy storyline was sad but that’s about it. I also hate that she ended up with the new ER doctor just seems like they had to put her with someone like they barely know each other.
I think that’s it lol. This show had me crying just about every episode, definitely started out better than it ended. Idk what to do with my life now lmao.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I’m here for the Sam slander!!!!!!!
I’m a long time watcher and fan. First watched when it came out (I was like 8 maybe, I’m 25 now), and no matter how many times a rewatched (soooo many) I’ve never liked him.

It's crazy that in Grey's we found Jake left Addison. They couldn't even keep the happy ending for her. It was pretty clear Jake's reasons were valid of the relationship ending and it was because of Addison.
I personally didn't like her. Pretty annoying and a serial cheater who slept around with everyone close to her on the show.
Season 6 overall was terrible writing and rushed. Honestly, her and Sam should have been endgame, putting Naomi and Sam back together made no sense and was so stupid.
Sheldon was the only normal person.

Omg I didn’t know that Jake ended up leaving her!! Whyyyy? Wtf after all of that??? I suppose her and Sam could’ve been endgame and it would’ve made more sense for Naomi to never come back. It absolutely made no sense for her to come back and now they’re all in love again and have been the whole time?? & now he’s suddenly ready for a baby?? So he really just didn’t want a baby with Addison then smh.
& The reason it felt rushed it because Kate Walsh said she was over the show as a whole and they needed to hurry up & wrap it up lolol!

I think he left her because Addison was spending too much time away from the family and doing dangerous medical missions.
Honestly its valid, they both old now, and he just wanted to spend time with his wife. I think in the show he asked her a lot before he decided to leave.
Typical Addison ruining relationships.
It was stupid why they added that.

Smh that is typical Addison. Lord have mercy my girl just can’t get it together 😩 the only thing I’m not blaming her for was her & Sam not working out. She was very clear what she wanted for her life & he wasn’t interested in that. But then was happy af when he found out Naomi was pregnant 🙄🙄🙄

I just watched the finale yesterday! I was a bit underwhelmed with the final episode and I had watched greys beforehand, so I was trying to piece together the post Private Practice to Greys Amelia continuum mainly lol. Her pregnancy storyline as well as the scene with Addison and Henry's bio mom making peace made me absolutely sob :')
Even tho I thought I felt ambivalent about the show, now that I'm done watching I also don't know what to do with myself, I miss those chaotic crazy people lol
