I see a lot of people pissed off at Grey’s right now. As an OG and Alex and Izzie lover.... I can’t say I am too upset. HOWEVER, I get the hate. I love Jo too, it’s shitty what Alex did with the letters.....does it ruin him to me? No. He’s a perfectly imperfect human. He found out he had kids, and he chose to stay and raise them. Isn’t that something Alex would do? Have we not seen him fall more and more in love with kids and their lives as the time has gone on?? Alex did, in fact, say this was about the kids. If it were just Izzie and Jo, he would pick Jo....but it’s not. This being said... I have seen a ton of Shonda hate. Krista hate, even Katherine H hate. What I have not seen is Justin hate. Why not? Look, I am the first to say that no actor is beholden to his fans or to a role or should not choose his own, actual life ahead of that characters.......but what else could be done aside from killing him? I mean... he was just gone. BOOM. How much notice did the writers even get? We, the fans... got NOTHING. It was like., I’m leaving.....wait... I’m already gone. You saw the last of me. See ya. That was that. I didn’t want Alex Karev to be killed. I just didn’t. If he didn’t die, what else could they have done? He wouldn’t just up and leave Jo and Mer and all he’s known for 16 years without there being one hell of a reason. I think 5 yr old twins is one hell of a reason.........I think the writers did the best they could given the circumstances. This stuff happens all the time. behind the scenes drama dictates on-screen stories all the time,......Truth be told, had KH not done her deal back in season 6, Alex and Izzie would have been together. We would have seen these twins from day 1. I will miss Alex greatly. I hated him and then I loved him. I grew with him, I cried with him, I was happy for him.... I’ll miss him. As for Justin, I think he gave them am impossible situation and gave the fans not enough of a farewell, but these were his choices, we all just have to learn to live with it. Of course, I wish nothing but the best for him and want only good and happy things. He brought to life a man that I adored and loved and was in my life since 2005. May he find all the happiness and success!
