Grey's Anatomy: The Top 25 Characters of All Time, Ranked!

Over the course of its going-on-17 seasons of around-the-clock docs, Grey’s Anatomy has introduced what seems like as many characters as cases-of-the-week. But even among the best of the best, not all characters are created equal — or at least they certainly aren’t loved equally.

With that in mind, TVLine has taken on the daunting task of ranking the top-rated ABC drama’s all-time greatest characters, from those who only generate the occasional mild heart murmur to those who always give us rapid palpitations. Included in our countdown are, yes, the all-stars that you would not only expect, nay, demand — the doctor whose surname gives the series its title, her so-called twisted sister, the one and only “Nazi” that we would ever salute, the plucky heroine whose death scene damn near killed us…

But our Top 25 also includes a few surprises, like the relative newcomer who never fails to make of himself an adorkable “spectacle”… a passionate young doctor toward whom Meredith warmed so much that he received her first post-McDreamy “I love you”… a snarktastic jerkface whose egotism masks untold depth… and an M.D. who, based on your aprés-recaps comments, as many of you loathe as like. But hey, at least no one is ambivalent about him. (We all know that’s worse!)
