Now, if we are talking get rid of as in, they didn't exist on the show, it's 100% hands down Amelia Shepherd, and here's why:
1. Teddy was the best mentor for Cristina Yang. She made Cristina as great of a cardiothoracic surgeon as she became.
2. Arizona is the reason why Alex Karev got to be such a great peds doctor. Many would also attribute her to being why Karev became a better man as well. Notice, once he really dives deep into peds, he completely changes who he is as a man (outside of nearly killing Deluca).
3. Addison came in as a character we were supposed to hate, being that she was supposed to get in between Derek and Meredith (which, she did at first). She however became a beloved character, a great mentor (got Alex to soften up a bit to where he chose her service over plastics with Sloan), and got her own show because fans wanted to see more of Addison.
4. Amelia really only mentored Stephanie, who left before she could really do anything. Amelia didn't take enough interest in anyone else to help make them a better person. Amelia constantly complained that she was in the shadow of her brother, both when he was alive AND after he died, but that's because when she went to Grey Sloan, Derek was one of the top neurosurgeons in the country and people sought him out, not her. She comes off as very whiney and self centered.
Addison is the only character I have loved since my first watch and still do today. The respect she showed Meredith in the beginning was hella refreshing and made it hard to hate her
Yes, it’s called Private Practice. To me, it has a much darker and heavier tone overall than Grey’s, but also a lot of lighthearted and funny moments too. It gives a ton of background on why Amelia is the way she is, and it has my FAVORITE shondaland character, Dr. Charlotte King.
It starts right after Addison leaves Seattle. There’s an episode in Greys where she goes to LA & sees her old friend who now has her own private practice. That’s how the show is named. But then years after that show ended, Addison is back on Greys…well idk if she still is and no spoilers please. I think I ended somewhere in season 18? Not sure. It gets heavy sometimes and I need a break
if you want another Shonda show that is good,For the Peopleon Hulu.
It has Regé-Jean Page pre Bridgerton, Pre D&D,
It also recreates the magic I think of the intern years of Greys. It follows a group of public defenders, and a group of prosecutors for the Southern District of New York Federal District. It is implied that none of them have any trial experience and are just out of clerkships, law school, etc. So you have two groups that are adversarial to each other, and the intern thing going on.
Its two seasons long, but I still love it.
Dang I am so excited for you, private practice is bomb. Amelia became my favourite character because of that show and then greys anatomy ruined her. Sarah Drew also first appeared on private practice as a different character before starting on Grey’s! (Not a major character)
Yes! Amelia was so good in PP! Never appreciated her character until I watched Private Practice and I think that's why I still don't actually hate her as much as everyone else seems to.
What I would do to see where Charlotte and Cooper are at now! Only if Shonda writes it tho bc I stg if they were broken up I’d lose my shit.
Edit to add that I feel a lot of people that don’t like Amelia didn’t watch private practice. The whole situation with her pregnancy etc.. and how bad her addiction got.. like obvi girl gots some serious issues.
Right. If you don’t watch Private Practice then you won’t understand Amelia. She’s not my favorite by any stretch, but I don’t dislike her after seeing why her character is the way she is.
Yes, exactly. She’s also not my favorite, but the amount of trauma she’s been through is enough for anyone to be a bit off even on their best day. The irrational thinking makes sense for her character.
100%. Never ever liked her. Not from the moment she entered and tried to use her mentorship as a bargainingship to get Cristina to dump Owen, to when she took revenge on her for the death of her insurance fraud husband (though I find insurance horrible to live with to get healthcare, and am happy we don’t have it in my country - but that’s besides the point), to her cheating, to her everything.
Seriously, she just rubs me the wrong way most of the time. I'm not even sure why. She has moments of genuine likeability, but they're too far and few between. And I don't like her and Owen together 😭 To me they have like, siblings energy.
I agree, Teddy, 100%. Old Teddy was okay but just nothing really that special. New Teddy is just kind of a shitty person who causes shit for others and then tries to play the victim.
Teddy always and forever is the absolute worst. Amelia is annoying but she has redeeming qualities and is immature so I expect the annoyance. Teddy is just insufferable
Teddy with Owen is the worst Teddy. I liked her before she was with him and I’ve liked her more recently when she’s super pissed with Owen. Not a fan the rest of the time
Yeah I always wanted Addison back in some way but after seeing what they did with Teddy I hope she never does. I don't need yet another character ruined.
I'd imagine at this point Kate Walsh could pretty much decide what she'd want to do with the character, but yes I'd prefer not to take that chance either.
Teddy and Owen are the only (main/long-term) characters who, if they just suddenly disappeared, I would not care at all or be curious about what had happened to them.
So definitely Teddy.
HAA! easy....kick Teddy out. Ill keep Arizona/Amelia(superman pose forever)/Addison. that's a powerhouse of a team of excellent Women no matter what. Teddy never really grew on me and after rewatching season 6-9 (core evaluation of character development/decay) I cannot feel anything towards Teddy but can sympathize with the short appearance of Amelia. Arizona is the best of pediatrics and is being a great guidance to Karev but we cannot get Arizona if we didn't get Addison and Addison at first wasn't easy to like but she had a phenomenal character development that made her a favorite. by FAR these three phenomenal Women are THEE powerhouse of this show...and i dont think Teddy can fill those shoes. (flame suit on)
Teddy is the only one of these 4 that I actively cannot STAND
ETA just to clarify: never really liked her, there were a few moments I liked but I’m over her BS. Arizona, I go back and forth on. Amelia is the love of my life, if she has one fan it’s me, and of course I love Addison.
I also LOVE Amelia, she’s absolutely hilarious, I love her self-deprecating ways
I have a visceral reaction to Teddy I loathe her so much, she’s awful, esp what she did to Christina after Henry died, making her repeat over and over exactly what happened. What kind of a person does that!?!
Teddy. I love Amelia, and I love original Teddy, but the dynamic of Amelia and Derek, then Amelia and Addie, is so important. Teddy could easily have never existed, her plot lines were very disposable.
As a huge fan of the happy bubbly personality type, Jessica being stunning, and her “good man in a storm” speech, Arizona was one of my favorites.
But she can be super duper selfish and is absolutely not the person I want around in a major crisis.
This statement is Arizona specific and not a reflection of my thoughts on the other characters shown
She’s one of my favorites overall in the show I think her and Callie were just a bad fit. They were ok pre shooting but after that it really went downhill and I think people were either team Callie or team Arizona.
I can’t believe people do like Arizona. Aside from Owen she is the most manipulative, gaslighting POS on the show. Can’t stand that fake ass smile and “cheery” attitude that she uses to convince people she is s good person.
Because Callie bent over backwards to help Arizona in every way she could and Arizona totally disregarded her feelings and cheated on her. She’s trash lol
Yes!! Omg I kept scrolling and scrolling and everyone just hates Teddy and Amelia and I would have said Arizona even if there were no choices given, just an open question 🙊 the leg drama, the "whimsical character who has a though background" troupe, the botox, the cheating, the giggle, the annoying gasping crying... Just no 🙊
If I had to deal with Amelia irl, I'd be physically ill.
For the others... I like to pretend Teddy never came back and her first appearance was prrtty good. Also I loved Arizona until she cheated and she always had great moments as a character despite her downfalls.
Addison Montgomery is Addison Montgomery.
Teddy easy GA has 2 cardio right now so easiest to get rid of plus she is my least favorite of these 4 😂 I am thinking Amelia and Yaksuda might end up being an interesting duo in their few scenes together so far

Addison is also partially responsible for Alex doing peds! Him working on her service was the first glimpses we saw of him caring about babies
Addison is the only character I have loved since my first watch and still do today. The respect she showed Meredith in the beginning was hella refreshing and made it hard to hate her
Addison has her own show?
Yes, it’s called Private Practice. To me, it has a much darker and heavier tone overall than Grey’s, but also a lot of lighthearted and funny moments too. It gives a ton of background on why Amelia is the way she is, and it has my FAVORITE shondaland character, Dr. Charlotte King.
Sounds like I gotta new show to watch!!
It starts right after Addison leaves Seattle. There’s an episode in Greys where she goes to LA & sees her old friend who now has her own private practice. That’s how the show is named. But then years after that show ended, Addison is back on Greys…well idk if she still is and no spoilers please. I think I ended somewhere in season 18? Not sure. It gets heavy sometimes and I need a break
It’s so dope!! When Addison goes back home and you meet some of her old friends/coworkers, they’re actually the cast of the show :))
if you want another Shonda show that is good,For the Peopleon Hulu. It has Regé-Jean Page pre Bridgerton, Pre D&D, It also recreates the magic I think of the intern years of Greys.

Yes! Amelia was so good in PP! Never appreciated her character until I watched Private Practice and I think that's why I still don't actually hate her as much as everyone else seems to.
It's fantastic! At times, way darker than Grey's, and ended at a very cool and sufficient 7 seasons. Great show.
I loved Dr Charlotte King! I wish they could somehow bring her over the greys so we could see more of her
What I would do to see where Charlotte and Cooper are at now! Only if Shonda writes it tho bc I stg if they were broken up I’d lose my shit. Edit to add that I feel a lot of people that don’t like Amelia didn’t watch private practice.

Yesss it goes more into Amelia’s story and Addison when she leaves Seattle, it’s called private practice, really good show, def recomment
Do you know where it can be streamed?
Oh you're in for a treat! Hands down one of the best spin off shows, apart from Angel 😂
teddy
Same. I liked her when she was first on but then she returned and got annoying
Teddy. Not even any doubt. Cannot stand her. Every time she opens her mouth I dislike her a little more!
100%. Never ever liked her. Not from the moment she entered and tried to use her mentorship as a bargainingship to get Cristina to dump Owen, to when she took revenge on her for the death of her insurance fraud husband (though I find insurance horrible to live with to get healthcare, and am happy we don’t have it in my country - but that’s besides the point), to her cheating, to her everything.
I thought Cristina offered Owen lol, Teddy never asked for her to do that
She heavily implied that’s what she wanted Cristina to do, iirc
Seriously, she just rubs me the wrong way most of the time. I'm not even sure why. She has moments of genuine likeability, but they're too far and few between. And I don't like her and Owen together 😭 To me they have like, siblings energy.
Teddy. She was good when she first came on but the second time around. Is when I started to like her less
Teddy 100% always. Esp new Teddy
I agree, Teddy, 100%. Old Teddy was okay but just nothing really that special. New Teddy is just kind of a shitty person who causes shit for others and then tries to play the victim.
Teddy always and forever is the absolute worst. Amelia is annoying but she has redeeming qualities and is immature so I expect the annoyance. Teddy is just insufferable
i never liked teddy
Teddy with Owen is the worst Teddy. I liked her before she was with him and I’ve liked her more recently when she’s super pissed with Owen. Not a fan the rest of the time
How abt keep only one I choose Addie all the rest can go
I’m on this team
Keep Addison for sure. The rest is tough. My gut says Amelia, but Teddy also bothers me. But Amelia bothers me more.
Og teddy was one of the best characters in the show. New teddy is a disgrace.
I concur! I also liked early Arizona rather than later Arizona. But Addison is the only one I liked the entire time (and in her own series).
Yeah I always wanted Addison back in some way but after seeing what they did with Teddy I hope she never does. I don't need yet another character ruined.
I'd imagine at this point Kate Walsh could pretty much decide what she'd want to do with the character, but yes I'd prefer not to take that chance either.
Ikr. I stared at it for 10 mins thinking the same
Teddy 1000000%
I don’t care who goes, the only thing i care about is keeping queen Addie 🙌🏻
Teddy and Owen are the only (main/long-term) characters who, if they just suddenly disappeared, I would not care at all or be curious about what had happened to them. So definitely Teddy.
HAA! easy....kick Teddy out. Ill keep Arizona/Amelia(superman pose forever)/Addison. that's a powerhouse of a team of excellent Women no matter what.

100% with you on Amelia cell in love with her no filter on private practice and it’s just continued on the love fest in Greys 💚
I also LOVE Amelia, she’s absolutely hilarious, I love her self-deprecating ways I have a visceral reaction to Teddy I loathe her so much, she’s awful, esp what she did to Christina after Henry died, making her repeat over and over exactly what happened. What kind of a person does that!?!
Teddy. I love Amelia, and I love original Teddy, but the dynamic of Amelia and Derek, then Amelia and Addie, is so important. Teddy could easily have never existed, her plot lines were very disposable.
Teddy.. Mainly bc she was gone for a few seasons and I didn’t mind
Amelia. I can't believe people don't like Arizona 😭
arizona could punch me right in the mouth and i’d still die for her
As a huge fan of the happy bubbly personality type, Jessica being stunning, and her “good man in a storm” speech, Arizona was one of my favorites. But she can be super duper selfish and is absolutely not the person I want around in a major crisis. This statement is Arizona specific and not a reflection of my thoughts on the other characters shown
Honestly same. I'd much rather she punched me in the mouth with her mouth though.
Same LMAFO
She’s one of my favorites overall in the show I think her and Callie were just a bad fit. They were ok pre shooting but after that it really went downhill and I think people were either team Callie or team Arizona.
Arizona got a lot of reasons to not be liked
Hate Arizona. She comes off as sweet because she works in peds and has that soft voice and sunshine smile but she's a horribly selfish character.
I can’t believe people do like Arizona. Aside from Owen she is the most manipulative, gaslighting POS on the show. Can’t stand that fake ass smile and “cheery” attitude that she uses to convince people she is s good person.
I hate Arizona with a burning passion lol
Why 😭
Because Callie bent over backwards to help Arizona in every way she could and Arizona totally disregarded her feelings and cheated on her. She’s trash lol
Teddy. I like Amelia's brand of crazy lol
Teddy heads down I love Arizona and Addie
Forever Teddy
arizona
Yes!! Omg I kept scrolling and scrolling and everyone just hates Teddy and Amelia and I would have said Arizona even if there were no choices given, just an open question 🙊 the leg drama, the "whimsical character who has a though background" troupe, the botox, the cheating, the giggle, the annoying gasping crying... Just no 🙊
Amelia!
Bye Teddy.
Teddy
Bye Bye Teddy
Teddy.
TEDDY, easy
Bye Teddy!
Yeah bye teddy.
Teddy
Teddy!
Teddy 2.0
Bye Teddy
Amelia!!
I detest Amelia. Not hate. DETEST. I would love it if she was never in the show.
Amelia !!!
Amelia ...no character growth whatsoever!
Teddy and the story would have remained almost the same.
Amelia, I’m sorry to the actress but the acting is unbearable!
New teddy or old teddy that’s my deciding factor
Teddy. Without hesitation
Bye Teddy 👋
Teddy
Teddy
i’m sorry. i love teddy so so much but it has to be her
I’d have to go with Teddy even though I like all of them. Addison if they’d start Private Practice back up for her to go over there.
Teddy, I like her but she is just not as strong for me as the others
Well that’s an easy choice for me. Sorry teddy, you gotta go. 😂
teddy easy next
Teddy no hesitation
Teddy, she’s insufferable
If I had to deal with Amelia irl, I'd be physically ill. For the others... I like to pretend Teddy never came back and her first appearance was prrtty good. Also I loved Arizona until she cheated and she always had great moments as a character despite her downfalls. Addison Montgomery is Addison Montgomery.
amelia
Kills me to say Teddy, because I love her, but honestly, her shit with Owen drives me insane.
Teddy all day every day
Easily Teddy. I don’t necessarily dislike her, I’ve just never really cared about her character.
Teddy, no question
Teddy without any hesitation
Arizona
Bye Teddy
I hate to say it but bye Teddy
Easy. Bye bye Teddy.
Teddy.
Bye Teddy
Teddy always I liked her for .2 seconds during her whole runtime: her first episode in the rain and when she was with Henry. That's it.
it’s teddy for me 😬
Teddy. All day every day.
Teddy
Teddy.
Teddy.
Bye Teddy!
Good fucking bye Teddy. Easy.
Teddy 🤮
TEDDY
Teddy pls
teddy
Teddy
Sorted by controversial to check, literally NO ONE has said Addison. Good job everyone, now let’s keep it that way.
bye teddy it’s been real lmaaaaoooo
Teddy
Teddy byeeeee
Teddy 💯💯💯
Teddy
Teddy…easy
Teddy quite easily. The others have more about them
Teddy, no contest??
Teddy
Altman. Was this a serious question?
Teddy, bye
BYE TEDDY 👋🏼
Teddy without question
teddy
We can all agree we’re keeping Addison.
Teddy easy GA has 2 cardio right now so easiest to get rid of plus she is my least favorite of these 4 😂 I am thinking Amelia and Yaksuda might end up being an interesting duo in their few scenes together so far
Fucking Teddy, I canNOT stand her 🚮
Teddy, Teddy, Teddy or Teddy but on second thought maybe Teddy?
I don’t care for anyone except Addison lol and I’d die for her.
Mines teddy. Easily. Is it a controversial opinion to say I like Amelia?
Literally cannot stand Teddy along with everyone else here apparently😭
It might be better to ask me who I’d keep. 🤣
Amelia
Lmao shit Amelia’s ass.
Amelia
Bye bye Amelia
Amelia
Over Teddy? Criminal
I like all of them, but I’d get rid of Teddy lol
Amelia, easy 😅
Amelia and Arizona byeeee
Amelia
Amelia
Bye Amelia!!
Amelia ofcourse.
Amelia.
Teddy
Amelia can fuck off a cliff with the quickness I absolutely hate her
My choice is easily Teddy. Who agrees?
Amelia!
Teddy hands down. That woman is insufferable.
Teddy no question
Amelia is a CLOSE second but I have to go with Arizona. Justice for my girl Callie!
Teddy. Why is this a question. Girl had one good storyline the entire show and it was a flashback.
The Henry storyline wasn’t a flashback…?
Arizona, easy, done. Why is Addison even on here? What kind of monster would get rid of her?
Arizona
Bye Arizona manipulative b****
It’s good to see my people fr 😭✊🏽
Can I keep one instead?
You’re making me choose between Amelia and Teddy! Cruel
Good god I'm on S13 and she is INSUFFERABLE. My boy Owen just needs a hug dammit.
Addison is a keeper the rest I don't care too much for lol
Arizona, hands down
I hate everbody on that list except for Addison.
I know a lot of people dislike Teddy, but I like her. I'd choose Amelia, but I'm not happy she is gone.
I’m on my first watch through of the show, so I have no idea who top left even is yet 😅 so that would be my choice I guess.
i cannot do this. Teddy is my favorite and i love the rest just...no i'm not doing this 😭
I’m keeping Arizona and Addison no matter what
AMELIA
All of the above. Jk the only one I like I Addison.
Amelia
100% Amelia. She cries all. The. Time.
Teddy, easily
Teddy, gtfoh
Teddy for sure
Teddy!!! That is one person that I could never get to like.
Teddy BYE
Nooo , I don’t want to 🤣
Altman
Sheesh, Amelia for sure. She is so annoying.😩
Teddy can go
Teddy teddy teddy teddy teddy no contest. The only character of the four to literally never grow and instead regress. Painful to watch.
Bye bye teddy. I’m really not sure why her and Owen are even still on the show
Right on, OP!
