Grey’s Anatomy is a drama series broadcasted on ABC and follows the lives of doctors in a fictional hospital. It debuted on the network in March 2005 and has since then dished out eleven successful seasons.
The show is based on the lives of surgical interns and residents at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital. The name of the hospital has changed over seasons from the original to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital and finally the Grey-Sloan Hospital. It is entertaining to watch the everyday struggles of these surgical interns as they push forward to become doctors. The show is more bent towards portraying the personal lives and complications of the characters rather than their professional lives.
Meredith Grey, the protagonist and the narrator, joins Seattle Grace as a surgical intern. Played by Ellen Pompeo, Grey is following her mother, who is also a popular surgeon and works at the same hospital. The story is presented from the eyes of Meredith. Christina Yang, played by Sarah Oh, is also one of the interns and ends up being best friends with Meredith. The list of interns also includes George O'Malley, portrayed by T.R. Knight, the girl next door, Izzie Stevens, played by Katherine Heighl and the bad boy Alex Karev, played by Justin.
One of the most important characters on the show is Dr. Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey, the attractive resident surgeon, Meredith’s boss and also her love interest. Then there is Chandra Wilson as Dr. Miranda Bailey, who is in charge of the newbies. The character is strict and relenting, as it should be for someone who has to ensure that the new residents are inducted into the system. Then there is Dr. Richard Webber, played by James Pickens Jr., who is the chief supervisor of the surgical wing. There have been multiple major characters who have entered and exited the show over the years.
Starting with the first season, the show producers have made some serious effort to ensure that the audience understands and connects with each and every major character. The show starts with what appears to be a boot camp for young interns. They are under the strict guidance of Dr. Bailey. Very soon, love blooms between Meredith and Derek, as it does between Yang and the Cardiothoracic surgeon, Peter Burke.
Throughout the seasons, the show continues to deliver the essential dose of drama and scandals. It has estranged spouses looking for reconciliation, new faces coming into the hospital and what not. All these changes create a stir in the lives of the leads as it does for other characters. For instance, Meredith’s sister joins the hospital as an intern as well and starts an unstable relationship with a resident doctor. The soap opera has also seen Peter ditching Yang at the wedding ceremony and exiting the show. Amidst these relationship problems, divorces, rekindled romance and new love, the show see the interns graduating to become residents.
