Grey's Anatomy is one of the most popular medical drama TV shows out there. It is hard to believe that season one of the series was released more than ten years ago, all the way back in 2005. To date, 15 seasons and 325 episodes have been released (season 15 premiered earlier this year). Fun fact: every episode is actually named after a famous song (IMDb)!
This TV show has quite a large cast. For example, actors such as Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh, Justin Chambers, Katherine Heigl, Chandra Wilson, T. R. Knight, Patrick Dempsey, Kate Walsh, James Pickens, Jr., Brooke Smith, Jessica Capshaw, Tessa Ferrer and Eric Dane have all made an appearance on this show at one point or another.
Some of the actors that we have grown to love have been around since day one (such as Ellen Pompeo who portrays the show's protagonist) whereas others have been introduced later on in the series (such as the actress Camilla Luddington whose character was not introduced until season nine of the show). Still others have disappeared for good, much to the fans' dismay (or, in the case of annoying characters, to the fans' joy). But only the biggest fans can name all of them!
Name this former surgical intern.
Recognize this character? On the show he was jokingly known as the world’s oldest intern. He spent most of his life - or 30 years to be exact - working as a pharmacist. He then decided to become a surgical intern but was always slightly behind others. Because of his age quite a few people thought that he was an attending surgeon as opposed to an intern. This character ended up having a stroke at the hospital and later decided to transfer to psychiatry instead (which is what he wanted to do all along).
Who is this?
This character was the Head of Plastic Surgery at Seattle Grace. He was best friends with "McDreamy". However, this character then slept with "McDreamy's" wife which kind of cooled their friendship. Later this character went out with the protagonist's half-sister but their relationship was quite complicated. He was clearly in love with her but knew that they wanted different things. Nonetheless, he told her how he really felt just before she passed away after a plane crash. A few months later he also passed away as a result of the injuries that he incurred during the crash.

This character was a surgical resident at Seattle Grace Hospital. She made an appearance in season two, season three and season four of the show. She was always incredibly cheerful and perky and as such some of the doctors greatly disliked her. However, the reason she was always so perky was because she didn't want anyone to know that she felt incredibly guilty for contributing to the passing away of one of her patients (she diagnosed him with gastroenteritis but he came back a few days later with a ruptured appendix and passed away in surgery).
