Grey's Anatomy follows the lives of surgical interns and residents at the fictional Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, as they gradually evolve into seasoned doctors, with the help of their competent mentors. Every installment, typically, commences with a voice-over narrative from Meredith Grey, foreshadowing the theme of the episode. Each season tends to represent the physicians' academic year, with each completed year qualifying the residents at a level higher in the surgical field. The season will always end with a finale, typically involving a tragic event such as a death or character departure. Most installments revolve around the doctors' everyday lives as surgeons, but the show puts an emphasis on their personal, rather than professional, lives. The series sets aside medical ethics concerns to focus on character development and relationships. Although the physicians treat the illnesses of their patients, often through complex surgeries, their primary motivation is customarily praise and competition.

Main Cast
Resident Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, 42 (3/3/3/4/3), is the central protagonist of the show, and narrator of the majority of episodes. She began the series as an intern and has since progressed along her career path. Her character is defined by her romantic relationships as well as the lingering effects her mother's affair with Richard Webber has had on her life. She is best friends with Cristina Yang and following a long romance, she has married neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd, and they adopted a baby named Zola.

Skilled Resident Cristina Yang, played by Sandra Oh, 40 (3/3/4/2/3) has an indomitable passion for cardiothoracic surgery, and is almost ruthless in pursuit of her desired specialty. She is best friends with Meredith Grey, and has previously been in a relationship with Preston Burke, which ended suddenly when he left Cristina on their wedding day. Since then she has entered into a relationship with Owen Hunt, whom she marries in season 7.

Hard-headed and often discourteous Resident Alex Karev, played by Justin Chambers, 41 (2/2/2/2/3), has had a series of unfortunate relationships throughout his life, beginning with his mother. At an early age, he had to become her defender from an abusive father, and later her caretaker. While working as a doctor, he was involved with a patient, Ava, but her mental instability strained their relationship and Alex once again adopted a caretaker role before Ava's admission to a psychiatric hospital. He subsequently embarked on a relationship with Izzie Stevens, and they wed, but Izzie asked for a divorce following her dismissal from Seattle Grace.

An attending general surgeon at Seattle Grace hospital, Miranda Bailey, played by Chandra Wilson, 42 (2/3/3/3/3), initially gave a cold, domineering impression, earning her the nickname "The Nazi". However, her attitude has since softened, and she has developed a maternal role towards the residents in the hospital. She has undergone a divorce which led her to turn down a fellowship in pediatric surgery. She is dating an anesthesiologist.

Authority figure and Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace, Richard Weber, played by James Pickens Jr., has had a difficult past characterized by affairs and alcoholism. His relationship with Meredith Grey is at times volatile because he had an affair with her mother. Recently Richard has struggled with managing the finances of Seattle Grace and has merged the hospital with Mercy West Hospital. The merger has caused him much stress, strained his relationship with Derek Shepherd and ultimately contributed to the collapse of his sobriety.

As Chief of Neurosurgery, Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey, 46 (4/4/4/3/4), earned the nickname McDreamy by the female staff of Seattle Grace. The lead male character, he is known for his complicated love-life. Initially, he moved to Seattle from New York to get away from his adulterous ex-wife, Addison Montgomery, whom he discovered was having an affair with his best friend, Mark Sloan. He subsequently began a long romance with Meredith Grey which resulted in their marriage. Recently, he had a somewhat antagonistic relationship with Richard Webber, whom he believed wasn't governing the hospital appropriately. He took over as the Chief of Surgery after going to the hospital board about Chief Webber's drinking problem, but resigned after nearly dying from being shot because he thought being chief wasn't his place.

Callie Torres, played by Sara Ramirez, 37 (2/2/3/3/2), is an orthopedic surgeon. She was introduced as an orthopedic surgical resident, and then promoted to an attending. She was once married to George O'Malley, but divorced after he developed feelings for Izzie Stevens. Later, she had a lesbian affair with Erica Hahn which was cut short by Hahn's departure from Seattle Grace. She was in a happy relationship with Arizona Robbins but they broke up because Arizona did not want to have kids. However at the end of the 6th season, after doing a surgery on a small girl while a shooter is loose in the hospital, Callie tells Arizona in a round about way that she loves her and the two end up getting back together and decide that they are going to have children. In season 7, Callie was going to move to Africa with Arizona, but Arizona breaks up with her and then leaves her at the airport in Seattle. Callie ends up sleeping with Mark again and gets pregnant. Arizona later returns for Callie and they get back together. On episode 7.18 Callie gets horribly injured in a car crash with Arizona. Addison, delivers her baby at 23 weeks, which then survives. Later Dr. Bailey marries Arizona and Callie.

Mark Sloan, Chief of Plastic Surgery, played by Eric Dane, 39 (3/3/3/2/3), has a playboy personality that nearly jeopardized his friendship with Derek by having an affair with his wife, Addison Montgomery. He knew both Derek and Addison Shepherd from when all three lived in New York. Derek and Mark managed to resolve their issues and reaffirm their friendship. He has been given the nickname "McSteamy" by Meredith and her friends. Sloan had a relationship with Lexie Grey which ended due to strain when Mark's 18 year old daughter from a one night stand appeared at the hospital and subsequently moved in with them. The girl's mother had named her Sloane and never told Mark about her. She arrived in Seattle unannounced, and Mark found out she was pregnant. Mark wanted to keep the baby but Sloane decided to give it up for adoption. After that, Mark and Lexie retake their relationship, but it ended when Mark got Callie Torres pregnant, and Lexie started dating Jackson Avery.

Resident and half-sister of Meredith Grey, Lexie Grey, played by Chyler Leigh, 29 (2/2/2/2/2), was in relationships with Mark, Alex, and Jackson. Known for her photographic memory, she has earned the nickname Lexipedia. Initially she had a distant, contentious relationship with Meredith, but they have since grown closer. She is often called "Little Grey" by other doctors on staff. In the season 8 finale, she died from the consequences of a plane crash that took place at the end of the penultimate episode.

Owen Hunt, Chief of Trauma Surgery, played by Kevin McKidd, 39 (2/2/3/2/3), is the husband of Cristina Yang. Suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, he has struggled with the horrors he experienced whilst serving with the army in Iraq. He invited former colleague Teddy Altman to work alongside him at Seattle Grace, a decision which caused some friction between himself and Cristina. In the season 7 premiere he marries Cristina. Later, he is also offered the position by Richard Webber to choose the next chief resident at Seattle Grace. He was later promoted to Chief of Surgery after Webber resigned.

Arizona Robbins, played by Jessica Capshaw, 34 (1/1/2/3/1), pediatric surgery attending, has a cheery disposition but gets upset when challenging authority. She has embarked on a relationship with Callie Torres. She comes from a military family and graduated from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She has been revealed to harbor great emotional intelligence; her insight and advice have been used to defuse several situations, such as Callie's dispute with her father. In season 7, she wins a prestigious award, and she and Callie plan to move to Malawi, Africa and work there. However, she breaks up with Callie and leaves her at the airport. They reconcile soon after, and ultimately get married.

Dr. Teddy Altman, played by Kim Raver, 43 (2/3/3/2/2), took over the job as Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Seattle Grace in season six. She previously served in Iraq with Owen Hunt. Although a skilled surgeon, her teaching methods might appear somewhat unorthodox. Her arrival at Seattle Grace, followed by her profession of love to Owen has caused some friction between Owen and his girlfriend, Cristina Yang. Teddy marries a patient at the hospital named Henry to get him insurance, but she eventually falls in love with him. Over time, Teddy forms a friendship with Christina, but her friendship with Owen ends when she feels he put the hospital before her. She and Owen eventually make up in the season finale. Owen finds out she was offered a job at the Army Medical Command, but turned it down because she wanted to be there for Owen, if he and Cristina were to separate. He ultimately fires her, and tells her that he'll be okay.

A surgical resident from Mercy West Hospital, April Kepner, played by Sarah Drew, 31 (1/2/2/2/1), was fired in Episode 6.06 by Chief Webber, but later rehired by Dr. Shepherd in Episode 6.13 due to his believing her dismissal was unfair. Later it is revealed that she has a crush on Dr. Shepherd in Episode 6.19. In the season six finale, she informs him that her best friend Dr. Reed Adamson has been shot and killed. She later runs into Mr. Clark (the shooter) when Shepherd was shot. Clark lets her go when she emotionally tells him everything about her life. In the third episode of season 7, April reveals that she is a virgin. In the season 7 finale, April becomes Chief Resident.

First introduced as a surgical resident from Mercy West Hospital, Jackson Avery, played by Jesse Williams, 31 (2/2/2/3/2), is also called "pretty boy," especially by Cristina Yang. He is a grandson of the famous surgeon, Dr. Harper Avery, and is focusing on plastics. He develops a crush on Cristina, and while inebriated he kisses her at a party, but Cristina breaks the kiss. In the 6th season finale, he is told by Dr. Shepherd that there is a lockdown in the hospital and is later left by Dr. Hunt and Dr. Altman in the OR with 2 nurses and 1 anesthesiologist. He is the one who decides that Yang should operate on Shepherd in order to save him. When Mr. Clark (the shooter) takes the OR hostage, he disconnects Shepherd in order to make everyone believe that he is dead until Mr. Clark leaves the room. It is also revealed later in season 7 that Avery suffers from traumatic nightmares. Avery also has a complicated relationship with Lexie Grey, which is a recurring plot point on the show.
