Izzie Stevens

Played by: Katherine Heigl

Bio

A statuesque blonde, Isobel "Izzie" Stevens put herself through medical school by modeling. Underwear. Wow.

When this fact is publicized by Dr. Alex Karev, who pinned pictures of her up in the locker room, Izzie flew off the handle. She later warmed up to Alex, however, and dated him briefly before catching him sleeping with a nurse and breaking it off. They remain friends, though.

At first, Izzie butted heads with Meredith over the latter's relationship with Dr. Shepherd. Izzie initially believed it was a plot for Dr. Grey to get ahead of her fellow interns, but the two have become good friends. They live in the same house, one that was also inhabited by George until the most recent episode.

When meeting a pregnant teenage girl from her hometown (outside Seattle), Izzie revealed that she, too, had a daughter at 16. Her daughter, who is now 12, was adopted and now lives in Santa Barbara, Calif. She made an appearance in Season Three, needing a bone marrow transplant from Izzie to stay alive. They did not communicate, however, as the girl's parents handled everything.

Izzie first showed an interest in surgery involving infants and young children, the specialty of Dr. Addison Shepherd. But she was deemed too emotional, a fact driven home when she fell in love with everyone's favorite heart patient, Denny Duquette. In her illegal attempt to get him a transplant, Izzie risked her entire medical career. While her efforts were successful, Denny died, and her career nearly followed suit.

Stevens eventually recovered from her loss, however, and after a probationary period, regained form as a surgeon, especially during a big ferry disaster. Denny also left her $8 million, which she used to open a free clinic at Seattle Grace. Unlucky in love, she became convinced she loves George as Season Three drew to a close. They hooked up one evening when drunk. How will this play out?

Stay tuned.

Quotes

Izzie: This isn't real, is it? I'm just gonna keep my eyes close because this is like that moment in the morning when you first wake up and you're still half asleep and everything seems... things are possible, dreams feel true and for that one moment between waking and sleeping anything can be real, and then you open your eyes and the sun hits you and then you realize that... I'm just gonna keep my eyes closed.

    Izzie was there from the very beginning. Izzie is/was one of the wonderful characters that made this show so amazing. Grey's Anatomy is maybe still Grey's Anatomy but for sure not as GREAT as it was before. Izzie is the only and true love of Alex Karev. He will never ever love anyone like he loved her and same with Iz. They're meant to be together. And heck, I miss the realitionship between them. I miss the friendship between Izzie and George. I miss the funny scenes between Izzie and Meredith; okay, rather between EVERYONE. The SGH changed Izzie, but Izzie also changed the SGH and everyone around her. And that's good. Because she's good. No wait, she's fantastic. And bcuz anyone said she won't return, I'm still hoping. It's not hopeless. Yeah, because Iz is a BIG part of GA. So, who says she won't come back? I believe it. I hope it. I want it. I need it. >Iz, we love you, come back< I can't count the ppl that need Iz, bcuz the list would be waaaay to long

    Guado still in his mouth the taste of that kiss and remember a story full of love and desire only a nod and then staring at the road and only remnants of the two memorabilia and anything else is possible to forget our first meeting you simply arrived and I asked almost nothing and in a moment the two got involved too but after awhile that goodbye, nothing else was lost and our love was consumed entirely forgotten as a cigarette ash on the edge of some of it all was this longing and stored in two recollections are left and nothing else.love izzi and george
