11 Plots that Twisted Too Far in 2015

The arrival of Penny on Grey's Anatomy. Everything was going so well, and the show was so enjoyable to watch. Then, surprise! Callie's new girlfriend is the doctor who couldn't save Derek's life. Even worse, it turned out she was transferring her residency to Grey Sloan Memorial, which basically made no sense.

Juliette's back on Grimm. After squandering a huge character development opportunity during Grimm Season 4, the creators apparently killed the bland-girlfriend-turned-one-note-villain in the season finale. Except now Juliette's back again. Surprise! While not everyone was thrilled with her death, her abrupt reappearance came completely out of left field. About the best things that can be said is that (1) everyone did a remarkable job keeping her return a secret, and (2) they may, may, just find a way to redeem themselves for the way her character was treated during Season 4.

Lily stabbing herself on The Vampire Diaries and leaving JULIAN to continue annoying us. She was such a good character and we thought she was in it for the long haul. Now the Heretics are just going to be annoying without her and with JULIAN in charge. Just ugh!

On The Big Bang Theory Leonard revealing to Penny that he cheated on her on his north pole expedition as they were on their way to get married was annoying. These two had been through enough and we did not need another conflict threatening their relationship. Plus it was completely out of character for Leonard to have kept that secret for so long.

Francis was cured of his medical illness, at least temporarily, to live another day only to die mortally in battle. While most of the story was fiction anyway, it seemed a cheap shot to pull the he lives, he dies stunt with the guy who had become the heart of Reign.

The reveal that Hester was the killer all along on Scream Queens and just about every single thing that followed it. Creepy Hester was such an obvious choice of villain and it was massively disappointing that the show went the route of "So obvious, it's right under your nose!" for the big twist.

While it was exciting to watch Abbie heroically sacrifice herself in the midseason finale of Sleepy Hollow, we all know she's not really dead. She's a main character and too important to the series for them to kill her off. With so many viewers leaving after season 2, it is hard to imagine they would alienate the ones they have left by destroying the excellent chemistry between Abbie and Ichabod that keeps most people watching.

Castle season 8 has had some pretty terrible twists (the convoluted LokSat conspiracy, too many new characters, weird sitcom style humor) but the worst of them was Kate walking out on Rick. With nothing more than a vague explanation, Beckett moved out of the loft in order to “protect” Castle.

The separation not only made no sense story wise (would the bad guys really not go after her husband simply because she'd moved out?), it was a slap in the face to viewers who had waited years to see Caskett as a happily married couple. Now fans are screaming for a return to what made them fall in love with this show in the first place: the romance of Castle and Beckett as a couple solving quirky crimes TOGETHER!

Jake surviving multiple stab wounds on Scandal and surviving was a bit of a stretch, to say the least. I'm glad he survived, but it was still hard to believe that the injuries didn't kill him or that Russell didn't make sure he was dead.

Glen being “killed off” and then brought back on The Walking Dead. It was just stupid and we all knew it was going to happen. It would have been better to just have him die and let us see the fallout from that.

Jake cheating on Bishop on NCIS angered and confused a lot of viewers. The unpopular twist destroyed a character who had been until this point a fairly likable guy (who had even managed to befriend ​*Gibbs*​ of all people). To make matters worse, Jake's attempts to apologize for the affair came out as half-hearted at best and showed very little (if any) actual remorse for his behavior.
