He didn't leave, though. Alex would never leave Meredith like that, so that ending isn't even canon to me 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Idk which writer came up with that idea, but they clearly don't know him, and krista vernoff doesn't either.

[@haileyparsons3844]

​@@student05-bdes52 No it does make sense, he said from an early age that he never wanted to be the distant dad but be the man is there for his kids. That's, why he left, he left to become a better dad, a father to Izzie's kids. He didn't leave to go with Izzie but to be the Dad the kids needed. Sure I think the writing is rushed, and it would have fixed things if Katherine Heigl made an appearance or even he made a brief appearance at Meredith's house. It would have fixed things. Overall he reasoning for leaving Jo makes sense, I feel like people miss that because there are too focused on the Jo and Alex ship. To which I do like over Izzie and Alex.

[@chaosinthestars8280]

We spent 16 seasons, almost 17, giving this man such amazing character development. 16 seasons spent turning him into one of the BEST characters, and they just...shit all over it by making him leave Jo for Izzie. And ik, ik he wanted to be there for his kids but he didn't have to drop everything, y'know like his WIFE, to do so. And he didn't even say anything to her face, he left a note. Are you KIDDING?! Build up all this amazing development just to tear it down at the end? I hate that he left like that.

[@memegod1422]

not to mention when izzie left him by writing a note too if i remember correctly, we all know how much that crushed him. he even ended up standing up for himself and telling her he deserved better. so it makes no sense for him to ghost his wife with a note after what izzie did to him… idc to me the episode he left never happened and he’s on an extended vaycay by himself😌

[@haileyparsons3844]

I think you are missing the point of this. He didn't want his kids to grow up without a father, so he left to become there father. He literally says in the letter that he wouldn't have left if Izzie didn't have kids.

[@chaosinthestars8280]

@@haileyparsons3844 I understand that he wanted to be with his kids, I'm not saying he shouldn't have gone to meet them and whatnot because he should've, I'm glad he did, but he did not need to up and leave his wife. He could've told her and asked if she wanted to go with him, he could've talked to Izzie and made plans to have his kids every weekend or smth, he could've at least told Jo in person. I get that Izzie was his first love but Jo was important too. The old Alex would've done smth like this, not the one who grew and became a better person. Especially since he was so mad at Izzie for leaving him through a letter, the least they could've done if they were gonna make him leave was to have him hash it all out in person, because Alex never would've done what Izzie did to him to his family. He just wouldn't have.

[@tasharice2781]

​@chaosinthestars8280 Alex wanted a traditional family. He always has. Mom and dad that love each other, and happy kids. He COULD have done right by them, been in their life, and co-parented with Izzie while being with Jo, but that's not what Alex REALLY wanted. He wanted pancakes in the morning with his wife and kids kind of family. I know in my heart of hearts that he will be happier than if he tried to do both.

[@haileyparsons3844]

​@@chaosinthestars8280The old Alex wouldnt have come back to Izzie. He left the house and didn't contact his siblings for years. By the time Aaron came to visit him, Amber was 16. Also Jo would have not been okay with him asking her to leave everything behind with him. Her reaction when she find out he helped Izzie get rid of his eggs is enough proof that she would have been pissed. The new Alex would have definetly done this to be a better dad than his old man. I would have loved for him to make an apperance or even Izzie to come back and make an appearance kind of like how Burke returned but I dont think him leaving a letter and returing to be a good father is considered ruin character development. Heck I dont like them together and dont like Izzie but him leaving for the reason he did makes sense.

i always laugh when he is in the hospital bed yelling at cristina saying "yOUU almost KILLED me"

[@MarshmallowSketches]

I love Alex, but I hate how they threw away all those years/seasons of character development with a letter. Leaving to go be with Izzie is something the old Alex would have done, and I never expected the person he became to do something like that, to hurt that many people... It's just not fair.

Is anyone else thinking Izzie wasnt good for him? Like Jo may have her flaws but she was the most stable and genuine person for him and she puts he needs first whenever she could and the same for him On the other hand, Izzie was stringing him along for no reason, even when she wanted a rebound he wasnt an option, mentally for him Izzie shouldn’t be with him Just like how Owen and Amelia or Owen and Christina weren’t good for each other because Izzie couldn’t give what Alex needed whilst Jo did even it took some time but even then her situation was different from Izzie cause she was in a dangerous situation. I’m just hurt how Alex went to a girl who clearly didnt deserve him. Not blaming the actor by the way, he needed to go for his well-being, just blaming the writer and producers and directors in not being able to find a good way to find him a better out that didnt destroy seasons of character development down the drain.

[@AmoolyaParuchuri]

Izzie treated him like he wasn't a person, like his life and his feelings didn't matter (or at least didn't matter above her own). The man was traumatized and probably a little emotionally stunted, but he ALWAYS showed up for the people he loved, even when he was a kid. He deserved better than yet another person who never put him first.

[@reesetimmins572]

This paragraph is perfect!!

[@alvasal2547]

Yup totally agree!! It would have been better to kill off his character so that he could at least be remembered as the awesome man he became... the way they did it... Jo didn’t deserve that .. Mer Bailey and Weber ... it was just sad... that these characters will remember him as ditching out on his life with them... such a plot hole... I mean think about Meredith’s kids Alex was an important person for them and now just like that gone... yup... disappointing

[@apaine15_sport]

If izzie hadn't had their kids I don't think he would have gone, it was a "good" bad way to let him go, because he didn't want his children to grow up without him, I don't see why he had to leave though

[@Lordofthepringless]

This is bullshit. Izzie was the only one who gave Alex the time of day early one. She was the one who poured years into developing a friendship and relationship with him. He cheated on her and pushed her away which is when she moved on. She wasn’t stringing him along. That’s just straight lies. Honestly just admit you didn’t watch the early seasons or that you have an irrational hatred of Izzie, because your take is ridiculous and based on delusions and things that didn’t happen. Also you’re “hurt”? How old are you 12? Alex is better off with Izzie who he even told Meredith was his soulmate. If you really think he was over Izzie even when he was with Jo, you’re deluding yourself. There were glaring hints for multiple seasons post season 6 he wasn’t over her. I also like how you’re willing to defend Jo acting like raging bitch towards Alex because of “danger” but it’s fuck Izzie who nearly died and was traumatized from her battle with cancer and becoming infertile? Yeah… okay. Btw that’s sarcasm. I’m glad he left Jo who honestly treated him like crap way more than Izzie ever did.

[@vincentmedina542]

they should have killed him off instead of having him leave JO. It ruins his entire character arc by having him leave and become a bad guy.

Shonda would have *never* done that. She knew her character well and she knew he'd never leave Meredith. It was kriata vernoff who ruined one of shonda's best characters.
