same!! I am ignoring all of this because it would never have happened if Justin didn't need to leave.. the writers just scrambled to make a storyline and this was the best they could come up with!!!!

Im still pissed about this.

[@elliest55]

It's not so much *what* happened (well, that too) but *how* it was presented. All those episodes where Alex was AWOL, they could have started building the storyline of his exit. Instead, we get a single-episode story which is the laziest piece of writing ever produced on primetime TV. It's like something written on a napkin, during some writer's 20-minute taxi ride home. ONE lame-ass letter, full of telling-not-showing, REPEATED three times with only slightly different phrasing just to fill the screen-time, which of course wasn't nearly reached just with the three iterations of the letter, so they went "whatevs, just fill the rest with flashbacks".

[@cassykathy]

Think it was really the only way to do it. Considering he left the show himself because he wanted to focus on other things. They had to make up something so they went back to Izzie and the whole when she wanted kids situation. I hate the way he left.. and it’s true if he came back he wouldn’t of been able to leave. But it’s Alex, he loves kids and always wanted to be a family and he stepped right into one he never knew he had. It wouldn’t be Alex if he left his own kids considering how he grew up and wouldn’t want to do that to his own kids.

[@mariadakli7658]

The fact that it took so much for Jo to trust him and let him in and how he REPEATEDLY SAID HE’D BE THERE and this is what the writers do? Bullshit

This is so heartbreaking. This was a total character assasination of Alex. He was so in love with Jo since s9. He even told Arizona that he was in love with an intern.This hurts so much. I know that Jolex couldn't be endgame due to Justin leaving, but they should have killed him off instead, and made Jo pregnant with his baby. Jolex was suposed to be it.

[@VioletEmerald]

@@andreaf8404 Super underrated comment. I'm getting so annoyed that people think killing off Derek was WORSE than what they did here with Alex/Jo and this is a great way to paint it and try to get some of them to see our point of view - what if they'd had Derek disappear with no goodbye on Meredith and just ghost his wife after everything because of noble obligations of some kind... the comparison falls apart and is hard to fully make because Derek already had kids with Meredith and it isn't that likely that he would've donated sperm to someone or somewhere leading to how he'd then suddenly have kids elsewhere to raise, if you could imagine him and Meredith never having kids though... idk. basically Derek's death, none of the other deaths, were worse writing than this. We're talking about the difference between horrible characterization and misunderstanding of the fundamental nature of who your character is and what choices they would likely make, compared with annoying plot points around a character's life without all the character assassination. I hated how they killed off Mark Sloan in large part because he was alive and fine at the end of a season finale and then the season resumes and he's in a hospital bed in a coma or something worse than that idk, never to be shown awake and conscious again, where it feels like a weird part of the storyline was skipped... and it would've been better to either make it clear his health was in danger in the season finale, or show the experience of the shock of him not being fine as it all started in the aftermath, instead of just skipping to him essentially being brain dead. But while it was kinda pretty bad writing, it was not nearly as big a betrayal of the character as what this choice of Alex's was.

The fact of the matter is that, REALISTICALLY, he would NEVER have done this to Jo! Not with who Jo's character is and who they were as a couple; all of the history between them and everything they overcame. This ending just doesn't fit with his character as long as he's attached to Jo!

[@maddielopez8625]

I like this a lot.

[@maddielopez8625]

S J they didn’t say he’d leave her. They said he’d explain why he has to go be there for those kids. For someone who grew up without a good father figure, the prospect of being that for someone else could be completely life changing. It’s actually a sign of great maturity and a sign that he’d be a good parent if he unselfishly went to raise those kids.

[@SJ-vv8vt]

Madeline Lopez If he “unselfishly went to raise those kids,” he’s still leaving her, someone who went through hell growing up, has zero family, went through her entire life without a mother or a father, was abused in foster homes until she ended up homeless, was almost killed by her abusive ex husband, and has so many trust and abandonment issues. But because she’s an adult it’s okay to leave her, someone Alex built a relationship with and actually knows for kids who were born without his consent? Using someone else’s sperm without their knowledge is illegal. Izzie clearly had no problems with being a single mother.

[@tonyyaa444]

after everything jo been thru she didn’t deserve this 💔

[@baileyryan96]

I really hope shonda gives them a happy ending. Not an ending where they get together but an ending where they're on good terms because right now there not.

I finished my own fanvideo tribute after 16x16 but hadn't figured out how to render it correctly when this popped into my subscriptions and i was SO excited to see the video right away. I know how talented you are. I'm jealous of you finding a handful of scenes I couldn't find or even had forgotten about but mainly I'm just loving this emotional video so much. Poor Jo. Your editing in this is so beautiful. The song choice works so well and is so full of the right kind of pain.

[@oliviabrooke_]

luvtheheaven5 your video is so beautiful and u chose perfect scenes! & thank you so much ❤️

[@evie7040]

I like how you ended this video. It just goes to show that Jo really is and has been the only person truly in her corner. And I know she had Alex for a long time but then he up and left, she has Meredith but we all know she's a bit everywhere nowadays . Jo has Link but has only just been reunited with him. Jo stands on her own, just as she has her whole life,

[@kaseyvanhook195]

This is absolutely gut-wrenching.

[@rtzhl8909]

this is so heartbreaking... apart from how the writers ruin alex’s character. i am really in pieces for jo, she was the love of his life, she thought she was and the second later she was just a woman he loved. she loves him so much, she trusted him, she married him and then one day he left her for another woman who for 5 years didn’t even dare to call alex and tell him she has their children. jo was alex’s everything and the same with alex. i have never experienced it, but somehow I really feel the pain jo is feeling and i am so proud of her because she didn’t leave everything, she didn’t give up, she faced the truth and go on.

As sad as it is, this was a beautifully made video. The editing was amazing and it all flows so well. Good job. 👏👏

I can't believe that they have ruined this relationship so beautiful, at least they would have given a better ending to this couple. Jo made Alex the man he is now thanks to her the change :(

[@Laura-pq2dy]

Haven’t watched season 16 and this spoiled it all, it’s like do I even want to cry this hard omg. This will actually destroy me

[@joswald8293]

it hurts so much! I'm still in shock that they really destroyed The couple. I'll never get over it!

The only thing that encourages me to keep watching is knowing that Alex would never actually do this and it was all Shonda. Btw amazing job this is on of the best edits I've ever seen!

i really love izzex and i love that they are endgame but still i feel so bad for jo, and honestly she didn’t deserve this, i hope she finds happiness and true love. btw this is amazing😍 your talent

Taylor B thank you ❤️

[@pablofuentes1133]

I’m so mad with this final. Literally, Grey’s killed his best character, after gone Derek and Cristina, but at least both had a decent ending. This is so humiliating for Karev. Karev season 1 returns and don’t care all the development.

[@CassioCasagrande]

Awesome vid! Congratz!

[@oliviabrooke_]

Cassio Casagrande thank you!!

[@emmamorris6316]

i feel like people are overlooking the fact that alex left jo to be with his children and be the father figure that he never had. yes it may seem like a break in character and that he backtracked in character but i feel like this is a very alex thing to do. a spontaneous decision that makes some people unhappy, but ultimately he was there for his children.

[@msfriendsfan4ever788]

He could have been involved in his kids lives without leaving Jo. He could have given her a phone call and then given her the option of comming with him.

[@emmamorris6316]

@@msfriendsfan4ever788 you know that alex’s actor LEFT THE SHOW right? how else would you have liked them to end his story? kill him?

[@emmamorris6316]

@Bita Bishopp his actor.... left the show. he couldn’t stay on the show so how could he do that? LMAO

[@emmamorris6316]

@Bita Bishopp he couldn’t stay with jo because he ISNT A PART OF THE SHOW ANYMORE

[@emmamorris6316]

@Bita Bishopp sorry you’re mad over a show. ❤️ go to an anger management class.

[@joycemhere]

I will never get over this.

[@user-lh2fu4nn7o]

16 years of character development down the drain. They should’ve just killed him. This show really needs to give Jo a fucking break. She better find someone 10x better than Alex and have a bunch of beautiful kids and a wonderful life or else I am never going to get over this.

[@AA-pw2eu]

i literally cried so hard watching this

[@becky200]

I really hate this ending too

[@oliviabrooke_]

becky200 😣😣

[@souIctrl]

i think WE ALL hate this ending, joe deserved better than what krista did to them. he was close to going to jail for her back in season 10, he was literally about to do so many things for her just for him to up and leave?

[@siri5875]

I’m so glad Cristina left in season 10 when the writing was still good. They would’ve probably had her marry Bruke instead of getting a hospital.

[@federicamartino1490]

After what they DId to april and japril this was the worst and most illogical thing ever. I am so sorry for jo

[@madisyn3275]

The song going with this fits so well. Heartbroken for Jo. :(

[@shadowmarvel0737]

I stopped watching season 13 which is the season I was on when I found out he hadn't even been in since last Christmas and he left jo I mean what? He said he'd never leave her like ever and he does love her I know that Alex would have never have left jo not after everything they went through its just sad poor jo she deserved better
