Biggest plot hole: all of baily’s training! Somehow she’s supposed to only be 3(maybe 2?) years ahead of the OG intern crew in season one because she was in the race for chief resident a few seasons later but somehow she’s doing solo surgeries in season one!! Not to mention the flashback episodes where she’s got Giant hair and the hospital looks fundamentally different. She must have grown a lot in the 1-2 years before she got her interns!! Not to mention Torres is basically acting chief of ortho as a fourth year resident with attendings fighting over her. Somehow there was no respect for the training timeline with Baily’s class at all.

[@Luke.Probert]

That’s exactly what i was thinking! Bailey has always acted as an attending even though she was a resident. I don’t think the show creators were fully aware of how the medical education program ran in the beginning and they have learned a lot since because so much doesn’t make sense. Another thing to add is nowadays you see all the attendings working in the ER but in earlier seasons you never saw people like Derek, preston etc. They may have been there for consults but they never helped out like everyone else does now

[@moonkitten0557]

I thought she was only one year ahead lol

[@sauxilly]

Luke Probert yea I’m in the hospital often (illness) and that’s one thing they got right in the earlier episodes. Surgeons don’t just hang around in the ER taking care of regular patients, they’re paged when the ER docs think the case is surgical. The show shouldn’t have changed that

I hate how often the Meredith’s liver ‘plot hole’ is brought up when it’s not even a plot hole, the reason you can donate part of a liver is because they grow back! It’s can take about 6 months to a year but it does grow back in its entirety

[@LetYourLiteShine17]

They’re confusing it with Kidney donations

[@meellie]

Killian Coleman yes, thank you!! I just thought the same. I had two liver transplants in 2017 and even I am allowed to drink alcohol if I would want to (but I'm only drinking a glass of champagne on my birthday or on New Year's Eve. I am on very strong painkillers as well that's another reason why I'm not drinking a lot of alcohol). And no, I did not have acute liver and kidney failure because of alcohol. My family also wanted to donate for me but as I was already dying it was too late - anyway no one ever told my family / potential donor that they couldn't drink alcohol anymore after donating. They only said that they should be careful the next few months until the liver is back to about its normal size.

[@account3445]

I think the point of what they’re trying to say is as you said, it takes 6 months to a year for the liver to fully regenerate but Meredith was only in that hospital bed for 4 weeks and maybe a month after she was discharged, she was out drinking again. Then again the time line in this show doesn’t really make sense

[@yourenotmysupervisor9311]

Plus, they made a lot of comparisons to her and her mother. Ellis was dumped by Richard, cut her wrist, found out she was pregnant, packed up her kid, and took off. Meredith lost her husband, found out she was pregnant (which was probably even harder considering she and Derek had just talked about having more kids), packed her kids up, and left so she could deal with it all. Yes, she had a support system at home, but everyone grieves in their own way. I mean, this time jump also showed April heading into a war zone to work as a field trauma surgeon as her way of dealing with the loss of her baby. She grieved that way while Jackson was left behind to take care of all the baby stuff. Her method of grieving wasn’t fair to him, but it was what she felt she had to do at the time.

[@chelxyy]

It was done this way to show a comparison between Ellis and her. Derek died and left her like Richard left Ellis, Mer found out she was pregnant and so did Ellis, both needed time to think so they left their houses and moved to another state, both ended up at the hospital due to some kind of health issue, then they both gave birth....then it ended with Meredith keeping her baby instead of putting her up for adoption unlike her mother.

Izzie leaving, isn't that much of a plot hole. She gave Meredith a pretty cold goodbye, and Meredith isn't the most forgiving person. She and Cristina were never that close. Alex told her to go, and wanted nothing to do with her anymore. Bailey was her resident, but they didn't have a friendship outside of work. Richard was the chief, and was the one who fired her. The only one, who would have likely stayed in touch,, would be George, and he died. Alex having Izzie's debt, isn't a plot hole. Sure it might not have been brought up again, but in the season 10 finale, Cristina leaves her shares of the hospital to Alex. Making it, so that he would be able to pay of her debt.

[@MaggieGKendall]

Also, Izzie came back after she left, briefly. When Reid was moving in on Alex, and Meredith called to tell Izzie that, she came back. Like when she brought her high school science teacher with her for Derek to look at (which, might I add, was pretty ballsy considering the way she spoke to everyone.) She apologized to Alex and he told her to leave. But in that time, he easily could have gotten a forwarding address for her. And beyond that, once Izzie turned back up at the hospital, it wouldn't even have been Alex's problem anymore. Webber and the billing department would have gone to Izzie and told her to pay up/ give them an address to bill. Alex was just a last resort since they didn't know where Izzie was at the time.

Meridith controls hers, lexi's & Dereks shares. Christina's shares went: Alex - Jo - Tom. Callie's shares actually belong to Sophia. Arizona still holds hers. Current Board Members Tom; Bailey; Richard; Meredith; Owen; Fox foundation rep

[@LexiFonseca]

Exactly!! So obviously Mer has her own shares and then Derek’s when he dies that makes sense. Richard has some. Everyone keeps on saying that Christina left hers to Alex but wasn’t there a whole episode where Baylie and Alex fought for the shares and Baylie got them?? So that would mean Alex had no shares to give to Jo. The only thing that would make sense is that Callie gave her shares to Arizona when she went to New York and then Arizona gave her shares to Alex when she followed Callie?? Jo sold the shares Alex left her to Korasik. Then everything makes sense. So as of season 18 the board is Mer (with 2x 15 million dollars worth of shares), Korasik (with the same as Mer), Baylie (with Christina’s shares), Richard (with I think 3 million worth of shares) and the Cathrine Fox foundation (with Cathrine herself as the rep.)

She did not suffer a miscarriage with Burke, it was an ectopic pregnancy (the embryo was located in her fallopian tube).

We have two of these so it's still perfectly possible to get pregnant afterwards, assuming the person doesn't have any other fertility issues. It's just a bit less likely.

While her and Mark are together and even after they break up she is super "not herself", just as in her character's personality..it changes. And then the way she gets with Jackson and the way that she is with Jackson really confident, rude ISH to April here and there etc.And then when her and Jackson aren't together anymore, all of the sudden she's back to being really nervous all the time running into things and the way she dresses and everything changes again. Don't get me wrong...I get that in reality people change as they grow or when they're with somebody they do act more confident blah blah blah. But if you go through and select random episodes from every season (in order) with her in them you will totally see what I'm saying. She goes from a nervous girl to a confident woman and then super shy nerd many times. Which doesn't make sense on tv or real life. Haha. This is already way too long but I can talk about this all day it's something that has drove me nuts. Because like I said it isn't like a small change that is kind of normal to go through, it's a huge change if you really look at it and like I said it goes back and forth and back and forth. And it's not little things that changes ....her whole entire personality, the way she dresses, the way she interacts with people and the way she carries herself. I loved Lexie, this is not against her. I'm aggravated that they did that to her, it was really unnecessary and made the character look silly. But as aggravated as I am by it.... I 100% know why they did it. They made her look nervous and shy when she first got there because she was scared to meet Meredith. Then they had to make her super confident and flirty when she was with Mark because that's how he was and they wanted her to be able to go toe to toe with him. She had to be confident and flirty when they broke up because Mark still wanted her and the showrunners wanted to make the tension even higher. And then in the episodes leading up to plane crash the showrunners knew that these were going to be her last ones so I truly believe they wanted us to remember Lexi how she was in the beginning. For the fans they brought her back around full circle and made her the shy, nervous, nerdy, super lovable.. "silly" lexie again. In order to 100% guarantee when she passed that it would hurt a little more when we got our hearts ripped out. So I get it but as a fan that's watched every episode about 250 times, the changes are REALLY obvious and stick out. And now it's all going around in my head .... how do you not see it 🤔😭!?!??!

But since then, there has been no mention of her Spina bifida at all. Now, there are very varying degrees: some people with Spina bifida need to use a wheelchair full time because of paralyzed legs, while others can walk really well. But most have at least a bit of a limp, and possibly other medical issues as well. She did have a shunt revision at some point, but since she had Spina Bifida, I kind of wish the character had had some sort of walking difficulties, perhaps needing leg braces or crutches, or maybe even a wheelchair.

Grey's has always had issues surrounding the age of the original cast that have been exacerbated by the fact that the show doesn't move in real time. The first four seasons only covered one year, and the various time jumps have not made up for it. So, you have to assume it is only 2017 or so in the Grey-verse. So, at the beginning of the show, Pompeo and Chambers are 36 and 35, playing 27, and Chandra Wilson is 36 playing 30-ish. Add in the time lag, and Pompeo, Chambers, and Wilson are 50, 49, and 50 playing 39, 39, and 42-ish. This is already starting to show and will get worse as time moves forward. The other age problem they have is that cast that has been added over the years is closer to their character's age than the original cast was, so in many cases you have Actors who are younger than the original cast playing characters older than Grey, Karev, and Bailey. Ramirez, Capshaw, and Mckidd, all playing 3 or more years older than them are 6, 7, and 4 years younger. Even worse, Jesse Williams and Sarah Drew are 12 and 11 years younger, playing the same age as Grey and Karev. Caterina Scorsone started playing an experienced Brain surgeon at age 29, James Pickens was only 51 when the show started, when the character had to be pushing 60, and let's not even talk about Camilla Luddington being 13 years younger than Chambers. TL;DR: Actor and character ages have been a huge mess from the beginning and have only been made worse by cast turnover.

[@VioletEmerald]

Can we go back to that part about the first 4 seasons all taking place in only 1 calendar year... What???

[@Bikebrh]

@@VioletEmerald According to a Wiki that I found, season 1-3 cover their first intern year, everybody except George start their second intern year in season 4, and finish it at the end of season 5. So, after 5 seasons they are three years behind. They gain one year back in season 11 after Derek dies. So, right now, they are sometime in 2018. The problem is, when displaying dates, they have always used current-at-the-time dates, which has totally screwed the continuity. especially when you consider Station 19, which is is supposed to be current. The dates stopped matching actual time properly sometime in season 2, and has gotten further off since then.

[@mariaelenamattone5221]

@@Bikebrh there are a lot of time jumps throughout the seasons, if you think about it, that in my opinion make up for the lost time: 1. After the shooting in season 6, they jump forward a few months, and we see that in the meantime cristina got engaged and Derek recovered from open heart surgery 2. After Callie and Arizona's car crash in season 7 (I think) callie recovers from massive surgery all during one episode, the episode covers her whole recovery process that lasted for weeks 3. In season 9, after the plane crash, months go by in the span of a couple of episodes, Arizona recovers from her amputation, mark gets better and then worse, and the whole lawsuit and buying out the hospital happens 5. Season 11, like you mentioned, buys the show an entire year 6. After meredith gets beaten up and has her jaw wired shut (cant remember the season) I had the impression that many weeks went by in the span of one episode

@@Luke.Probert It´s a law in the USA. The communication between married people counts as confidential.

[@nancypalombi7523]

What’s always bugged me the most is that Ellis ran to Boston with Meredith when she was 5 years and that’s where Meredith grew up. However, countless times throughout the series things such as her telling Lou “I grew up here” (when talking about the gum tree in Pike Place Market, or Izzie comparing their childhoods and saying stuff like “look at this house you grew up in, I grew up in a trailer.” So which is it? Did she grow up in Boston or Seattle?

[@jadamcleod8063]

I don't think they stayed in Boston for the entire childhood

[@Natalia-sm1pq]

also remember when alex first found “Ava” he said that she had brown eyes and not blue but when we get to see her face in other episodes her eyes are blue

[@leeleelayla5]

In a flashback episode Maggie looked like she was still a kid maybe around middle school at the most early HS age when she was in med school so her timeline might not be a plot hole

[@maritta2504]

Yeah and the show also always made it quite clear that Maggie was some kind of prodigy and that she was always younger than the rest of her class and stuff.

Yeah they always called her a prodigy and sometimes they said how old she was in medschool but I don't remember. It was really young though

[@esm82ify]

Clearly you haven't watched the show on Netflix. Meredith's retreat after Derek's death was setup by her flashbacks of her mother being dumped by Richard...and doing the same thing. I theorized the Harper Avery thing was more because Christina triaged Harper himself without knowing who he was OR they reconsidered their stance when Harper died. It did cost them a gifted physician after all.

[@cindywagner6950]

It also cost Catherine a proposal from Richard. Richard was super mad when he found out Cristina had been robbed like that.

[@lucxsramxs]

Maggie was a super smart child, the show mentions that all the time. She skipped several years in school and graduated really young.

It’s also wrong because the cut out the next line she says to fit their narrative. She says she can’t remember their last HAPPY kiss

[@brittneymeredith1771]

Derek was the reason Meredith changed in the first place. So it would make sense if she went back to old Meredith when he died.

[@shanstergoodheart5177]

The Harper Avery was not a plot hole. They found out that Christina didn't get it because of the conflict issue and then the hospital appealed the decision and won, meaning that they were now eligible. I think Christina even got her Harper Avery in the end.

As far as Maggie's career background, they did show her in flashbacks as being a very young teenager attending medical school. She literally is a child prodigy in the show, it's not an exaggeration.

[@jjdrama]

Maggie is a prodigy and her young age throughout school consistently referenced both directly and indirectly. She is always talking about how her major milestones were different from her school peers since she was so much younger.

[@Stoney0714]

Meredith was able to get the harper avery award because he died and the rules changed.. He was alive when Christina got nominated.

[@jackiem98]

but didn’t meredith win before before harper died

[@karaliabrennan594]

Well didn't Catherine make the rule that stopped Cristina from winning in the first place? Harper was never involved in the owning of the hospital- they basically gave that entire responsibility to Catherine. So the fact that Catherine didn't let Cristina win but let Meredith win shows favoritism. Maybe even racism towards Cristina.

[@sarraboulebtina1761]

Mer leaving actually makes perfect sense she did the same thing her mother did which was a very smart move when mers father went out of the picture her mother left and had a secret baby mer did the same thing after the love of her life died she left and had a baby but she kept the baby and came back showing that she’s better than her mother but greys always run

[@JoaoGabriel-tx7bm]

I don't know if I missed something over the 18 seasons, but the board just disappearing is also really weird. The board consisting of the people in the plane crash plus the chief of surgery simply vanished after a couple seasons. They still mentions that Meredith owns the hospital, but before the board would get together to make any decision and that Jackson was kinda everyone's boss since he was representing the Harper Avery Foundation and then it all disappeared. The chief of surgery went back to having all the power and board never got together again (they had a whole plot about it when Cristina left, then the other board members started leaving and no one filled their spot).

[@kaylapierce9902]

The one that really makes me mad is the one about the Harper Avery award because IN THE SHOW literally right after Christina’s loss they lost a bunch of doctors, so Richard told Catherine in a board meeting that there HAD TO BE A WAY for doctors from the hospital to win an award, which Catherine agreed to

[@katelinburch446]

Majority of these aren’t plot holes. There’s too much going on to focus on lil things like izzie leaving and no one really caring.
