Her character wasn’t terrible in the beginning, a little whiny but you could deal with it. Now, after going through the loss of a child and time in the army, Kepner’s kind of lost her sh*t. Personally, I’m glad the character is being written out of the show, every time I see her in
1. Blaming Jackson for losing her virginity
Everyone says it, but it takes two to tango. You’re not innocent and you made a conscious decision. You can’t blame Jackson for taking your virginity. At this point, you come to terms with what has happened and just figure out where this puts you in relation to your faith.
2. Leaving Matthew at the altar
I know this happens in real life, but it’s seriously messed up. She knew going into her wedding day that she still had feelings for Jackson, but instead of flat out saying she would rather be with him she continued on with a wedding her heart wasn’t seriously in. Rude and broke Matthew’s
3. Leaving Jackson to go into the army
Even though she is grieving and thinks the only way to get through this is to distract herself by joining the army, she wasn’t alone in losing Samuel. Just because she was the mother and carried the child, doesn’t mean Jackson didn’t feel a large amount of hurt after losing the baby. Running away from your spouse should never be the solution. No matter how hurt you are, you should be fighting the grief and pain by leaning on each other: a lesson April didn’t understand.
4. Not caring for her child
Although children aren’t seen a lot on the show, whenever you see Harriet it’s usually because April is handing her off to Jackson. After going through losing her first child, to then have this little miracle, you’d think she’d do a little less partying and leaving Harriet with Jackson all the time.
5. The constant nagging
It seems that every time you see her character in the show this season all she’s doing is yelling at some intern. This isn’t to say other doctors don’t yell at them either but with her it’s a constant. It’s not just interns either, it’s Jackson, Owen, Alex; literally every single person on the show. She may be spiraling but that means she should try to lean on those closest to her, not yell at them every time they express concern.
