Introduction to Callie.
Underwear dancing in her illegal basement of the hospital home....
GiphyI liked Calliope at first. This full figured, weird, and self-loving human seemed like a great addition to the cast and in George's (my favorite character at the time) love life. However, Callie quickly devolved into a ME ME ME person and there was a lot of inconsistencies in her backstory and character. Callie seemed to be this rock n roll hardcore chick. Until she was suddenly volatile, emotional, with standard family Catholic goals. There was also the issue of money. She lived in the hospital basement since she was always there and it was cheaper.
However, it is later revealed that due to her father's deep pockets Callie can afford a $1,000+ dollar a night hotel room. So after that little rich child fact came into the light of day, the other facts including that she was illegally living in a hospital because it was cheaper seemed to not add up anymore. Also, the new Callie seemed to not worry about money at all. It was as though everything was handed to her and when things got rough or not fun anymore she yelled or fought until the person on the opposing side was beaten into submission.
BISEXUALITY.
Redeeming Quality and A Good Story Line
GiphyPost George scandal and breakup, Callie had a great storyline for a brief time via Hans. Her budding relationship with Erika Hans created a new layer to Callie that irrigated away from the rich intitled self-involved attitude we had come to expect from Callie. Her finding her way through this new world or spectrum of sexuality with her partner was unexpected but perfect. Callie really found herself here and she was very tolerable as a person. This, of course, all changed after Hans left and Callie went back to the old Callie. It makes sense that she reverted as George leaves and then this new love leaves her as well just as she was finding contentment with herself. However much it makes sense, I still don't like what she put Arizona through.
Arizona.
I loved their relationship but.....
GiphyI absolutely love Arizona Robbins. Love her. I stan her. I even stanned her relationship with Callie at first. However cute and adorable her life was with Callie it all seemed to crack and fall apart once things were getting too comfortable goodness between the two of them. Like most relationships, they were tested. Things were going great and Arizona and Callie were in that lovely cute love stage where it seems like they can take on anything. Then in almost passing comment, their first real battle would begin. Babies. Arizona didn't want to have children. For good reason that would make sense in a few later episodes.
For starters, her big brother died at a very young age from an unexpected incident that really no one could prevent. Since then she has wanted to be able to help children so that no family would have to experience what her family did. Although that was her goal, in peds you have to be "hardcore" and sometimes you can't save them all. Arizona in her many years she saw a lot of kids she couldn't save and decided that she would not bring a child into her life that had the plausibility that she wouldn't be able to save. Callie being Callie could not understand that and kept pressing the issue which caused this huge rift between the two of them.
Like a miracle, Callie seems to cave just when a new problem surfaces. A tremendous life-changing opportunity for Arizona arrives and Callie is not having it. In attempts to be supportive Callie rips apart the opportunity every step of the way. Making snide comments that she tries to brush off as jokes. They finally arrive at the airport and Arizona has had enough. It makes sense all that fighting caused this toxic rift between the two of them and Callie was not getting what she wanted. How could she? So Arizona called the whole thing off in attempts to have them both succeed. Callie, of course, saw this as Arizona leaving her and poor pitiful Callie hurt again. So on the first night of her alone, she sleeps with Mark again. Causing the baby issue to be null and void when Arizona quickly comes home to get her girl back.
What does Arizona do? She grovels at a slammed shut door for the women who immediately slept with her "best friend" and got pregnant with the baby that she always wanted that Arizona couldn't give her. Arizona is rightfully mad but goes with it in order to keep Callie. After that their relationship is a series of toxic fights and selects a few good moments. They make it by Arizona caving at every fight. This makes it so Arizona loses herself along the way. Not only that but she loses a leg and that completely changes her even further. They make it through it seems. But that toxic part of their relationship is still there underneath.
Until finally once Arizona is finally back of her feet she begins to act out. I am not condoning what she did. Although she did continued to try to push that horrid woman off but the woman kept pressing. Arizona cheated but I believe she cheated because she needed one thing that she could be selfish about. Since in their relationship she never got to be the selfish one. Not with children, not with Africa, not with Mark, not with her own leg really (aside from a few months), and not with Sofia.
After they seem to get over all their issues and come back together after Callie calls it quits and then suddenly decides they should get back together they go to counseling and Callie doesn't take the counseling at all serious. Arizona is the one who really tries. Then once they finally make it through that incredibly dumb task they were assigned CALLIE CALLS IT QUITS RIGHT AFTER ARIZONA TOLD HER HOW MUCH SHE LOVES HER!!!! OH BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!
Everything she ever wanted...until it wasn't.
Honestly I think her relationship with Mark was good and weird.
GiphyCallie had everything she could have ever wanted. Her father approved of her man in a sandstorm wife. She had a beautiful daughter. She has almost unlimited funds. She had Mark. She had Arizona. She had Meredith as her best friend. She decided to call it all off. She decided that. She divorced Arizona. She moved on quickly right in front of Arizona. Even going so far as to say I am taking our daughter with me to New York to raise her with my new fantastic pretty Penny. Basically even post their breakup Callie was still calling all the shots and expecting for everything to go her way. Guess what spoiler alert IT STILL DOES GO HER WAY!!!
She's Gone But Not Forgotten...
She might be gone but she still is an issue.
GiphyCallie leaves the show after a custody battle with Arizona over her leaving with Sofia to live in New York. In real life- though I do think that there is no way Arizona would have won but I was glad she did win. Since Penny had barely been a part of Sofia's life and shouldn't have had to suddenly be made a mother while winning an unbelievable opportunity to study medicine. That was unfair.
I mean imagine you're a resident who already works past exhaustion, you get an even more strenuous research task/award and when you do come however you have a six-year-old and your very needy woman to deal with. That seems not fun or fair. Also taking Sofia away without much conversation with Arizona was already feeling excluded, not fair. But after winning full custody what does the queen Arizona do? Gives in to Callie and allows Sofia to leave and be raised by Penny and Callie in New York...all the way across the country.
In short, I don't like Callie. She basically throws fits until the people she loves all cave in and go with what she wants. Honestly, she must have had one heck of a rich girl pout growing up since she gets it all all the time. Relationships are a give and take. They are hard. However, one person should not be the one that gives all the time. Sure Callie let Arizona grieve for a while over the loss of her leg but that was expected to get over with soon and when it wasn't Callie made it well known she wasn't happy with it.
You should be allowed to grieve and grow. You should be allowed to have your way some of the time. If your partner can't come to an agreement then it's okay to call it quits. Honestly, I think it would have been better if Callie and Arizona had called it before when they both wanted different things i.e not wanting and wanting a family. They should have ended it then. They were toxic. Cute and adorable but toxic.
ABC
1. Jack and Rebecca Pearson in This Is Us
I don't exaggerate when I say that I cried at least once during every episode of This Is Us. Jack Pearson is the type of man any woman would die for. The Jack and Rebecca love story is unmatched by any other fictional couple. Through every hardship, their love remained pure and Jack would do anything for both his family and his wife.
When he died of smoke inhalation, though I knew it was going to happen, I cried for hours. Rebecca was left a widow, raising three children while mending her broken heart and I knew damn well that they deserved a much longer love story than Dan Fogelman gave them.
2. Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd in Grey’s Anatomy
The death of Derek Shepherd, to this day, breaks my heart. After 11 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, even I knew Derek needed a head CT after his car accident. Meredith and Derek survived a gunshot, love affairs, and long distance, but because Derek just so happened to be a good Samaritan and help someone on the side of the road, their story was cut short. Thank you, Shonda Rhimes, you break my heart every day.
3. Jane Villanueva and Michael Cordero Jr. in Jane the Virgin
Jane messed around in this Michael-Rafael love triangle for too many seasons. When she finally chose to marry Michael it felt as though everything was finally falling into place. Of course, though, Michael had to have a near death experience that didn't kill him immediately.
Instead, the producers waited for a few episodes before he suddenly dies during his LSATs. I was rooting for Michael and Jane, especially since Jane had her happy ending with the love of her life, but instead was left heartbroken.
4. Phoebe and Mike in Friends
When we think of Friends, we think of Monica and Chandler or Ross and Rachel, but no one really gives Phoebe and Mike enough attention. They complimented each other so well, but we never saw enough of them as they were overshadowed by the other power couples.
5. Brooke and Lucas in One Tree Hill
I will forever be a Lucas and Peyton fan, but Brooke deserved more credit. Though she did date Lucas first, Peyton and Lucas were destined to be together. Their relationship ended when Lucas decided to be unfaithful, but who could blame him when his middle school crush finally had feelings for him. Nonetheless, they didn't deserve to end on such a bitter note, especially since they had beautiful moments together and loved each other throughout.
6. Hank and Karen in Californication
While Californication isn't the most popular show on Netflix, there are many captivating moments anyone can relate to. Highly recommend. Hank and Karen have the most complicated relationship, but at a point for they just needed to pull their heads out of their asses and love each other. When Hank finally gets his life on track, Karen marries someone else.
When Karen finally realizes she still loves Hank, he accidentally sleeps with someone else — watch the show for a better understanding of that one. While they do have a kid together, they never seem to work out their issues, even though it's obvious they will always come back to each other.
7. Barry Allen and Iris West in The Flash
For all the superhero nerds out there, I know that you've always rooted for Barry and Iris. With Barry always having to save the world from another metahuman, their relationship was never able to flourish. When they finally end up together, something has to be altered in the time continuum that forces them apart. It's just a never ending cycle for these two.
8. Rory and Dean in Gilmore Girls
Innocent Rory Gilmore always went after the bad boys, both in high school and in college. Her high school sweetheart, Dean, was so pure and loved her with all his heart. Of course, she was rebellious, despite her perfect grades and admission into both Yale and Harvard, and chose Jess Mariano and then Logan Huntzberger. Rory and Dean never stood a chance, but they deserved a much better ending than what Rory allowed.
9. Lexie and Mark in Grey’s Anatomy
After the plane crash everything changed for the Grey's Anatomy crew. Lexie and Mark were such a beautiful couple, and I don't mean specifically their relationship, they were just beautiful looking people. The death of both of them stirred up some somber feelings for episodes to come as Lexie and Meredith were sisters and Mark and Derek were best friends. The death of any fictional couple is heartbreaking, especially when they go out together.
10. Andy and Erin in The Office
They were no Jim and Pam, but there was still a spark between the two. Andy and Erin were awkward, but fun-loving and I honestly thought they were a perfect match. So what, she ends up with Pete? No one put up with her awkward mannerisms and incompetence just like Andy.
11. Nate and Serena in Gossip Girl
I will always ship Nate and Serena over Dan and Serena. Their lives lined up as they were both Upper East Side born and raised and they were just one of those couples who looked good together. Even though Serena does choose Dan over Nate, they stay close friends for the entirety of the show, so I guess they did have a happy, platonic ending.
12. Barney and Robin in How I Met Your Mother
Barney is the biggest player New York City saw in How I Met Your Mother with his body count hitting 200 women in season 4, but there was something about Robin that kept him grounded. Even when they found out they were third cousins, they still got married. Yeah, after three years they got divorced, but their manipulative, Type A personalities aligned so perfectly that I thought maybe they stood a chance.
13. Kourtney and Scott in Keeping Up With the Kardashians
I know, Kourtney and Scott were a real couple, but I was still rooting for them. They have an entire family together and it would just be a perfect Hollywood match up if they worked out their drama. Scott, obviously, didn't treat Kourtney right, but he seems to have gotten his life on track now. So I say, why not?
