we finally get a good loving mother


and she has cancer?
have you guys noticed that all the good parents just die? and not even in this show, but everywhere on tv?

reply

Finally?
George's mother? Lexie's mother? I can't think of another right now but I'm sure there are more...

reply

burkes mom, Catherine Avery, Carolyn shepherd.

reply

I agree with all of these except Catherine Avery. She's a meddling, manipulative bìtch of a mother who spoiled Jackson (even going as far as to make him president of the board) and in return expects to be able to run his life. He turned out well DESPITE her, not inspight of her.

reply

I get the sense you don't like strong women. Catherine is not without her flaws. It she's certainly not awful.

reply

exactly, Catherine may be meddling, but shes still a good loving mother who gave her child the world and appears to have always put him first.

I mean we havent had many bad mothers. Cristina and Merediths mom were the only horrible moms on the show.

reply

Callie's mother wasn't great either. We never saw Addie's mom but she was bad on PP.

reply

true. I only saw a few episodes of PP and never any with her mom so I cant speak on addie's mother. Im torn about Callie's mother. She essentially abandoned her when she found out she was a lesbian, but up until that point I feel like Callie was also really loved and raised in a great environment.

reply

Yes, I dislike two women on the show, therefore I must hate strong women. Perfectly logical conclusion. *rolls eyes*

reply

Catherine Avery isn't what I would consider a nice person, but she's an awesome Mum.

reply

i meant to include lexie's mom but i totally forgot :/ but also george's mom didn't die. thank god!
i just have a feeling that maggie's mom would be a good addition to the show and was disappointed to have her leave.

reply

Izzie's mom was an airhead and annoying, but you could tell she fiercely loved Izzie.

Derek's mom was great (to Derek...not so much to Amelia...)

Hunt's mom was good too (even if she and Hunt were spatting most episodes she was on)

reply

Arizona has a good mom and dad. Wouldn't mind seeing them again.

reply

I don't think I've missed any eps since Day One but cannot recall ever seeing Arizona's parents or Callie's mom...although I remember hearing about them.

reply

we saw a lot of them during their wedding and the christening

reply

Can't remember them. It's tough getting old...tsk tsk tsk
