The Most-Hated Grey's Anatomy Character Ever

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

While Izzie Stevens may have her flaws, there's truly just one character that most sensible fans can agree is downright terrible... and his name is Dr. Owen Hunt. Owen, played by Kevin McKidd, came to Grey's Anatomy in Season 5, and ever since that fateful arrival, he's proven over and again that he's straight garbage. 

At first, he was mildly sympathetic, suffering from PTSD after serving as a trauma surgeon in Iraq. But after almost strangling Cristina Yang during a night terror, he fought her about getting treatment. This was the first indication of his stubbornness, which only gets more insufferable season after season. Owen later made Yang feel guilty about not wanting to have a child with him, despite the fact that the character expressed over and over again during her time on the show that she never wanted to be a mother. 

He consistently plays the victim in his relationships, stringing Teddy along for a literal decade before finally declaring his love to her in Germany on a whim, leaving her heartbroken and eventually pregnant after a one-night stand. While Amelia's brain tumor and substance misuse issues didn't necessarily make her an easy person to be married to, he still uses her illnesses against her when he wants to make her feel bad during a fight.
