Dr. Callie Torres

Actress Sara Ramirez plays Callie Torres on the show. She may not be an original cast member but she’s pretty close. In the beginning she didn’t really fit in with everyone else and when she started dating George O’Malley she found it really hard to get along with Izzie, Meredith and Cristina. Over time you see her character grow she got married to George and then got a divorce, she dealt with George’s death, she started dating girls and found the girl of her dreams, she got pregnant by her best friend and almost died in a car accident before having her daughter, she lost her best friend in a plane crash which also her wife was in and had to amputate her leg, she watched her marriage fall apart and although she’s gone through all of that and so much more she still stands strong. She is the perfect example of strong even when she breaks down every now and again she always gets back up and tries again. She’s the chief of Ortho, She’s stands up for who she is and is proud of it, she’s a mother, and I don’t think anyone could disagree that she’s an amazing person. Like in the last post, she isn’t ashamed of who she loves and Arizona Robbins and Callie were definitely one of the power couples of the show. Another spoiler, is Callie has a new gf and Arizona is a little jealous even though they now are divorced it’s been a tough journey for them both to let go but they knew they weren’t happy anymore. I think this shows again how strong Callie is because she’s lost a lot of people she’s loved and cared deeply for whether by death, or in the other case divorce she found herself very unhappy and although she did she eventually managed to work pass the pain and found someone new who made her feel happy again and that isn’t by any means easy. Like many others on the show she’s definitely someone to look up to and even though she’s come a long way and it’s just the beginning of season 12 I feel she going to keep surprising everyone with her strength and compassion for her job and people. Lastly, I’ll end this with a clip of the episode from her accident which was the musical episode on the show and a favorite quote by her (shown above).
