When Grey's Anatomyfirst started, viewers fell in love with the original cast. As certain characters were killed off, or left, it made us a little heart sore. Of course, when a show goes on for more than fifteen years, it's to be expected that some of the characters may become a little boring or even redundant.

Some of these include characters like Teddy Altman, Tom Koracick and even Richard Webber. We understand that new characters or fresh blood needs to be introduced at some stage, but the newer guys (like Levi and Nico) don't even seem to have much of a vibe. We're hoping that they move on quickly and that there are newer, more interesting characters to get hooked on to soon!

While some of these characters have recently left, we would certainly have removed them a lot sooner! But, better late than never also helps we guess.

We met Teddy in season six. Since then she has become more permanent. She's been around the block and even married a patient. Recently she gave birth to Owen's baby, but she's in love with Tom. In recent episodes, it was revealed that she was once in love with a woman too...

This was Meredith's first love interest after Derek died. Nathan was involved with Maggie and Meredith, but in the end was able to get back to his original love. It was thanks to this that he was able to exit the show. His dry personality was not one we enjoyed.

Catherine seems to be nothing but a bully who buys whatever she wants - and even what she doesn't want! She has this 'air' about her but the arrogance seems to come from her bank balance.Besides this, does she even have a personality? She's definitely no Ellis Grey, is she?

After 16 seasons, Alex finally made his move to leave the show. Fans were not impressed, and after his disappearancewe had our theories of where he had gone. One of these was back to Izzie. It was soon revealed that he did actually go back to her and their kids.

Atticus Lincoln recently joined the Grey's Anatomy team and is a long lost friend of Jo's. Alex didn't really like this idea but now that Link is having a baby with Amelia, he isn't going to be going anywhere soon - sadly. He doesn't really seem like an awesome doctor either...

Jo and Alex walked a very difficult road together. Even as individuals, they had rough starts to life. Eventually though, they finally got hitched and Jo was also moving up in her career when out of the blue, Alex leaves. So isn't it kind of pointless having her left behind?

Who rememberswhen Webber colored his hair to remove thegrey bits? This was back in the dayswhen Mark and Derek were still around, so it just goes to show how old he really is. Isn't it time to hang up the scrub cap and put down the scalpel?

Tom is the female version of Catherine (and rumor has it they once hooked up too...). He is also very arrogant and will sleep with almost anyone. He's sort of like the new Mark Sloan - and look how that ended... Shonda, please take Tom Koracick away from our favorite show!

Levi, AKA Glasses, recently fell in love with Nico (another guy). He never even realized that he was actually gay - neither did we since he went to bed with Jo, too. Nevertheless, his character doesn't seem to have much promise, so maybe now is the time to make an exit.

Carina has been on the show for a while, and even dated Arizona. She's had her fair share of screen time but now seems to be dragging her feet as a doctor. She hasn't really made much of a contribution since diagnosing Amelia's brain tumor, so maybe it's home time?

Nico is a hypocrite and he made Levi feel really bad. He had a lot to say because Levi had not 'come out' yet, but Nico also hadn't told his own parents about his love life... Nevertheless, and like Levi, there doesn't seem to be much promise or personality here.

We met Owen in season five, he came to Cristina's rescue when she had a massive piece of ice piercing her stomach. Owen's role has seemingly become boring and redundant. There's not much more for him to do now, and he needs to leave - or at least leave cheating Teddy!

April joined as a timid and insecure young doctor who had lots to learn, especially how to be confident in herself. Her role seemed to drag on - out of what could have been pure desperation. She's been married, divorced, had babies, worked in the war - what more could be done?

Arizona's character also goes way back. She survived so much, including the plane crash where she lost her leg. Arizona taught us a lot, especially after taking Sophia on as her own child. But after Callie left and Mark died, it was about time that she moved on and out.

When Maggie first joined, viewers may have been a little confused as to why she was even there. For such a young person, she sure has achieved a lot, too. She never seems to make much of a forward move in her relationships and seems so stagnant as a character.

Nicole likes to think of herself as a young, vivacious and talented individual. Previously she wrote for TheQuiz, and thoroughly enjoyed it. While being the mum of a young toddler (and a bunch of fur babies) she still holds down a full time job. Nicole also has a hubby to keep her on her toes. Back in the day, she worked as a Basic EMT before pursuing an office job. Nicole never finished her studies in psychology but did get a certificate in being a nail tech.
