Were still unclear on what exactly led to Justin Chambers exit fromGreys Anatomy as fans, we were certainly shocked to hear the news earlier this month. And while we also knew we wouldnt be seeing Dr. Alex Karev on the show again (ABC confirmed that his last episode had already aired), we were still hoping for more of a sendoff than we got last night. Greys Anatomybarely mentioned Alex Karevs departure in their Season 16 midseason premiere (and first crossover with Station 19)last night, and , uh, has some feelings about how they handled it.

Greys Anatomyis known for giving characters big, dramatic goodbyes. And after Alexs 16 years on the show, hed certainly earned it. But instead of, say, devoting an episode to Alexs farewell, last nights premiere only briefly mentioned Alex. In his last episode, which aired November 16, Alex flew to Iowa to care for his mother in last nights episode, its confirmed (in passing) that thats still where he is. We find out that McWidow has taken over his job at Grey Sloan, and then thats pretty much it.

So theyre really gonna leave us with Alex visiting his mom and thats it, one fan tweeted. Alex is in Iowa,' another fan quoted from the episode. FOREVER??!!! Are they gonna make his plane go down?! Someone make this exit make sense, please.

Other fans were upset at how ABC had handled the whole situation if Justin Chambers was asking for more money, for example, couldnt they have just paid him?! And another fan had an idea for who could have exited instead: I already miss Alex Karev yall couldnt have gotten rid of Owen instead??

Mostly, fans are just devastated to say goodbye to one of their all-time faves: Greys Anatomy without Alex Karev is rough. I miss you, a tweet reads.

After all, he was one of the few remaining original cast members he was with us from the very beginning!

And as for the show trying to distract us with shiny new doctorsnot so fast. This new peds doctor aint doing it for me, one fan weighs in. No one can ever replace DR. ALEX KAREV.
