I loved that Izzie was just Izzie all the time. She wasn’t quite what people expected. She was beautiful, sweet, fun, and giving but she was also tough as nails, sassy, messy, needy, and chaotic. She was the most emotional and soft of the characters but, strangely, I think she was also the most private and least vulnerable. I appreciated that she mentioned her childhood when trying to assert how tough she was but never used it as a crutch or an excuse. I really appreciated her strength. When she was just a child, she had the presence of mind to make the best decision possible for her own child. She fought Cancer fiercely but with a smile. Despite having a childhood of poverty and unstable parenting, she was able to use what advantage she did have (her beauty) to put herself through school.
I would have really enjoyed seeing Izzie’s character with a different group of peers (possibly April/Jackson). I think that her character was the character that benefitted the least from the unmanaged structure of the hospital. She wasn’t built to thrive in that kind of environment. The lying, cheating, fighting, and sleeping with people that could benefit her didn’t come naturally to her. Izzie so badly wanted friends and wanted someone to see her for who she was and still love her. I think that with different peers, an actual teacher, and a significant other that actually liked her as a person and loved her as a partner, Izzie could have done really well in life.
As it stood, in Seattle, it was sad to see Izzie’s character just slowly lose herself and become more insecure as time went on. I felt for Izzie because she was really the only person to face consequences for her mistakes on the show. She was on probation for the Denny incident and fired for making a medical mistake, while none of the rest of MAGIC were fired for their numerous medical mistakes or illegal actions. Everyone judged Izzie for being the other woman with George in a way that they didn’t judge Mark, Alex, Lexie, Meredith, etc…. Izzie’s mistakes seemed to always be up for public consumption and judgement.
