Couples Countdown Nr.7

Izzie & Alex
(Grey's Anatomy)



Current status: Married
The Beginning: It wasn't exactly love at first sight: Izzie despised Alex for… well being a jerk and only after some time she realized that there was more to him than she thought.
Course of the Relationship: After some time, Alex asks Izzie out on a date but because he just got to know he failed his medical exams, he treated her shabbily. Izzie is very mad but eventually they kiss in a bar and start to go out. Their relationship comes to an end when Alex sleeps with a nurse and Izzie falls in love with another man, the patient Denny, but continues to sleep with Alex. Eventually she gets engaged to Denny but he dies and it's Alex who picks her up and carrys her out. They don't get together because Izzie's not ready for a new relationship. Izzie falls in love with George, Alex likes Ava who turns out to be mentally ill. Both relationships don't last and Alex is devastated and turns to Izzie for comfort. They kiss and after some time, become a couple. They are in love, but Izzie gets cancer which worries them both.
The End & Future: Before Izzie's surgery, they spontaneously ger married and fight cancer together. After her surgery, Izzie can't remember what happened and eventually, her heart stops.

When I fell in love with them: I think it was the kiss in the bar. They have been friends for some time but this kiss was so passionately, I couldn't help leaning to the TV.
Why I like them: Once again an on-off relationship. I liked the concept that Alex used to be very arrogant and Izzie is this sweet lttle girl and still they are torn to each other like a moth to a flame. He can be kind of soft and she likes his vulnerable side. Of course he cheated on her but eventually, he's there for him (e.g. after Denny's death) and she's there for him (when Ava turns crazy).
Best Moment: It has to be the kiss in the bar, as mentioned above.
Saddest Moment: I was almost (!) crying in the season 4 finale when Alex turns to Izzie for comfort and they kiss for the first time after they have been separated for almost a season.

Why Nr.7? One of the couples I don't really know how to feel about; I used to not like them together. They gained many points this season because they both grew up and became a real couple.
Miscellaneous: Will Izzie live or die? They might become the second couple on my list parted by death.
