There is a division of opinion regarding Katherine Heigl's Izzie Stevens. And sadly, many of those opinions are negative. And personally, I do not understand the hate.
Based on the last 3 episodes alone, Izzie's character made season 2 what it is. No season has yet to surpass the impact that this season made; ratings-wise. Of course there are a LOT of note-worthy episodes of this season: E5,6,16,17...but season finales are usually how the season is remembered. And when you think of season 2, you think of Denny and Izzie and LVAD wire.
There is of course a lapse of judgment in Izzie's part... but that's how the drama's supposed to go. And she delivered great! From episode 25-27, you can feel her love, panic, scared, guilt, defiance, stubbornness, happiness, hope, and pain, so much pain, and all those are for Denny. And you felt her succumb to the batte she lost and just gave up. A perfect roller coaster ride from one character, one actress.
My point again is I do not understand the hate that is thrown to the character.
Is it because of how the writers made Izzie?
Or how Katherine Heigl portrayed Izzie?
Because if it's the first one, I agree that Izzie's storylines are far from perfect. But I love that her character is so flawed because she is already physically perfect to look at. Like Cristina Yang said in an episode with the quints: "I like you better pissed off. You almost seem human." She is flawed here and there but she also has the most compassionate heart. If only Izzie's character stayed on for longer, I can only imagine the character development she'll have.
If it's the second one, then I don't think so, because Katherine Heigl is perfect for the role. Emmy agrees. And I couldn't imagine any of the main casts play the storyline as well as she did.
I'll end it there.
