Rant: Is it just me or is Grey's Anatomy trying to force way too many boring new characters on us?

I feel like this show is circling the drain. No more Cristina. And now suddenly trying to make the (to me) very uninteresting Jo, Derek's sister, and Meredith's new, OTHER long-lost sister into main characters just isn't working for me. I've never cared about Derek and Meredith, or Callie and Arizona for that matter (I realize I'm in the minority in the latter). Owen, Bailey, the Chief, Alex, and Karev are the only surviving characters I still care about and who aren't shrill, boring, uncharismatic, or stuck with repetitive plot lines. Enough C&A drama. Enough tension between D&M.

Well, they wouldn't have to introduce so many new characters if they didn't kill so many characters off.

Grey's jumped the shark a long time ago.

Seriously. I've lost track of how many of my favorite characters have died.

I don't like Meredith's new sister, but Meredith's behavior this season, esp, her reaction to the news is making me dislike her more. As an adoptive mother she should have better poise. Plus, my mom had a baby when I was 6 and I don't remember it at all --the proof is my middle brother.

I like Jo, most of the time. LOVE Derek's sister. Not really much of a fan of Meredith's new sister. Hate that they're basically using the exact same lines as when Lexi came into the picture (Meredith repeatedly saying that she isn't her sister)

And I can't even follow where everyone falls in the chain of command.

Meredith is becoming very un-likeable. I miss badass Callie from when she first came on the show, before she even got involved with George. Similarly, I miss the old Arizona.

The show entered the realm of the terminally boring about 4-5 yrs. ago ...

Cannot believe it's still on the air. Have not thought about it in years.

I understand why the actor left, but I really miss George. I loved the relationship he and Bailey had, and would have loved to see him become chief.

I thought this show had ended long ago.

+1. Had no idea it was still on the air.

I still watch it and still enjoy it. Yes, it's strayed quite a bit from where it once was, but characters are evolving. Meredith is a little pissy this season, but keep in mind Derek was considering moving to DC, and her person left. Now she has another random sibling added into her already unstable life.

I still watch although Cristina was my favorite. I soft of like Meredith's new sister and in an odd way think she sort of looks like her.

Derek's sister had a big role on the spinoff show Private Practice, which was canceled a couple years ago. She was an addict and bizarrely, especially given that she's a neurosurgeon, gave birth to a baby without a brain or whose brain was outside its skull or something.

Clearly I watch too much TV.

I'm quite sure this will happen in the next few weeks. Or maybe they'll save it for the Christmas episode.

I still miss George too. He was my favorite.
