'Grey's Anatomy' Season 16: Link and Amelia's romance may be doomed just like the other couples before them
'Grey's Anatomy' is not known for successful and happy relationships. Think for yourself, which couple on this show actually got to ride off happily into the sunset?
Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd's epic love story spanning 11 seasons ended in a fatal car crash. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and Cristina Yang's break up (Sandra Oh's) was comparatively less painful than the rest as Cristina left for greener pastures. Jackson (Jesse Williams) and April Kepner's (Sarah Drew) passionate romance faded out too. Mark Sloane (Eric Dane) saw Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) die in a catastrophic airplane crash. Later, Mark died too. Callie Torres (Sarah Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins's relationship didn't make it either despite the tears and heartbreak. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr) and Catherine Fox (Debbie Allen) are going to separate. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) won't be seen anymore in the show and we're nervously biting our fingernails because we don't know what this means for Jo (Camilla Luddington).
So, after sticking with 'Grey's Anatomy' for 15 years, it seems rather improbable that the relatively new relationship between Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) and Link (Chris Carmack) will survive the baby drama that has been thrust upon them. For a long time, Amelia was under the impression that the father of the baby was Link...except, uh oh, there's a chance it might be Owen Hunt's. Owen and Amelia's relationship was the most complicated and dragged out spectacle on the show and digging that up again, just spells doom for Link and Amelia. Also, Owen had just about found happiness with Teddy (Kim Raver), but that might just go south soon.
Link has asked Amelia to do a paternity test and she has asked for time and is avoiding him. When will that girl ever get happiness, Grey's? Going by the show's track record, this just *might* be the end. But, no harm in staying positive, right?
'Grey's Anatomy' airs on ABC, Thursday nights, 9pm.
