My favorite show is Grey’s Anatomy. I have spent the last year watching the entire series, which is approximately 16 seasons long, with anywhere from 20-30 1-hour long episodes. In fact, the newest season just premiered. One of the characters that has stayed throughout the entirety of the show is Dr. Richard Webber. At the beginning of the series, he is seen and thought of as invincible. He was the Chief of Surgery, the most prestigious position in the entire hospital and controls everything. It doesn’t seem like anything can hurt him. However, as the series continues, we learn so much about Richard, such as the fact that he had an affair, while married, with a coworker, Dr. Ellis Grey, who happens to be the mother of the main character and namesake of the show, Dr. Meredith Grey. He is seen as a father figure to her, even when she doesn’t appreciate it.
