Grey's Anatomy is known for killing off its characters, leading many to believe that Jessica Capshaw's character Arizona Robbins died. However, her exit from the show was not as bleak as some might think. Grey's Anatomy has been successful due to its well-rounded characters and deep storytelling, but it has also faced controversies and criticism for how characters are written off.
Arizona Robbins joined the show in season 5 and became a popular character among fans.
She was initially meant to appear in only three episodes but became a series regular. Arizona was involved in a plane crash in season 8, which resulted in the deaths of other characters Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan. While Arizona survived the crash, her leg was severely injured and had to be amputated, causing tension and ultimately leading to the end of her marriage with Callie.
Later on, Arizona and Callie got into a custody battle over their daughter Sofia.
Arizona won sole custody but eventually decided to move to New York so that Sofia could be closer to Callie. This decision marked Arizona's departure from Grey's Anatomy.
Behind the scenes, Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew, who played April Kepner, were fired from the show in 2018 for "creative" reasons.
Grey's Anatomy has been a critically acclaimed show, winning awards and garnering a dedicated fanbase. The series follows the lives of the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital as they face life-or-death decisions and navigate complicated relationships.
