I used to be a shipper for these two, I swear. From season one, all the way up to around mid-S2. But the character assassination that has gone on here pains me, and the fact is that this ship, at this point in time, makes no sense for the characters involved. It also destroyed any enthusiasm I had for the last third of the season. One main thing is, I love Geroge and Izzie's friendship. It was a strong, true friendship, almost one of its kind on TV. And then, as is the cliche, they have sex and fall in love (out of NOWHERE). I believe they are soulmates, but not sexual or romantic ones. They belong to each other as friends. And anything more than that seems untrue to the characters. And the circumstances. The two get drunk and have sex, and suddenly they are in love? Not to mention this makes George yet another adulterer/cheater (After Addison, Derek, Ellis, Webber, and Alex) and Izzie another 'dirty mistress' (after Olivia, Meredith and Mark). There are some serious fidelity issues on this show, and it's troubling me. And after the hissy fit Izzie had back in S2 over Alex sleeping with another girl while they were dating (after what, one date?), now she's completely okay with sexing up her married best friend and ruining his marriage? I just can't believe that. (Of course, I'm still reeling from Izzie's ridiculous re-entry into the intern program, and her ridiculously over the top relationship with Denny. I like the girl, but seriously, her plots always make me cringe. Maybe the writers just don't know how to properly write for Izzie. Maybe she can have an over the top storyline where she has cancer and dies.) No offense meant to the George/Izzie shippers. If it had been better handled, I probably would be one of you. But after the insulting way this ship was thrown together and shoved into a show I'm supposed to love instead of growing organically like it could've, I'm still deciding how many episodes I'm giving S4 to regain my interest. Especially when my favourite character (Addison) is departing the show for a spinoff. Anyways, you can continue your George/Izzy party now. I'll just let myself out.

I love George and Izzie together. No one is going to change my opinion of it. I'll be pissed if Shonda just drops the storyline because I was led to believe that she would follow her original plan for the show no matter how people react. There are a lot of people who like George and Izzie together, but they're scared to voice their opinion because of the few vocal haters. Gail said it best in my opinion.

It just wouldn't be believable for them to try to back them out of their storyline before it even got the chance to really be told, and like some of you are saying, if the haters get their way and this storyline is dropped, they're almost certain to move on to attacking the next storyline they decide they don't like for whatever reason, figuring that if the writers caved this time, that they probably would do so again, starting a vicious cycle that'd probably never end until the show became a parody of its former self. Just bad news all the way around. Then again, I've been a G/I fan since at least midway through season two, so in that context, it only makes sense that I'd love to see this storyline be given the chance it deserves...and given a little time and some decent writing, I'm sure even some of the haters will turn around in favour of the O'Stevens love...;) I’m with most of you in thinking that it wouldn’t make any sense for Shonda to drop the George/Izzie storyline when it’s clear she loves them together, and has clearly slowly built up to this point with them pretty much since the show began, as even she herself has said.

They both bring out the best in each other and sometimes to worst, but that's what a real couple is like and that's why I adore them. I really hope they have a chance in the next season, it would be terrible to see the love they have be wasted.

People always mention haters but I never see them. Almost everyone I know who watches Grey's likes Gizzie. Gizzie is the best part of the show I doubt I'll tune in without Gizzie.

Unconventional, yes. Surprising, sure. But they're adorable together, and seem to have a real connection. Always have, always will. I love that it's so unexpected, and yet there are some people who have been rooting for an O'Stevens hook up from the beginning. I think a small group of haters can scream louder than a loud group of lovers, and that's the case here. Because there are plenty of people, people who may not necessarily go on line and participate in focus groups, that love the idea of George and Izzie together.

I feel so unheard! All I ever see are articles online about how everyone hates Gizzie and yet there are tons of fan videos, fictions, and sites dedicated how great they are. Who ARE they polling? I feel discouraged and sad. I don't know how I could go back to watching them just as friends. I feel let down and angry. I have to agree with Gail. I feel so unheard!

At any given point, SOMEONE doesn't like something that is happening on a show. You can't please everyone and as writers, you shouldn't try. It's a disrespect of your creativity and vision for the show if you write to please people. The George/Izzie relationship deserves a chance to win people over and I think it will. I've seen it coming from the beginning and I'm in full support of it. I’ll be disappointed in the writers if they drop a storyline because some people dislike it.
