The model who baked through the grief · The Original Interns

Izzie Stevens (The model who baked through the grief) is a character in Grey's Anatomy, part of The Original Interns. Izzie Stevens financed med school by modeling, a fact the hospital's snobs deploy until her surgical hands shut them up. She bakes when she grieves (the hospital eats well), adopts hopeless cases as personal missions, and crosses the one uncrossable line — cutting an LVAD wire for the heart patient she fell in love with — in the show's most argued-about arc. Denny's ghost, an 8-million-dollar cheque and a cancer storyline of her own: Izzie is Grey's at its most operatic, sincere and doomed.
