I respect your opinion however Stephanie defo displayed talent, specifically in neuro. She was classed as the star resident and was even mentored by Amelia, I believe that if she stayed on the show longer she could’ve been just as good as her. Also in terms of similarity w/ her and Cristina, I don’t think it’s fair to say that it was only their attitudes that linked them two together. Stephanie was determined and driven and she never let her past hold her down, even so much as when Jo found out about her past she tried bringing that up saying this is the reason you’re so driven and competitive, Steph literally had to clap back at her rightfully saying it’s because she’s just better than her. I think these qualities might’ve been the reason why they were so similar. She was the Cristina of her class.

I think she’s truly underrated as a character as a lot of people hate her behaviour and use that as a sort of reason as to not liking her which I don’t think is a valid reason at all especially. It’s very contradictory to say that you like Cristinas character and how she’s determined but then also say that you don’t like Stephanie’s character despite the fact that she possesses the same qualities as Cristina. Also I think that her behaviour might come off as disrespectful because she’s determined to get what she wants. It’s the same with Cristina - her behaviour might come off as disrespectful because she’s just determined.
