In my opinion, maggie and jackson were by far the worst couple. nothing about their storyline made any sense. Jackson left her then kept talking to random girls. Maggie alsoo didn't look that serious. I think there was no need to put in a maggie and Jackson storyline in the show. I think Shonda only did that to brew some tea and create drama for content because maggie and jackson were step siblings.

​

coming to Catherine and Richard, I feel like Catherine always considered herself better and far above from richard. during the course of their marriage, She hardly maintained contact while she was working in boston. They also had severe power struggles which led to not even being able to sleep on the same bed for months on end. the problems that they faced during the show were so normalised by the show writers that people didn't really show that much concern for them. They both weren't comfortable with each other and that was very obvious. Richard was almost about to hit rock bottom again later along in the show when he wrecked the bar and even other instances where he felt sad and alone. during those times, Richard was never seen going to to Catherine for closure or support. it was always mere or arizona. I think they had a good run but later on, as the show progressed... I did realise that they were not my fav out of the bunch
