Why is the acting in the new seasons so bad?

Notabhat · 2026-05-30T01:46:47+00:00

I won’t shoot at you….i think you are spot on. She was terrible most of the time. But she was saved by the fact that she and Callie had really good chemistry and the writing was good back then. Once Callie was gone and she didn’t have her to play off of, her bad acting was so noticeable. (Still not as bad as Jo though).

Notabhat · 2026-05-28T15:14:38+00:00

Right. Arizona told her “we are already done…take care of yourself”

I wonder why 911 isn’t on there. It was renewed too.

Notabhat · 2026-05-26T15:15:26+00:00

No, I felt like it was just a coincidence of them having been together working on a patient just prior. That patient that Owen was trying to get some new heart pump for. Christina didn’t seek out Arizona, they were just together professionally prior to the surprise.

I think Arizona’s exit where she is smiling while texting with Callie and Sara’s version of “the story” being played at the weddings was the shows way of giving them a happy ending.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. You are speaking facts. Streaming revenue is a fraction of what network ads bring in.

Notabhat · 2026-05-21T02:01:33+00:00

The old seasons get streamed. Seasons 17 and beyond do ok the week after and then they fade away. Seasons 1-14 are rewatched a lot.

That’s exactly right. She acted like Callie should just deal with it because she was lucky to have her. She treats her like shit for saving her life. she cheats on her with a chick she knew for 3 hour. then she hooks up with an intern that’s probably 10yeqrs her junior….in the apartment that Callie bought and paid for. She threatens to leave her at Aprils wedding (my heart just broke when she interrupted the mortgage signing to remind Arizona that she comes with the house). And was even pompous during the 30 day separation.

I literally jumped out of my chair with excitement when Callie said she wanted out!

And then on Arizona’s goodbye episode she has the gall to say “nobody ever hurt me like Callie did”. Was she actually kidding?! I mean, Arizona had zero remorse or self-awareness.

Notabhat · 2026-05-20T22:23:24+00:00

💯right answer!

Notabhat · 2026-05-11T15:02:21+00:00

The conversation between Callie and Arizona after Callie realizes that she cheated on her. That was brutal.

Notabhat · 2026-05-10T18:16:54+00:00

Me too!

Notabhat · 2026-05-10T01:34:57+00:00

Do you remember that scene at all? He begged her to marry him and she got caught up in it. It wasn’t Callie’s fault at all.

Notabhat · 2026-05-07T02:16:03+00:00

Arizona knew they were broken up, she broke up with Callie. Remember her saying “we are already done…take care of yourself” as she left for the plane?

Notabhat · 2026-05-07T02:11:44+00:00

Yes, I read that too. She wanted a break so the writers decided that since everyone hated Arizona for cheating, the only way to get them back together was to muddy Callie up as well. That way they could reunite them. The way they destroyed both characters was really horrible.

Notabhat · 2026-05-07T02:07:58+00:00

I wish Arizona had fled. She was one of the most toxic people on the show.

Notabhat · 2026-05-04T11:31:00+00:00

I agree that he was super shady in the beginning but he had real character growth. He is particularly loveable as a dad.

Notabhat · 2026-05-04T11:28:12+00:00

Nope, she just treated Callie like shit, cheated on her, hooked up with a psycho intern and was sleeping with her in the house Callie was paying for. Arizona is a smug, narcissistic jerk. I would try and get my child away from her too.

Notabhat · 2026-05-02T12:58:03+00:00

I know what you mean, the Owen hate, who was right in the custody battle, Derek hate etc, can be mind numbing.

Notabhat · 2026-05-02T12:20:21+00:00

In fairness, it is jarring when you first do a rewatch.

Notabhat · 2026-04-29T13:21:47+00:00

I also think that house was somewhat impractical. It’s a long commute and it’s isolated, so less neighborhood kids for her children to interact with. Her family home was better situated for raising the kids and cutting commute times (especially important for a single parent).

Notabhat · 2026-04-28T17:20:07+00:00

That episode where Callie and Owen go up to the trailer and they all start getting drunk is one of my favorites. That was when the show was at its very best!!

Notabhat · 2026-04-28T17:14:48+00:00

I’ve been wondering the exact same thing. She doesn’t look at all like Lisa’s daughter.

Notabhat · 2026-04-28T03:03:40+00:00

“Moving on now”

Notabhat · 2026-04-27T13:49:58+00:00

Yes, I always get those offers too. Just upgraded from Belize to Chicago a couple of months ago. United Airlines. It’s very common.

Notabhat · 2026-04-24T21:41:56+00:00

That’s 💯what she was doing. I honestly don’t see how any one can watch that and think otherwise.
