Denny Duquette

I am not a public advocate of Grey's Anatomy. For the most part it's like reading the tabloids. A guilty pleasure that I don't keep up with, but every once in a while, I need a quick fix. I only own season 2, but I've watched it about 5 times. And midway through the season they introduce a new character, Denny Duquette. He's both a patient and a love interest for Izzie. But he's my favorite. It's because I'm a romantic, but everything about Izzie and Denny's relationship warms my heart like nothing else. The season finale makes me cry every time, even though I know what's going to happen. When it comes to a true sappy crazy oh-my-gosh-I-wish-that-was-me love stories, I hold this as the modern day standard. Don't misunderstand. It's not perfect. They aren't perfect. In fact, Izzie is kind of stupid. But they... are fun and cute and I feel... jealous... when I watch. Perhaps that's a bad thing. Maybe I'm too emotionally involved with fictional characters. But that's how i roll... which the fictitious. I have this very loose grasp on reality. I function better that way.
