Greys Anatomy has been around since 2005 and is still being aired to this day by ABC, the show made it to 16 seasons and has no signs of slowing down. The American TV medical drama has become the longest-running scripted primetime show on the network to date and the series success quickly sparked an incredible fan base and a massive amount of loyal viewers tuning in week after week.

Ever since the launch of the show, we have fallen in love with both the characters and the cast working behind the scenes. We are looking forward to seeing what producer Shonda Rhimes has in store for us for the highly anticipated 17th season of the series. The Emmy-winning drama has famously experienced its fair share of drama and scandals within its last 16 years, on and off-screen. Here are9 Grey's Anatomy Actors Who Acted Like Total Jerks On Set and 11 sweethearts.

Ever since the very beginning of the show, Patrick Dempsey has been known for his diva behavior on set. Things seemed to have gotten worse throughout the years and finally, the actor departed in 2015. Dempsey was let go before his contract was even up and was rumored to have left due to a messy affair with a staff member.

Sandra Oh's role on the show earned her several awards and a massive payday. She is not only one of the funniest cast members on set but also one of the most dedicated actresses. In an interview with Glamours Kevin McKidd said " She has notes all over her scripts, and then Chandra rearranges them! Drives her crazy!"

It was rumored that Isaiah Washington got in a heated fight on set with one of his co-stars. In an extremely dramatic incident, Isaiah allegedly had co-star Patrick Dempsey by the throat. That is not the only time Isaiah has lost control while in an argument with Dempsey. In 2007, Washington used a homophobic slur during another heated exchange with his co-star.

In an interview with Glamour, when asked "Which cast member is always in a good mood at 5 a.m. call times? Sarah Drew was quick to respond "Jerrika Hinton. She has a lot of energy and is super enthusiastic". Camilla Ludding totally agreed, she answered "Jerrika Hinton has an energy about her at 5 A.M. that nobody should have. It should be illegal!"

In an interview with Larry King, a Grey's Anatomy cast member suggested that T.R. Knight solely made claims that the homophobic slur used by Isaiah Washington during an argument with Patrick Dempsey was about him, in an attempt to advance his career and get more money because he was displeased with Shonda Rhimes and his lack of screen time. Ultimately, Knight left the show after the conclusion of season five.

In a cast interview for E! News, everyone agreed Denzel Washington was one of the most memorable guest directors on set. Everyone on the show gushed about how awesome it was to get to work with the famous actor. He directed the episode "The Sound Of Silence" for the ninth episode of the twelfth season.

Justin Chambers is possibly one of the funniest actors on set, Sarah Drew even admitted to Glamour that Justin definitely had the most difficulty memorizing medical jargon, "Honestly, you can see it in every blooper reel in every season! There's five minutes devoted to him saying, "What's my line?!" We all die laughing." she said.

Since joining the hit TV show back in 2008 for Grey's Anatomy's 5th season, Jessica Capshaw has always been described by her co-stars as jolly and cheerful just like her quirky on-screen character, Dr.Arizona Robbins. It is not a shocker that the actress is a real-life sweetheart on set too!

Back in 2008, Katherine Heigl withdrew herself from the Emmy nominations for her portrayal of the Grey Anatomy's beloved character, Izzie stevens. The incident would not have been so controversial however the actress publicly made a statement announcing the fact that she did not feel that she was given the material that season to warrant an Emmy nomination. Talk about ungrateful.

Bokhee has appeared as a background character in every season of Grey's Anatomy, she is featured in most surgeries on-screen and is a real surgical nurse off-screen too. Sandra Oh took to twitter to write about her heart of gold, twitting Shes been with us since the beginning. Shes like my 2nd mom, shes the best.

Usually known as the funny guy on set, Jesse Williams was been portraying character Jackson Avery, M.D. on ABC's medical drama Grey's Anatomy for over a decade! In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the cast revealed that this funny guy is notoriously known to break character quite often during his co-star's scenes. Yikes!

Through 16 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, fans have loved watching Ellen Pompeo evolve into an award-worthy actress, she has been the heart of show since the very beginning. In real life, Pompeo is fighting for equality for women in the workplace and in 2017, she signed a new deal that made her dramatic television's highest-earning actress.

Ellen Pompeo is one of the most beloved cast members on the Grey's Anatomy franchise but when Shonda Rhimes gave Kate Walsh's character her own spin-off show called Private Practice, the cast seemed instantly resentful towards Walsh. There was a rumor that Ellen Pompeo was particularly upset about her co-star's new show. Humble much?

When Sarah Drew left the show after the series 14th season, she left her castmates heartbroken as she is easily one of the most beloved actresses on set. Jesse Williams even took to twitter "Their [Drew and Jessica Capshaw] immense talent speaks for itself but it's them as people that I'm so grateful to know, privileged to have worked with and learned from"

Sara Ramirez first appearing in Season two of Grey's Anatomy and quickly became a regular by season three. She worked on the show for over 10 years up until season 12 when Ramirez abruptly left after wrapping up shooting. It was reported by Vulture that producer Shonda Rhimes only knew Ramirez was leaving the show 3 days before the general public found out. Harsh.

Giacomo Gianniotti's real-life counterpart seems to be just as sweet and lovable as his character Andrew Deluca on the hit medical series Grey's Anatomy. The actor is well known for his charity work and was even joined by his castmates in a fundraiser that helps raise money and bring awareness to today's homeless youth in Los Angeles.

After 6 years of playing Mark Sloan on the ABC's hit medical series, Eric Dane was booted from the show. He has openly expressed in the past, not only his dissatisfaction with his role but also his distaste for the series creator, Shonda Rhimes. He told the news outlet Programme TV that "...I was just a piece of meat", he also used unnecessary profanity to dismiss Shonda's opinions on twitter. Not cool.

Chandra Wilson is a loving cast member and devoted mother. She used her own life experience with her sick daughter to inspire an episode of Grey's Anatomy, she used her platform to help families going through the same struggles. She has a reputation for keeping her on set behavior low-key and drama-free for the past 15 years.

Melissa's drama may not have taken place on set, but her questionable actions definitely got fan's attention. In 2017, George attempted to take her young children with her to the U.S. after a court ruled that she and her boyfriend would have shared custody, Melissa eventually faced kidnapping charges for the stunt.

Camilla Luddington joined the show as the recurring character in season 9 but quickly became a fan favorite in the series. There is no doubt that Camilla is incredibly involved with her fans, she takes time out of her hectic schedule to answer as many questions she can on social media.
