Afterthe fall finaleofGreys Anatomy, fans have a lot to say aboutRichard Webber(James Pickens, Jr.) and Catherine Foxs (Debbie Allen) storyline. None of the comments from fans are positive. Lets take a look and see why fans are so outraged at the two doctors right now.

The root of Richard and Catherines marital problems began at the end of season 15 when Richard was fired from Grey-Sloan hospital for being a part Merediths insurance fraud. Bailey fired Richard; however, Catherine did not do anything to help save his job.

Richard holds a grudge, and Catherine is not helping matters. We are now nine episodes into season 16, and things between the couple are worse than ever before. Catherine assumes that Richard is cheating on her with an old friend, Gemma (Jasmine Guy). Hes not cheating, but hes not doing anything to help Catherine believe him.

The Richard/Catherine marriage problems storyline is so aggravating to me,wrote one fan on Reddit. From Catherines point of view, I understand that she doesnt want to face it, and she keeps running. But from Richards point of view, he should be texting, calling, and chasing after her if nothing is actually going on.

Yes, Catherine did not fight for his job, and hes still upset, but in the grand scheme of things, thats your marriage, and now your wife thinks youre having an affair. If youre not having an affair and its all just innocent friendship, then you would be trying harder to tell your wife that, the Redditor believes.

In the season 16 fall finale, Catherine goes looking for her husband over at Pac-North. A receptionist mistakenly tells her that Richard is busy in his office with his wife. This interaction sets Catherine over the edge, and now she is sure that he is cheating on her. However, he doesnt do anything to deter her from thinking that. She leaves town, and he doesnt try to stop her.

Yes, agrees one fan. Richards like, meh, my wife is leaving town, and I didnt even know she was in town. Whatever. Ok, Gemma what were you saying?'

He couldnt even bother to give her a call, added another Redditor. Thats how much he cares about fixing the current rift. Part of me thinks hes just acting like the victim and being so nonchalant about the whole Gemma thing because he wants to get back at Catherine for not having his back with his job.

Theres a lot of anger in both of them, one fan observed.

Richard needs to stop avoiding his wife, added another fan on Reddit. Catherine should talk to her husband, yes. But Richard knows exactly why Catherine is pissed at him, and he isnt doing anything to try to say hey this isnt happening. He just sits and still hangs out with the woman who Catherine doesnt trust. Come on, Richard. This isnt all on Catherine.

The lack of communication is just, Ugh, added one more Redditor. At least we got one positive thing out of itthe intern sassing Catherine for trying to use her name as power and just not having it with her in general.

Neither party is in the right here. Catherine needs to apologize for not talking to Bailey on his behalf. Richard needs to get over his anger and call his wife. Or, if they are going to go on like this, maybe we will see a divorce. Either way, we wont see anything until Greys Anatomy returns on Jan. 23, 2020.
