But you are asking about Izzie Stevens, isn't it? She came close when with a major tumor in Season 5, didn't she? However, she didn't pass on-set - she fought the disease and left the series after the 6th season. Since that time, there have been occasional references to her character on the show; yet Izzie never returned to that hospital named Grey Sloan Memorial.
But her journey is one of the most famous story lines in this great television classic. This is not just a series of moments that show Izzie's strength. In the drama "Grace," starring Sylvia Sidney, Izzie's character demonstrates her exceptional resilience and talents once more.
