I have to admit that every time I see Denny come on the screen during an episode of Grey's Anatomy, I get excited.  His character, though his time alive on the show was short-lived, is some of the best writing Grey's has done over the years.  Despite my love for him, I'm not sure how much I love the Izzie-Denny love affair considering the fact that, you know, he's DEAD!  Each time the two characters share a scene together, I flip flop on my feelings towards their relationship, the storyline, and what I want for each of them.  Here are some pros and cons of their relationship.  Read on and weigh in on the Izzie-Denny romance!

THE PROS

Who doesn't love the chemistry between Katherine Heigl and Jeffrey Dean Morgan? There isn't a person alive that Izzie belongs with or is better with, which is probably why she's opting to sleep with a dead guy. There was so much left unfinished between these two, because of his untimely death and it's been interesting to see them hash out the issues that have been haunting both of them, particularly her.  Losing a loved one can be so traumatic and having him there to talk to and get out her feelings could be beneficial to Izzie in the long run.  Whether Denny is with her for a short amount of time or for the rest of her life, Izzie will never have to feel like there was anything left unsaid between them.


THE CONS

Sex with a dead guy? I mean, come on. I might even forgive it had Shonda Rhimes given Izzie a brain tumor but she swears that it's not the cause of all the Denny sightings. On top of that, I actually like the way Alex has been behaving the last two episodes and maybe these two can finally find a way to make their usually dysfunctional relationship work. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Shonda Rhimes and the writers of Grey's Anatomy jumped the gun by killing Denny off so quickly. I know it was a mistake, you know it was a mistake, and they really know it was a mistake. We keep being reminded of that because the show keeps bringing him back. If you make a decision, no matter what it is, you should stand by it and it really seems like the writers of Grey's can't stand by the fact that they killed off Denny after half a season. We've made our peace with it. Izzie is trying to make her peace with it. Let it go.
