There are not many fictional characters that have won over my heart completely, but Mark Greene is definitely one of them and his death is now officially the saddest TV character death of all time for me.

I remember watching the show for the first time around the time he left and even though I haven't seen his entire journey on the show, I was devastated at the time.

But now, during my first ever rewatch after all this time watching this incredible Man and Dr. going through all the highs and lows in life and never losing his humanity and ideals on the way, helping so many people throughout his career and then having to accept his own fate, makes his death even harder. I'm literally bawling as I'm typing this.

And this is all thanks to the incredible writing and the absolutely emmy-worthy performance of Anthony Edwards. I cannot express enough how much that character means to me and how thankful I am for his performance. He was Mark Greene, there is absolutely no other actor that could've done him justice the way Anthony did. 💕
