Bio
A statuesque blonde, Isobel "Izzie" Stevens put herself through medical school by modeling. Underwear. Wow.
When this fact is publicized by Dr. Alex Karev, who pinned pictures of her up in the locker room, Izzie flew off the handle. She later warmed up to Alex, however, and dated him briefly before catching him sleeping with a nurse and breaking it off. They remain friends, though.
At first, Izzie butted heads with Meredith over the latter's relationship with Dr. Shepherd. Izzie initially believed it was a plot for Dr. Grey to get ahead of her fellow interns, but the two have become good friends. They live in the same house, one that was also inhabited by George until the most recent episode.
When meeting a pregnant teenage girl from her hometown (outside Seattle), Izzie revealed that she, too, had a daughter at 16. Her daughter, who is now 12, was adopted and now lives in Santa Barbara, Calif. She made an appearance in Season Three, needing a bone marrow transplant from Izzie to stay alive. They did not communicate, however, as the girl's parents handled everything.
Izzie first showed an interest in surgery involving infants and young children, the specialty of Dr. Addison Shepherd. But she was deemed too emotional, a fact driven home when she fell in love with everyone's favorite heart patient, Denny Duquette. In her illegal attempt to get him a transplant, Izzie risked her entire medical career. While her efforts were successful, Denny died, and her career nearly followed suit.
Stevens eventually recovered from her loss, however, and after a probationary period, regained form as a surgeon, especially during a big ferry disaster. Denny also left her $8 million, which she used to open a free clinic at Seattle Grace. Unlucky in love, she became convinced she loves George as Season Three drew to a close. They hooked up one evening when drunk. How will this play out?
Stay tuned.

Quotes
Alex: Oh, mind your own bus... Wait... how did you know that?
Cristina: (holding back tears) She told me.
Alex: (walks into Izzie's room) You remember?
Izzie: Pillow or morphine. I got the whole thing.
Alex: Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean that.
Izzie: Of course you didn't. You love me too much to shoot me up with morphine, even if you asked me to. And my stupid corked brain is coming back.
Alex: (hugging her tightly) Oh my god, I was so scared. I mean I would have loved you no matter what. You're back. You're back. (Izzie goes limp) Izz? (her heart starts to fail) Iz? Izzie? YANG!

All I want to say is that IT's time Izzie and Alex settle down, get together and love each other coz I know it's there in their hearts,they are simply being distacted by things that ought not to come in their way . Alex has matured into a considerATE, FINE AND CARING gentleman and izzie has beEn through alot lately. They have tried and tested lovers but weren't lucky so what does this point out at: "SIMPLY THE FACT THAT ALEX AND IZZIE ARE MADE 4 EACH OTHER."

I used to enjoy the character and now I find her whiney, and tremendously annoying. Izzie should have been axed over Hahn.

I've always liked Izzie, so I'm worried for her character at this point in the show: what's with Denny appearing? I think it might have something to do with the rumored brain tumor; him being a hallucination or something. I have a feeling she'll be killed off the show...
I hope not, though!

Jeez, people need to lay off Izzie. I think she adds a really interesting perspective to the show. Good grief! CHRISTINA IS TEN TIMES MORE ANNOYING!!! Izzie is compassionate and nothing seems to work out for her, Christina is bitter, selfish, closed off, snippy and degrading to everyone around her. I really want to see what happens to Izzie and I love that they brought some damn good old fashioned romance to the show with Denny!! She may be crazy, but she knows a good guy hen she sees...or doesn't see....him. haha. ;)

Her character is going to Crazytown. What are the writers smoking? Why writers are you making Izzie's story line become so unbelievable when everyone's is getting good. Her character has totally jumped the shark. Sex with a dead person who is just a figment of her imagination??? REALLY!??

I really hope Izzy doesnt leave the show, her character really hits home with me. I don't know what is happening to her and I agree lets let Denny go once and for all. I wouldnt enjoy the show as much without Izzy she is my favorite. Her and George are the best!
