Since their relationship is so important to the show, I figure they needed their own thread. Richard is Meredith's would be step-father, but acts more like a father to her. He promised Ellis that he would look out for and guide Meredith. So will their relationship progress, or will it hit a snag?

Anyone want to add some images of banners? That'd be great.

Because she's Ellis Grey's little girl
Because he wouldn't give up on her in 317
Because she was happy he could see
Because he tried to warn her about dating an attending
Because he always asks if she needs anything
Because he told Thatcher about Ellis' disease
Because he knows she's never cut the LVAD wire
Because she's the spitting image of her mother
Because she let him hug her
Because he tried to get Thatcher away from her
Because she's his...
Because he looks out for her
Because he's her fake daddy
Because she's his fake daughter
Because he calls her by her first name, not her last.
Because he used to change her diapers
Because he can't say penis in front of her
Because he offered to off the oldy lady himself
Because he and Ellis would have had children.
Because Mer would have needed brothers and sisters.

That's all I can think of.

Robotica

Great idea for a thread, man...much as well discussed in the Callie UNappreciation thread... I'm sure we'll have plenty to discuss about their relationship next season given the place Mere's relationship with Thatcher was left, and the fact that Lexie is entering the intern program next year...should be interesting...

~AnastasiaGrey~

Hey we should have a shipper list too lol

Fiyero34

Do you think Richard would've given Chief resident to Callie if he knew that Callie had tried to physically assault Meredith? Granted a lot of the time had passed. But still. He's protective, but a tad passive. Still love him though.

I liket this photo because it looks like Richard is mad at Thatcher.

LukaAbbyLover

good thread idea

girl.inthewar

I have to admit I loved the hug

Fiyero34

THe hug was pretty awesome. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.


Because she's his...
Because he looks out for her
Because he's her fake daddy
Because she's his fake daughter

Robotica

Great reasons...will add them to the opening post...and a shipper thread as well, as True Daisy lover suggested...

And Fiyero...I have a feeling if Richard knew a lot of things about Callie...the locker room threatening included, that he really might've thought twice about giving her the CR position...even as passive as he normally is...

I wish there was a scene where Richard finds out everything that Meredith has gone through. From the bomb, to Ellis saying "I should never have had a kid" to Callie beating her up, to her being called ordinary by Ellis, to her being used by Mark, to Derek being a bit of a jerk, to all the gossip she's had to endure. I wonder what his thoughts on all that are.

kellyakabilly

Yes! I'd love to see his reaction. Mere needs that fatherly protection/guidance in her life and Richard is the man for the job.

Fiyero34

I want Thatcher to come back, and Richard to kick his ass. Thatcher needs a serious kick in the ass for his behavior over the past 25 years. Abandoning his daughter, ignoring her, treating her like a stranger, slapping her, blaming her, humiliating her in front of her peers. I hate that man. I want to see Richard or Meredith or both ream him out.


I don't think I like that Richard lied to a Meredith a few times about her mother's affair, but he probably did just want to protect her.

Fiyero34

Because he calls her by her first name, not her last.
Because he used to change her diapers
Because he can't say penis in front of her
Because he offered to off the oldy lady himself

UnaVitaSegreta

I like the suggestion of Thatcher coming back so Richard can kick his ass.

I love the Meredith/Richard relationship. Can you guys add me to the fan list?

I think he is the closest thing she will ever get to a real father. He truly loves her, unlike the man who donated his sperm for her existence.

LukaAbbyLover

did he actually change her diapers?


can i b added to the list too please

Janos614

I'd like to be added, too!
