‘Grey’s Anatomy’: 6 of Sara Ramirez’s Most Influential Scenes as Callie Torres
ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy — and primetime TV — losed a key character.
While Callie and Arizona split up in the season 12 finale (which will stand as Ramirez’s final episode) seemed to leave the door open for the actress to return to reprise her role. (Executive producer Shonda Rhimes also noted that Ramirez would “always have a home at Shondaland.)
While Callie has certainly had her ups and downs (divorce, car crashes, losing loved ones), she’s been a pioneer for LGBT viewers across the globe, with Ramirez also serving as a champion for equality.
Here, THR takes a look at six of Ramirez’s most influential scenes as the beloved Callie Torres.

While Callie may not have reacted well, there isn’t a member of the LGBT community who hasn’t experienced this same moment in their own lives.
The first time Arizona and Callie said I love you.
Simple. Perfect. Complete and total acceptance. This is how we’re remembering Callie and Arizona.
