AH, REMEMBER THE mid-2000s when it seemed like the entire country was fixated with Seattle Grace and McDreamy?

If you weren’t watching Desperate Housewives, you were probably busy watching Grey’s Anatomy, the hospital drama that totally gripped the nation and helped fill the ER-shaped hole in our lives.

Let’s take a look back, shall we?

You tuned into RTÉ 2 to watch it every week. But God help you if you missed it, because everyone around you would inevitably be discussing it the next day.

Mysterious illnesses! Dramatic plane crashes! Sexy time in closets!

So much used to happen in Grey’s Anatomy.

You were so emotionally invested in the lives of these characters and gained a new appreciation for what doctors do.

“They look after sick people, have salacious workplace affairs and always look impeccable. They really earn their money.”

And if you were of the age to be filling out your CAO application, then chances are you considered pursuing medicine

“I might not know my arse from my elbow, but I strongly believe I could be Ireland’s Cristina Yang.”

You came to regard the characters as your TV mates

Meredith, Izzy, George, Cristina – you loved them all.

You had strong opinions on whether you preferred McDreamy or McSteamy.

You still find yourself welling up thinking about Denny and Izzie’s romance, wildly unethical as it was.

You can’t think of James Bond without being reminded of George’s unnecessarily gruesome death

007!

And you still have a secret fondness for The Fray’s How To Save A Life

Frightening fact: How To Save A Life was number one in Ireland ten years ago.

That piano intro, though.

You still regard Cristina and Meredith as the ultimate embodiment of #friendshipgoals

I am your person.

And you strongly relate to Bailey and her no-nonsense attitude.

You might not still be watching it, but you’ll always have fond memories of those early days in Seattle Grace

The most exciting hospital since County General Hospital.
