Fans love watching the doctors on Grey's Anatomy become close friends over time. While not everyone shares the strong friendship between Meredith and Cristina, all the main characters grow to care deeply about each other, and they teach each other that true friends are always there.
Since the characters deal with terrifying surgeries and the ups and downs of life, their friendships are more intense than some others. Fans enjoy seeing the friendship moments on Grey's Anatomy as it's heartwarming to see them rely on each other outside of the hospital. It's also, of course, great to see Cristina and Meredith's connection develop. These scenes are the ones that viewers can turn to time and time again, as they emphasize that these characters will help each other through anything.
9 April And Arizona Bond At A Party (S10 Ep4)
Fans love seeing Grey's Anatomy characters hanging out in a setting other than the hospital, and it's always fun to watch the doctors get dressed up and go to a party. It can also lead to the beginning of some important relationships. This was particularly the case in the season 10 episode "Puttin' on the Ritz," as Arizona and April grow closer as they sit in a closet and drink lots of champagne.
This is a fan favorite scene, as they let their guards down and have a good time. It also marks the beginning of this beautiful friendship as fans see April and Arizona open up to each other about the struggles weighing on their minds. These characters might not be as close as Meredith and Cristina and they might not call each other their "person," but they do make each other laugh, which is great to see.
8 Cristina And Meredith's First Dance (S1 Ep4)
When the show opens, it might not seem like Cristina or Meredith are going to connect with each other or anyone. They're ambitious, intelligent, career-focused people. However, the season 1 episode, "No Man's Land," sees them try to create some bonds with their colleagues, which leads to them sharing a wonderful friendship scene (and their first dance-it-out scene).
Cristina's improvement as a Grey's Anatomy character comes from her friendship with Meredith. The two characters share the desire to excel in their jobs, but they want connection, too, and in this memorable scene, they discover that they can have a lot of fun with each other. Everyone needs a friend that they can have a good time with, especially doctors who work long, intense hours.
7 Cristina's Sweet Speech About Meredith Being The Sun (S10 Ep24)
Although their friendship takes a bit of a backseat in season 10, Cristina does prove that she cares about Meredith's success when she gives a speech that has become completely iconic and a fan-favorite moment. In "Fear (of the Unknown)," she tells Meredith that while Derek is "dreamy," Meredith is the "sun," meaning that Meredith's world should not revolve around him; she should stand her ground and continue reaching for her dreams.
No one can ever forget this scene, and it's the nicest thing that Cristina could ever do for the friend who she's leaving behind. Cristina has given Meredith the gift of support and compassion. She knows that Meredith is deeply in love with Derek, but Derek has to see that Meredith's career is just significant as his own.
6 Alex Becomes Meredith's Person (S11 Ep1)
Fans wondered how Meredith would deal with Cristina moving to Switzerland. How could she live without her "person" and be happy and fulfilled without her? The season 11 premiere ("I Must Have Lost It On The Wind") has a sweet friendship scene that answers this question. Alex lets Meredith know that he will always be there for her. Meredith says that Alex will be her "person" since Cristina isn't around anymore.

Grey's fans consider both Alex and Cristina to be Meredith's best friend, and this is one of the most beloved scenes between Alex and Meredith. It's even more meaningful when viewers remember how mean Alex seems at the beginning of the hospital drama. Alex's growth allows him to treat Meredith like family, and fans love their close relationship.
5 Meredith And George Connect As Interns (S1 Ep1)
The pilot episode of Grey's Anatomy ("A Hard's Day Night") sees Meredith meeting the other interns, and it's clear that she isn't used to having many close friends. The last thing she expects is to make good friends, which is why fans appreciate her heartwarming scene with George.
In this scene, they wonder if they can really handle this new career. George says that his parents proudly explain to others that he's a surgeon, saying how they describe him as if he was a "Superhero or something." Meredith shares that Ellis didn't want her to attend medical school and didn't believe in her, so being described as a superhero sounded, "pretty d*mn good." It's nice to remember the beginning of Meredith and George's friendship, and this scene feels even more important knowing that George will later pass away.
4 Alex Tells Meredith She Can Talk To Him
The seeds of Meredith and Alex's close friendship are seen in the season 2 episode "Make Me Lose Control." Fans enjoy seeing these characters interact, and when Ellis is a patient at the hospital, Meredith is understandably terrified. Alex says that she can talk to him and after Meredith says "I'm fine," he says that word has lost all meaning. He also explains that no one else seems to like him.
This is one of the first chances that fans get to see Alex being compassionate, and it's one of the sweetest Grey's Anatomy moments in Alex's character arc. While these characters might not be best friends right away and it isn't until Cristina leaves that they do bond more, it's an early sign of the close friendship that is to come.
3 Alex Buys Meredith's House (S9 Ep6)
Fans know that Meredith's childhood home means a lot to her, so it was a big deal for her to move out ("Second Opinion"). Alex is the perfect person to move in, and when Alex tells his friend that he wants to buy her house, it's an adorable friendship moment that fans can never forget about. Meredith says, "I grew up there, Alex, it's hard for me to change things. And you grew up there, too." She says that he can make some changes and they hug.
It's hard not to feel emotional when watching this scene. Fans can see a lot of character growth here, as Meredith is able to move on from the childhood home that holds both tragic and happy memories for her, and Alex is ready to commit and settle down.
2 Derek And Cristina Fish Together (S7 Ep10)
Derek and Cristina aren't close friends like many other characters, but they do share some sweet moments, including the season 7 fishing trip ("Adrift and at Peace"). It's hilarious to see Cristina catch a fish and Derek tell her to remain calm.
Fans love this moment because it's adorable to see Cristina get so excited and feel so proud of her accomplishment. It's also beautiful to watch these two characters interact when they don't always talk to each other much, and this scene has a sad history. Derek wants to be there for Cristina as after the hospital shooting and knows that fresh air will be a good idea.
1 Cristina Loves When Lexie Wears A Diaper During Surgery (S6 Ep7)
Lexie and Cristina couldn't be more different and aren't characters who fans expect to become pals. This is why the season 6 episode "Give Peace A Chance" has a friendship scene that fans cherish. Cristina loves that Lexie is wearing a diaper during surgery, and she respects Lexie for wanting to focus on surgery without having to think about typical bodily functions.
Fans see that Cristina has changed over the ten seasons she was on Grey's Anatomy, as she becomes more caring toward her fellow doctors. It's adorable watching her and Lexie connect over something so unique. Most people might not want to wear a diaper to work, but the doctors think it's an amazing idea, and this is both charming and hilarious.
