Callie SAYS

Previous Quote

Alone people don't like to hear about together people. It's sort of like bringing a six-pack to an AA meeting.

Next Quote
  • Arizona Robbins
    to Callie:

    "Do you just wanna end this? Because, because, there are women that are lining up for me. I am hot!"

  • Arizona Robbins
    to Callie:

    "But, I like the girl who has the sandwiches. Ok?"

  • Lexie Grey
    to Callie about Mark:

    "How gay are you, on a scale of one to gay? Because that's my hot, hot naked boyfriend in the shower. Even if you are gay, he's not and you're hot."

CHARACTER BIO

LIKES:
Arizona Robbins; Cuban food; dancing in her underwear

DISLIKES:
Not having enough money to pay her rent; getting criticized for not washing her hands after using the bathroom

NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
Met George after treating him for a dislocated shoulder. The pair started dating and Callie fell for George in a big way—the two married! Ultimately, however, they divorced. Callie next sought refuge in the arms of Mark Sloan and, more recently, Arizona Robbins.

FAMILY:
Callie’s relationship with her father has become a bit strained in recent months, mostly due to her relationship with Arizona.

OTHER:
Callie is the sort of woman who has had to stand on her own two feet most of her life. She's a passionate, hot-blooded young woman who isn't afraid to ruffle feathers in the typically male dominated hospital environment.
