Shonda Rhimes didn’t invent the love triangle, but she did perfect it. From Grey Sloan Memorial to the halls of Scandal‘s White House to the corseted drama of Bridgerton to the firehouse on Station 19, no one does a devastatingly messy romantic entanglement quite like Shondaland.
These triangles (and, occasionally, squares) leave us breathless, arguing in group chats, and asking ourselves the big questions. Questions like: Should he have married the sister? Is that throuple…kind of working? Why does everyone cheat on their spouse with a coworker? And what is it about Addison Montgomery?
