What I would really really like to see/have, is an update on Izzie. Shonda always keeps on going about how the actors are not the characters (such as JCap cannot be blamed for Arizona's cheating and so on), but with Katherine/Izzie, she's clearly not making that separation herself. She stated she loves Izzie, but she's acting like Izzie has died just because of her troubles with Katherine. I understand she doesn't want to bring Katherine back, and she doesn't have to either, but I just want an update on how she's doing, what specialty she picked, ... Other characters that left Seattle left the city for clear reasons and a clear purpose: Teddy to be MEDCOM Chief, Cristina to be Director at Klausman, ... and I kind of miss that in Izzie's story.

That said, I'd also love to see Teddy returning, but with Maggie being a cardio surgeon, I don't think that'll happen. As you may notice, I love it when the show uses it's rich history. I always find it nice when there are lines like "she was a former patient of Dr. Burke's" or when a patient from a previous season returns. I don't mean that I want them to dwell on the past, but using the history every now and then could be nice.
