The beloved plastics surgeon left a big show mark.
Mark Sloan died in Grey's Anatomy season 9 following the plane crash, but his death and sendoff left a big impact on characters and viewers alike.
Grey's Anatomy is considered one of the great television shows of our time, winning several awards and four Emmys. The high-intensity medical drama follows Meredith Grey and the team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis. They seek comfort from one another, and, at times, more than just friendship. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white.
