<Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> I totally understand why Arizona wouldn't want to date a newborn . It's like getting a Freshman as your Physics lab partner even though you're a Senior who not only knows the Laws of Motion but has mastered them in ways that would rock that Freshman's world . Which is not to say the Freshman won't grow to be really good at Physics, or that Callie won't catch up to Arizona on the lesbian front, it's simply that Arizona might not have the patience to wait that long . </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> <P> The couple ultimately decided to begin a relationship, however, the two experience difficulties, but eventually reunite . Rhimes commented on their reconciliation: "I love (Callie) with Arizona . (...) I like that they make me feel hopeful about love ." Rhimes has mentioned of their relationship in the sixth season: "I would like to see Callie happily in a long - term relationship . We have so much to explore with them, because we barely know anything about (Arizona)." </P> <P> Callie and Arizona have a five year relationship, ultimately marrying in the seventh season and divorcing in the eleventh season . Callie starts a new relationship with Penny Blake and leaves to go to New York with her in the twelfth season finale . Shonda Rhimes spoke on Ramirez's abrupt departure, saying, "This one was different because it wasn't a big planned thing . I had a different plan going and when Sara came in and said,' I really need to take this break,' I was lucky that we'd shot the end of the season with her going to New York ." </P> <P> Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune was critical about the character's initial development . Reviewing the third season's premiere, she wrote the writers should give up on Callie explaining they have made her "far too obviously the "weird girl," but there's nothing underneath her brusque persona ." Her marriage to O'Malley was well received; Staci Krause of IGN wrote: "Their relationship has been a roller coaster and it was nice to see this turn of events, as she really is a perfect contrast to George ." Discussing the character in terms of her relationship with Hahn, Williams was largely positive, assessing that: "The story line offered both the drama Grey's is known for and a truthfulness network television has rarely achieved when it comes to lesbian relationships ." Trish Doolan and Nikki Weiss, invited by GLAAD to consult with Grey's Anatomy producers on the storyline, praised the effort put into researching the issue by the writers and actors involved, though were more negative on the scene which saw Hahn kiss Callie in an elevator in front of Mark Sloan . Weiss commented: "I just felt like, if they really cared about each other, I don't think they would do that as a stunt . That seemed a little, I don't know, forced . (...) (It) was more like a conquest, like he could have (Hahn) too or something ." LGBT website AfterEllen.com agreed with this view, criticizing the way the scene was edited so as to keep cutting to Sloan's point of view, as though "privileging the male gaze ." AfterEllen.com included Torres in their list of the Top 50 Lesbian and Bisexual Characters, ranking her at No. 6 and in their Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters . The character was also listed in Wetpaint's "10 Hottest TV Doctors on TV". </P>
