I think someone else before actually said that Cat refused to do the Monica storyline, infact I think it's been brung up on a few occasions. The only reason I can think of why she would do that is because of some boundary she has set because of the relationship with E.R. but if it were to be the truth, why would she have eventually followed Natalie in the end? It doesn't make since.
If it’s true, I wouldn’t think it has anything to do with their relationship. Maybe she was upset with Grey’s trying to replace that relationship so quickly and that ER just became another diversity checkbox. A lot of fans were also upset about that (including myself) - so if it’s true, maybe that’s what it was.
Idk two years in plenty of time to leave her single after in my opinion. I really do think that the writers either have it out for cat or Amelia or maybe both because there really was no reason to introduce kai getting a job in London out of nowhere and then break them up so violently as a result of it.
I kinda think the writers had no plans for Amelia beyond the Parkinson's storyline in season 18. Like they've stated that Kaimelia was never planned. The writers just stumbled upon the relationship storyline and struck gold with Kaimelia. Thanks to Cat and ER's electric chemistry. The writers stuck to it for a bit, but didn't know how to write for Amelia, and by extent Kaimelia, so then proceeded to destroy them. I agree there was no real reason to break Kaimelia up twice and have Kai take a job in London out of the blue. Like where did it come from, after not seeing Kai for months. Kaimelia had legs on it and potential, it just needed to be fleshed out a bit more.
But once the writers got rid of Kai, they were back at square one with not knowing how to write for Amelia. They're back at her doing a similar storyline to the Parkinson's one, except it's Alzheimer's this time alongside Meredith again. And once in a while throw in an "interesting" case for Amelia that turns out to be a real dud. I mean the wrtiers can't even parallel the shooting storyline with the nephew to Amelia and by extent her history of it with Derek.
I don't think Cat would refuse any storyline, I mean there's probably a few that she's not too fond of, but she still did it anyway, cause it's her job. Maybe she was upset with the way Kaimelia was treated, and she has every right to be. But I don't think she'd make a huge fuss to the point of the writers barely giving her anything to work with. I just think the writers are incompetent. They're incompetent across the board. A lot of the other storylines are boring and generic too. It's just that some characters, cough cough Teddy and Owen cough, have more material to work with than others. And Amelia just literally get scraps at this point.
