I could see Karen fitting in fine in the Grey's Anatomy era especially with her previous bond to Robin.
I guess it's more I can't see a long-term Karen/Jagger pairing on screen.
I agree Mo probably doesn't want to delve into Sonny's character flaws that deeply. With the timing of Jagger/Karen's departure and then recast Karen's return there wasn't much of chance. Sonny/Brenda were just beginning and CS and ASJ were out the door. Then when Karen came back she was on PC, obviously, but Mo/Vanessa (at the time) were leaving, so forgiveness in a few scenes was the easiest way to tie it all up.
FakeJagger coming back avenging Karen didn't help. Karen, as far as we knew, had long forgiven Sonny and Jagger bringing it up felt like he was projecting his own flaws and regrets on to Sonny.
I think there might be a greater story for Sonny if someone like Brenda acknowledged the way Sonny mistreated her and started dating her so young and blah, blah. To me, at this point or any point past like 2005 lol, Sonny's actions towards Karen aren't terribly relevant for the show to deep dive. It's not condoning his behavior, but there isn't the fallout that Lucky and Lulu learning about their mother/father had.
