Attention! All Grey’s Anatomy fans.....spoiler alert. According to E! and other sources, it is clear that T.R. Knight (TK) and Katherine Heigl are leaving the show.
TK is leaving a 14million dollar contract to return to Broadway. Good for him, if that is what he really wants. He claims working on the set for seasons four and five has been a bit of a struggle. Conflicts like not having a decent line of communication with the producer. He definitely did not like the direction his character, George O’Malley, was going. “Knight returned to work on season 4, but the actor struggled with the story line in which George cheated on his wife Callie (Sara Ramirez) with Izzie (Katherine Heigl). 
And once George went MIA from the beginning of season 5, the star came to the conclusion that his character had expired” (Entertainment Weekly). Not only that, but why was George the only intern out of his friend to get held back? Unfortunately, George was slowly fading away: “This fall, Knight was surprised to see his character George O'Malley all but vanish from the show -- for the first nine episodes of season 5, he appeared on screen a total of only 48 minutes, compared to 114 for Sandra Oh's Christina” (Entertainment Weekly). TK is walking away from 14 million dollars. Sorry, I had to say that again for the sake of all that money going to waste and the even bigger issue of missing George. He is returning to the place he was first discovered to be a Grey’s star. If TK is happy I will get over my grief and be happy with him. TK knows what he is doing and his last words in the interview are, “There are a lot of people who would like to be in my position. But in the end, I need to be fulfilled in my work.” He has spoken. Now to get a glimpse of TK, catch him in his newest role on Broadway in Lend Me a Tenor, set to premiere in February 2010.
On a slightly hotter note, Katherine Heigl....season sixth? At the end nobody was sure if George and Izzie were both dead or in that in-between stage. Word on the street is that Heigl has been rumored to leave the show for almost a year. 
I heard things from she wants a movie career or she want to do more. I even heard she was whining about Izzie not having a bigger story line. Well are you happy now? Izzie and George completely stole the spot light from Meredith and Derrick. Honestly, the show is kind of called, Grey’s Anatomy. Who really knows what the truth is besides Heigl and Shonda Rhimes. Fact is she has shot a few episodes of season six. I have no clue what is going to happen for the rest of the season. The new word on the street is she has renegotiated her contract and is not leaving the show. There is hope for Izzie.
Update info on Izzie Stevens: She has done five episodes but then plans to take a break. I heard they want to fire her character or something in that nature to temporarily relieve her from the show.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a little less than four weeks to prepare ourselves for the comeback of Grey’s Anatomy. Technically we have 27 days. Everyone make sure you tune in September 24, Thursday night at 9/8c for the season six (2hour) premiere night of Grey’s Anatomy.
