This is complete crap. Annoyingly snobby Katherine Heigl will continue to lurk in dark corners and chain smoke on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Meanwhile, T.R. Knight’s character of loveable George O’Malley is said to be dead. The season finale (SPOLIER ALERT) left Heigl and Knight’s characters hanging by a thread. It was since rumored that at least one of the two would indeed die. Both actors have wanted out of the show for lack of screen time and playing second fiddle to their costars.
Katherine put her name in for the Emmy race this year after snubbing the awards last year citing poor writing by the staff of the show. However, this year was apparently up to her par and she is hopeful to get another Emmy nod. This leads common sense to believe that she will be staying. It would be a stupid move to chase an award from a show you are leaving.
E! Online reports that T.R. is finally out of his contract and sources are squealing that he will not return.
“Multiple sources tell me that T.R. Knight will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season. I’m told that tension between Knight and show creator Shonda Rhimes has become unbearable for both.”
However, the character’s fate might still be up in the air. Theories contrasting the report by E! claim that George will live, but not be played by Knight. After being crushed and dragged by a bus, the rumors of a plastic surgery makeover could give way to a new actor taking the role of George. Doubtful, but possible.
Regardless, I kinda wish Izzy would have gotten hit by a bus.
I am with you! I would rather have Knight then Heigl, but then the both of them have seemed to forgotten that the show made them the success that they are.
Be grateful people! These are hard times to be out of work and demanding crazy amounts for ensemble cast movies (as I have heard Heigl has done) is crazy.
