Bye bye George
Katherine’s staying
Okay, so I’ve just read the latest news about T.R. Knight and Katherine and it turns out that T.R. won’t be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season. The writers of the show have decided though that Izzie will live longer, so that means Katherine’s staying!
Although I’m relieved that Katie will be returning next season, I don’t like the fact that T.R.’s leaving at all! George has always been one of my favorite characters of the show and I just feel like the shows not the same without him.
E! Online reports that, after months of rumors and denials, T.R. Knight has officially confirmed that he won’t be returning to the series next season.
“Leaving Grey’s Anatomy was not an easy decision for me to make,” Knight said in an official statement on Wednesday. “I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much. I continue to wish them the very best, and wholeheartedly thank all of the fans who have supported me and the show with such passion and enthusiasm.”
Show creator Shonda Rhimes followed up with her own statement that read, “I think I speak for the entire Grey’s Anatomy family when I say we wish T.R. Knight the best in his future endeavors. He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us.”
The show’s writers and producers had left the fate of Heigl’s character, Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens, in the air by putting her under the knife for brain surgery after giving her stage 4 brain and liver cancer, but apparently she will live to see another season.
