Thanks to Watch with Kristin for this sneak peek featuring Katherine in the upcoming Grey’s episode “5×19 – Elevator Love Letter”.

I’m afraid I’ve some horrible news. Katherine and her bff T.R. Knight are said to be quiting Grey’s Anatomy. These two actors are the only reason I watch the show, without them it would be so lame..

Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight will soon take off their scrubs for good, their Grey’s Anatomy costar confirms.

When Us Weekly asked James Pickens Jr. (a.k.a. Grey‘s Dr. Richard Webber) on February 7 if Heigl is leaving the medical drama, he said, “Yes, she is.” And he continued, “Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best.”

Following Heigl, 30, out the door?

Her outspoken BFF, Knight, 35. “He’s going too,” Pickens told Us at the NAACP Awards luncheon in Beverly Hills. “He just wanted to pursue other career paths.”

“He complains to Katherine all the time,” a set source has said of Knight (with Heigl). “The energy on set will be much better when he’s gone.”

Sources close to the actors concur.

“Katherine is ready to move on to the next chapter,” says a set source. And Knight is “not shy about telling people” he wants out of his contract, another insider told Us in December.

But now it seems they’re finally getting their wishes.

A source tells Us Knight has had numerous talks with executive producer Shonda Rhimes, and that the “writers are scrambling to find a believable exit for George, one that would leave the door open for him to come back someday.”

Both Heigl’s and Knight’s reps had no comment, and ABC and ABC Studios could not confirm the departures.

Grey’s Anatomy colleague and Katherine Heigl’s best friend T.R. Knight wants to leave “Grey’s Anatomy”. It’s too bad, his character George has always been one of my favorites and I would really mis him!

A person with direct knowledge of the situation has confirmed that T.R. Knight has asked to be released from his contract with “Grey’s Anatomy.”

The actor, who plays Dr. George O’Malley, has asked to leave the ABC medical drama because he is unhappy with his storyline, the person said. Knight has three years left on his contract and the network has indicated they will release him, said the insider, who could not be identified because they were not authorized to discuss negotiation details

An ABC representative declined comment.

Entertainment Weekly magazine first reported news of Knight’s request Tuesday in a posting at ew.com. Writer Michael Ausiello quoted a person at ABC who was not identified as saying that the show and “Grey’s” creator Shonda Rhimes were prepared to let the 35-year-old actor go.

The past two days I’ve been busy with (watching) and capping Season 1 episode 1 of “Grey’s Anatomy”. It’s the very first episode, called “A Hard Day’s Night”.

EDIT: Also added Screencaps of episode 1×02 “The First Cut Is The Deepest”.
