T.R. Knight Katherine Heigl Not Leaving “Grey’s Anatomy,” Shonda Rhimes Says

Are Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight checking out of Seattle Grace Hospital?
Nay, according to Grey’s Anatomy creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes.
In an interview earlier this week, James Pickens Jr., who plays Chief of Surgery Dr. Richard Webber on the ABC medical drama, indictated that the stars would be exiting the show. Rhimes says, contrary to the report, T.R. and Katherine are not leaving the show.
“That was a very interesting rumor. And it’s not true,” she told the press at Thursday’s NAACP Image Awards. “You know I don’t like to tell you what’s going to happen on the show, but that is a rumor.”

well if they arent leaving the show whats going to happen to izzie, the one with the brain tumor, and george, the one who got hit by the bus.
honestly, i would LOVE to be on that show, but like they are so lucky to have a career start out like this. this is the reason katherine heigl even won emmys, this is the reason why she is so popular; and i think thats ridiculous they are trying to kill her and T.R. on the show when Shonda Rhimes said they arent killing them. its a little ridiculous, because she says its a rumor, and it really isnt. she is just saying to get our hopes up.
lets just hope that she comes back on the season premiere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
