Word from ABC President on Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight
May 26, 2009 by Ingrid Diaz
As we head into the vast, dark summer months ahead and continue to ponder the future of Izzie and George, we’ll likely encounter a slew of commentary from people on all sides of the industry. Shonda Rhimes has already commented and given us something akin to hope for at least one of the characters – albeit very vague, cryptic hope. And now ABC President Stephen McPherson has dropped the following quote regarding Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight into the mix:
“They’ve both signed on. I can’t say whether or not they’ll both be there.”
So that tells us … well, a whole lot of nothing. But it seems to imply that both actors are willing to reprise their roles. It also puts to rest all those rumors going around the discussion thread that neither actor is contracted for next season and that it automatically means George and Izzie both die.
Glancing at the poll results, it seems that most of you believe George will pass on while Izzie will possibly make a miraculous recovery thanks to “some good medicine.” At this point, all options seem possible, so for those of you trying to keep the hope alive, don’t give up.

So that means they are coming back!?!
Why would he say that!? It gives false hope at the beginning of the comment, by telling us that they have both signed on again. Then, he follows it up by saying that it doesn’t mean they will both be on? Why would he say that? I don’t get it! Please let me know if anyone can make any sense of why anyone would make such a comment…
I think Izzie is gonna live and George is gonna do a Denny, and by that I mean he’s gonna die but haunt people or whatever you want to call it lol
I think they have both signed on BUT he didn’t say for how long. Either one could have signed on for an episode or two or 10; the other may have signed on for much longer; or not. So basically, we will see them the 1st episode but after that who knows. The drama continues…
E! news online ran a story tonight saying that TR Knight was def gone from grey’s and that george was dead…who knows if thats really true or not..but thats what they printed…i really hope izzie lives if i have to choose…the show needs an izzie…it needs a george too but i can deal with george being gone more than i could izzie’s character
I really hope more than anything, they BOTH live:)
Neither of them should die. George keeps everyone together and Izzie isnt izzie without George. All the other characters have become redundant awhile back ie. their stories sucked. So No, Greys Is not Greys without George or Izzie. Although T.R Knight does leave meaning he does die and Im done with greys. Who cares if Christina and that gross guy gets together? Whi cares about Meredith and Dereck, their situation is so boring, who cares about Kelly??? whats the point watcding if they gone.
I’m from Sweden and I’m so glad I found this site.
I totally agree with Jess.
Izzie is my fav and I don’t want her to leave the show.
George is just a little bit… I really don’t need him there.
This is a little bit strange, they have not even showed the two final episodes in Sweden yet.
They showed the 100th episode two days ago and I have to say that that episode rocked!
Lou Im so with you – I really hope they both live! I like the charachters!
i really hope george and izzi will survived, and merder couple would have happy ending.
