Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight Leaving Grey's Anatomy, Says Costar
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."
See the love lives of Grey's Anatomy stars.
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.

He's hardly even on the show anymore. Last week I think all he did was tease Izzy about all of the tests she was running on herself.
Goodbye to both of them.

Agreed -
I don't watch the show, but she is beyond obnoxious - I hope she falls flat on her ungrateful face

Goodbye and good riddens to both of them. They add nothing to the show at this point.

Seriously - don't they remember what happened to the movie/spinoff careers of most of the casts of Friends and Seinfeld, for example??

I actually like Izzy & George. I'm going to miss them. 
But than again, I hate when shows change their cast. I like keeping the originals.

I'm excited that Izzy is leaving, lately I can't stand her, but I'm kind of bummed about George. I like him!
