Heigl staying on Greys
Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes says she wasn’t offended by talk that Katherine Heigl thought her character arc wasn’t Emmy-worthy this year.
“When I was told about it, my reaction was surprised,” says Rhimes. “I have a really wonderful working relationship with Katherine. Everybody knows Izzie is one of my favourite characters.
“It’s not insulting the writers per se. The first half of the season she had a very strong storyline with George that played out a lot more comedic than a lot of her storylines … The back half of the season, Katherine asked me to write her light so that she could do her movie. I don’t feel insulted.”
“I would put her in a coma,” said Ugly Betty showrunner Silvio Horta.
As for the lesbian storyline next season, Rhimes says, “We have a really interesting, funny way of laying out a story for Erica (Brooke Smith) and Callie (Sara Ramirez). It’s not your typical way of dealing with the storyline; we sat down with them and talked about women who figure out they’re lesbians later in life and we found out some interesting things to play out.”
Another producer said, Heigl is not leaving. “She’s absolutely staying with the show. There’s an unbelievable storyline for her this year, which is really central to everything that’s going to go on this season.”

I’m still sad Izzie and Goerge didn’t work out!
Oh, me too.
