Another American rumour gets shot down in flames (or possibly damage control) as Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes says T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl are not leaving the show.
“That was a very interesting rumor,” Rhimes said Thursday night at the 40th NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles. “And it’s not true.”
It was cast member James Pickens Jr. who let that one out of the bag. He now says, “When the question was posed to me, I was more trying to congratulate Katie and T.R. on whatever they were going to do. But yeah, I don’t have any special info about it either way.”
Riiiiiiiiiight.
Rhimes adds, “That was absolutely taken out of context…. Things happen, and … I think rumors become fact very easily. And you know I don’t like to tell you what’s going to happen on the show — but that is a rumor.”
Funnily enough there was no comment on the fact that so far in this season T.R. Knight has next to zero screen time.

George is a terrible character – thats why no screen times for TR.
Private Practice is heaps better – Greys is terrible this season.
george has had no screen time this season. i just watched the latest episode that screened in the USA last week and he had around 4min and that is alot more than what he has had all this season. talk about not using him.
George has had some screen time, hard to tell if it was down on least year.
IMO the rumor was started to get people talking and help the ratings.
