No Meltdown For Alex Karev In "Grey's Anatomy" Season 6.... So Far

The cast lineup for season six of Grey's Anatomy is becoming clearer by the day.

Following on Marc Malkin's report last month that star T.R. Knight is leaving the series, a source confirms that Katherine Heigl "will be back."

But what's the official word from the show bosses and Heigl's people?

Reps for the hit ABC series and for Katherine Heigl both declined to comment.

Season five ended on a double-death cliffhanger, as Knight's character, George O'Malley, struggled to survive massive trauma inflicted by a bus accident, and Heigl's character, Izzie Stevens, endured life-threatening complications of her cancer treatment.

The split decision—Knight goes and Heigl stays—was telegraphed in the fifth season finale's episode-ending dream sequence, wherein Izzie seemed drawn back to the voices of the friends trying to save her life, while George seemed serenely ready to move into another phase of his existence.

What do you guys think about this outcome wherein Izzie survives and George dies or departs?

Dr George O'Malley Is Dead

Multiple sources tell me that T.R. Knight will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy next season.

Knight's departure shouldn't come as too much of a shock...

Not only was George flatlining at the end of the season finale earlier this month, but the 36-year-old actor has reportedly wanted off the hit ABC series for quite some time.

I'm told that tension between Knight and show creator Shonda Rhimes has become unbearable for both.

"He hates her, and she hates him," one source said.

Knight, an original member of the Grey's cast, was said to have become increasingly frustrated by his character's lack of storyline and camera face time. In December, he asked to be let out of his contract.

Insiders tell me Knight has made no secret about George's demise. No word on any future projects for Knight, but at least now he's free to pursue other things.

Reps for Knight and ABC declined to comment.

Knight's best buddy Katherine Heigl is supposedly still waiting to learn her fate with Seattle Grace. As I was the first to report last July, Rhimes began contemplating an early death for Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens after Heigl took herself out of the running for last year's Emmys because, she complained, the writers failed to give her good enough material to work with.

Like George, Izzie was also flatlining at the end of the season finale.

Funny enough, Entertainment Weekly recently reported that Heigl will submit her name for Emmy consideration this year for her work as cancer-stricken Izzie.

Guess Who Quit Grey's Anatomy???

So, I got a little more information from my source and they say,
"He hasn't attended table reads since episode 2. He is pissed and miserable and thinks his story line is stupid. He said goodbye to his hair and makeup people last week. He says he is done and has quit. ABC has not released him.

Shondra Rhimes, the producer called him and he told her he had nothing to say. He has packed his dressing room."

That is all the information we have at this time.

Do we hear Katherine Heigl quitting too? I swear that show has turned to being ridiculous... I used to love this show and now I can't stand how where the show is going story-wise. Ugh!!!

Update:

Reacting to the rumor that says T.R. Knight might leave Shonda Rhimes' hit medical drama series, "Grey's Anatomy", the series' representative finally comes out with a statement regarding the matter. On Monday, December 8, the spokesperson has claimed that the actor, who plays Dr. George O'Malley on the series, will not go anywhere.

To Us Magazine, the "Grey's Anatomy" representative clears previous rumor stating that Knight has left the filming set. "T.R. has never walked off set in the middle of filming. He attended the table read today and will be shooting this week, like any other week of production," the rep assures.

Previously, it has been informed by Crazy Days and Nights that the 35-year-old actor has not attended table reads since episode 2 for this season and would leave the show because he thinks that his story line is stupid.

TR Knight Is Dating A 19 Years Old Guy

Gay GREY’S ANATOMY star T.R. KNIGHT has defended his decision to date a man 16 years his junior - insisting they "love each other".

Knight, 35, has been involved with 19-year-old Mark Cornelson since February (08) and the age gap has put their romance under intense scrutiny.

But the actor is convinced that although some people might take a negative view - it doesn’t matter because their relationship is so special.

He tells People.com, "It’s bound to raise some eyebrows but we love each other. (He is) an amazing guy. I love being around him. I love what we have." Knight admits that although it is too soon to think about a wedding, he definitely thinks his relationship with Cornell will last.

He adds, "We’ve only known each other for six months, so I think it’s a little soon to consider marriage. I don’t think you date anyone that you don’t see a future with."

I say, you go girl!!!!!

STFU Isaiah Washington

Dude this guy is so bitter getting fired from Grey's Anatomy that he just wouldn't let it go. And now, he's saying that they fired the wrong guy and the person deserving of getting fired is TR Washington!!!

What crap is he saying? Is he with Scientology?

During a telephone interview with Houston Chronicle, Washington said that TR Knight created a negative work environment and made it look like that the word "F#gg#t" was directed at him. McBitter also said that TR was causing all this drama since he wanted a salary increase and more scenes.

"That's a lie," Washington said. "I used the word during a disagreement with Patrick. I apologized for that. We shook hands and went back to work."

He said he is considering a lawsuit. "My livelihood, my honor and dignity and my name have been so challenged."

A lawsuit???? Stupid dumb f#ck!!!!

The best thing you should do is just shut the f#ck up and move on.

Oh here's another quote from McBitter:

"I was not fired for making homophobic slurs," he said. "I did everything I said I would do. I offered to go to counseling, to do a public service announcement. I wanted everyone to know I was remorseful."

Yeah, you're bitter definitely. If you're really remorseful then STFU already!!!! And don't you blame your stupidity on TR Knight!!!!

Geez!!!!!! Bitter bitter bitter bitter..... loser!!!!

Good News This Early In The Morning!!!!! TR Knight Rules!!!!

Isaiah Washington's rep, Howard Bragman, has confirmed last night to TMZ that "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes has called Isaiah and told him his contract with the show will not be renewed.

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, who first broke the story, reports that the decision was due only in part to Washington's on-set troubles, and was a result of a "pattern of problematic behavior."

Of course Isaiah Washington was not happy about this and said that his going to therapy and doing LGBT's public service was wasted. Kidding on this. Anyways, he issued the following statement:

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Persoanlly I'm glad about this. Enough said!!!!!!

There's Good News Today

T.R. Knight is not going anywhere!!!!!!! He's finally staying on "Grey's Anatomy"!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

T.R. Knight, a.k.a. the lovable George O'Malley, is expected to return as a series regular. Speculation has been swirling about his possible departure from Seattle Grace -- not only because of what happened in the May 17 finale (George didn't pass the intern exam!) but because of the incident earlier this season with co-star Isaiah Washington (who addressed him with a homophobic slur). According to one insider close to the negotiation, Knight has agreed to a new contract that will boost his per-episode salary to roughly $125,000 and give him a small piece of the show profits (pay hikes and profit points were also granted to many of Knight's co-stars, including Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, and Sandra Oh).

No word on the homophobic bigot yet.... good riddance I say.

EW

Thank God!!! No More Isaiah Washington On Grey's Anatomy

Well okay not really but almost.... US Weekly reports:

"He will not be back as a series regular," a source close to ABC tells Us, noting that the embattled star, 43 - who has been under fire ever since calling costar T.R. Knight, 34, a "f--got" -"could possibly show up for a few episodes" next season.

Still, Washington's rep insists, "Isaiah is not off the show. We do not have a contract yet, but we expect to."

"The cast - especially the women - just don't like him," says a Grey's source.

Totally understandable.... I guess I could stomach seeing him in one or two more episodes while they wrap up any dangling storyline concerns from this season.

Now I'm a bit concern with TR Knight..... has the producers decided to let him go too???? I hope not.... they better not!!!!!

Grey's Anatomy Should Bring Back TR Knight Or Else......

NEW YORK, NY (May 22, 2007) -- Access caught up with "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight last night as he was co-hosting the 52nd annual OBIE awards (honoring achievements in the off-Broadway stage) in New York City , when he admitted that he was unsure if he would be returning to "Grey's" next season.

"I literally don't know," he said. "It would be nice to know if I'm supposed to report back soon."

With his character's fate up in the air after failing his intern test in the medical drama's season finale, along with rumors of unease on the set due to September's "homophobic slur" incident with castmate Isaiah Washington, fans are anxious about whether Knight will return.

Knight told Access that he got a lot of calls from friends after the finale, wanting to know if he will be back. He thinks the producers haven't told him because actors have big mouths and would tell everyone, but that doesn't alleviate his anxiety.

"If you're supposed to report back to work in a month and a half, I would really like to know that," he remarked, adding, "because I would like to know if I can shave my head."

Knight, known for coloring his hair vibrant colors from time to time, was photographed last week with a bright red head of hair. It was back to its natural shade of brown, however, for last night's awards presentation.

They better bring him back or else....Much as I love Katherine Heigl, I would start a petition for people to stop watching the show.

I Heart TR Knight

USA Today reports:

LOS ANGELES — Receiving a prolonged standing ovation, Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight was nearly brought to tears on the Kodak Theatre stage as he opened Saturday's 18th annual GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Awards (airing on LOGO Saturday at 9 p.m. ET).

"I am angry...very angry at the inequality that we face every day," said Knight, who acknowledged his homosexuality in October after being called a slur by castmate Isaiah Washington. "I hope I can turn my anger into action. One of those actions is me being here tonight."

But earlier on the red carpet, Knight was upbeat and laughing over his Grey's character, George, hooking up with Izzie, played by his pal and vocal supporter Katherine Heigl. "It was our characters who slept together, not us," clarified Knight. "Her fiancé wouldn't be happy with me otherwise."

Puffy Is At It Again

Sources tell the New York Post's Page Six that at a Friday pre-Grammys soiree fronted by Rolling Stone and Justin Timberlake, Grey's Anatomy cast members T.R. Knight, Kate Walsh and Sara Ramirez were chilling in the VIP section when a bodyguard for Sean Combs told them to vacate their table, and thus make room for Puffy's posse. "This guy... started demanding, 'Get out! Get out now! Move it!' T.R. was furious," an eyewitness tells the paper, adding, "I don't think Puffy knew who T.R. was." After Knight exchanged words with Combs, the Grey's trio were led to another table.

A friend of Combs' tells the Post, "He wasn't aware of what was going on," while a rep for the singer says, "There was no [altercation]." "There was no altercation," eh? We've heard that one before.

Someone needs to put this Puffy or whatever he calls himself now in his right place.... that's just plain rude to do something like that. He sure does think highly of humself, huh?

TR Knight To Leave Grey's Anatomy

'Grey's Anatomy' cutie T.R. Knight was the target of a widely-publicized homophobic remark by co-star Isaiah Washington and he "is so upset about the situation and so disgusted by how it was all handled," that he's planning to make a quick departure from the show, claims a source.

"He was told not to say anything about the whole incident," says the insider, referring to an on-set dust up in October when Isaiah referred to T.R. as the F-word.

T.R.'s spokeswoman tells The Scoop: "We're not commenting on that." However, she later called back and said that the story was "Completely, one thousand percent false."

A rep for the network also reportedly called to say that "rumors of T. R. Knight's departure from the show are irrefutably untrue."

For those of you unfamiliar with Hollywoodese, publicist-driven denials are code for: it's totally happening!

This better not be true....... I swear if this is I'll blame the craetor of Grey's Anatomy and brand them as Bigots too... I swear I'll never watch that show again and will petition people not to watch it..... and I will continue doing so until the show is gone.

Rehab Is The 'In" Place To Be

Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has entered a residential treatment facility in an effort to quell the controversy surrounding his anti-gay remarks — and save his job, Life & Style has learned exclusively.

According to an insider, Isaiah, who issued an apology for his statements on Jan. 18, agreed to undergo a psychological assessment after talks with ABC executives.

The married 43-year-old father of three was spotted entering the facility at 9 a.m. today (Jan. 24).

Isaiah, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on the show, became embroiled in controversy for making a homophobic remark about Grey’s castmate T.R. Knight during an on-set argument last fall. (T.R., 33, publicly announced that he is gay after the incident.) The controversy reignited after the Jan. 15 Golden Globe Awards, at which Isaiah denied ever making the comment — but used the anti-gay slur in his denial.

“ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he would say such hateful words,” the insider says.

I didn't know there was a rehab for assholes and bigots.

Dr. McBigot To Be Fired?

E! Online Kristin Veitch reports:

Isaiah Washington may be on his way out.

I just received word from a highly placed source within the Touchstone/ABC family that ABC and Disney executives are currently considering the option of firing Isaiah Washington from Grey's Anatomy, effective immediately, without having him appear in any kind of farewell episode.

According to this reliable source, if the network does follow through with this option, the producers are likely to run a full-screen announcement at the beginning of the first Burke-less episode that announces Isaiah Washington is no longer part of the show.

I'm also told by various sources that the loss of Preston Burke is not an easy task for Grey's writing staff to deal with, given that he has a major storyline (including a life-changing event) coming in the next few episodes that airs during February sweeps. Those episodes have already been shot.

Please let this be true and I will pledge that I will be Grey's Anatomy's number 1 fan and of TR and of Katherine Heigl !!!!!! If this will come to be true, he had it coming!!!!! Being an actor, a celebrity, a star, etc.... they have a responsibility to the public, amongst other things.... If McBigot does not wish to take such a responsibility, then he should probably switch career.
