T.R. Knight is leaving Grey's Anatomy

they haven't given him much this year, so I'm not surprised about it....they seem to have gone way overboard with the whole Izzy-dead man thing.

I mean can anyone tell me why it's more satisfying to viewers to see Izzy having sex with a dead man, than two lesbians discovering love? I just don't get it.

TR is right to jump ship now. This show is going down faster than a $5 whore. It's ridiculous. I would love to know what his reasoning REALLY is. The episode after Brooke was fired, he was in the show for a total of like 2 minutes. It was said that he called in sick but was actually pissed that she was let go.

Regardless of what they say, I believe Brooke Smith was fired for not being pretty enough or the stereotypical straight male fantasy of a lesbian. They replaced her with Melissa George, a hot young thin thing. Callie is going to be having a kiss with Jessica Capshaw, a hot young thin blonde thing. (Of course, that's also around the rumored time Sara may or may not be leaving the show.) They can try all they want, but the facts kind of speak for themselves. They claim no one liked Brooke's character. Of course not. They wrote her as a complete bitch. (And personally, I always wanted to tell her to rub the lotion on her skin!) Oh well. I miss season 2. I kind of hope one of these days that Meredith will wake up and say, "What happened?" Someone will answer, "You fell off the pier at the ferry crash site." Do over!

I wish they would have shown it! If Heigl thinks she has crappy material now, imagine how she'd feel if she had to masturbate on camera!

I totally don't blame him for leaving, but... come on TR, you're so dang cute on the show! It's only going to get worse without you!!!


(and YES about the JDM thing hehe. Pretty much the ONLY reason I'm semi-okay with this Denny storyline is because it's just sooo loverly having him back on the show to stare at every week! He's SO. adorable. and schmexy)

That's the thing... He hasn't really been on this year. He's had no story except his intern exam in passing. I don't know if that's because of the "storyline" or that he's difficult. Either way, it's annoying.

George, however, has been very busy in the past few months. (Or Why the Show Makes Me Crazy, by JG2) Denny died in May. New interns started in August. This season started in October. We are supposed to ignore the fact that they had a Halloween episode last season and just roll with the fact that it's only been two months. He lost his father, got married, cheated with Izzie, failed his exam, agreed to have a baby, confessed his affair, moved in with Izzie, broke up with Izzie, moved in with Lexie and passed his intern exam. That's one busy dude. I don't know why I got so invested in this stupid thing.

Yeah, Meredith and the crew were interns at the beginning of season 1. New interns didn't start until the beginning of season 4. If it weren't for Sara Ramirez and the characters of Mark and Callie, I would have stopped watching already. I could use Thursdays to catch up on all the crap I record on Tuesdays.

Entertainment Tonight listed this as RUMOR tonight. And if ET says so, it's true!

Yeah, I'm still kind of confused on the whole thing. Some sources are saying that he definitely did, while others just say it is a rumor still.

And I would imagine maybe he would go back to doing theater maybe? I know he did that before Grey's Anatomy, and he really does not have many other credits to his name for television or movies.

Although I'm sad TR is leaving, maybe this means Burke may reappear on the show for an episode or two.

---

Well Burke left the show because of his homophobic views toward TR

They BETTER not bring Isaiah back just because TR leaves! That would be just plain wrong. The reason they let him go was not (or at least SHOULD not have been) because of any specific feud between TR and Isaiah. It was because the way Isaiah acted was wrong and hurtful, and hurtful actions/words deserve consequences.

Why would it suddenly be okay for him to come back simply because TR is gone? While it very well might WORK better simply in terms of the fact that without TR there there it might eliminate some tension amongst the cast, that's not the point.

Not that I'm saying the man should never be able to work again, but with THAT cast, on THAT set? no. He was disrespectful and therefore should not be allowed on that set anymore, plain and simple. If they let him come back, that would imply that he's allowed to say those things and there's little to no consequence for it.

---

Yeah, I don't know how true the rumors are/were, but it sounded like Isaiah Washington was more of a problem than just what he said about T.R. Knight. Again, that could be fabricated a bit, but usually, when someone is let go from a job, it is for a good reason, although it may not seem like it at the time.
