Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are NOT leaving Grey’s Anatomy. Yet.  Both actors appear to want off the show in a desperate way, but ABC is not letting them off the hook so easily.  Both are still in contracts and would need to be written off the series.

Katherine had wanted to pursue a movie career.  TR has not been happy with the whole treatment of gays and lesbians on the show.

From People Magazine:

Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes wants to set the record straight: 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.”

Rhimes was referring to a recent comment in the press attributed to Grey‘s castmember James Pickens Jr., in which he was said to be confirming the departure of Heigl and Knight.

Hmmm.  So where did Pickens get his information from?  I think there’s been enough smoke here for awhile…the fire is going to break loose soon!
