Katherine Heigl is not returning to Grey’s Anatomy. In one of the longest, most drawn-out departures in television history, it looks like Katherine Heigl is finally throwing in the towel and saying goodbye to Grey’s Anatomy. For some reason, Heigl has had a love/hate relationship with the show and often criticized the writing.
more Katherine after the hop…
This time, however, she may have a legitimate excuse. Heigl adopted a special needs baby from South Korea late last year and after taking some time off, it doesn’t look like she’s returning.
Citing sources, Entertainment Weekly reports that the ABC show’s creator, Shonda Rimes, has agreed to release Heigl from her contract; a final exit agreement still needs to be worked out.
Heigl had been on leave from the hit show while she tended to her film career as well as her newly- adopted daughter, Naleigh, but was scheduled to resume shooting episodes March 1.
EW.com reports the actress never appeared at the studio on or after that date , and she may end up not shooting any additional episodes. An ABC rep declined to comment.
Uh oh. Sounds like somebody was fired…no?
