I am not giving up hope. How many times has Assiello said Gizzie was over now, did he not say they would never happen in the first place? He is always wrong. Plus, they might be over for now but I doubt he knows for sure if they will ever happen again, no couple is ever over for good until the evry last episode airs or one of the actors leave. I will never give up on Gizzie, it makes me want to fight for them three times as hard. I will not quit the show, but I will def. not watch as religiously

George and Izzie are the only couple I ever cared about on this show, all the other couples disgusted me, especially Lexziepuke. They were magic together.

March 19th, 2008 1:58 PM
Newsflash, did you just read the messages? Many Gizzie fans have stopped watching the show already, and many of us will follow suit. I have stopped watching weeks ago and have taken much pleasure in seeing the ratings being lower than any time in Grey's history. Seems ending Gizzie did not help their ratings at all.
Izzie fell in love twice, with Denny and George. She was not in love with Hank or with stupid Alex, she never told him she loved him. He was just her very own sex toy. And he never should be anything more, Alex makes me sick.
George and Izzie were beautiful together, they radiated happinness and they were at their best.
And sorry but anyone with the name dielexiedie is not someone who seems to have much brain to begin with, and not one whose opinion bothers me one bit.
George and Izzie were always a couple without the sex, and their chemistry felt as natural as breathing to me, too bad you didn't see their beauty, but like said who wants someone like you to love them? It would just taint Gizzie and their beautiful love story
Keep your show and your boring MerDer and your gross Alex and Izzie, who wants it

So, uhm. Pretty much all ships have ended or are completely hideous. I am pretty much looking for a season2 beginning, no drinking, no sex kind of deal. Psh. personally I believe all the women should be sent of to catholic schools an become nuns, and then men well the majority are never ever having sex so it doesnt matter. I am not centering on any ship. I have liked them all, because it was like...hot sauce and ice cream..reeeaallly gross; but we just love it after a few spoonfuls. So gizzie's over. so what. Im sure she'll light another flame soon. Be Kind Rewind. haha no.

I have to say that I am very happy that George and Izzie are over. They should never have happened, the whole situation was bizarre. I mean, I think Izzie "falls in love" with anybody and really quickly too. And George, he is just hopeless.
Stop threatening to stop watching the show because they ended Gizzie and just do it.

That is your opinion, the Gizzie fans have also waited since season 1 for them to be together, for them to finally realize what they had was so much more than friendship, and they did, and their love story was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I am sorry but to me MerDer have sex, that is it, Gizzie has love.
George and Izzie have the truest love on TV, but Shonda is too chicken and stupid to follow through on them.
I will tryu very hard to keep watching, but my heart is not in it anymore, my heart is and always will be in Gizzie
Michelle Says:
March 19th, 2008 1:46 PM
Oh please, Shonda, TR and Katie all said Gizzie was planned from day 1, in fact Shonda had told both actors Gizzie would be together one day during the pilot.
You did not see the signs, sorry but they were pretty obvious. From Izzie's obsessive jealousy of Callie back in season 2, to the divotrce lawyer thinking they were a married couple, to George dumpingCallie there after Callie told him she loved him when she needed his help with Denny. All the George, Callie and Izzie scenes back in season 2 when Denny was still alive were done like a triangle, with Izzie always coming between George and Callie. Izzie spent a whole conversation with Denny talking about George, in fact George was pretty muchy all she talked about and after Denny's death, it became even more. They joked about having sex in season 2. They were always together, and Izzie would freak at the thought of George moving out. She had a hissy fit when he got married, begged him to not leave her in the locker room, with the whole it's me, it's US. Hello, it was obvious, even my friend who is not a fan thought they were going there all season 3. They talked about each other all the time, thought about each other all the time, and that hug they ahd when Izzie had so much trouble letting go, when Izziestarted to cry just holding him, it was obvious she ahd fallen for him. It was pretty much written in neon lights. You might not have wanted to see it, but all the signs were there for a very long time. Callie saw them, George's mom saw them, the divorce lawyer saw them.
It was obvious.
They were friends one year before they slept together. It is not like they were platonic friends 10 years then fell in love, the connection was always there and I could see them fall in love with each other.
Over on FF, we did a photo recap of George and Izzie's relationship since episode 1 and if you watched them, you would see the signs clear as day right from Izie's jealousy of Olivia in season 1.
George and Izzie were always obvious, two best friends falling in love along the way.
They love each other, they like each other, they are soulmates and have amazing chemistry.
Shonda is a damn fool for ending them. She has just lost me as a fan forever

You are talking about the second Touchstone panel, whch we were informed about, there were tons of Gizzie fans as you said. I participated in it, the reason why we did not stay in topic is the haters kept saying drop Gizzie drop Gizzie when they were not even mentioned, they started it. I was part of that panel and you remember things quite differently than we do. We are talking about the first panel, the one where 95% of people were against Gizzie. And Gizzie fans do not post on ABC ever, it is the place with the most juvenile shallow, homophobic racist fans on the Net, they are worse than TWOP. It turns out as I am a Merder fan and posted on their thread, all the MerDer fans there knew about that panel, they knew I was a Gizzie fan and yet they never informed me. When the results got oput, they gloated that now M'erDer would be the only coupe that would get a lot of airtime, and it would teach Shonda to put Gizzie on the frontburner. When I asked the person there why she had not informed me and the other Gizzie fans of the panel, she said because we only wanted MerDer fans there. I later learned all the MerDer fans posting there who were not Gizzie fans had been informed of it, but not us. Over on TWOP, I pretended to be a Gizzie hater and said how can I sink Gizzie even more, and I got sent a PM giving me the answers to the questions to qualify for the panels, I got told to tell all my friends to go vote against Gizzie, even if they did not watch the show, we had to put an end to the Gizzie monster.
This panel was only for US citizens, yet I saw a girl from France there who would talk against Gizzie all the time, a girl from Spain and so on. When I asked the girl from France how she got in, still pretending to be a Gizzie hater, she told me oh it is simple I made up a fake US address.
She also laughed about how they had spammed the first panel against Gizzie.
In that second panel where this time Gizzie did quite well as we knew about the panel, I heard this same person say they had to find a way to shut the Gizzie fans permanently. She threatened us there, tried to make us leave the panel, she would leave me threatening PMs (I of course posted under my real name there and she did not know I was the same person from TWOP).
So maybe you are right, maybe this had nothing to do with their decision, but some haters def. think they could influence their decision or they would not have spent so much energy spamming the polls and threatening us so we would leave the panel.
Over on TWOP, the few Gizzie fans who dared to post were so insulted and threatened, they left the board in fear. I have a lot of friends from TWOP who are Gizzie fans but never dared admit it on that board.
So give me a break, the haters threatened us, cheated and did all in teir power to break that couple up.
They would bash Gizzie first and when the Gizzie fans would answer, tell us we were off topic.
And Assiello and Kristen both said the first panel, the one we didn't know about because newsfl;ash a huge chunk of the fanbase does not go on ABC, inform yourself too, was so anti-Gizzie, Kristen said Shonda wanted Gizzie but that panel had made her change her mind. Aussiello said the panel and polls on ABC, a site Gizzie fans do not frequent, had put a stake in the couple.
Teamsugar had an article will a panel sink Gizzie for good.
The critics sure thjought those panels had influenced Shonda.
Yes the writers write the show but if they mistakenly think a couple is hated by everyone, and do not know how big a fanbase a couple really has, of course that will influence their writing.
Shonda went from squeeing over Gizzie, saying they were true love to saying in season 4, I don't know where people thought I was writing a love story and I know many hate it, but never worry I will fix it.
She tried very hard to calm the haters in season 4 and suddenly the couple she was squeeing had so much chemistry and was so great cannot have sex, or kiss, and are all wrong, give m a break, any idiot knows what happened
I will always love Gizzie and never forgive Shonda for her weakness
Oh well Says:
March 19th, 2008 1:30 PM
George and Izzie had one of the best friendships on the show, nothing more. They were just thrown together, no lead up, nothing. The sex they had could have been written off as a mistake but suddenly they were in love. It was so random. I did try to like them, really i did but i admit i did breathe a sigh of relief when i read the news. The MerDer fans are finally getting what they wanted after four seasons. They've been on and off since episode one and it's frankly about time they're together. george and izzie were friends since day one and it's only right that that's the way it should stay. I'm sorry. Ausiello could have been nicer about it though.

"Warned" about the Touchstone Panel? That panel has been in existence for quite a long time. I've been a member since Jan. 2007. ABC didn't "warn" me of the panel or notify myself or any other fan. If you ever looked at ABC's website, used the 'Contact Us' button, etc. the panel was quite visible. If you did not know of its existence, well, your own fault. That being said, I participated in every Grey's session. To state that there were no Gizzie fans present is laughable. They were there, unable to stay on topic for the questions being asked, constant "we want Gizzie" regardless of the questions. Regarding the poll - do you truly believe that poll determined a thing? The decision for storylines was likely made before the season even began, when all television shows map out their character storylones for the year. Yes, at time adjustments are made but no network/show does a poll then a week later decide "well ok! that's how we will go". A lot of money is spent on market research - the Touchstone panel, any internet poll, blog comments are just a small part of it. Inform yourself before spewing accusations that others "caused" the storyline. The writers write the show. The decision is theirs so grow up and stop blaming other fans.

March 19th, 2008 1:14 PM
izzie and george will get back together. remember the spoilers before the 4th season started. they said it would be over in the first episode but it went on for 10. so dont expect all the spoilers to be true.
Karina Says:
March 19th, 2008 1:11 PM
Well congrats to the Gizzie haters, you got what you wanted, who cares that the Gizzie fans waited four years to get their couple? You id not like them, so nobody else could.é You couldn't just not watch like most people do when they don't like a couple, you had to ruin it for all of us who waited since episode 1 for those two to get together. Congrats, I bet you are very happy, who cares that we are not?
Nick Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:49 PM
I hate Assiello, he is all gloating, assuming everyone is so glad about this, and I am not at all. I have never shipped a couple before because they always seemed so fake, but I loved those two, still do, always will, and nothing will convince me they do not belong together. No chemistry, ha, they have more chemistry than all the couples on Grey put together. Shonda is an idiot!
Marie Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:40 PM
George and Izzie are the only reason I sticked around the last two horrible seasons. They made sense to me, watching them together made me happy, they were so perfect. Shonda promised the Gizzie fans amazing places, she said they were the real thing, and it seems like all along, she never planned on making them stay together. She was making fun of us all along.
No other fanbase has ever been treated this horribly, and with the one good thing on the show being killed, I can finally get an hour of my life back every week.
I have sympathy for all the fanbases, you will always be screwed over by her.

I would wager a guess that the poll you are referring to on the web did not have much to do with the decision to end George and Izzie's relationship. This is a television goliath we are talking about. They know those polls get spammed.
They probably paid some big consulting firm to do some research. They held focus groups and asked their demo what the thought about the show. I'd bet 99.9% of those people said "I liked the show better last year/two years ago." Because of that - and rapidly declining ratings, ABC had to do something other than the Meredith and Derek BS.
That poll you're all whining about is not what killed your couple. The writers killed your couple. No one spamming or what have you had anything to do with it.
Gabriella Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:33 PM

I hate Aussiello, the Gizzie fans are heartbroken and he is thrilled, what an insensitive ass!
StacyH Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:32 PM
Hated George and Izzie. Glad they are kaput. With them together I was centimeters away from taking it off tivo. They made no sense. At all.
I loved Callie. She was awesome. Izzie (ever since Denny) has been a complete waste of space. What happened to the girl that took her shirt off in the locker room and wanted to be a serious doctor?
She's written horribly. And she killed George, whom I used to love.
Gigi Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:27 PM
George and Izzie was the best couple Grey ever created, too bad they don't have the guts to follow through on them. For once, we had a real love story. I am sorry, but my heart is broken and until it is fixed, I don't think I can watch again.
Hannah Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:20 PM
Of course there is nothing the Gizzie fans can do, there never was, that is why we are so angry. If George was 6,1 and had abs of steel, all the haters who go on about morality would probably have loved Gizzie and not cared at all how they started, of George looked like Alex. But George looks like a cute guy, not a hottie, plus TR is gay, they never had a chance with the teenager audience that spends the most time on the Net. Who cares that most people off the Net I know loves them? Who cares that they had so much chemistry and love and they were so perfect with each other, George was just not hot enough for model Izzie for some people and that was the biggest crime Izzie committed, not being shallow and falling in love with George over hot ass Alex? Some people will never accept George as more than the cute dork who is best friends with the hot women but never ever gets them. And TR and George deserve way better than that, and all of us Gizzie fans deserve way better than that.
But don't worry we know we will never be listened to, we never were, so why should we be now?
Lily Says:

Carrie Says:
March 19th, 2008 12:02 PM
Why not? A couple of people ruined Gizzie for all the people who love them. Aussiello by pretending we did not exist, TWOP and ABC people by spamming polls. This girl actually admitted to spending her whole afternoons spamming the poll against Gizzie. If a few people can ruin a couple that so many people loved, why should we shut up and accept it%? It is easy to talk for the MerDer fans, you never had anyone cheat and spam to sabotage your couple, you never had to be told that you are crazy, immoral and stupid for loving a couple like the Gizzie fans were told? The critics mention all the MerDer fans, they never mention us at all. It is not only that we are losing a couple that was swet, hot, wonderful and lovely, it is that the haters could not just ff and let all the people who love Gizzie enjoy them in peace, they did everything to sink them, lie and cheat, and they are being rewarded for their terrible behavior.
The Gizzie fans always took the high road and what do we get as a reward? A knife in the heart and people gloating that they won and Gizzie is over
It is NOT fair.
And I don't plan on staying silent and not blast Shonda and ABC for letting those people win.
I am gone too.
Monique Says:
March 19th, 2008 11:56 AM
Yes, I used to watch the show without Gizzie, althjough their friendship was always one of the main reasons why. The show lost its magic for me last season and I was about to quit when they pulled me in with their surprisingly wonderful love story. They were why I stayed when I was about to leave. A lot of people fell for them, unfortunately the haters ruined it for all of us who loved them. I will follow my plan of leaving the show that I had started before they had happened. Nothing different will ever happen on this show, always same old same old suff that made me tire of the show in the first place. The core base of the show is just too scared of changes and the show has become rpedictable and boring.
Gizzie was the one breath of fresh air, and now they are gone, and so am I.
RELAX Says:
March 19th, 2008 11:49 AM
well what exactly did you guys do. i understand that everyone is really upset right now. and if the same thing that is happening with Gizzie happened with MERDER i would be SOOOO upset. but like we need to learn to move on. you can't exspect a couple of pepopel on a greys anatomy fan site to change the whole show. i dont think shondra can change her whole script on because of this. even tho GIZZIE was great its not the end of greys
Milania Says:
March 19th, 2008 11:42 AM
Who is asking you to care? The show obviously does not care about the Gizzie fans, so why should you?
I am so angry right now, I can't see straight.
Thanks for teaching me that spamming, threatening and whining gets you what you want on this show, and that losers like Aussiello and TWOP posters always get what they want.
This Gizzie fan has been waiting 4 years for this couple to get together and I will say, we got severely screwed and we have every right in the world to be angry right now.

A lot of money is spent on market research - the Touchstone panel, any internet poll, blog comments are just a small part of it. Inform yourself before spewing accusations that others "caused" the storyline. The writers write the show. The decision is theirs so grow up and stop blaming other fans.

izzie and george will get back together. remember the spoilers before the 4th season started. they said it would be over in the first episode but it went on for 10. so dont expect all the spoilers to be true.

Well congrats to the Gizzie haters, you got what you wanted, who cares that the Gizzie fans waited four years to get their couple? You id not like them, so nobody else could.é You couldn't just not watch like most people do when they don't like a couple, you had to ruin it for all of us who waited since episode 1 for those two to get together. Congrats, I bet you are very happy, who cares that we are not?

I hate Assiello, he is all gloating, assuming everyone is so glad about this, and I am not at all. I have never shipped a couple before because they always seemed so fake, but I loved those two, still do, always will, and nothing will convince me they do not belong together. No chemistry, ha, they have more chemistry than all the couples on Grey put together. Shonda is an idiot!

George and Izzie are the only reason I sticked around the last two horrible seasons. They made sense to me, watching them together made me happy, they were so perfect. Shonda promised the Gizzie fans amazing places, she said they were the real thing, and it seems like all along, she never planned on making them stay together. She was making fun of us all along.
No other fanbase has ever been treated this horribly, and with the one good thing on the show being killed, I can finally get an hour of my life back every week.
I have sympathy for all the fanbases, you will always be screwed over by her.

I want to cry right now, I love Gizzie so much, we never were even given a chance/
March 19th, 2008 12:36 PM
I would wager a guess that the poll you are referring to on the web did not have much to do with the decision to end George and Izzie's relationship. This is a television goliath we are talking about. They know those polls get spammed.
They probably paid some big consulting firm to do some research. They held focus groups and asked their demo what the thought about the show. I'd bet 99.9% of those people said "I liked the show better last year/two years ago." Because of that - and rapidly declining ratings, ABC had to do something other than the Meredith and Derek BS.
That poll you're all whining about is not what killed your couple. The writers killed your couple. No one spamming or what have you had anything to do with it.
March 19th, 2008 12:33 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo! I want George and Izzie together, why did you have to ruin my whole day?
I hate Aussiello, the Gizzie fans are heartbroken and he is thrilled, what an insensitive ass!
March 19th, 2008 12:32 PM
Hated George and Izzie. Glad they are kaput. With them together I was centimeters away from taking it off tivo. They made no sense. At all.
I loved Callie. She was awesome. Izzie (ever since Denny) has been a complete waste of space. What happened to the girl that took her shirt off in the locker room and wanted to be a serious doctor?
She's written horribly. And she killed George, whom I used to love.
March 19th, 2008 12:27 PM
George and Izzie was the best couple Grey ever created, too bad they don't have the guts to follow through on them. For once, we had a real love story. I am sorry, but my heart is broken and until it is fixed, I don't think I can watch again.
March 19th, 2008 12:20 PM
Of course there is nothing the Gizzie fans can do, there never was, that is why we are so angry. If George was 6,1 and had abs of steel, all the haters who go on about morality would probably have loved Gizzie and not cared at all how they started, of George looked like Alex. But George looks like a cute guy, not a hottie, plus TR is gay, they never had a chance with the teenager audience that spends the most time on the Net. Who cares that most people off the Net I know loves them? Who cares that they had so much chemistry and love and they were so perfect with each other, George was just not hot enough for model Izzie for some people and that was the biggest crime Izzie committed, not being shallow and falling in love with George over hot ass Alex? Some people will never accept George as more than the cute dork who is best friends with the hot women but never ever gets them. And TR and George deserve way better than that, and all of us Gizzie fans deserve way better than that.
But don't worry we know we will never be listened to, we never were, so why should we be now?

My comment has nothing to do with gizzie but I saw that you didn't have a name for Hawn and Mark so I thought you call them Slawn or Hark.
March 19th, 2008 12:02 PM
Why not? A couple of people ruined Gizzie for all the people who love them. Aussiello by pretending we did not exist, TWOP and ABC people by spamming polls. This girl actually admitted to spending her whole afternoons spamming the poll against Gizzie. If a few people can ruin a couple that so many people loved, why should we shut up and accept it%? It is easy to talk for the MerDer fans, you never had anyone cheat and spam to sabotage your couple, you never had to be told that you are crazy, immoral and stupid for loving a couple like the Gizzie fans were told? The critics mention all the MerDer fans, they never mention us at all. It is not only that we are losing a couple that was swet, hot, wonderful and lovely, it is that the haters could not just ff and let all the people who love Gizzie enjoy them in peace, they did everything to sink them, lie and cheat, and they are being rewarded for their terrible behavior.
The Gizzie fans always took the high road and what do we get as a reward? A knife in the heart and people gloating that they won and Gizzie is over
It is NOT fair.
And I don't plan on staying silent and not blast Shonda and ABC for letting those people win.
I am gone too.

Yes, I used to watch the show without Gizzie, althjough their friendship was always one of the main reasons why. The show lost its magic for me last season and I was about to quit when they pulled me in with their surprisingly wonderful love story. They were why I stayed when I was about to leave. A lot of people fell for them, unfortunately the haters ruined it for all of us who loved them. I will follow my plan of leaving the show that I had started before they had happened. Nothing different will ever happen on this show, always same old same old suff that made me tire of the show in the first place. The core base of the show is just too scared of changes and the show has become rpedictable and boring.
Gizzie was the one breath of fresh air, and now they are gone, and so am I.
March 19th, 2008 11:49 AM
well what exactly did you guys do. i understand that everyone is really upset right now. and if the same thing that is happening with Gizzie happened with MERDER i would be SOOOO upset. but like we need to learn to move on. you can't exspect a couple of pepopel on a greys anatomy fan site to change the whole show. i dont think shondra can change her whole script on because of this. even tho GIZZIE was great its not the end of greys
March 19th, 2008 11:42 AM
Who is asking you to care? The show obviously does not care about the Gizzie fans, so why should you?
I am so angry right now, I can't see straight.
Thanks for teaching me that spamming, threatening and whining gets you what you want on this show, and that losers like Aussiello and TWOP posters always get what they want.
This Gizzie fan has been waiting 4 years for this couple to get together and I will say, we got severely screwed and we have every right in the world to be angry right now.
