According to people on some other board she has denied this during her European promo tour for 27 Dresses.

Even if this rumour turns out to be false, I for one are not surprised. With her rise in the film world, the bountiful offering of feature film roles would make anyone think twice about being stuck with one project for 3/4 of the year. Katherine, more than any of the others (Even McDreamy Dempsey himself), has really taken to the spotlight and become more of a recognisable "face".
If she goes, she goes. If she doesn't, then brill. Either way, the show will have a storyline; it will either have the ratings from the death of Izzy, or will continue as it is now with the Gizzie/ Alex story lines. The character is one, to me personally, that you could still do a lot with, and there is so much more to find out about but, saying that, it can be just as replaceable in the show.

Season 3 was a bit disapointment and loosing Isiah Wasingont character sucked! I love the character of Izzie so I would hate to see her go. But unfortunately killing off her character would be a good story line,,however,,,why is it she has two good movies and now she thinks she is the next Julia Roberts? Maybe so,,but give yourself a little time lady.

I don't want her to leave just for the reason that I don't want GA's ratings to drop (It seems that she has a lot of fans... and there're a lot of ugh, Gizzie fans as well)
I think it's awful to leave the show just because of bigger and better offers. Where would she be right now if it wasn't for GA? Anyway, I'm guessing that her "it girl" status right now would be over before the year ends.
Also, I don't really think she's much of a movie actress. Eh, but that's just my opinion.

If Katherine leaves, it will not be the same. Regardless of what the writes are making her character do she is still part of the original Grey's Anatomy cast. It's going to happen all over again as it did with ER. All of the original cast started falling off. I stopped watching that A LONG TIME AGO! The characters make a show not just the writers. Who's next? Meredith? Give me a break! It's barely season 4 and already they are breaking off. I'll be seriously disappointed if this begins to happen to this show. Katherine has NOT out grown this show. Show a little loyalty for the fans that made you, my goodness!!!!
SERIOUSLY!!!
Huge GA fan.

Izzie and the Gizzie love story are why I watch, but if they are going for Lexzie again, who I hate more than life, she can leave. If Gizzie has a chance, she has to stay because I love them.
Clara Says:

George and Izzie's amazing love story is the one good thing on this show, she cannot leave. If I lose Gizzie, I am not watching again.
Katie- YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST STAY!!
For starters, I am a Gizzie fan.
Also, this is the ONLY show that I can EVER remember having so many VITAL CHARACTERS!!! Mer & Der are not expendable. George is not expendable. Izzie is not expendable. Christina is not expendable. Miranda is not expendable. Even Addie was not expendable. Her "spirit" lives on.
Izzie is VITAL to the show. I always got a kick out of her. But the world fell in love with the character that is Izzie Stevens when Denny fell in love with Izzie. and Katie is vital to Izzie's survival. She and Shonda and writers have built our beloved Izzie. So, NO KATIE- YOU CAN NOT LEAVE US ALL! As PD has often pointed out that GA has been so good to him, so has it been to you. Don't forget that!!!

As much as I would hate to see her go because I enjoy her character and her storyline, I'm deffinately interested to see how they would pull off her character's death. I'm an avid watcher of the L Word as well and back in their third season they killed off one of their main characters in a very dramatic and important way. She died of breat cancer which really impacted the audience in a meaningful way. Sure the show was never the same after that, but it sure made an important impression. So I think if they use Heigl's leaving the show as an opportunity to make a statement and send a powerful message, it could prove to be to the shows advantage as well as hers. It would be hard to watch, but I can't say that I'd be opposed to it. And she's such a great actress that I think she could pull off such a feat. Maybe that's just me. But I'm hoping to see more meaningful episodes of Grey's in the future. The multiple love triangles are kinda getting old. I need more. I want a deeper storyline. I think this might be a way to acheive that. But whatever happens happens. I can't say that I'll continue to watch forever if I don't seem to find interest in the show anymore, but right now I'm hopeful that the writers can salvage the show from what it has become. Writer's, I appreciate you and hope you never leave us again. But please help us out a little here.

I agree with Lola above. If she leaves her working days are numbered (like Shelley Long).
She's an integral part of the cast and one of the main reasons I watch the show. Since she is still under contract, she's not going anywhere..and I wouldn't want her to.
Christina Says:
March 11th, 2008 11:12 AM
Good riddance! Izzie is annoying and I wouldn't miss her character at all. In my opinion she's the weakest character in the show. Because of her story line I just view her as a home wreaker anyway. All her story lines have made her character weak anyway. Just my opinion on Izzie. As for Katherine, I saw Knocked up and it was good, I don't find her acting anything to write home about. I think she's overrated but again, just my opinion.
ruthie Says:

I actually heard about this a couple months ago from a friend who worked on Greys. This friend told me Katherine kept complaining about how she hated it and couldn't wait to get out.
Although, I think it would be awful/a little funny if she convinces them to kill her off and then her movie career flops.

Something tells me based on recent history, she isn't the kind of girl that keeps quite on any kind of issue. If she wanted out there would be hints in her interviews. She may not come right out and say "I want to leave Grey's" but I'm sure she would say something along the lines of "It's a lot of work." Something to hint at it being too much. Also she was very present for her show on the picket line. I just don't really see her leaving. If you took her away from Grey's than who would a lot of you love to hate? Who would you sink your little talons into then? Think about it. We all need her. Fans or No.
