I'm sick of Heigl. She's not talented. Not pretty. Not worth talking about.
I have no idea why she's in the media so much. She should be dropped from the cast. She has nothing going for her on the show, and clearly she thinks she's better than anyone. I have no idea why.
She needs to shut up. KH was a nobody, as far as I'm concerned she still is a nobody. Just a nobody with a big ungrateful mouth now.

I'm gonna have to side with KH on this. I'm sorry but the writers did an insanely CRAPPY job this year. The writers wrote these crappy episodes right before their "strike". Frankly, if you don't get paid enough, FIND ANOTHER JOB and let someone else give it a try! I wish they would have fired ALL of the writers and brought in some better ideas! The writers were too busy looking at striking than writing suitable material for us to watch. They completely messed up my favorite show to the point that I won't be watching the new season. I applaud Katherine for standing up for herself and knowing what's good and what's not. Atleast she's not a sellout like so many other actors and actresses. The writers need to pull their heads out of their butts and write something worthwhile and not the petty crap they are now!

Are you guys blind or just plain stupid. The last season of Greys' was HORRIBLE. the writers did a awful job on the show and should have all been fired in the strike! I like the KH will stand up and say it like it is. The writers SUCK...get new ones!
justme Says:
June 15th, 2008 9:32 AM
The fact that the writing sucks is not the point. Its KH and her very public way of bitch slapping her boss. Would YOU do that to your boss????? What she did is not ok no matter how bad the material was that she was given.
wicked Says:
June 15th, 2008 12:17 PM
I am a fan of her and I did like her character the best in the 1st and 2nd seasons. True, she is not getting great story lines this season, but she should keep her mouth shut and not publicly slam the writers like that. I cringe everytime she opens her mouth and makes some kind of back handed inslt to those who may have helped launched her career. If she publicly apologizes for those comments, I may be able to let this go. Until then I wish she would shut the hell up.

It would be a delight if she's no longer on the show. Her character & constantly annoying behavior would not be missed. Seriously, what is she adding anyway? Seriously!
Kaci Says:
June 15th, 2008 1:23 PM
I have read all the comments and about 50 to 60% say that they are tired of her whining on the show and won't mind it if her character is let go. You are simply proving KH's point! If her material was Emmy-worthy you would be BEGGING for her to stay. She is WHINEY because that is what the writers give her character!!!! Secondly, an Emmy is a personal award. She turned down a personal award for herself. What is wrong with you people?
Jen Says:
June 15th, 2008 3:34 PM
She's a total bitch!!! I used to like her, but now I can't stand her...She did the same thing with Knocked Up. As soon as the movie was a success, she criticized it. I hope people see how fake and ungrateful she is a do not give her any more jobs!!! She sucks!!!
tiff Says:
June 15th, 2008 4:10 PM
I'm totally on the writer's side. She should leave, seriously it's Grey's that made her all famous n stuff, and now she's bitch slapping back at them. The writers did a bad job cuz of the writers strike thingy, but then the show returned bigger and better. KH is such a b***** $^%@^T^#($
Laura Says:
June 15th, 2008 7:23 PM
I agree with Kate! From everything else that I've read about Katherine Heigl it sounds like she is modest and personable. This is the first negative thing I have heard about her and it does seem like she said a few things that were blown out of proportion and possibly taken out of context, for all any of us know.
Scarecrow Says:
June 15th, 2008 9:14 PM
While I agree that the writing on GA may not have been stellar for some of the S4 episodes, I totally disagree with how Katherine chose to voice her opinion of it. It showed a total lack of respect for her employers, and they have every right to do something about that, either it be something like firing her, or giving her even worse material next season. You never bite the hand that feeds you, unless you are willing to deal with the consequences. There was a classy way for Katie to address her disappointment with the material she was given, and this was not it. Some of her co-stars (i.e. Eric, Sandra, Chyler, and James) were given even less to do than she was, and I don't see them complaining to the press about it. They have my respect, while Katie is quickly losing it.
Aminata Says:
June 15th, 2008 10:05 PM
I am sick of Katherine too, I tolerated her before because I love Gizzie so much and they are my favorite couple, but since it seems we will never have them again, the ungrateful witch can leave. Without Gizzie, Izzie is a total bore. Not sure how my sweet TR can be friends with her.
this is harsh but if she is to leave, I vote she dies in some kind of tragedy and there's this big scene with her and Denny... ya know

Being honest does not work all the time, it should be tempered with tact. KH definitely lacks that. She was up for an acting award and a truly great actress could pull it off even if the writing is bad. If she wanted to comment on the writing she can perfectly do so but it should not be used as an excuse for substandard acting. The rest of the cast had good performances despite the bad script especially in the pre-strike episodes. If KH is honest with herself, she should admit that she was given more acting material than SO and CW. Shame on her that these two showed good acting with what little material they were given. I do hope they get nominated as well as EP in the lead category.

i think that although season 4 had its struggles there was still a whole lot of izzie stuff going on- especially at the start and finish, however i think it should be irrelevant how much screen time she got, the fact that she's openly criticising the show that MADE her is a sign that she does not have any respect for either the show or the writers- fine feel bitter, you're entitled but don't openly tell people! it's disrespectful and unproffessional- also does that mean she thinks dame judi dench's oscar was undeserved for the 8 minutes of screen time she had in shakespeare in love? she could have made her performance great whatever the script was like- that's like blaming the weather for why you're late- LAME EXCUSE.

Heather Says:

If all actors/actresses left every season they didn't get a good role there would be a lot of new people playing their characters or shows wouldn't last very long. I didn't think Sloan had such a great story line this season, but I don't see him complaining.
Good luck Katherine, just don't come running back when you don't get a box office hit. I know I won't be watching any of her movies...she should really stop being so ungrateful as there are other actors/actresses who would die to get a part on anything.
era Says:
June 17th, 2008 7:48 AM
She should really learn how to shut her mouth if she doesn't want people to call her an ungrateful, egotistic b****. It' not like she's the only main character in GA for God's sake. She should know that the show musn't revolve around her. I believe she's got more role in the 4th season than Sandra Oh.
Chuck Says:
June 17th, 2008 1:29 PM
I'm agree with Heigl, her storyline actually did suck, actually the whole season sucked, but it was really bad for Izzie, in first place her relationship with George which was excelent written in the last part of season three, all that chemistry stuff is just insane and boring...next Lexie: what the hell were they thinking? that's the worst decisition ever...ask yourselves? what were the best episodes this season? answer: those where Lexie is invisible, maybe is the actress...but maybe is the script...I think is both.
Another thing: Erica Hahn is almost as out of place as Lexie I can't believe these writers had made this kind of mistakes.
George Storyline: Her Intern status should be solved in the first two episodes, but these writers I think were more aware to go to strike that writting good material, and that's not only for Grey's Anatomy but for Heroes, Chuck and even the same Private Practice. Thank God LOST didn't went into this lack of creativity.

I agree with Greys Dude. There is no point getting worked up about this - Heigl certainly isn't, she is on vacation in Mexico for heaven's sake! It's clear as daylight what she is doing - clever strategies designed to get out of her Greys contract. Though her actions may seem unpopular now, guess who will laugh all the way to the box office in the future? When she is finally free to make the back to back hit movies that she wants to she will not even think twice about the Greys writers' or fans she pissed off. Nor will anyone remember, if anything she will be lauded for her forward thinking and "ability to say it how it is". I'll give her one thing - she is darn smart!
sprite Says:
June 17th, 2008 2:43 PM
The GA team need to outthink KH on this one and this mean digging their heels in and refusing to fire her...then it will be interesting to see what strategy she comes up with next. KH is hungry - mega stardom beckons and she definitely wants to grab it while she can and sees no reason why she cannot. In a way I do not blame her - she is currently one of Hollywoods "it" girls who can do no wrong and has the looks, youth and a modicum of talent to get ahead. I think she is at a place where she feels nothing and noone should stand in her way. She intends to strike while the iron is hot and I almost feel sorry for whoever is in the way. It seems to me she will use anyone and do whatever is neccessary to achieve her dreams. Just ask IW and now GA writers'/Shonda Rhimes. Should be fun...

I think this B__cth really need a mouthwash to rinse out her outrageous bad mouth. She is just a lucky person always given a second chance but still she is not grateful about it. She should be like Teri Hatcher very down to earth because she knows what it is like to be unemployed so after giving her another chance she is embracing whole heartedly without any complaints.

Katherine's scenes were stupid last year, I agree... but the Emmy race is about you as an actor/actress and how well they perform... not about how good or bad the writing was. Regardless if she liked her scenes or not, she should have delivered them with enough gusto and an amazing performance to be deserving of an Emmy.
Chris Says:
June 18th, 2008 4:12 PM
If I was in charge of the writers, I'd bury her. I'd make her fulfill her next two years and give her maybe three lines per episode, tops. I'd all but make her a bit player, make Izzie an afterthought of a character, little more than a prop in the corner. Then I'd kill her character off in the last episode of her contract so there'd be no return. GA giveth, GA taketh away. But hey, I'm spiteful that way.
