Or instead of making a public apolgy to writers and Shonda, she should/could learn from this. But she should have just said taht she was withdrawing from the competition and left it at that.

The writers gave her the George story line so she would have something to do, but I am so glad it's over. Supposedly, in real time, these people have known eachother about 18 months. in that time, Izzy had a boyfriend (the hockey play, season 1), dumped him, moved on to dating Justin Chambers character. Dumped him (he cheated) , got back together with him, dumped him for Denny, who she was going to marry. He died, and then she fell for George, AFTER he married someone else. Bad story line all the way around, but she is such a one-note actress that it's about all she can handle.

What the h... is she thinking!
I mean I like her work and the character of Izzie, but for God sake shut your mouth woman, or you'll loose your 200.000 follars per episode, or how much she is payed for playing on Grey's Anatomy!
I mean you don't bite the hand that feeds you, everybody knows that! Everybody with a half a brain, that is!!!
Another things, ist simply bad form an manners to critizise the show which catapulted you into stardom! Us she nutz, on pills or what?
As much as I would hate Izzie nót being a part of grey's Anatomy, I still almost want Katherine Heigl to be doing this on purpose so as to be let out of her contract, cos at least then her dumb, dumb action of taking hersould out of the Emmy nominations and critizising the show would make some sense! But as it is, what the h... are you thinking Heigl?

I'm going to look at it from Heigl's point of view because it's obvious tons of people are so against her without trying to see if there's another angle that we as the OUTSIDE world can't see. Reading this article, even the writer doesn't know why she would so stop speculating and nagging because over half of you all complaining haven't a clue either, so it's useless. I think there's nothing wrong with her removing her name if she wants to. It is her choice, they're given the choice to submit it in the first place. It's not showing arrogance or ungratefulness at all. She probably realizes that there are other actors who deserve the award more than she does, especially since she's been in the movies lately. It's not a move of pity but a move of stepping back and not being in the limelight...yet she is because people think she's ungrateful? Hardly. I think it's a misunderstanding and she's not taking the chance to clear it up, because everyone now has their extreme negative opinion about it.

You do have a point 'Devil's Advocate', a fitting screenname by the way, she could be doing it because she feels, that there are other actresses on Grey's Anatomy better suited and deserving of an Emmy nomination, but she still should have been more diplomatic about it thus not critizising the show which feeds her on a monthly basis and has basicaly catapulted her into stardom, and she certainly should have steped up and spoken about her reasoning a little more clearly now that she so obviousaly has been getting a unfortunate backlash! Yet of all the times she should be talking, she choses to remain silent, which is a real bad carrer move!

I love Izzie in grey's, so it would be a pity if she would leave. Cuz Isaiah already left, and if she would leave too, there would be already 2 great characters gone.
I can understand that the more money all those hollywood people make, the more they want.
But Heigl must keep in mind that it is because of grey's she became this famous. It's not appropriate to say such things like she did now with the emmy awards. Come on, all those people made her famous and now she would just take advantage of it and leave behind what made her a star??
Come on Heigl, think kwice and don't disappoint the fans!!

I'm becoming a bigger fan of Katherine Heigl. I just love that she speaks her mind. It does come over a bit rude and sometimes offending, but in my point of view she's right. I am a big fan of Grey's Anatomy, but I'm a little dissapointed in the way the story developed. According to me she's right not to put her name forward for the Emmy's.

Katherine was right to withdraw her name from Emmy nomination. The writers really didn't give her the material that would warrant a nomination. Look at how she won the last Emmy - her scenes where Izzie talks about giving her daughter up for adoption and most notably the scenes with Denny, especially the last scene on prom night. Katherine has PROVED that she can deliver when she's given the right stuff. It's not her fault that lately, the GA writers have been giving her high school drama crap with Izzie and George and she can't stretch her acting chops. Katherine was totally just in speaking out. Maybe it wasn't the best move media wise, but she was right. Her material sucked this season. To the GA writers - give Katherine a chance to once again floor audiences with writing that is more than just irritating banter between Izzie and George. Give her another scene like prom night, and we'll all see that Katherine isn't just an ego inflated actress. She's actually a GOOD actress.

I think the COMA idea is stupid.. I like Katherine her character in Grey's is one of my Favorites. I love her in 27 dresses that was the best movie ever.. I really hope she stays in Grey's Anatomy the show wouldnt be the same without her...
Ok so I'm thinking that Katherine has two points going in my eyes. First point: I think she was just being self-centered. I mean, she's been in MANY movie blockbusters, but Grey's got her started, and without it, she'd be just another struggling, young actress. Second point: maybe she has a slight point. I mean, Izzie had some storylines, but not as many as others. But there was a HUGE brick wall that appeared in the middle of the season. It's called a Writer's Strike, smart ones. Maybe Katherine pulled her name out of consideration because all the other characters had better, stronger storylines. Like, personally, I think Chandra Wilson deserves an Emmy. She was EXCELLENT this season. Well I think that she should stay on Grey's, and that she should learn to say what people tell her to say, and try not to make people hate her anymore. That's my two cents.

KH is well within her right to choose to opt out of the EMMYs, it was the smartest thing for her to have done. With the lame material she was given she certainly has no chance for even a nomination so what do you think THAT will do to her blossoming Movie career.
For all those condemning her for "biting the hand that fed her" All I can say is GIVE ME A BREAK! do you think if the tables were turned the Studio will think twice about dumping her if that will translate into higher ratings (which can only happen in a parallel world); she just weighed her options and chose the the best strategic line of action i.e saving herself the humiliation of not getting even a nomination after her last years performance - which could wreck her promising movie career. In such a scenario bad press alone could kill her career. Thankfully with her smart choice that isn't happening.
As for killing Izzie, I have no worries, Shonda knows exactly where the show is headed without Izzie.
Gizzie is the best love story on TV AND in the movies, it's so because KH loves TRK in real live but tragically TRK is Gay so she gets to vent her feelings for him on GA thats why every Gizzie love scene is hot because its real.
Any thats what i think.
KH you absolutely rock!
