Note the question mark. This is not confirmed.
But there's no mistaking the latest buzz hissing from the set of the ABC hit is that Grey's Anatmy creator Shonda Rhimes may be entertaining the idea of killing off Katherine Heigl's Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens. Why?
Lest we forget, Heigl took herself out of the running for this year's Emmy Awards, declining to even submit her name for consideration because she felt the writers failed to give her enough good material in Season 4.
"It's not good," a source on the Grey's Anatomy set told E! Online. "Shonda is pissed. They're thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead."
While a dead Izzie may still not happen, it would be a bit ironic, as Grey's Anatomy insiders have long speculated that Heigl wants off the show.
Going public with her Emmy complaint only increased speculation that she wants out of her contract to focus on her film career, which is red hot.
A rep for Shonda Rhimes said, "I haven't heard anything about that." Reps for both Katherine Heigl and ABC declined to comment on the subject.
What do you think? Is it time for Izzie to check out? And does Katherine Heigl have what it takes to leave Grey's Anatomy behind?

I don't really care either.
She did have a point when she said that the writers didn't give her good material, but that was mostly her own fault, because of her busy filmschedule.

i don't care. she's getting on my nerves. she can live or die i wouldnt care. but im just thinking about how they would kill her and make it work with the rest of the show?

PLEASE!!! DON'T KILL IZZIE!!! A lot of people watch the show just because of her. Her fame brings her fans, then those fans like to watch whatever she is in. Many people would be very upset if you killed Katherine Heigl off of the show, therefore would stop watching the show. That would have a big impact on how the show does. I think she just needs to focus on Grey's Anatomy more. Give her another chance... PLEASE!!!

I think that Katherine Heigl is a great actress. And i think that the writers did give her a worthless part. Heigl is capable of much more. I mean,she saved a deer. I would be mad too. Izzie is important to the show and I don't know why they gave her such a crappy part. I don't think they should kill her off the show just because she took her name out of the Emmy nominees.She did the right thing. She deserves a better part.Although she is a loved character,she had to stand up for herself.
