Yesterday, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly broke the news of T.R. Knight's impending departure from Grey's Anatomy. Today, he's got more information on that huge piece of news, additional Grey's Anatomy spoilers, rumors and bad baseball metaphors ...
Q: Okay, what's the real story behind T.R. Knight's probable exit?
A: Another Grey's Anatomy mole just checked in, so let's ask him... "He's an actor. He wants to act. It's that simple." In other words, the 16 minutes of screen time George O'Malley has had this season? Not cutting it.
Q: I'm devastated about T.R. Knight's Grey's Anatomy departure. Is there any chance that he'll change his mind?
A: Not unless ABC forces him to, but that's unlikely. My guess is an exit agreement will be brokered before the holidays and Knight will make his final appearance around mid-season.
Q: I know you can't tell us who the "fired actor" blind item is about, but can you tell us who it's not about? Please tell me it's not McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey.
A: It's not Patrick Dempsey. And that was your Last. Clue. Ever. At least until said actor-actress officially gets the hook, at which point all will be revealed.
Q: You said Mark and Lexie wouldn't reach first base on Grey's Anatomy until early '09. I'm pretty sure we were still in '08 last Thursday when the two of them hit a home run. What gives?
A: Sorry, I got my dates mixed up. And I suck at baseball. I thought getting to first base was a home run.
Q: I love Lexie and Mark together! Please tell the Grey's Anatomy writers are going somewhere with this story.
A: The Grey's Anatomy writers are going somewhere with this story. Where exactly? Let me try this again... They'll score multiple touchdowns and at least two slam-dunks during the second half of the season.
Q: So happy about Eric Stoltz on Grey's Anatomy! Anything else on his storyline?
A: Contrary to speculation, his serial killer character is not going to murder George during a Seattle Grace hostage crisis. Rather, he's there to receive medical attention after he suffers a major beat down in prison. His three-episode arc takes a surprising turn around episode 2.

It is sad that T.R is leaving the show but i guess i got used to not seeing him so frequently. anyway i so pleased it is not patrick dempsey who is leaving as grey`s would`nt be the same without him, although i wish we could see a bit more of him and his love story.

My sister just said something that I had to agree on. TR is not gonna find job easily. He's not like PD or KH who do movies and are very famous w/out grey's. Or EP or SO who won some awards thanks to Grey's. If you ask someone who is not a grey's who he is I'm sure they will not know. And who has heard about IW after he left?! so TR if you want to end your career as an actor now. GOOD LUCK with that.

Good grief - not everyone who wants to act needs to do it for 10 million people plus. Lots of actors are happy doing stage, etc...plus he's surely secured himself financially to have flexibility. Wish him well and get over it.
I do wonder though if his departure will be related to a failed brain transplant to save Izzie - which would tie in nicely with the "someone is getting fired" storyline.
Everyone is happy it's not McDreamy, but what if it's Meredith? Now that Lexie is around, Meredith could leave without requiring a title change for the show...

I am going to pretend that TR Knight actually takes the time to read these comments, but COME ON YOU SELFISH PRICK!
Every character has its down time. Everyone can't be the center of the show and we all know that George has been the center plenty of times. AND, does TR think he is actually going to get another job? Um, lets look at Matt LeBlanc from Friends. What has he done since Friends. Exactly. TR...stay where you are successful. BIG, BIG mistake. Make your six-figure salary and shut it. Wait a couple of months when they decide to make it about you again. I mean, really. Selfish, selfish. Obviously, the economic pinch must not be affecting you. Otherwise, you would stay put!
