If they get rid of anyone it should be Izzy - her character is terrible and the Denny thing - come on!

I can bet Katie Heigl is happy now. Most of the fans hate her character and think Izzie should be killed off and that her Denny storyline is crap! And she can't even bitch about it because she's already called a diva. Besides TR is leaving. Don't get me wrong, she's a great actress with great skills but she didn't exactly put herself in the best situation with this Emmy thing.

The show was based on the friendship between Izzie, George, Cristina, Meredith and Alex. To lose one of them... this show is on it's way out. I love Greys, I do. I've watched every episode a million times. They have lost what made them brilliant, and it is sad. Sure, Grey's will go on. But without George? Like him or not, he is an integral part of the show. How sad. I wish we could go back!

Ok., that show has jumped the shark! First Burke, then Addison, then Erica, now George, what the h... is happening here? Im I the only one who finds this just a tad bit strange?

Well that`s sad. Grey`s looks like it`s falling apart with him leaving and I wouldn`t be suprised with Katherine leaving. He says it`s time to move on... but where exactly is he going to move on to? Sorry if that comes off as mean but to be honest, he doesn`t exactly have katherien or Patrick`s career at the moment in terms of job opportunity... I wish him the best anyway.
One last thing, why does it ALWAYS have to be about homophobia over here whenever it comes to T.R.?? I know what happened with Washington was bad, but how can it not be possible that he`s just unhappy with his work or that the producers aren`t happy with his work? We don`t know the full story of what happens behind the scenes. You have to take things with a grain of salt.
Can't say I didn't see this coming but I think that it's a weak of him wanting to be let out of his contract because this season his storyline isn't the way he wants it to go. Dude, it's an ensemble cast, sometimes an actor isn't going to be the same screen time than the other ones. Why hasn't James complained also? And if the check is still the same...give it time. Maybe not right now but after it's going to be a better chance.
That being said, he will be missed. He wasn't my primary reason of watching the show but I'll miss him.
Nadja, I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that Mark or Alex aren't your favorites. Doesn't mean they can't act. JC (Alex) did an excellent job last week. And Mark? Flawless as usual. Maybe they don't have Emmys or Golden Globes but it doesn't mean that they can't act. Plus, who didn't respect him? All of his working partners did. He had friends there and friends respect each other...do you mean the fans? YOU respect him, right?
Everyone has a different taste. I shouldn't have to feel bad about loving the McHunks because they aren't George.
And finally, word. Izzie should be the one gone. Not TR, not Brooke or anyone else.

Yeah...TR Knight's character is not a favorite of mine, but I thought he was quite entertaining on the show...his interaction with the other characters are amusing, but I wouldn't mind seeing him leave...He'll get new projects anyway, like Brooke Smith.
I wonder if Isaiah Washington would be brought back since Knight is out...it might be a nice twist for Christina and Hunt.

Some people are making it about homophobia because there are tons of homophobic comments that have been posted over the Net about how amazing it is to have one less queer on TV, maybe you would know that if you went outside the site.
Not happy with his work? TR is an amazing actor who always always delivered, although delivering when you have two lines per episode is kind of hard.
I don't want either George or Izzie to leave but I love George more than Izzie, especially since she is now with Alex, gross, so I'd rather she left.
TR is a theater actor, maybe he will go back to that? that is what he was doing before. There is not only TV and movies in life.
I think he would do amazing in a sitcom as he is so funny.
I won't be watching Grey without George though.
I agree JC is a great actor but ED, whom I do love, is pretty weak.
I am also pretty sure she was responding to the post saying the show could get rd of George and get a hotter guy instead, which is pretty stupid. I also happen to think TR is very hot.
Marie-Claude Says:
December 9th, 2008 4:57 PM
Ugh no IW please. The guy is a self-centered jerk whom everyone on the show hated.
Are you out of your mind?
TR was my favorite and the Gizzie scenes why I watched so this is bue-bye Grey.

George is hot, sweet and amazing. He is Grey for me, so I won't watch without him.

I agree with ACR13. It seems that they are ungrateful for the show that got them to where they are today. It's sad, I loved George and I think he added to the show, but hey it's his loss.
I only can say NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Pls Why T.R?
In my opinion is one of the best actors, I hope this is not true. In that case, the show won´t never be the same ...
I´m so disapointed with this new, I hope Shonda think about this lost !!!!!!!!!
I want the original cast!!! No more new cast, we need new stories whith our caracters who loved since the first day.
(Sorry for my English, I´m writting from Spain , I´m so angry)
uuughhhh.
pissed off.
god damn it I loved george so much.
I'm not going to quit watching but uughhhh!
I think grey's is going to lose a lot of fans. :(
He is by far the most handsome, most incredible, bravest, sweetest, most REAL person of all the intern characters!!!
& I love them all!!!

SERIOUSTLY?! GEORGE CAN'T LEAVE; THERE'S NO SHOW WITHOUT HIM! I SWEAR, IF HE LEAVES, I'M BOICOTTING THE SHOW! IT WOULD BE LIKE WHAT HAPPEND TO THE O.C WHEN MARISSA DIED - PEOPLE WILL STOP WATCHNG. I know i will!
LB Says:

Good for TR for leaving this sinking ship, he deserves better. I love george and this show just doesn't respect him.
GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE !!! Maybe he should use the time to get acting lessons!!!!
He WON'T be missed!!!! The show is NOT about HIM!!!
Marianne Says:

George can't leave, he just can,t.
Jessica Says:

Maybe you should take time off and learn how not to be an idiot Gloria. TR is an Emmy-nominated actor and probably the most talented actor on the show.
If anyone needs an acting coach, it is Eric Dane.
I am leaving right along with him so I hope you will say good riddance to the show as a lot of people will be quitting with him.
Is this really that big deal? I am sorry, I like George very much, and I have no idea what the character has to do with TR being gay, and his leaving with Washington´s dismissal like two years ago, I just think that if he, TR wants to leave, he is very free to do so... I just think is a bad move, career wise for him, but it´s his life...
making this a gay witch hunt is just paranoid in my opinion, anything related to him is supposed to be because he is gay? GET REAL, PEOPLE, that is just an excuse, a very lame excuse...

The show has sucked since Burke left. With another original cast member leaving it just cements the fact that the show has jumped shark. I'm not even that big a fan of George, but I know what this will mean for the show. Maybe they will make it one more season but thats about it.
On Yahoo it says he wants to leave because he's unhappy about his storyline.
Apparently it has nothing to do with the IW thing, which seemed odd to me because he had put it behind him.
And to be honest, I can see why he's complained about his story line. It SUCKS. They focus on the stupid interns and that whorenut Izzie. If leaving a show filled with interns slicing themselves up and dumb bitches having necrophiliac ghost zombie sex makes him happy and will do better for him, he should.
I just hope and pray to God he'll be alright career-wise after this. And I hope this isn't the last time we'll see him starring on a show.
In response to people saying this show isn't about him, here's another thing: The show isn't about Meredith, either. It's not about Derek, not MerDer, now Owen or Cristina, Izzie, or any of the other characters. It's about the doctors all together and their lives. George is apart of the very original cast. He is in fact the glue to the show. He was one of the original interns.
For me - this will also be the final straw. Is there any way for the viewers to get through to the writers that we want THEM to make HIM happy so that he'll remain on the show?
