Marie-Eve, that article actually made me feel slightly better...
"A combo platter of budget cuts and creative redirection is being blamed for the firing, but it also bears mentioning that said performer was never going to win any popularity contests with their co-stars."
T.R.'s, for what I've heard, in with the Grey's cast. They love him. He's had freaking house party-things and invited the cast over. They love him. Chyler's talked about how much she loves him. Katherine and him = BFFs. Come on.
I'm really starting to think it's the chief now. He started having a storyline at the end of last season with Adele, remember? Now he's suddenly barely on there anymore. His storyline is suddenly going in the toilet.
Or maybe I'm just making this up in the agony of losing George and Grey's Anatomy. I highly doubt it'd be Patrick, because I think the show would get cancelled without him on there. And he likes his job.
Let's cross our fingers, ladies and gentlemen.

well if it's him KH will come out and defend him or comment on this. we all know how she loves to talk. I doubt the they would fire mcdreamy so i'm ruling him or anyother charater. Joe and Adele are main characters and I doubt they have many lines to be changing them anyways. i'm going with TR, the nice quite ones are always a pain in the ass. as far as the whole iw thing i think tr played the victim card a little to much- that's just my opinion.

Carmen: T.R. only spoke publically two or three times about the incident, other than that he refused to comment about it. He let it go. Isaiah, on the other hand, would not shut up.
LMAO Why do you people love George so much? I need some reasons here. It may not be George, but it's so funny that people are like.. the studio is making it up, TR would never behave that way. Do we know these people personally. I love Sandra Oh, but if she's being snotty then she's being snotty end of story. George is my least favoite character, and I have enjoyed this season so far. But...I don't think they could ditch any of the orginal five interns without losing fan base. It's a massive plot against George.AHHHHHH!

I'm thinking it's George we really haven't seen much of him lately. We haven't seen much of Derrick either but I really don't see him going anywhere, plus he's suppose to have a sort of friendship start between him and Owen. Those are really the only 2 fan favorite characters with less air time lately but I think it's most likely George.

TR only spoke about the IW thing once. How did he play the victim? he hadn't even talked about it at all until IW flat out lied and said he never said the word and Tr had to defend himself. It was the one and only time he tlked about it. He later said he wanted to let it gho and it was in the past so how the hell is that playing victim? IW is the one who won't shut up even now.
last month he said the show was racist and would not give hsi love scenes with Cristina the same importance as MerDer because they were white and he was black and Cristina was asian.
He made fun of PD for beign dyselexic and kept saying he gort fired because people were threatened by a strong black man and wanted black to be eys man.
if anyone played the victim whe n he was the cultorit, it was him.
I am sick and tired of his fans, who are mostly as homophobic as him, blaming Tr for ONE time stating IW was lying, was he suppsoe to let the lie stand?
People are not believing it because Ass is saying the person was not liked by the cast when it is well known TR geta long well with a lot of his cast and even has house parties with them.
He has the reputation of being very nice and humble and the farthest thing from a diva at all and suddenly the show wants to get rid of him and they come up with all thsoe things about him. It looks like they are tarnishing his reputation just so they can fire him and everyone thinks he deserves it.
Whather you like someone or not, you should be outraged that a studio netweork would destroy the reputation of someone so they can fire him and sperad out lies about him that can never be taken back. That is slander.
and why would they fire him for it? patrick Dempsey has a huge reputation of being a diva and disliked by his acstmates and he is not going anywhere, so my guess is homophobia is the erason
As fior george people love him because he is sweet, caring, cute, funny and adorable.
If he elave a lot of people will quit Grey, me first in line
And hey sometimes nice people are just thta: nice people

I know. I can't believe everyone is believing this naty filth about TR. Hello, this is hardly the first time a network would print out nasty FALSE infor about someone to keep their hands clean in their firing. It is already working, all you guys are believing it. They can then fire him and everyone will claim he deserves it even though this might all be a pack of lies about him. Since when do you guys believe so-called inside sources?
Really nice group of fans TR has there, all ready to turn on him like that.
ABC will use that tactic again maybe on other actors on the show you like if it works so well.
I for one love TR and believe in him and if he elaves, I do too.
I wonder if it's KH influence that TR is being such a pain.
I wouldn't be surprise if he's ousted by season 6.

I don,t get this, why are the fans of this show so hateful and so quick to turn on TR when we don't even know if it is't true and we haven,t even heard his side.
I love george and if he leaves, I do too.

But the way people are blasting TR without any proof against him makes me sick.
OMG this board is buzzing I really don't know what is going on with this show I mean I love it and want to see it succeed but my goodness all of this "diva" like behavior and other shananagens that are going on it is just getting out of hand I mean really I hope that these are just rumors and nothing more because honestly it would not be greys without all of the principle characters

You guys are all being so paranoid!!! Do you really think that ABC would risk, well, everything, just to "de-gay" Grey's Anatomy? You really think it means that much to them? The show is oriented towards females. Generally, the sort of women that wuold watch Grey's would have no problem whatsoever with gay people. And I really doubt that they would risk lawsuits, rating drops, and angry fans based on personal preference. ABD airs Ugly Betty, too, which has gay people and a freaking transsexual in it, but you don't see them trying to "de-gay" that, do you? This is ridiculous!! Also, if being a diva was really an issue, do you think Izzie would still be around? Kathryn Heigl is a total diva! But they gave HER a huge storyline that everyone is talking about. And anways, this is a drama to begin with, I really doubt that everyone involved expected this to be all rainbows an butterflies.
And would they have fired IW if they really wanted to "de-gay" the show? Seriously? They could have started something about how, you know, TR provoked IW and called him a n*gger or whatever, and made it out to be all his fault. Everyone seems to think that ABC are crazy manipulators anyways, so why not?
Oh and also, why would they bother with all this winding down slowing, taking the character away bit by bit, when with Hahn the last scene was her just walking towards her car, and then vanishing forever. It doesn't make sense, apparently they don't really care anyways.
Just calm the hell down every one. SERIOUSLY. I doubt there is even going to be anyone fired, the "source" might not even exist. And even if it does, it could just be something to boost the ratings. Even I'll probably try harder to catch all the episodes to see which character is disappearing. Like a trillion people are going to be doing the same.
Maybe the execs caved in and are bringing back Burke and TR isn't very happy about it?

Shelton Says:

Caved in to who. In every place I go to, Burke is not beuing missed at all, Owen has replaced him and TR is way more popular than Burke any day. If those homophobic beep have fired TR, I will never watch again.

I have seen a few people think if George leaves it will get airtime to merDer but George hasn't been taking any airtime from them, he has no airtime. If you want MerDer to have airtime, you should wish Lexie was off the show, she is eating up all the airtime and is on every scene. She is the new Meredith of the show and they are propping Slexiepuke as the next MerDer.
George was why i watch so this is goodbye for me.
