The ratings are down 5 millions, that is pretty bad, so that means people did quit like they said they would.
Shonda had two good seasons until she lost complete understanding of what made this show work, which was the fab 5 not new characters we couldn't care less about.
George and Izzie are two amazing characters, and it makes me durious that some people are so insensitive to all us fans who are hurting over this.
If this was merDer you guys wouldn't be so glib about it.
I know I won't be watching without them and I know many other people who watch solely for George or Izzie
the ratings arent even that bad this season i mean how can u feel that this season is worse than last season? blah blah blah i know george has no airtime, i know iknow. but still really?!
they are great characters, and have had great storylines through the different seasons, but the show is not only about them, they can create new characters such as good as thems...

So you think they would let TR go? Why? Does he not mean as much as Katie? To me and many, he does. He is why I watch this show, and I know others feel the same way.
George leaves, I do too. And no I am not just saying that.
He is the heart of the show.

i hope you guys know that this isn't shonda's fault. all she does is write the story lines, and it was said that she gives george a story line but "he thinks its stupid and is being a real pain in the @$$ lately, and refuses to act" HE WANTS OFF THE SHOW. and so does Katherine, its not like they are getting fired. they want out of their contract...Isiah got kicked off because he was negative on the set, and had fights with other cast members. Brook got kicked off, clearly not because she was a lesbian, we have TWO lesbos on set now. Shonda isn't to blame for any of this... even when brook was kicked off she said that shonda look upset like her hands were tied. stop blaming her for the actor's drama.

Yes I will leave the show. I don't have the habit o saying things I don't mean. A lot of people hacve left, just look at the ratings.

February 10th, 2009 8:44 PM
oh well i wont be watching the show again....Katherine was the only reason why i keep watching....
I had heard before they we're originaly signed for 6 but some agreed to do more. That is only if the ratings were still high and the storylines were also good. I know the storylines have been up and down but I hate to think next season would be it.

i can see george leaving, but i am almost positive that abc wouldn't be stupid enough to let two main characters exit the show, just to drop the show down the toilet. it won't happen. plus, if they're only staying for six seasons, then why don't they just chill out and wait one more freaking year! we'll just have to see, but i don't think abc would let katherine go.

Ha, I laughed when I heard the writers were trying to find a way to write out George so he could come back... I mean, Denny came back, didn't he? What could they possibly do with T.R.'s character that he couldn't come back from? ;)
And I really do love Grey's now, I just wish it had stayed slightly more loyal to the original cast. For example, Callie came on, had a major storyline with George, and now she gets more screen time than him.
I'll keep watching for MerDer, Cristina, Bailey, and all the other great characters, but I think the show won't be as balanced without George and Izzie. They both worked great with patients and just balanced out the personalities of the more intense surgeons.
I don't understand why there is so much negative publicity surrounding GA these days. Why is everyone thinking the worst about the show, the ratings the characters or about the actors! I think this is such a shame. It really makes me sad! I love Ga and have been a fan since day 1. This show has certainly had its ups and downs as any show would have. We are so lucky to have such a great cast of actors that come together each week and entertain us on Thursdays. The thoughts of any of them leaving is tragic to me. I certainly hope that this news isn't true about anyone leaving. I feel that what makes this show the #1 show that it is is by the help of each one of the cast members. But, if it is true and any of them do decide to leave, I'm sure that the show will go on and I'll be there to watch it. Mer/Der are my favorites but I would hate to see anyone leave. I also thought their contracts were for 7 years. I thought I heard PD and EP say that either in an interview or read in an article somewhere. Maybe each one has a different contract. Like greysaddiction said, lets just wait and see until the actors themselves confirm it or ABC. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't happen! Lets be supportive and hope our show will be around for years to come!
Grey's really will go down the tubes if they let all their core actors (we have watched and grown to love for FIVE seasons people!) leave and bring in all these characters we don't care about and have nothing invested in.
Who the heck runs the show? ABC or Shonda? If Shanda's PMSing and in a tif about what someone said, did, whatever, then I say someone at ABC needs to pull up their pants and tell Shonda to GET OVER IT! She's ticking off the fans and without us, she has no show. I ONLY watch PP b/c its a spin off of Greys. If Grey's looses all their actors and gets canned, you can be certain PP will get canned...then where will Shonda be?
lol i know ER has been on for like 14 seasons lol!

I think that it is sad that George and Izzie want to leave the show. I think we should try to think about this positively. While it is extremely sad to say goodbye to these characters, it might be a good opportunity for new characters to come on the show. I mean for instance, look at Owen Hunt. I think having him on the show has made it soooo much better. I love the chemistry his character brings to the show. If you look at shows like ER, they've been on for like 10 seasons and they have main characters leave all the time and bring in new characters. I think that this will force Grey's to go in a new direction, which could be good. On the other hand, it could ruin it, but I would like to try to stay positive about my favorite TV show. If it's true that they are leaving, I will be sad because I have become used to all the characters on Grey's and love watching their lives unfold, but I will continue to watch it and hope that if they leave, the show will find a way to compensate for the loss.
excellent point meg i completely agree! actors are the only people in the world who are making money.

I thought George and Izzie were loved on this site so those comments surprise me. How are they whiny? Katie has a movie career and has given 5 years to this show. They have treated TR and George like dirt for months and months now.
Why wouldn't they leave?
I would if I had the money they had.
I happen to love George and Izzie, especially George, and just won,t watch without them. It is a shamwe all the haters have come out to play. I don't believe they are the majority.

Then get rid of Lexie, who most people hate, get rid of Callie, Sadie, interns, Mark, Dr Dixon, the chief, not George and Izzie, two of the most popular characters on this show.
gorge has always been my favorite and I just don't want to watch without him.é

i ddint insult him karen?!
February 10th, 2009 8:52 PM
No actually it was said by many including by Aussiello that George was not offered any storyline and any airtime and that is why he is leaving.
The only person who said what you cl;aimed was US mag, which is no better than a gossip rag.
How dare you insult TR without proof? Many of his castmates said the idea of TR being a diva or throwing a tanthrum was totally ridiculous.
Shonda wanted to get rid of the gays and she did.
TR is an amazing personj and it makes me mad that people say such lies about him.
I trust Aussiello and his colleagues a lot more.

u know u wont actually stop watching the show so stop being so drastic jeez.
February 10th, 2009 7:47 PM
TR and Katie are bout two of the nicest most down-to-earth people ever. Stop bashing them from walking away from that disaster of a show.
TR especially has every right. This show doesn't care about him and doesn't care about our beloved George.
I will be leaving with them.
February 10th, 2009 7:39 PM
So what? TR is an actor. He wants to ACT. Money is not everything in the world.
As for Katie, she is a star and doesn,t need this show and the stupid stories they give her.
The real Katie and TR fans wouldn't judge them and will follow them wherever they go.
People quit jobs all the time.
I watch for those two so this show can kiss me goodbye.
February 10th, 2009 7:37 PM
Yes get rid of Lexie and minor characters, not George. George is basically the heart of this show.
Get rid of Lexie and others. How about the Chief? He is such a jerk lately.
TR has all right to be mad. He has 2 lines per episode.
He is such a great character and this show will die without him and Izzie.
