Everyone of the actors on this show are contracted for 7 yrs. Soooo that means the show won't be over for 2 more yrs. And then again they might renew there contracts and it last for 10 yrs. Well all the actors except for Izzy. I think she will probably die at the end of this season. All of you act like someone has done something to her, and that is why she is leaving. She is wanting out of her contract so she can go on and make movies. I don't think that all the bitching and complaining you all are doing is going to make much differance. She is leaving!!!!! When a person don't appreciate what they have, they should leave. And I'm sure the show will survive just fine without her.
To the best of our knowledge, all recent intel given is that Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are not leaving. Shonda said so herself:
Shonda Rhimes Denies Heigl, Knight Leaving Grey's Anatomy
AND
Patrick Dempsey said that he knows NOTHING of them leaving:

We will have our Izzie and our George for many more epis to come!
:)
I think this scene looks SO powerful!!! Izzie very deliberately chose Christina. Christina is strong. She is not as overtly emotional. I think Izzie knows that she is going to just crack when those who love her and will be emotional about it do find out. But she may not have anticipated the fact that she is about to crack w/o the support of those people.
So, here's a fun question:
Who do you think will find out next? And how will they find out?
I think George will find out b/c Cristina will be too afraid of Alex's reaction to tell him and she knows that George has a lot of pull with Izzie. So I think Cristina will tell George.
that's my theory-- but there could be many others (Lexie or other interns could tell someone, Cristina could tell Mer or go straight to Der....
Oh, and does anyone else think the interns are numb for not having figured out that Izzie is patient X???
The interns are already numb per se. Besides, it's not rare that Izzie gets all emotional over patients so it may have been usual for the interns to see her overreact.
Everyone is going to find out at some time. I do believe that Alex and George are going to be among the last ones because of Izzie not wanting to worry them.
I'm not really sure how Derek fits into the picture since the cancer is already spread to some other parts. Unless the Shepherd Method is involved, I don't know how he could cure her. By now, it's more of an oncologist work than a surgeon.
Sandra Oh is never given enough credit for her role as Cristina Yang. We focus on Heigel, Pompeo, and Dempsey, but fail to recognize Oh's contributions as significant. The best three actors on the show--and possibly all of television--are: Sandra Oh (Cristina), Sara Ramirez (Callie), and Chandra Wilson (Bailey).
anuflas-- I think you are right and not-so-right about it being an oncologist's work for Izzie's treatment now. An oncologist should be overseeing her care and come up with the treatment plan. (S)He's gonna be her primary care doc, in a sense, and come up with the best plan and oversee all the parts. But, more than likely, multiple surgeons will be needed. The mole was already removed. So, now we have a lesion on the liver-- probably will need to be surgically removed. The lesion in the brain will need to be removed, or maybe if it is inoperable, the Shephard method might come into play. Cancer is battled best if you can remove malignant lesions and then use chemo and/or radiation to battle what's left that might have been undetected by the surgeon and/or what is in the lymphatic system already. Having had a family member who had this exact same disease (but when diagnosed, none was in the brain yet), surgical removal of lesions and impacted lymph nodes was step #1 in his treatment. But yes, all was directed by and overseen by an oncologist.
My ? about why the interns hadn't figured out that she was Pt. X was more b/c they know that they had been doing all those "practice" tests on Izzie-- it's more about that then how emotional she is. I'm wondering when they'll put 2 and 2 together.
McSmarty-- Sandra Oh truly is a very talented and remarkable actress. I'm still holding my breath on this storyline with Hunt (I am enjoying it, but still hoping and praying that Shonda & Co. do it justice) and I guess the reason I don't comment that much about her is not that I'm not blown away by her talent, but that I don't relate to Cristina's character quite as much as George, Izzie, Mer or Der.... but she is one of my favorites-- the originals interns on the show + Der & Bailey are my faves.

We all know already that Izzie is going to die, since it has been confirmed that Katherine Heigl is leaving the cast of Grey's Anatomy. That's Katherine's way out of the plot. Her leaving had been announced even before the cancer drama unfolded with her character. Its quite annoying going through the Izzie's drama knowing before hand that she's going to die. Bad mixing of real news and the show's plot/magic.

It has never been announced that Katherine Heigl is leaving the show. There was plenty of rumors, but no official announcement.

March 16th, 2009 10:32 PM
I don´t know about everybody, but Cristina Yang is my second best character in the show. The first is obviously Meredith.
I don´t want Izzie to die, but according to the gossip, she is the one who wants out, so blame it on her...
Why would George die? Of boredom?
Am I the only one who just loved Bailey´s new hair style? She looked gorgeous
Hopefully Izzie won´t become the new Denny, if she dies, then keep her dead!
March 16th, 2009 11:57 PM
die_lexie_grey: I LOVE Bailey's new hairstyle. It's so cute on her!
March 17th, 2009 7:59 AM
die_lexie_grey-- I don't think Izzie's going to die-- I really don't!!!
I too, love Bailey's new hairstyle!!!
March 17th, 2009 11:25 AM
That is what Aussiello said, that Shonda had decided to kill George instead of Izzie.
That better not be true after what Shonda put the George fans though this season.
I would never forgive her. I love George.
March 17th, 2009 12:31 PM
I really don´t want Izzie to die...
Maybe Shonda is confused, then... if she wanted to kill george, then he should be the one with the cancer...
And people, don´t overreact, I don´t want George to die either...
nobody should die (from the cast)
March 17th, 2009 12:55 PM
George isn't going to die. Nobody's leaving the show. People, stop freaking out. I trust Patrick Dempsey more Michael Aussiello.
March 17th, 2009 2:20 PM
I hope Aussiello is wrong.
It is about time George gets some happiness.
March 17th, 2009 8:03 PM
Amen to that, Nicolas!
