ER and GA have a different focus on it's characters' lives that made it possible for ER actors to exit and not send the show into irreparable damage. In GA case it might not be the same case since the show has a big focus on the character's lives and professional challenges.
ER made a good balance in its character's personal life and professional life. They didn't have a big focus on the personal life during the time they were in the hospital (or so I perceived). Grey's has made it a litte bit more personal that the exit of any character may make the loss more devastating than ER's case.
ER survived ten seasons more after George Clooney's exit but I felt that his storyline had become tiring. They were trying to make George's exit inevitable. Heartbreaking but inevitable nonetheless. Once Mark Greene died, everyone felt the reeling but moved on since it was Carter's moment to shine. They had a good continuity.
KH is no George Clooney but GA has certainly made her storyline similar to his before his exit on ER. They did everything that they could to either wrap up Izzie or let her stay in the back for a really long time. The damage on GA if she dies might be different than Clooney's exit. Or even like Edward's exit.
If the writer's manage to create the coninuity and balance that ER had once Ross' exit, Mark's death, and Carter's leave, GA might live on for a while but if the writer's decide to go with the long mouring period and leave the character's stuck (sorta like in The O.C.), it might not.
I don't think it's fair the comparation of ER and Grey's for it's different focus but GA might want to learn something about continuity like ER did.
Confusing. :S

I think it's funny how the show originated around the FIVE interns and their journey to get ahead in their medical career, and now there may be THREE left. It doesn't sound like the Grey's Anatomy I used to know.

If George leaves, I'm gone. I use to love the whole show, but the last two seasons, I only have loved George.
I'll miss him. I won't miss Grey one bit.

I know this is a show, but I love my Gizzie (both as friends and lovers) and I love love love my George.
I'm so upset over this. I keep crying. George can't die.
Even now, after weeks since it's finale i can't stop thinking about TR and his future on Grey's, all these years I've been learning, taking lessons from him, from Izzie, it's cruel what they've done to them, it will be much crueler to kill them, it will cruel to everybody, except for Shonda and writers, prove us that this is not only business, prove that filming is the same as making art!!! George is like a color from a rainbow, this show without won't be the same, i know for sure that i won't have enough strengths or powers (sorry for my english) to watch it, if TR stop his activity being hit by a bus then I'm done here! To bad because Grey's was a good show , if you want a future tense then change your policy.

I can't stop thinking about George either. I never get that invested in a character, but there's something so special about George.
He's the kind of guy I would love to be. He's the one guy we guys can relate to in this show.
It really annoys me that Shonda always gives crap to the one nice guy on the show.
Also putting another actor would be stupid. TR has become George in every way.
what if he's dead and he haunts like Merdith or someone like that!

I'm obsessed with George too lately. It's all I talk about. It makes my boyfriend crazy. Thankfully I have friends who are as obsessed with George as I am.
I just keep thinking about him on that bed, his face all trashed, hearing those awful things about him by his so-called friends.
Then the 007.
Then him looking so beautiful in the end in his uniform.
I think about how cute he was imitating Bailey, and how funny he was.
I just am not ready to say goodbye, not after getting only bits of him all season.

I do NOT want George to die. He's my all time favorite character on the show. Izzy shouldn't die either, but I think she should if George does, because I've always been a fan of the George/Izzy together forever thing.
Same here. I'd rather Izzie die than George. The only way I would be ok with George dying though would be if he and Izzie died together.
I always thought they were the most magical couple and should be together forever too.
Snhe and Alex don't work for me. Sorry AI fans.

George and Izzie were the greatest couple. They were perfect.
I want George to be happy, so I could accept him with someone else. I just think he and Izzie would have been the best option.
I don't get why Shonda dropped them because of the haters. There are a lot of Gizzie fans too, and we really love them.
Why did she just ignore us like that? She didn't even gave us friendship scenes.
George should have been with Izzie during the cancer story. It makes no sense.
I hate the writers and Shonda for taking even that away from us.

If you take out George and Izzie, i believe most of us will stop watching the show. So, pls for the sake of us, think before you come out with your decision! GEORGE 007 ROCKS! love the character and george will always be the heart and soul of the group!!!

George is my favourite character in Grey's Anatomy and I will miss him horrifically. It leaves a HUGE, gaping, bleeding hole in my heart. It was such a shock BUT as other people have said The only time they showed a flatline was on Izzie Stevens, so I still hope. Anyway, even if he does die, he will always remain alive to me in my heart. I know that sounds childish but its true. I get sooo attached to the shows I watch that sometimes I 4get that they are not real. So I loved the character George like a brother. I agree with cookie though, as my mother told me, in reality Izzie would most likely die. All I'm saying now is that I hope both characters live, and if George doesnt, I want Izzie to die too. Also I want proof that he is dead by T.R or Shonda. I also agree with TDS- the show will be sooooo depressing if either character dies. I wish that if he does go, he can go in a different way- I mean, george doesn't have to die to leave the show.
