This made me laugh. First of all, Shonda said that she will not replace George. That's been confirmed in case some have fogotten like those of you who believe all of this crap always do.
Second, if they WERE to replace George with Dominic, that'd be the worst replacement ever. I'm not slamming the actor, I'm slamming the casting appearence. Even though George's face is swollen up and all that, he'd still have some of his old features and there's still the possibility of it looking close to normal. As long as you're in the Grey's world, anyway.
I think it would be a mistake to cast him on the already overcrowded Grey's Anatomy. Shonda just got over the Intern Fight Club, let's not encourage her to shove another regular in our faces that hasn't been there since the start.
And also, I think T.R./George deserves the storylines and airtime. T.R.'s talent has been wasted all season while Lexie and the Twenty Stooges were playing "Operation" on each other.

Shonda already dismissed the rumors of TR Knight being replaced on her Twitter, I saw it myself.
And, every time I see him, I just think "Hobbit"

No! There will be no "new" George! That's just ridiculous! T.R. Knight is the only George.

Okay, calm down people. I think that Dominic WONT be replacing T.R. as O'Malley if he does join Grey's because that will be just plain stupid. I see him as a new character that will slowly put George out of the picture. T.R. did express how he felt on what's happening to his character and we DO know he's not happy about it so I wont be surprise he will be leaving in the near future. I'd say 'AYE' is Dominic do join the show. He is huge talent and he can bring a lot to the show. ANYWAY this is just a humor anyway. So let not get to hasty and wait. Grey's is always worth the wait anyway.
NOOO! I am completely against the whole having a new actor play George idea! He has to be coming on as a new character, if he's going to be on Grey's at all...

I seriously doubt it's Grey's he's joining. ABC wants to keep it a secret, but my guess it's for one of the new shows, not Grey's and def. not as a replacement character. Save that kind of thing for daytime dramas.

When did TR ever express how he felt? Links please. TR has been classy and has not said one word about the show or anything.
I want links right now with TR talking.
They better not even replace TR. He is George.
And no new character is ever going to make me forget George.
George is Grey for me, and if he and TR leave, I'm gone.
I love this actor, but I don't want him on Grey, especially not as George.
TR is the only George the fans will ever love.
I won't even accept him as a new character.
We have way too much already. I want them to give TR a great big story. We want George to have a story and to have the airtime. We love George, not this new strange character.
Focus on him instead of those hundred characters we don't care about.
And TR has never said he was unhappy. Like Shonda said, TR hasn't said a word at all. People should stop believing nasty rumors.
I watch for George, so if he leaves, I'll stop watching and so will many people.
Dee Says:
June 8th, 2009 3:41 PM
Do you hate us TR fans or what? Why are you always trying to upset us?
TR is George.
He wants to leave because he hasn't had anything to do all season and now they want to replace him and give this new actor all the airtime TR deserves?
If this happens, I'll never watch again.
I want TR to play George, and I want his talent to be respected.
I thought you guys loved TR as much as we did, so why are you acting like anyone could just play George?
That's super insulting to TR, who is an amazingly talented person.
I am mad as hell right now.
George is my favorite character and TR is my favorite actor.
I am tired of this show sh*tting all over me and ignoring my wishes.
Why speculate when nobody knows for sure. The writers are just now starting on next season and if DM is slated for Grey's then I'm sure it will be fantastic...if not, any ABC show would be lucky to have him. My question would be: How will that work with him and his girlfriend back on the Big Island...a long distance relationship for a while? Lost is over in 2011 anyway I guess. Good Luck Dominic wherever you land...I'll be watching :)
Josefine Says:
June 8th, 2009 4:06 PM
It would be fun if he'll be on the show, as a new character :) But I don't think it would be a good idea if he took over T.R's role...
AWWW HELL NAW!!!!!!!!!
HE BETTER NOT BE REPLACING GEORGE!!!!
There is only one George, and that is T.R Knight.
Denis Says:
June 8th, 2009 4:26 PM
Hell no. TR is George.
I agree with the others. They should stop adding new characters and focus on the ones they have, especially George. TR is due for a storyline. Let him have it. It would make him and us fans happy.

TR Knight is the only person who can play George O'Malley. I don't mind him as a cast member, he just better not play George!
Hannah Says:
June 8th, 2009 5:42 PM
TR is the one and only George. He's the reason I'm totally in love with George. It's his acting, his lovability, his charisma and his heart that makes George so irresistible to me.
I'm insulted they would ever think of replacing him.
All TR wants is a story. If they give it to him, he will stay. That way we can have the real George on our screen, and TR can get a story worthy of his talent.
This is the perfect opportunity to write for George. A recovery story would be the perfect opportunity for TR to show off his talent.
François Says:
June 8th, 2009 5:54 PM
TR is absolutely perfect as George. No other actor could play George better.
I also think it would be a terrible mistake to kill George when he has so much left to offer.
I hope Shonda makes TR an offer he can't refuse. I think a really good storyline would work.
It would make everyone happy.
amber Says:

I noticed that their is nothing about Katherine higel leaving the show or Izzie Getting off so that must mean that Izzie is staying and George is going cause i have read is that T.R. Knight is leaving the show but nothing about Izzie
H Says:
June 8th, 2009 6:41 PM
I know, why are all the rumors about George all the time?
To be honest, I love both George and Izzie. Gizzie is my favorite couple, but since I hate Alex and Izzie and think Izzie has had way too much airtime this season, I'd much rather she die than George.
I adore George. When I watch, he is always the ones I look for and wehn he gets a scene, they are always the ones that stay with me when the show is over.
If George is recasted, it would be like he died, because it wouldn't be the real George.
I want George to live and I want TR to play him.
I don't know why Shonda is being so difficult about this.
She said she would do what we wanted. Well we want George to live and we want TR to play him.
She should get whatever issues she has with him, grow the heck up and give us our George back.
If she doesn't, I won't be watching Grey anymore.
Lucie Says:
June 8th, 2009 6:45 PM
I guess TR is leaving for sure, so it is goodbye for me.
Shonda must be pissing in her pants. She did all this so people would wonder who is going to live or die all season, and now everyone knows George will die and Izzie will live.
The woman can't even keep a cliffhanger under wraps.
It,s good that I know though so now I can tune out of Grey right now and not even watch the season premiere.
I'll be so glad if the ratings crash after what Shonda did to Gizzie and to my George.
Bye-bye Grey.
MS Says:
June 8th, 2009 6:46 PM
If TR leaves, I'm finding a new show to watch.
I won't watch this new guy as new George or anyone else.
Rumor has it that he's actually joining Flash Forward and not Grey's. However, I'd LOVE to see him in Grey's but definitely as a new character. I tried to watch Lost (since the pilot) but never managed to understand anything. Still, I enjoyed him on Chuck. I like him.
I honestly think that TR being replaced was never really an option to Shonda since the beginning and a fan's comment went a long mile to this. I wouldn't worry much in that case. It is very well known that no fan (or critic for that matter) would be ok with this option so I seriously doubt that Shonda (no matter if she hates him or not) would do this and commit show suicide.
@amber, KH already made comments implying she's staying on the show (notice that I said implied). So that's that. I honestly rather have George living because I want to see his recovery as a storyline. I'd love that.
PS. The GA and PP writers went back to work today. :)

I just want to see the list of confirmed regulars for next season. As the writers go back to work on it tomorrow I hope we get that list soon. I know it will get me all sorts of hell, but I won't be upset if TRK and KH were not on the roster. I do hope that Jessica Capshaw is back permanently though. She has been a breath of fresh air this season.
mynameised Says:
June 8th, 2009 8:11 PM
if TR is gone, then TR is gone. For everyone from an original cast with one as large as Grey's to be able to stay on a show for its entirety is just not always doable. George O'Malley was a great character, but if its his time to go its his time to go. Same for Katherine Heigl's character. I'm not knocking them sticking around, but seriously if there is no more character development to give, then what's the point?
And I somehow doubt Monoghan will be joining the Grey's cast. although him as the new head of cardiothorasics would be funny as hell. Just imagine the fights Christina Yang and the Hobbit will get into! HA!
