Reports of George O'Malley's demise have circulated since the season finale of Grey's Anatomy May 14, and seemed all but official after a report that circulated last week. However, nothing is official just yet ... we think. This from E!'s spoiler Q&A today ...
Q: What will happen on Grey's Anatomy next season? Are George and Izzie goners?
A: E! Online's Marc Malkin has an inside source who says that T.R. Knight will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy due to issues with executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Sources tell TVGuide.com, "That story is utterly false. Nothing at all has changed in T.R.'s status."
Shonda Rhimes has also gone on record debunking new rumors that an entirely different actor would play George thanks to plastic surgery. However, we all know how Shonda toed the lines of truth last season and stops at nothing to keep the audience guessing.
Guess we'll have to keep on ... guessing.
Original cast member T.R. Knight has been a Grey's Anatomy fixture since George's early, longer-haired days. His future has been the subject of great speculation for months now.

Hahahaha little O'Malley. I'm not believing any of this until I see it myself. I find it hard to believe that he's fighting wth Shonda...

george with a new actor would be total rubbish. it would be better to give him a respectful death or let T.R. himself return to the show.

Look at those pics. That is the good ole George we remember. Don't send him off. Keep him. We love George. We love Izzie too. Let's keep the stars on this show. Please, Life pretty much sucks these days, do what it takes to give us our CAST on this show. For some this show is our only release from this crazy world.

Personally I wish GAInsider would just stop publishing these pointless articles of speculation about George and Izzie. Why don't we just wait and see what happens? I have stated before that I think this is all an elaborate ploy to boost ratings, and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm right. Shonda wants people gossiping so in the long run it attracts more people to the show.

I think it would be just stupid to have another actor play George. :P

My George. He looks so cute. I just want to hug him and protect him for some reason.
He can't die. Not our sweet George. Not sweet George who wouldn't hurt a fly.
How can Shonda do this to us?

Zephyr, I agree... nobody knows the answer yet but Shonda so they should stop making up these stupid stories about Tr/George, we will know what happens after the summer, i have a good feeling about both George and Izzie staying, but who knows really....

I love those pictures they used. I like his hair shorter, but his shaggy haired days was still cute :-P
Yeah, not believing this until I see it or hear it from T.R. himself.

He is so adorable here, but could this site stop printing rumors about TR until we have something official? I love TR so much that I always rush to read those stories hoping to get an official confirmation he is staying only to get disappointed.
It's just too hard for me to take, and I imagine it is for the other George fans too.
