Okay, if you are Shonda Rhimes odds are that you are hoping the answer is both. Grey's Anatomy founders T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl have both made a tremendous amount of grief for their meal-ticket. Heigl was famously critical of the writing for the hit show, and Knight has seethed over his character's direction for some time. Now word has come out that relations between one of them and showrunner Rhimes have deteriorated to the point of a complete professional breakdown. Forget being written off, this actor won't be there when Grey's Anatomy resumes filming this summer. Click forward to find out who it is.
According to E!Online's Mac Malkin, T.R. Knight's request to be let go has been honored. Apparently Knight was upset by his character's lack of screentime and storylines. Similar rumors bubbled up during Grey's second season when it was rumored that Knight was looking to be taken seriously as a romantic lead. After a pretty ineffectual pairing with - coincidentally - Heigl's Izzie, Knight's George became a bit of a wall-flower. Wall-flowers have bills to pay, though, right?
For her part, Heigl had withdrawn herself from Emmy consideration publically - before she was even nominated - citing the quality of Grey's Anatomy's writing, or lack thereof. A season later her character has cancer, and the cliff hanger season finale of Grey's Anatomy left her survival up in the air. She is either saved, or dead. Malkin reports Heigl is still waiting to hear her fate, but it is interesting to note that Heigl will submit herself for Emmy consideration. Heigl was recently dumped from the big screen pic Valentine's Day for her salary demands.
Stay George! This show will not be worth watching without you! George is a sweet, caring, good friend, until you get him riled! This wallflower has the ability to tear the walls down when he needs to. The great thing about George is that, he doesn't have to! Please stay George, I love you!!!

Izzie and George are the two best characters on the show. If they both leave I'll probably stop watching.

SPOILER-
IMHO- Izzie has been annoying for a while and she is free to go. George on the other hand continued to win my heart in the finale with his desire to go overseas and it'll be a real shame if he can't fulfill that goal. They really shouldn't have killed him off, they could have simply sent him to war- wasn't that enough?

I love George, but Izzy is the reason I watch the show. As long as Izzy stays, I can live with George leaving – especially since it seems that the actor is ready to move on with his life and it is his decision.

i liked george!!! and let's be honest, what is he going to do after grey's? i mean i dont see him making movies….i personally don't think he should've been complaining. his friend katherine heigl probably helped stir up his feelings, even though i do like her character. she could probably leave the show and be fine….but why not just wait til the contract runs out on greys? no harm in making some nice steady money until the seventh season…plus i like her character! who's bubbly will balance christina and meredith's stupid angst?

Well I thought that the desicion to let them two go was already made but I guess not. I think it would be a devastation to the show to let Izzie go because hasn't her new husband gone through enough already?? George might have been relevent in the pasy seasons but he is no longer relevant, he's dismissed. Grey's Anatomy has been a real big drama behind the scenes, I can't wait for the True E Hollywood Story!!

Katherine heigl just thinks she's better than no ones else now she's found fame, and its a bit sad that she's demanding bigger roles and more money. she has o remember that the show is called greys anatomy not Stevens anatomy, so she can expect the whole world to revolve around her. so i don't care if she dies, but it will be a big shame if George dies.
