Rhimes Speaks Out on Rumors
Monday, February 16th, 2009The plot continues to thicken at Grey’s Anatomy. At the 40th Annual NAACP Image Awards, Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes spoke out about recent rumors that TR Knight and Katherine Heigl are leaving the show, saying “That was a very interesting rumor, and it’s not true.” Shonda also went on to add that she doesn’t like to talk about what is coming up on the show. And when questioned about James Pickens’ statement last week, she said, ““That was absolutely taken out of context. Things happen, and … I think rumors become fact very easily. And you know I don’t like to tell you what’s going to happen on the show — but that is a rumor.”
Hmm… that last quote has me wondering. I don’t know what to believe any more. It seems to me like Rhimes is trying to cover up for Pickens’ huge misstep to Us Weekly. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how it plays out in the coming months. Meanwhile, congratulations to the show for picking up 3 awards and to Chandra Wilson for winning Best Supporting Actress in a Drama.

In last week’s episode, Derek’s mother gave him her engagement ring along with her blessing for him to propose to Meredith. Now longtime fans of Mer and Der were squealing with this new development. But will they really get engaged, much less get married?
