Is TR Knight Staying on Grey’s?
Now this is certainly interesting news. Before the holidays it was widely reported that TR Knight had asked to be let out of the remainder of his seven year contract with Grey’s Anatomy. Sources close to TR said he was unhappy with his lackluster storyline and lack of screen time. Producers were set to grant TR his wish and let him out of the contract and off the show, but now rumors are swirling that he may not be going anywhere. Kristin at E! is reporting that TR might be staying with the show. Her sources claim that producers are working hard to get him to stay on the show.
I don’t know what to think about this. It seems to me like the producers might be trying to stave off another PR nightmare after the Brooke Smith firing. George is a favorite character on the show and we all know that TR Knight has outstanding potential when given the material. (Remember his father’s surgery and death? And helping deliver Bailey’s son Tucker? TR was great in those stories). I hope he stays and I hope the show can give him a meatier storyline going forward.
