Izzie’s Mother Comes to Town
Word is out that veteran television actress Sharon Lawrence will be making an appearance on Grey’s later this season as Izzie’s mother. Lawrence was last seen as Megan’s MIA mother on the CW’s Priveleged. You might recognize Lawrence from her NYPD Blue, Desperate Housewives and a host of other television shows.
As we learned last week, Izzie is suffering from skin cancer that has spread to her brain and liver. It’s widely rumored that actress Katherine Heigl will be making her exit from Grey’s Anatomy this season, hence the visit from Izzie’s mother. If you remember, Izzie comes from a “trailer park” background, so I’ll be interested to see what direction they take the character of her mother.
And I still don’t want Izzie to die. It just seems too morbid for a show that already walks a fine line between morbid and drama. If she has to leave, just send her away for treatment somewhere and let her come back for sweeps next year. Just a thought.
