Sad News for Grey’s Anatomy Fans

by

110891_0529Well, as an avid fan of Grey’s Anatomy since day one, I am not surprised that this day has come, but I’m still so sad about it. The rumors are indeed true. TR Knight will not be returning as George O’Malley on Grey’s Anatomy.

We’ve all heard the rumors for most of last season that TR was very unhappy on the show. Insiders whispered that he was disappointed with his lack of screen. We all know about the ridiculousness of the Isaiah Washington incident and things seemed to go south from there. It was rumored that Knight and series creator/writer Shonda Rhimes didn’t get along and that’s why she put his character on the back burner.

As a result, Knight asked to be released from the final three years of his contract. Michael Ausiello at EW revealed today that the deal was finalized in the past day or two and TR has been released from his contract. Ausiello says Knight is mulling a return to Broadway in 2010 in Lend Me A Tenor.

No more George. Knight apparently turned down an offer to appear in 3 episodes next season. Many fans have wondered if the character of George would live on with another actor courtesy of Sloan’s plastic surgery. But Rhimes was quoted as saying that idea is “hilarious and ridiculous.” It looks as though we finally have some closure on this particular rumor mill.

I’m going to sorely miss George.
