I'm becoming a bigger fan of Katherine Heigl. I just love that she speaks her mind. It does come over a bit rude and sometimes offending, but in my point of view she's right. I am a big fan of Grey's Anatomy, but I'm a little dissapointed in the way the story developed. According to me she's right not to put her name forward for the Emmy's.

I love Izzie in grey's, so it would be a pity if she would leave. Cuz Isaiah already left, and if she would leave too, there would be already 2 great characters gone.
I can understand that the more money all those hollywood people make, the more they want.
But Heigl must keep in mind that it is because of grey's she became this famous. It's not appropriate to say such things like she did now with the emmy awards. Come on, all those people made her famous and now she would just take advantage of it and leave behind what made her a star??
Come on Heigl, think kwice and don't disappoint the fans!!

You do have a point 'Devil's Advocate', a fitting screenname by the way, she could be doing it because she feels, that there are other actresses on Grey's Anatomy better suited and deserving of an Emmy nomination, but she still should have been more diplomatic about it thus not critizising the show which feeds her on a monthly basis and has basicaly catapulted her into stardom, and she certainly should have steped up and spoken about her reasoning a little more clearly now that she so obviousaly has been getting a unfortunate backlash! Yet of all the times she should be talking, she choses to remain silent, which is a real bad carrer move!
June 20th, 2008 10:27 AM
I'm going to look at it from Heigl's point of view because it's obvious tons of people are so against her without trying to see if there's another angle that we as the OUTSIDE world can't see. Reading this article, even the writer doesn't know why she would so stop speculating and nagging because over half of you all complaining haven't a clue either, so it's useless. I think there's nothing wrong with her removing her name if she wants to. It is her choice, they're given the choice to submit it in the first place. It's not showing arrogance or ungratefulness at all. She probably realizes that there are other actors who deserve the award more than she does, especially since she's been in the movies lately. It's not a move of pity but a move of stepping back and not being in the limelight...yet she is because people think she's ungrateful? Hardly. I think it's a misunderstanding and she's not taking the chance to clear it up, because everyone now has their extreme negative opinion about
June 19th, 2008 4:02 PM
i don't really care about her anymore, i used to like her a lot but now after wat she did- meh.
im not gonna watch her movies or wateva, she should either apologise, or leave. if she thinks she's so good, then go.
June 19th, 2008 3:54 PM
this show would suck without her!!!!
i love KH
June 19th, 2008 2:54 PM
What the h... is she thinking!
I mean I like her work and the character of Izzie, but for God sake shut your mouth woman, or you'll loose your 200.000 follars per episode, or how much she is payed for playing on Grey's Anatomy!
I mean you don't bite the hand that feeds you, everybody knows that! Everybody with a half a brain, that is!!!
Another things, ist simply bad form an manners to critizise the show which catapulted you into stardom! Us she nutz, on pills or what?
As much as I would hate Izzie nót being a part of grey's Anatomy, I still almost want Katherine Heigl to be doing this on purpose so as to be let out of her contract, cos at least then her dumb, dumb action of taking hersould out of the Emmy nominations and critizising the show would make some sense! But as it is, what the h... are you thinking Heigl?
June 19th, 2008 12:44 PM
The writers gave her the George story line so she would have something to do, but I am so glad it's over. Supposedly, in real time, these people have known eachother about 18 months. in that time, Izzy had a boyfriend (the hockey play, season 1), dumped him, moved on to dating Justin Chambers character. Dumped him (he cheated) , got back together with him, dumped him for Denny, who she was going to marry. He died, and then she fell for George, AFTER he married someone else. Bad story line all the way around, but she is such a one-note actress that it's about all she can handle.
June 19th, 2008 11:03 AM
Or instead of making a public apolgy to writers and Shonda, she should/could learn from this. But she should have just said taht she was withdrawing from the competition and left it at that.
June 19th, 2008 10:55 AM
Everybody has already said this but I am going to say it again, I think that she is just ungreatful. Does she realize how lucky she is to be getting paid very well to do something that she really enjoys? Does she realize how many people are getting paid very well for jobs that they hate? Or are getting paid not nearly enough to do the things that they love but they're doing it anyway cause it's something that they've always wanted to do and because of the small rewards that come with it?
I don't think she should leave Grey's but I think she should make a public appolgy to the writers and Shonda Rhimes. Her comment seemed to very inappropriate considering that the writters strike just ended not to long ago. I understand her being unfilter and not thinking before she speaks(I do that often) but I think that maybe after all this, and if she still wants to stay empolyed she should just think before she speaks and becareful of the things she says and does.
Oh and if Patrick can do mov

Why are there so many comments so critical of Katherine Heigl speaking her mind? It is a fact that Grey's Anatomy has been brought to the ground this last season. And I say this with dissapointment because I love the show. But I think that it was too much to expect between the additional cast and the spinoff of Private Practice to keep GA fresh and interesting, as opposed to annoying and cliched. Heigl owes nothing to Grey's Anatomy. She's worked hard on the role of Izzie and now her character is a joke. Who wouldn't be upset?
June 19th, 2008 3:16 AM
I'm still pretty undecided when it comes to Heigl. Maybe 'on the fence' would be a better term.
June 19th, 2008 2:53 AM
The only time I was remotely interested in Izzie was when she was with George. It was and still is the most beautiful love story ever told. I hang on with the hope Shonda will put them together where they belong. Other than that, Izzie is lost with George, stumbling and putting her with Alex the abuser would be the worst character assassination ever. She would be dead to me if that happened and could leave.
June 19th, 2008 2:51 AM
I have no doubt George and Izzie were written as a love story. Shonda and the writers said so many many times in season 3 and said it had nothing to do with Denny. She changed her mind because some fans didn't like it, which is ridiculous as Gizzie has a HUGE fanbase that love them and have stood through them with everything even the recent farce and bs about no chemistry.
I have been on many sites and the Gizzie fans are still as active and passionate as ever.
Shonda is a coward that let the haters and critics get to her, but to me there is no doubt Gizzie loved each other.
There is no faking the way they looked at each other.

Hey, can someon answer me this question honestly? Let's say, Eric Dane, {and I am not bashing him, I absolutley love him on the show}, made the same comment as Katherine Heigel, about withdrawing his name for the Emmys. Do you think he would get the same public flogging has Katherine? Think about it. Does he really truley have a very dramatic role for a drama? He play's a sleazy character and is often very funny and Eric does a wonderful job playing the character. I wouldn't call his performance this season Emmy-worthy. I would for Justin Chambers performance in the season 4 finale. Eric was not given the materials that Justin was to have that "moment" in the show. Same thing with Katherine this season. She was religated to saving a freaking deer. Where as Chandra did a beautiful job during the storyline about her marriage crumbling. That is what Katherine means about not getting the material for an Emmy worthy performance. She NEVER SAID THE WRITERS SUCKED! SHE NEVER BASHED THEM! They
June 18th, 2008 10:49 PM
Again i agree with ya'll on some parts....it wouldnt be the same without the oringal interns....BUT SHE SHOULD OF KEPT HER MOUTH SHUT!.......(SERIOUSLY!!!!-Quote Izzie Stevens) listen to your own script lol
June 18th, 2008 10:27 PM
i like act..please don't make this decision...i love your acting....
June 18th, 2008 9:28 PM
I think the show could survive without her. The character of Lexie could easily fill the void left by Izzie.
June 18th, 2008 8:53 PM
Another thing that annoys me, everyone comparing her situation with Isaiah Washington's, and that she should keep her mouth shut. This is apples and oranges. Isaiah called someone a derogatory word, and then later lied about it. Katherine simply said that the role she was playing this season was not Emmy worthy because the writers simply did not give her a great storyline. It is an insult to compair the two.
June 18th, 2008 8:46 PM
At first I thought she was being tactless with her comments about withdrawing from Emmy consideration. Now seeing this thing drag on the way it is by this website and news outlets, I now believe this is being blown out of proportion. She never said the writers sucked. She simply said she was not given enough material for an Emmy worthy performance. Thats not saying the writers are terrible. They just didn't give her great story lines, which after watching this season, is true. I'm tired of hearing the bullshit that "any good actress can make it Emmy worthy, despite what the story is". I don't think Meryl Streep could give an Emmy-worthy performance saving a fucking deer in the back of a truck. I think her intentions were good, yeah should could've said she wasn't submitting her name for personal reasons and leave it at that. However this public flogging of her is too much. What I don't understand, she won an Emmy for the show, at the highest catagory so far that this show has earned, a
June 18th, 2008 6:09 PM
I'm with you gin810 - I will not miss her if she goes. I think it is pretty obvious she wants to be and may see herself as a movie star... Maybe she is trying to set things up to get herself written off as a way to be able to focus on her movie career. She is a good actress and true there were not may Izzie central storylines this season. Thus is the life of an actor/actress in a large ensemble cast series. Suck it up and deal Katherine. Be glad you have a steady job in Hollywood. If you want to go be a movie star the put on your big girl panties and ask to be written off.
June 18th, 2008 6:03 PM
okei, the show would not be greys anatomy without Meredith, Izzie, Cristina, George, Derek and Alex, so she can really not go, i LOOOOVE the shows, and i Love meredith, i like Izzie but she is not my favorate, but really, it would not be the same.. and i'm sure she is not thinking about to make more monney in movies, maybe she just likes it more wants to try something else.. but SHE CAN NOT GO, and she is a bit unreasonable.. soooo i hate to she her go, an yeah, the show would not be the show without the INTERNS!! :)
June 18th, 2008 5:57 PM
I loved Izzie in the show. She was actually my favorite character, but we all have to admit that though she may have been rude to publicly diss GA's writing staff, what she said was actually true. GA's plot lines have been more and more frustrating every episode last season, except for the finale, perhaps. If it was frustrating for us, I imagine that it is doubly so for an energetic and eager-to-achieve actress like Heigl.
But I do agree with everyone else that the right thing to do would have been to say she was withdrawing from the competition and left it at that.
June 18th, 2008 5:06 PM
I think Katherine needs to stay on the show, not because the show would be nothing without her or really needs her, but to stick it to her. Without the show, she would have no film career. She seems to be ungrateful. Letting her go would only mean she got her way. She can "suffer" two more years on one of the best shows on television today.
She is also hypocritical. During the Isaiah scandal, she said that he should not have said anything to the press because it would reflect poorly not only on him but on the show. What she did is no different. She appears to have lost her class.
