To some people Meredith IS annoying. To some people Meredith IS boring. Just like other characters. People like characters they can relate to. Not that many people can relate to Meredith. Not that many can relate to Cristina. Not that many can relate to Izzie, ect., ect. All viewers are strung around with relations.
I've always been able to relate to George somewhat because he used to get himself into awkward situations once upon a time when he had a storyline... He'd speak without thinking occasionally, I tend to do that. We both had stupid mouths you could say.
To some people, Meredith is THE greatest character in history. To me and others, George is the greatest character. To others, Cristina's the greatest. Or Hunt is. Or Burke. It's the person making the calls in personal opinion. Really, it's retarded to fight about Meredith, George, Izzie, ect. about greatness and crap because basically, it's a matter of opinion. In reality? They're all works of art in their own way.

OK so clearly mustery lady you are no mystery, you are a closet homophobe, hence maybe why you don't see the obvious chemistry TR had with Izzie. Gizzie was HOT.
George is NOT gay, never acted gay. God you are so ignorant!

Exactly George and Izzie had amazing chemistry and a lot of fans, but the writers got scared because a bunch of overvocal haters, mostly jealous crazy Alex and izzie fans, spammed and cheated to make it seem like they were massively hated when in fact they had a huge fanbase.
Also many new fans were joining in but then Shonda killed them before they even got a chance, making those new fans jump ship.
Look at Slexiepuke, they get more hate than Gizzie ever did and I believe have a lot les fans but Shonda isn' listening to the haters and is giving them the chance GI never had even though they doN,t have a tenth of the chemistry Gizzie did.
Shonda go so scared of the rabid haters she doesn't even give George and Izzie ANY scene together, scared that their natural chemistry will shine thiough, eclipsing the tepid chemistry between her and Alex.
But then the Slexiepuke fans try to spam everything and we Gizzie fans did not, hence the difference.
So I disagree, I also thought

Well mystery lady, that is your opinion. I along with many others thought George and Izzie had fabulous chemistry. I also thought he had good chemistry with Lexie and those two had a lot rooting for them. I also thought he had good chemistry with Olivia, so in my opinion, he had chemistry with three different women.
The chemistry with Izzie was especially phenomenal. As for him being boring, that is your opinion. I find Derek, Mark, Alex, Lexie, the Chief all boring but I keep this to myself.
Many of us don't find him boring at all.
I know he was the one character I still cared about on this show and I won't be watching without him.

iloveellenpopeo or whatever, she is infact a great actress, however, Merideth is a really annoying whiny character.... izzie and alex have been through way more than she has and she's still whiny and dark and twisty...

George and Callie never had chemistry because they were truly a sucky couple all together. George and Izzie, in my opinion, had great chemistry and could have made a phenominal couple had the writers put some effort into it. George and Meredith would have obviously never worked because it's taking away from the holy, precious MerDer. George and Olivia? HA! I hate that bitch. George and Lexie could have worked, maybe...but I don't really like Lexie.
It's not the actor. It's the writers. Besides, look what was happening in his storylines whenever he was getting paired up with women.
we don't know what happens off the set and why TR had a few screentime. Maybe there are some miscommunications between the actors and the producers of the
show that lead to all of these. You can't blame the writers giving tr no screentime even if George is a great chracter. Blame the writers for crappy storylines that is. Heigl might feel that making movies are a lot better than greys and having some cancer as izzie so you can't
blame the writers as well for writing them out. We want the show to stay butwe
cant stop the actors from leaving even if we really like their characters on the show. On the other hand we can't blame the actors if they decide to leave the show when the show is not making them happy. Or they've chosen a better career path.
I am a GA fan and forever will be. I may not always like each episodes but
I'll still continue to watch it till the end. Izzie or no izzie. George or no George.

I would be sorry to see them go but George's character has been boring since the beginning. The problem is the fact that he has no chemistry with any of the women that they have tried to team him up with. The marriage with Cally was an absolute disaster, they were so stiff that the fans noticed it. Cally had more chemistry with Hahn. George needs to have the plot line that he deserves, that of a gay man struggling with his feeling. Much better.
As for Izzie, she is yet another irritating character. It's always been Meredith and Derrick, Christina and Burke/Hunt, Izzie and a dead guy, Denny/Alex, sorta George, sorta nobody. She is just boring. The denny thing had some wings and then he died and she has no character left.
Beef it up Shonda. Let's get back to what made Grey's great and don't turn it in to yet another tedious late night soap opera.

Francois, out of all the cast members the only big whiner was Katherine Heigl. Ellen and Patrick made comments about their character's decisions towards their relationship, not exactly the entire show.
TR has neer complained and you know what? Good for him. Shows some dignity. I hope he does well but I really hope he reconsiders and just let KH go.
And I don't know if Trey is still reading this but yeah, Maura Tierney was never nominated for an Emmy. She, along with Carter and Susan, was my fav. ER character. Sucks.

Please get them to stay.

My wife and I are devastated. We love those two. Well I love Izzie, and she loves George, LOL, and we love Gizzie. They are so us when we got married 45 years ago.
And when has TR ever complained? All I am hearing are other people talking for him. Has he ever actually complained publically? I know Ellen did and Katherine and Patrick, but has TR? If not, then really you have no business calling him whiny.
If he was whiny, I would fully support him. The way that woman Shonda has treated him the last two eyars is criminal, no doubt about it.
My wife and I will be tuning out when they leave, but then I guess this show doesn't care about old geezers like us, just the little teens.

I must say thank goodness they are finally leaving!!! All they do is complain about being on the show, they don't appreciate what a great career they have on the show. It's like they took it for granted that they would always have a good role and blah, blah, blah. Maybe we can hear about other cast members other than these two from now on. How am I not surprised that they're both leaving at the same time.

izzie is one of the only real characters. christina's a sociopath and mer is just... annoyingly "dark and twisty."
and I love denny. looooooove denny. But bringing him back? not ok. they didn't even write his character correctly. dead denny is selfish, overprotective, and annoying. REAL denny is amazing.
grey's needs to learn how to do an awesome, ratings boosting episode. Like their superbowl episode? amazing. season two finale? amazing!
ferry boat, pp crossovers, dead denny? no, not so much.
everyone should go back and watch season one again to remind themselves of how amazing the show was before it tanks. But I do love the characters, and even when the show sucks, I'll still cry my eyes out when it ends.

Without Katherine Heigl, Grey's Anatomy will be boring. I love her. The only one who thinks it's all about her is Meredith. She always makes things so big. And Christina has no emotiones. Izzy is the best.

Jamie, you are rude and an idiot. Having watched TR in many theather plays before he went on Grey, having watch him on CSI and The last request and even Sesame Street, I know he will not suck. He was amazing in all those roles, especially Mozart. He was Mozart and blew me away.
He is an amazing versatile actor who can do anything he wants, and Shonda is a true idiot for wasting him that way.
George hasn't had anything to do in two eyars. He doesn't deserve that.
The fans love George. We miss him, we have been begging for months and months for her to show more of our beloved wonderful George and now this.
I stuck around when they ended Gizzie when moist Gizzie fans quit because of TR and George. I even rooted for Gexie, and what did I get? What did all the George fans get? Nothing,w e got ignored completely like we didn't matter at all.
Shonda is to blame here, not TR. All he wants to do is be able to act again, and to get some respect. It makes me so amd that some people
