I didn't forget....I love George. I love TR. I was more upset about George than Izzie. I will miss TR on the show, and I hope he soars with every endeavor he pursues. Good bye George, you will be missed.
So, with TR leaving the show, is there a possibility for a return of Dr. Preston Burke? Burke's position has yet to be filled and what a scenario for Christina and Owen? On, the show Preston and George were good buddies, will he be attending the service for George? Most of liked Burke, it is just a thought!

"I do admire his 'courage' for telling his side."
I do hope this is the end of the drama of the drama and the talent can get back to story telling without all the drama...

Eva if you're shallow, so am I. He looks delicious.
Dani Says: July 23rd, 2009 8:51 PM
Go TR!
I love him for this. It's so devastating to lose our George. I'm still upset about that.
Eva Says: July 23rd, 2009 7:35 PM
I'm so sad he's leaving. I'm so sad he was unhappy like this. I love TR, and I can't stand the thought og him being unhappy.
I do admire his courage for telling his side. TR's always been a fighter and always been so brave.
This makes me admire him even more if that's possible.
God, he loooks good. I'm sorry, totally shallow and all, but he does.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this perspective of TR. The guy certainly is taking accountability for his decisions and has his convictions in them being correct.
I'm saddened to see him leave and despite his less that visible appearance [compared to other seasons] in season 5, I'm even more saddened that he didn't seek out to clarify what he calls the "breakdown in communication."
I think, more than anything, that there was no direct blame on how TR departed the series. TR made some choices and so did Shonda.
I'm reminded a little of what Yang said to George during the fallout of the O'Malley/Grey one night stand: "If you want crap to stop happening to you, stop accepting crap and demand something more."
As I can empathize with the situation of walking away, a part of me wonders if TR just chose to accept defeat rather than fight until the very end. I think if TR had taken that route, and I believe he would have presented himself in a more classy-way (i.e. opposite of KH), I think both TR and George would still be around.
I was so shocked last show. Disapointed they couldn't work through the hard feelings. George could have made several great shows on how someone comes back from the "almost dead",to a great Doctor. Lots of air time minutes I loved his character. It take real guts to make a career move like he did. I wish him luck with future. Hope to see him on screen, he can hold his own! Barbara

Rilla Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:39 PM
I really hope there's not a fight again.
I hope everyone can agree to disagree without fighting.
I love TR. I'll miss him so much. I already am.
I really wish he hadn't died.
I wanted George to do so much more than he has. I feel the character was robbed many times.
I'll miss him.
It's so sad to think we will never see George's funny jokes and his cute smile and that he and Izzie will never light up my screen again.
Karson Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:34 PM
Can I just say how yummy TR is here? I'm buying that magazine as soon as it comes out.
I think TR has a great future ahead. He's so talented.
sarah Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:34 PM
For me, nothing that he said is a surprise. He was right to be angry with Shonda, after season 3 finale and departured Isaiah, George star to lost storylines. In season 4 we are expecting a relation with Izzie and Shonda vanished in a minute. After this, his character lost mean in. And finally, in season 5, he disappeared. So, we are not wrong when we said that Shonda was mad for the situation with Isiah. I very sorry for the show and all the actors but Shonda doesn´t respect not only the actors, but more, more important: THE FANS. We want consistency in the history, and from season 4 we don´t have it. She destroy a beatiful relation between Izzie and George, and she destroy George, I will never, never forgiven for this. I hate producers don´t respect the fans, and character this way, she had all season 5 for give us a dignified exit to George and she didn´t do it. She have an entire season for give a big storyline for George and make stay, and she didn´t do it. She was glad he left. I´m a little, a little angry with Knight for not trying at least one more time fix the situation, at least for the fans, but I can´t blame him for doing. Ang I´m glad that Katherine tried to convinced him, is very sad that she not had luck. I´m sorry for the show, because despite George was my favourite character, I love the rest of the cast, but I don´t know if I will continuing to seeing Grey´s Anatomy only for Shonda.
Julie Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:33 PM
I hope it won't turn into a war zone either, but I am on TR's side.
I hated that George vanished the whole season.
I missed him.
I just hope TR is happy now and has a lot of projects coming up.
I want him on my screen.
drcookchick Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:20 PM
I meant "projects" instead of "products", haha. My mind wanders too far while I'm trying to write something so people can comprehend it...sorry.
I, too, am frustrated with Shonda, but I really think people need to watch what they put in their comments so this won't turn into a war zone.
GG Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:11 PM
Why do you think that dude? Isiah hasn't found a thing because he's a violent homophobic jerk. TR is loved and respected and talented.
There's no comparison.
I think it's very insulting you think TR doesn't have the talent to succeed without this show.
He's one amazingly talented person.
So Shonda has lied to TR in the past? No wonder he didn,t go to her. It seems the fans are not the only ones she lies to.
Good for TR.
If he fails, then it can't be worse than being stuck on a show with a boss who treats you like crap and wants you to hide who you are.
No money or success is worth the awful treatment she gave him.
I'm glad TR came out. I just knew it was Shonda's fault.
Gail Says: July 23rd, 2009 2:08 PM
He said Shonda lied to him before, again and again. Why would he go to someone who lied to him? I didn't read they put up a fight. If they had, they would have promised him a story, and he would have stayed.
I'm glad to hear how badly Shonda has treated him. I always knew she was to blame, and now TR has confirmed this.
I'm glad for him having a good job is more important than making money.
I can't believe Shonda wanted him to stay in the closet. I thought I couldn't hate her more.
dude Says: July 23rd, 2009 1:22 PM
I wish him the best of luck.
Unfortunately, to be perfectly honest, I think he'll end up just like Isaiah Washington. He leaves the show and we never hear of him again. Sorry, man.
drcookchick Says: July 23rd, 2009 1:12 PM
To be honest, I admire him for this. They forgot to put in the quote about how he wants to be happy with his job and couldn't care less about the amount of money he's making. Also, he makes a very valid point about not being able to trust Shonda's word. I recall many quotes from Shonda that were to promise the viewers something and the polar opposite happened.
He's not being ungrateful, and he's not bad mouthing anyone. This was the right decision, IMO. He needs to get as far away from Grey's as possible so he can go forward in his career as an actor.
I'm proud of him and look forward to hearing about his future products and hope to see him on the stage. It'd be so great to see him live and to see such a talent.
Just adding this in because I can be such a fangirl: he looks GREAT! I've never seen him look so good.
As much as TR seems to be a good person, this bothers me A LOT!
I find this disappoiting.
TR wanted out from a long time and didn't even bother to go to SR and workds things out. That was very weak. If he wanted to stay on the show and have a more significant role, he should've talked to her. Make the KH annoying comments. He would've gotten somewhere. Or go the ABC execs. There is something that could be done but instead he chose not to.
Very disappointing.
I really hope that this works out well for him, otherwise it's going to be a huge 'I told you so'.
As for Isaiah-gate, I'd thought it was over. It is nothing new or surprising that networks execs. want to tone down on the coming out of actors (if it happens during the show's lifetime) in order to keep controversy down. Can't say how that applies to GA since they love controversy but it's the way business work. Why did this had an effect on TR? He knows how things work out. He really shouldn't be asking permission to speak his mind out (certainly his BFF doesn't). And finally something good out of KH. Good to see that they didn't leave him without a fight.
I don't know if I should be angry or happy at him. I'm happy he's finding something that he enjoys although I'm angry about how he left without a fight.
Callie: I don't wanna have kids if it means I can't be with you. Arizona: We'll have kids. We'll have all kinds of kids... I can't live without you and our 10 kids.
