You all be smarter that this. Heigl and TR wanted out of there contract forever. They got it. They wasn't thinking about the fans or there bosses when they made there decision. And if you ask me there decision will come back to bite them in the ass. Have we seen one thing TR has done that has been headline worthy??? NO!!!!!!!! Nearly everyone on the show are parents. But they still manage to come into work and do there job. Hell Ellen worked right up till she had her baby and didn't miss and episode. Now that is a dedicated actress.

It seemed like just a matter of time for a WHILE now. I will really miss Izzie Stevens, but I won't miss KH. The thing is I really think she is a fantastic actress in the show. I wish she had a proper send off, but this whole season has been pretty bad. I think it's about to turn a corner, though.
March 24th, 2010 6:50 PM
Ok, I'm bitter now. I hate the picture. Don't patronize me KH!
Enjoy the time "off".
I could say that in 5 years from now you'll be crying. But GA has gone to sh#t! You're probably better off.

KH fired her former publicist and hired a replacement. I'm sure that publicist told her that leaving to spend more time with her daughter will sound better to her fans. They've forgotten that she has been wanting to get out of her contract for three years now. They've forgotten that she's made numerous movies and gone to numerous premieres. I guess that didn't take her away from her daughter. She could have come back and completed the season and given closure to her character. But of course the reality is she is only thinking of herself. She should have shown professionalism which would have benefited herself and the show. She did not consider the show, her fellow castmates and her fans. And this article is another halfbaked response to the bad press she is getting.

clearly-a full time job(where there is a 17 hour day) a movie career(two that she is still filming, one that is already filmed) and a one year old adoptive daughter with a year (two year?) brand new marraige! hell yeah she made the right choice! as of now- heigl is probably making more money doing movies then she is on greys. although she could have made an exit episode but they kind of already did? i mean what kind of overdramatic exit did we fans want? she would have came back and not have made up with alex.
anyway--katherine heigl made the right choice in my opinion...i believe that this is her reason to leave because she never had a problem speaking her mind before-so why would she now that she's out of her contract? exactly. :)
i'll miss you iz. :(

Sad to see her go but she'll regret it. This was her "big break" and she should have rode it until it lasted. I mean, look at the Friends cast, they haven't really done anything decent since. Too bad, she'll regret it.

Do I think she really left because of her family? "NO" I think she left because even before kids she was wanting out. I do however believe that basing it on the kids is a good approach or "good politcs". Do I think they could have written her character off better? "NO" She was ready to go why continue to write scripts and put time and energy into a character who doesn't want to be on set. It is bad energy for all involved.

While I respect her decision on leaving, especially meaning family time, I call crap on half of it. She should've just admit she doesn't want to be there anymore.
Haha, I also thought of Britney Spears on her cover like that. I don't get why they made KH pose like that. Seems hypocrite.

Who are we to judge about her choices or reasons, whatever they are?! If I quite my job, no one can blame me or judge me, cause it's MY job, MY life... How is this any different for a tv-star like KH?! (Are we really that selfish that we'd rather want someone to be unhappy so that we won't miss some character on tv? Really?!)
I think her story ended perfectly well. They could but didn't 'kill' her but gave her a new life (which is actually quite realistic, many people start over after surviving sh*t like this).
Hope Alex turns out fine, he deserves some happiness!!

Well I am very glad that's cleared up because it seemed to drive everyone on this forum crazy. I actually believe that her daughter would be a reason for leaving GA because honestly the woman does spend a lot of time with her family (her mom is her manager!) It may have costed her a lot of fans but IMO without family you don't have anything.
For people who don't believe that was the reason: Shonda Rhimes could have killed KH's character end of S5 and that could have also ended her contract but she didn't which means that KH didn't expect all these things to happen so quickly. I mean a movie career, a TV show and a family??? That's overkill so she chose movies and her family which to me is up to her.
I just wished that there would be one more episode as well with her but oh well. I want closure with Izzie's character and honestly the writers can do it without KH. I wish her the best of luck with all her future endevors

Well, she's making an excuse, I think. Her daughter is part of her choice. But she wants to make a career on the big screen. This is the real reason, right ? Which, in my opinion will not easily work out, considering what kind of movies she's done so far. To me, Katherine Heigl is never as good on screen as she is in Grey's anatomy.

I agree with the idea that this confession would be much easier to swallow if this latest incident was not preceded by earlier KH drama. I don't want to say she's using her daughter as an excuse, but it's really convenient timing...
March 24th, 2010 12:37 PM
I understand her reasons to leave and all, but I just wish Izzie had a proper sendoff. =/
Maybe she will guest star in some future episodes though. That would be interesting to watch.

The only problem with that confession is that she wanted to leave GA years ago, not just recently, so I don't think she should use her daughter as an excuse for that. It's a natural thing that she wants to spent more time with Naleigh, but I don't see how she could if she's going to make like 5 movies in 2010. She can take her daughter to the shootings and the promotions around the world or she can leave her home, but she's not going to spent too much time with her either way, so it doesn't seem like the reason why she's living GA.

she looks like Britney Spears in the cover.
LOL at the "Tiger Woods checks into image rehab". Fitting for the cover as they seemingly want the same thing for bearing their souls to EW

Personally, I'm "over" KH. She has a family, I get that. I just wish the writers would have done something more creative for a send off instead of her just leaving. The last episode didn't do the character justice.

I actually don't think she's SO SORRY, because if she really cared, she'd do one more send-off episode. I never bash the actors on grey's, or any TV show/movie for that matter, because we really can't possibly know all the background details in their lives (which is none of our business) or know them in person....BUT.
KH was complaining a lot to the public about stuff she shouldn't have, she had given a pretty fair schedule this year with the movie-breaks and maternity leave and all, and YET she still can't manage to do one more episode that she was by the way bound by a contract to do so.
I think Shonda and the producers went way too soft on this one. It is one thing to let her out of the contract, things happen, I get it, but AT LEAST she should have been bound to make one last appearance for the show's and her character's sake. And I wouldn't care HOW KH would feel during that shooting, it's WORK, it's commitment, but most of all it's PROFESSIONALISM.
And sadly KH apparently lac

I understand about her choice, being a new mum and all but how about us Izzie fans? We still want to know about Izzie's life before working her butt off from studying in state school while juggling with part-time work as waitress and modelling to being an intent in Seattle Grace Hospital. I still wants to know if she ever knew who's her father is/was because it was never mentioned for 6 seasons. I still wants know if Izzie will ever see Hannah again. I still wants to know if she ever practice medicine again after being fired!! Was her application to be accepted at Tacoma successful? Come on she needs a proper send-off not like in 6.12 where her husband Alex send her off and never want to see her again. Come on Katie, come on Shonda , for this fan let it be a proper send-off.
March 24th, 2010 10:15 AM
I get that she wants more time with her family, of course she does but she should have at least done one more episode to tie up the loose ends, it's a little ridiculous because the way she left in her last episode was not a proper send off! Everythings still a little loose.
Shame.
March 24th, 2010 9:48 AM
I knew her daughter was the reason why KH didn't want to do Grey's anymore. She saw that her daughter was going to suffered if she stay at Grey's and doing movies at the same time. She choose Movie and her daughter.
