Update on T.R. Knight wanting to leave Grey's


I realize that yesterday I posted the rumors about T.R. Knight wanting to leave Grey's Anatomy were false, so consider this a retraction. But it's not totally stupidity on my part. T.R.'s rep said that contrary to reports, he hadn't walked off the set during the middle of filming, and he was on the set as early as Monday filming like any other normal day. It turns out the rumors that T.R. wants out of his contract are true, though. It sounds like he's not happy with the direction his character of George O'Malley is going, and he's also still a little bitter that it took show creator Shonda Rhimes so long to publicly reprimand Isaiah Washington (Dr. Burke) for his gay-bashing comments.

Maybe instead of choosing to release their stars or allow them to leave, the execs for Grey's should look at their writers. They fire Brooke Smith about a month ago because the writers apparently couldn't further her character's storyline, and now T.R. isn't happy with the direction of his character? Not to mention they have Katherine Heigl's character banging a dead guy right now. Just sayin'.
