Is Izzie headed to the morgue?

Not to be rude...but this is old news. Anyone who follows Grey's has known for months that Izzie had cancer...and they've already basically said that this won't necessarily be a death sentence for her.

Just because she has cancer doesn't mean she'll die (not that I care about anyone on that show except for Callie, Arizona and Cristina).

Ausiello reported months ago that it was a Brain Aneurysm. I really don't care how she dies just as long as she dies and gets off the show already. Her acting (and T.R. Knight's) completely changed 2 seasons ago. It wasn't even as if they playing their characters anymore. Instead they were just being themselves... annoying and self righteous.

I've never read one nice thing about Katherine Heigl. I think her fame went to her head way too quickly. It's obvious she wants to be the next Julia Roberts. The only thing is she doesn't have Julia's charisma or charm. After she talked trash about Knocked Up, I lost all respect for her.

Good riddance!

... by all the Heighl bashing. Just because she spoke the truth about Greys Anatomy, and about Knocked up?

We all know that the creative minds over at Grey's are known for destroying storylines, and Heigl was one of the only actors to call them on it with her Emmy withdrawl.

They took her character from a strong woman, to a flakey bimbo whos story line revolves around her poor choices in men (George, and the ridiculous Dead Denny).

I've got respect for her as an actress, but as for the character of Izzie, another Greys Anatomy creative trainwreck.

If that mole she had biopsied is a malignant melanoma, coupling that with the neurological signs is baaad news for the ghost whisperer. Brain mets. Goodye Dr. Stevens. Unless this is what brings the newly bearded Dr. Shepherd out of hiding from a cave somewhere in the middle east to perform her life-saving surgery. 

Could be something else, though. She could just be raving mad. Or maybe she'll just become a lesbian for an episode and then get lost in the car park. That seems like a reasonable way to end her time on the show, no?

I hadn't heard about the Izzie/cancer thing. Two seasons ago, I would have cared. Now I couldn't give a rat's ass. 

But regarding Katherine Heigl herself, when I heard that she had withdrawn her name for Emmy consideration, I thought "Wow - that took some balls!" I understand that it could be interpreted as biting the hand that feeds her but let's be honest, by saying Izzie didn't have any Emmy-worthy material, she was basically saying what many of us have been saying for a long time.

And as for trash-talking Knocked Up, all she said was that it was "a little sexist". Which it kinda is! Funny movie but yes, women are portrayed as humourless shrews compared to their goofy male counterparts. I really don't understand the bashlack on that one.

Also, around the time of the Isaiah Washington debacle, Heigl was the only one who actually said what everyone was thinking when she said something like "That guy just shouldn't be allowed talk in public. Period." The rest of the cast was quite pc and tight-lipped about it but she spoke her mind.

Is there something awful about her that I don't know? Does she kick puppies or something?

- My mother made me a homosexual.

- If I send her the wool, will she make me one?

does everyone have to be killed by cancer?

ie: dana

now izzy,

hopefully not.

Couldn't they have her die by falling down an elevator shaft on her way to chemo? I mean, that would be the kind of meta-commentary that would be just too good!

If the actor disses the writers, then it is the only solution. Just ask Joey. I miss "Friends"!

I could care less about Izzie.  We've all known that she was going to leave eventually.  I'm still mad that they gave up Callica sex for Dead-Denny sex.  Ew.

I'm feeling Saxy...

I guess I'm for the underdog here... I've enjoyed Katherine Heigl since Roswell and have been a big Izzy supporter from the beginning of Grey's Anatomy even when she barely had a storyline, even when they took it too far with Denny "the ghost".

I like Katherine Heigl... she may be lacking the filter that makes most of us stop, weigh our words and thoughts and speak more carefully, but she's truthful and tells it like it is (even when it may only be in her mind) and she's not worried about the outcome, which is kind of nice and far too rare in Hollywood, where most everyone has secrets, weighs their words far too much and skulks around.

Whether Katherine continues on the show or moves on to greener pastures (considering the show starting drastically going downhill with the departure of Addison and then the whole dismissal of Brooke Smith) I wish her well and am happy to have her as one of the "straight but not narrow" LGBTQ supporters in Hollywood! When she stuck up for T.R. Knight that sealed the deal in my book!

I agree with the last few commentators.

 1. She was absolutely right to speak out about knocked up. I, for one, am sick of all these comedies being churned out by Hollywood in which women are nothing more than an afterthought or a 'sexualised' prize for the men.

 2. I agree. It takes balls to say you don't deserve a prize. The writing on Grey's is appalling these days.

3. She stood up for her gay cast mate. That also took balls.

 The only thing not to like is her rubbish character in Greys, and that's not Heigl's fault.

Good thing IFC isn't writing the story. She'd be DEAD within three weeks!

I don't like Izzie's storyline. Ever since Denny died she has really gone to hell. That whole George thing? I mean, REALLY? You fell in love with THE GUY, mourned him terribly, then had sex, drunk with George, then decided she was in love with HIM? George? Really? REALLY? r-e-a-l-l-y? (I'm sorry, I'm like one season late in my criticism haha).

When I saw the "I'm here for you... I'm here for you... I'm here for you" episode, I just crashed. I would've liked it more if she had just gone nuts. Literally. Unresolved mourning issues. They connected the whole the patient they stole the heart from with Denny, so i figured it just all came back... Until it continued... and continued... and continued... and continued.

They'd been careful -kinda- with most characters. At least, in more credible ways (although I still can't figure out quite well how Meredith went from being in love with Sheperd to a full committment phobic, but ok -now she's kinda normal again-). 

I've never liked Grey. I still can't believe she's the "main" character. Haha. She has no personality, at all. I do like Lexie more. She's so alive. So truthful. And I actually like the whole Mark-Lexie thing... I still love the show, who am I kidding.

BTW, how about that Addison appearance? God, that woman is gor-geous! Ah.. Addison.

Well it makes me sad that she's going to be leaving of course. I mean, she was there since day one. Plus I'll miss her quirkyness but when I think about all the ridiculous storylines I had to sit through... well, I don't mind that she's leaving.

Hopefully a more interesting character with a better story comes along. *cough* Addison! Gosh, bring her back from Private Practice already! Never liked that show anyhow...
