Sources say Katherine Heigl will return to her role as Izzie Stevens on the ABC hit show "Grey's Anatomy".
An insider told The Hollywood Reporter, Heigl's option on Grey's has been picked up, which confirms she will continue on the show.
Although ABC has yet to actually confirm any casting for the hit series, the network did confirm Heigl's co-star T.R. Knight will not return for Grey's sixth season.
Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes said of Knight, "He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us".
His return would be rather challenging considering his Dr. George O'Malley character was hit by a bus then flat-lined during the finale.
Knight said in a statement:
"Leaving "Grey's Anatomy" was not an easy decision for me to make. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much."
Are you excited about Izzie's return? Also, how do you feel about O'Malley leaving the show? Please leave a comment below.
