Grey's Anatomy USA #24 - I hate Valentine's Day

Op 11 maart op EZTV: ( toch wel duidelijk verhaal .... )

After a six-year Grey's Anatomy stint marked by almost as many controversies as triumphs, Katherine Heigl is thisclose to getting what she has long desired: a discharge.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that series creator Shonda Rhimes has agreed to release the fast-rising movie star from her contract. It’s now up to ABC Studios and Heigl’s reps to hash out a final exit agreement. (A rep for ABC Studios declined to comment. Coincidentally, as of today Heigl is without a publicist.) Why is this all coming down now? That’s where things get interesting…

After taking more than half of the current season off to make another movie and connect with her adopted daughter, Heigl was scheduled to return to the Grey’s set on March 1 to begin work on the five remaining episodes of the season. There’s just one problem: March 1 came and went and there was no Heigl.

A source within the actress’ camp claims Heigl “was at home and ready to return to work.” Another insider, however, “insists it’s much more complicated than that.” The source adds that talks between Heigl and ABC have been going on for months and last week both sides mutually decided that the best solution would be to part ways now as opposed to at the end of the season. As a result, Heigl is not expected to return to the Grey’s set, which means her final episode as Izzie has already aired.

The break-up caps a long history of tumult between Heigl and Grey’s. Here’s a quick recap of some of the more high-profile squabbles:

* In 2007, Heigl found herself in the middle of the TR Knight/Isaiah Washington feud when she publicly dissed Washington for repeating the F word at the Golden Globes.

* In 2008, Heigl took a swipe at Grey’s writers when she announced that she wasn’t entering the Emmy race because “did not feel I was given the material… to warrant a nomination.”

* Over the summer, she groused to David Letterman that Grey’s was subjecting her to intolerable working conditions. “Our first day back was Wednesday,” she said, “and it was — I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them — a 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean.”

Bottom line: There’s no love lost on either side as this whole sordid chapter comes to an end.

Ze was in ieder geval niet op de set, dat is meestal al een teken

Izzie Stevens is no more. “I can confirm she’s leaving Grey’s Anatomy,” a rep for ABC says of Katherine Heigl’s status on the hit show.

Katherine’s rep tells us the same. “I can confirm she is no longer on Grey’s.”

So why is she leaving? And will we ever see her again? Here’s the scoop from Heigl herself, and what insiders tell me:

“I am done,” Heigl tells EW’s Michael Ausiello in this week’s cover story. “We just finalized our agreement. Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It’s sad but it’s what I wanted.”

And we have already seen the very last of Izzie Stevens.

ABC insiders confirm that although Heigl was slated to shoot five more episodes this season, her final episode on the series aired Jan. 21.

While multiple sources tell me Heigl had been asking out of her Grey’s contract for about three years, Heigl says the reason she’s leaving is to spend more time with her newly adopted daughter, Naleigh. “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” Heigl says. “It changed my desire to work full-time.” She refutes the notion that she wants to leave to shoot more movies.
