Thank goodness, those two sound like they are so miserable to have on the set. I hope this means Kevin will get more screen time as a result and maybe Justin Chambers will actually get a good storyline too.

Katherine Heigl Joins The GREY'S ANATOMY Exodus 2/10/2009 Written by Nicole Pedersen Seattle Grace has another casualty. Speaking to US Weekly on Tuesday, actor James Pickens Jr. confirmed that his "Grey's Anatomy" cast mate Katherine Heigl will be leaving the show sometime later season. Pickens, who plays Seattle Grace's Chief of Surgery Dr. Webber, says he wishes Heigl "nothing but the best"… but considering her reputation for making the "Grey's Anatomy" set a living hell, I have a hard time buying the sentiment. Heigl, who won an Emmy for playing Dr. Izzie Stevens on the top-rated medical drama, is known for her public comments disparaging the quality of writing on the series. She even announced that she did not want to be considered for last year's Emmy Awards because she "did not feel that (she) was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination." That's right girl, the way to get the juicy storylines is to publicly castrate the people who could give you said storylines! Why do you think Sally Field gets nominated again and again? She's a b***h, that's why! To be fair, Heigl isn't the only "Grey's" actor who has complained about getting short shrift in the script department. A little over a month ago TR Knight announced that he would be leaving the series to "pursue other opportunities". Knight too was dissatisfied with the development of his character, George O'Malley. I admit that George has been marginalized since his break-up with Izzie, but honestly TR - what other opportunities are out there that are better than "Grey's Anatomy" right now? Katherine Heigl at least has the semblance of a movie career. You're just the guy who is forever going to be known as "the one that Isaiah Washington called a gay". With Heigl and Knight now exiting, Brooke Smith's Dr. Hahn character written out for being "too gay" and Melissa George ending her run as the wacky new intern, "Grey's Anatomy" is left with a drastically depleted stable of interesting storylines. You've got whiny Meredith, bitchy Christina and horny McSteamy… that's about it. If only Shonda Rhimes could find a way to make "Grey's" even HALF as interesting to watch as it is to read about in the trades, I would be content. As it is, any show that can find a way to waste a gift like Kevin McKidd while concentrating on ghost-sex and lesbians is one show that is no longer worth my time.www.collider.com/entertainment/tv/article.asp?aid=10877&tcid=1

I agree with Nicole Pedersen's final sentiments regarding Kevin. Hopefully tptb are seeing the error of their ways and the Owen storyline will get the attention it deserves in order to grow.

” I was at Sbar this week in Hollywood, and it was crazy packed. Noticing there were tons of paps outside of the bar, I knew someone was either on their way or already inside.
Sure enough, outside I hear a really familiar laugh in the smoking (cough cough) area… and it was Katherine Heigl from Knocked Up, 27 dresses, and… the ever so controversial, Grey’s Anatomy.
She was outside with some friends and her husband Josh Kelley, who was incredibly nice and thankful that I knew who he was!! They were having QUITE A FEW drinks and chain smoking. She was crackin’ jokes and laughing even harder at them than anyone else.
When I asked her for a picture she said “oh my god of course! ” Then when we were posing for the picture she turns around and faces me dead on and starts ranting about how small my nose ring is. By this time, the paps were going nuts and we just kept laughing, then she continued to laugh about how she wishes she could get a small little nose ring but they wouldn’t let her have it on Grey’s.
I then thought it was perfect timing to ask her about the infamous rumor of whether or not she is leaving the show with T.R. Knight. She said “Nope, I am still on the show for now, at least another season!!!! So you better watch it.” I laughed and said “Of course!!” So there you go.
Drunken words are the sober thoughts right? ”

*sigh* Yeah, that's what we need more Izzy angst. We'll see if it's true or not.
