Heigl is going to have a run about like Jenna Elfman from Dharma and Greg. A couple years on television, a few lame movies and then obscurity. Being an "it" girl is truly fleeting and she doesn't have the acting chops to carry it through to an illustrious movie career.

I'd rather see Meredith go before Izzie. I realize Meredith is the namesake of the show, but she's such an incredibly unlikeable character--whining, moaning, complaining constantly, on-and-off again with "McDreamy," and generally a nasty person to almost everyone around her. I buy Izzie as a doctor before I can accept Meredith as even being human.

Actually there wasn't much to see on Grey's this year. Izzie and George getting together and then fumbling the way they did was BORING. Every ones storey lines sucked. I watched because I kept hoping the writers would come off strike and give us the show we all loved previously. Then I realised they WERE off strike and this was what they were putting out. I bought season one and season two, but I will be damned if I will waste my hard earned money on the pathetic excuse for the junk put out after the strike. Guess the writers didn't get the money they wanted from the strike as it shows in there work. WAY to go Izzie! You hit the nail on the head when you pulled yourself from the emmys. But not to worry, your co-stars won't win. Their storey lines were as bad as yours. Sandra Oh's was a hair above Izzie's and I mean a hair. She shoulda pulled herself from the running also. As you should notice, the show didn't get a nod for best show either. Hummmm, point taken. Writers, get with the program and give us back our program. CSI is starting to look good to me!

She's exhausting to be around ... why isn't he sick of her always feeling so sorry for herself? Give me Izzie any day ... she's upbeat, offbeat and just fun to watch.

Izzie use to be a good character. Her Dr. Model persona was one that I loved to watch - her being able to fend for herself against her past to her peers and her patients. But then Denny came along and she went all crazy.

The thing with Grey's is that you can pick out a moment that changes each character. Just as Denny was Izzie's changing moment, George's dad dying changed him. Burke leaving Cristina changed her. I think that's what makes the show human.

But I totally agree - give Izzie more real (or at least less fantastical) situations, please. The writers didn't screw with anyone like they screwed with Izzie, and that makes me sad, because she used to be a favorite.

PS - I love the references to Gerard Butler, and totally agree there, too!

I think the potential tumor storyline could save Grey's Anatomy by putting the writing back on top. I think the tumor storyline would be an excellent storyline for Grey's Anatomy to use. Though to kill her off I don't know if it would save Grey's Anatomy. It's barely surviving as it. People do watch this show for Izzie/Katherine a lot. I only watch this show primarly for Izzie/Katherine Heigl. It's a gamble to let go of this character. I love Izzie even though she tends to the most stupidest things. Just she seems to care more, and she is trying to get better. Izzie is a breath of fresh air since most of the characters are dark and twisty. There is so much I can take, so when Izzie pops onscreen with her "yay" expression I love it. Whenever Heigl is gone that will be the moment I will stop watching the show.

With everything wrong with the show it's amazing anyone watches. It's inconceivable that these people had the brains and ability to become doctors.
George especially. He handles pressure like he's got shell shock.
Meredith is an emotional wreck and suicidal drama queen.
Izzie, lest we forget, killed her boyfriend and was able to avoid both dismissal and jail by crying on the bathroom floor for an episode or so.
Bailey is a nutjob and an absentee mother that breaks out into spontaneous speeches which seem oddly rehearsed.
The Chief is going through a constant midlife crisis.
McDreamy is an idiot romantic, and McSteamy is a rape charge waiting to happen.
Christina is too self-aware to actually do some of the stupid stuff she does, like her "like a virgin" sing-a-thon.
And even in Burke's departure from the show the writers displayed how flawed their writing was... what kind of world-class heart surgeon with such a solid upbringing and competetive nature disappears on his wedding day and quits his job at the same time? Who the hell else would hire him after that?
Alex, the local "bad boy" seems to be the most realistic. Which ain't saying much.

All that said... all of that is why people watch this crap show. And somehow it works... in it's way.

Well, Well the downfall of Izzie was Denny and the really did her in when they had her have drunken sex with George and then we are suppose to believe that is love. And don't get me started on George's wife she didn't make it with George and now she is gay. What is that all about? The show needs to get back on track. Let's face it it was better with Burke. Now I am not condoning what transpired between him and T.J. but was it worth him losing his job and the show has been downhill since. For Izzie she can only work with what she is given and that was not much. It would have been better if they explored the storyline with her and Alex but that is another whole subject.

I don't like the "new" girl he is dating and I know that when the new season starts since Mereidth is ready to start a life with McDreamy, the writer's have dreamed something up to keep them apart...yet again.

If you don't like the characters...don't watch the show!

Like it or not, the show centers on Meredith. Yeah, she is an emotional mess...but wouldn't you be in her shoes? For God's sake, as a child she watched her mother slit her wrists right in front of her, and then refuse to let her call for help. Not to mention her father walking out on her and her mother's complete emotional unavailability and tough love (if there was any love at all) approach to child-rearing. That all makes for some pretty big relationship issues, trust issues, etc.

If you want to look at the characters through shallow eyes, go right ahead...when you do that, you see a whining, spoiled brat. But when you actually attempt to look at the characters as a cumulative effect of their fictional experiences, you would see that Meredith, while undeniably screwed up, has spent her life trying to put the pieces of herself back together after her parents ripped them to shreds.

I've tried to watch this show several times, because I was told that it was good. I could never understand why people watch it. It's totally unrealistic, with bad acting and horrible writing. There are a few good actors on it who are wasted by talentless writers (Heigl isn't one of them, she is constantly overacting). And this Emmy talk is press overreacting. Whatever I think about Heigl, she was right about one thing: there is no good enough material on this show to deserve Emmy nomination. I'm surprised that they've got any nominations at all. But no best drama nomination speaks volumes. Maybe Emmy voters finally realized that buzz is not enough, and what really counts is quality.

Flash in the pan Heigl is but one of the many reasons this overrated show is pure tripe. The writing is melodramatic and pedestrian, and the characters are all self absorbed and insufferably whiny. As far as Heigl's "movie career" goes, I'm sure she could call Shelley Long, Jenna Elfman, and Jeff Conaway for some pointers on a long, illustrious one.

It's a television show. It is meant to entertain. If it doesn't entertain you, don't watch it but shut up!

Show used to be awesome - it ened last season with potential redemption, but Izzy is just flat annoying, since the story line with denny ended. Her character has been wasted...

Lets hope it gets back on track next yeasr..

I could not agree more!!! My wife and i have watched grey's since the beginning. While we found it a fun show to watch there were two characters that i could not stand Meredith and Izzy. I find Meredith to be the least interesting of all the characters and Izzy to be the most annoying. Let the writers write them off the show and rename it.

I HATE Izzie! They should kill her!
Katherine Heigl CAN'T act.

Meredith Grey is THE BEST character of this show.

I think that it was very brave of Katherine to speak truthfully about how she felt. It wasn't a personal strike against anyone. She just wanted to give other actresses a chance at what she's already experienced.

As for the show in general, I believe that season two was by far the best season and it's something I watch over and over again. I truly believe that the writers are cooking up a greater story line for its next season. Here's hoping anyway!

I watched the show for two reasons: George and Izzie, individually, together, as a couple and as friends. You get rid of one of them and I am done forever.

I love Izzie, except when she is with Alex, yikes. I loved the romance with George, even though i did not condone the affair. Their love was the only believable to me. If you want to get rid of someone, get rid of boring Alex or annoying Callie.

How about this:
1. Kill Meredeth. Have baby sister carry on the namesake torch.

2. Izzie..hmm...you don't want complete overkill here [ha], so she leaves in a different manner. I'm thinking something a bit more graceful like starting some kind of grassroots charity thing at the hospital that eventually takes off that she decides to pursue.

2.5 OR - Izzie and George's wife take each other down in an epic battle, preferably involving mouth guards, swords, and those damn plastic casings that electronics are packaged in that are ridiculously hard to open. And maybe a waffle iron.

3. George becomes a hippie. Think about it- I'm already amused.

4. I'm not sure what to do about McDreamy. He started to annoy me a while ago. In lieu of something better, he can simply move to Florida and become my physical therapist and feed me grapes on Tuesdays.

Make Izzie the new "coma guy" put her in a coma. Have somebody pouring their heart out to her in every episode, then kill her in the series finale.

Whatever happened to the whole 'long-lost daughter that Izzie gave up for adoption' storyline? They could have gone somewhere really interesting with that but dropped it for the lame Izzie-George romance drama. It was so annoying, just like the Joey-Rachel thing near the end of Friends - lots of build-up, but once they actually got together, the writers got bored or didn't know what to do with them as an actual couple, so they just decided to drop it with no real explanation.

I stopped watching for months now. I hate watching (me/me/me) Meredith and (ditzy)Izzy. George just gets on my Nerves.. McDreamy needs to go into some sort of coma for a while. What's the other guy's name...? The bad boy... No not Mcsteamy... the other one. Give him something interesting to say and don't make it dumb

The first season of Grey's was the only great one. It's gone steadily downhill and gotten extremely silly and unbelievable since. They need to get back to actual "medical" story lines again instead of all this Meredith/McDreamy relationship drama. Who really cares anymore?

And Izzy's character is really annoying to boot. If she were a real person she would never last as a doctor in the real world.

Grey's started out OK but like most series has lost all it's punch. Boring stories and "TV" acting. Getting rid of Izzie might be OK for one show, what about the balance of the staff, one at a time?

Deb, are you talking about Gerard's scottish accent? I somehow don't think you did watch Phantom of the Opera, it was sung for the most part.

I don't watch Grey's Anatomy, but am looking forward to seeing Gerry and Katherine in The Ugly Truth. After your article, I just might start watching Grey's Anatomy.

I agree with some of this. I really like Katherine Heigl...I think she's got lots of promise as far as her acting career goes.
I also at one time liked Grey's Anatomy. The first season was fairly witty and had some interesting elements (Meredith's mother and less than perfect family, etc.) However, my like of the show ended with the whole climax of the Izzie/Denny story arc. Season three is when I completely stopped watching. It felt like the quality of the writing tanked, the good actors got annoying, and the annoying actors got worse.
If they write off Heigl's character then more power to her in the pursuit of her acting career. I think Grey's has not only jumped the shark but it's now dancing around the tank mocking the shark and contemplating how many more jumps it can pull off.

I don't see what's the big deal. If they were all perfectly normal, non-annoying people, then there would be nothing even remotely interesting about the show. And if they were all likeable, it would be totally boring. On any TV show, there is always going to be some character that each and every viewer doesn't like. And just because some fraction of the audience doesn't like that person doesn't mean he or she needs to be killed off. Isn't TV more fun with the characters we love to hate? And as several others have already said, if you don't like the show, or you HATE Izzy, then please quit watching the show and quit your bitching. That makes you just as annoying as all the whiney people on the show that so many of you claim you can't stand!!! I like Grey's and I like Izzy just fine. And CR I agree with you completely! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Please, Please get rid of Izzie (Katherine) and never, ever nominate her for another emmy. I think it is just plain old rude to take your name out of contention for an award. First, it is not just your work they are judging but the material that you were given. This affects other income and lifestyle. She is not a very good actress, I will give her that, but downplay someones writing skills, because you don't think. It's just wrong. She should probably try to keep this job, their are not many out their for her, she will be as has been, before she is a been.

HELLO!!! How can we kill off Izzie with a brain tumor when Meredith and Derek killed so many people at the end of last season perfecting the "inject the virus in the tumor" cure for brain tumors? I work as a RN in a hospital and I find that the silliness of all the characters are very realistic to what you find in the real world...these are people with problems...having DR in front of your name doesn't make you have 'it' together. I will agree that last season all together was a mess but I'm going to contribute it to the writers strike and give everyone a chance this season before I agree that we should start killing off characters -- and give Izzie a break....did anyone see how Alex and Ava ended the season....that was even more ridiculous!!!!!

Denise, I agree with you 100%, except that Gerry B. is destined to fall for a 29 year old, slightly neurotic, healthcare worker who...well, better not give too much of the story line away. But you know what I mean!

Can't wait to host an "Izzy's dying" themed Grey's night gettogether. What a hoot that'll be.
