Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is speaking out about the famous Katherine Heigl snub for Emmy awards consideration.
Rhimes says, “When I was told about it, my reaction was surprised. I have a really wonderful working relationship with Katherine. Everybody knows Izzie is one of my favorite characters.”
And when asked if she was insulted at Heigl’s remarks, Rhimes added, ├óΓé¼┼ôIt├óΓé¼Γäós not insulting the writers per se. The first half of the season she had a very strong storyline with George that played out a lot more comedic than a lot of her storylines ├óΓé¼┬ª The back half of the season, Katherine asked me to write her light so that she could do her movie. I don├óΓé¼Γäót feel insulted.├óΓé¼┬¥
How diva. If she asked you to write less for her, you should have written her out!
Silvio Horta from Ugly Betty jokes, ├óΓé¼┼ôI would put her in a coma.”
That wouldn’t be a bad idea!
And to keep things juicy next season, Grey’s Anatomy is expanding on the lesbian storyline.
Rhimes says, “We have a really interesting, funny way of laying out a story for Erica (Brooke Smith) and Callie (Sara Ramirez). It’s not your typical way of dealing with the storyline; we sat down with them and talked about women who figure out they’re lesbians later in life and we found out some interesting things to play out.”
Will U be watching next season?
