ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson confirmed today, Wednesday, that Katherine Heigl is still very much part of the Grey’s Anatomy family.
They’re not letting Katie out of that contract!
The ABC prez told TV critics, “She won an Emmy last year, she’s a fantastically talented actress. I think it’s unfortunate when there’s any kind of turmoil on that show. There’s so many people who work so incredibly hard to make that show the No. 1 show in the country. I never like to see when any of them take it lightly. She’s absolutely staying with the show. There’s an unbelievable story line for her next season. Shonda Rhimes is excited about that, she actually crafted it.”
Ha! ABC probably made Rhimes make nice with Katie!
According to past reports, she was thinking of killing Heigl off!
Sounds like it’s going to be a mighty dramatic year on the screen and behind the scenes at Grey’s!
