T.R. Knight NOT Leaving Grey's

He’s in. He’s out.

He’s back in?

This morning it was reported that T.R. Knight was not returning for the next season of Grey’s Anatomy.

But, not so fast, because now there might be hope.

A tweet from show creator Shonda Rhimes suggests that the news of T.R.’s departure is false or as she puts it, “a hilarious, ridiculous rumor.”

But is it?

All anyone is sure about is that both he and Katherine Heigl are under contract for another season and judging by Shonda’s instant reaction to the news, she clearly wants to keep them on board.

At the fall upfronts for ABC, entertainment boss Stephen McPherson also weighed in on the situation, but gave no definite answer: “They’ve both signed on [for next season]. I can’t say whether or not they’ll both be there.”

Way to keep the fans dangling.

Our bet: Geroge out, Izzie in.

But we’ll just have to wait and see!
