If all you Grey’s Anatomy fans are still wondering where it all went wrong with George O’Malley, then read on! T.R Knight is finally coming clean about how his exit from the show came to pass.
T.R. was recently interviewed about his departure and, frankly, his decision was based purely on the bad blood he has been harboring for series creator Shonda Rimes.
Meow!
Knight admits that problems originally arose during the “Isaiahgate” incident.
T.R. remembers the incident as “frustrating,” more so since it took Shonda three months to publicly condemn Isaiah Washington for his use of an anti-gay slur. Then, there was even more turmoil between the two as T.R. suggests Shonda wanted him to keep his sexuality hidden, despite his feelings that coming out of the closet would help the “Isaiahgate” situation.
But the boiling point for Knight was his lack of screen time and lack of connection with his character during the last few seasons. He resented and lost respect for his character and the people behind it: ├óΓé¼┼ôMy five-year experience proved to me that I could not trust any answer that was given [about his character, George]…It didn├óΓé¼Γäót seem like an ebb to me. No other series regular├óΓé¼Γäós character had ever disappeared like mine did this past season.├óΓé¼┬¥
And if you are hoping T.R. will return to the series in flashbacks or something – don’t, because it ain’t gonna happen. He flat out refused them and their big check to pursue other projects: ├óΓé¼┼ôThere just comes a time when it├óΓé¼Γäós so clear that moving on is the best decision.├óΓé¼┬¥
We wish him the best!
