Katherine Heigl Wants Out of Grey’s Anatomy

Katherine Heigl has reportedly quit ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.  The actress – who has portrayed Dr Izzie Stevens in the US medical drama show for six years – is believed to have begged bosses on the show to release her from her contract so she can focus on her movie career instead.

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has reported: “Sources confirm to me exclusively that series creator Shonda Rhimes has agreed to release the fast-rising movie star from her contract. It’s now up to ABC Studios and Heigl’s reps to hash out a final exit agreement.”

Katherine took a break from the current series to look after her adopted daughter Nayleigh with husband Josh Kelley.
