Well it seems that despite the fact that the quotes came from a co-star, Grey’s Anatomy will not be saying good-bye to any of its cast members. Creator and executive director, Shonda Rhimes has put an end to the rumors, stating that Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are definitely not leaving.

“That was absolutely taken out of context. Things happen, and … I think rumors become fact very easily. And you know I don’t like to tell you what’s going to happen on the show – but that is a rumor.”

Huh, really? Usually rumors are started by an undisclosed source, not a star of the show. But even the source of the supposed rumor, James Picken’s Jr. is back pedaling.

“We’ve been living with these rumors for a long time. When the question was posed to me, I was more trying to congratulate Katie and T.R. on whatever they were going to do. But yeah, I don’t have any special info about it.”

Uh huh. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
