TVGuide.com is reporting that on January 21, Katherine Heigl’s returning to Seattle Grace–but that doesn’t mean that Alex and Izzie are going to be back on good terms.
According to the article, her return sends Alex to Joe’s, where he drowns his sorrow in liquor–and a one-night-stand with a mystery character, one we probably know. Says Justin Chambers,
I was totally thrown off by it. I think it’s great though. It just adds a little spice to the show. The writers are really good at turning corners and taking your head for a little spin. It surprised me as much as it will the audience.
It’s gotta be that annoying Reed, right? Oh, I could just punch her in the face.
I’m starting to get concerned that Izzie and Alex’s relationship isn’t going to end well. With Katherine Heigl likely leaving for good after this season and Justin Chambers almost definitely staying, things are not looking good for my favorite non-Derek and Meredith couple.
OH. MY. GOD.
How did I just realize she shares the surname with my most hated tv character of all time?
Her first name is Reed. Her last name is Adamson.
Katherine Heigl has been leaving Grey’s according to the press since Season 2. She is under contract and ABC aren’t going to let their biggest name go easily. So…she may have another year or so yet.
We’ll see. I still wouldn’t be surprised to see them let her go after this season, considering what a pill she’s rumored to be. And it’s not like she’s contributing much to the show right now.
