It's official! George O'Mailey is dead!! Entertainment Weekly has reported that Knight has officially been released from his contract. Rumors have been swirling since early in the fifth season of the show that Knight was unhappy with his diminishing story lines. This was suggested as something necessary for the shocker of a season finale, in which the audiences find out the John Doe who had been disfigured by a bus was really George. "I really wanted you to not notice that he wasn't there for most of this episode. I don't think anybody noticed because of the way we laid it out this season," Rhimes explained.
Now that we know the fate of George, curious minds want to know what will happen with Izzy, Katherine Heigl's character. She like George, appeared to have died in last season's finale. Also much like Knight, rumors have said that Heigl has also wanted off of the show. I guess we're just gonna have to stay tuned.
