Katherine Heigl bit the hand that fed her, and now they're biting back.
Heigl, who plays Izzie Stevens on popular ABC drama Grey's Anatomy, publicly withdrew herself from the Emmy nominations because of what she calls a lack of decent material. The move has reportedly angered Sondra Rhimes, the creator of the show, and the other producers. In retaliation, sources claim that the writers are planning for Izzie to get a potentially fatal brain tumor.
An insider tells US Weekly “[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her. It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”
Apparently to send Izzie off, the show is bringing back fan favorite Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played heart patient and love interest Denny. He was killed off in the second season finale. It was suggested that those scenes are responsible for Heigl's Emmy win.
I think this is a simple case of big-head-itis (a.k.a., the David Caruso syndrome). Heigl thinks she's too good for the show. Well, it took Caruso a decade to recover from his career-killing decision to leave NYPD Blue. I suggest she be careful.
