Could
it be Katie Heigl (Izzie) or is it Isaiah Washington (Dr Burke)? Many
fans have their money on Kate Walsh (Addison) or Kim Raver (Teddy
Altman).
If
you follow some of the many Grey’s Anatomy fans on Twitter and
Facebook, which I do, it would seem as though the popular choice for
many fans is having Izzie Stevens come back to the show. After
reading a Grey’s Anatomy Wetpaint article the other night; most of
the comments expressed the wish that Izzie Stevens should return.
While
that would not sit well with me, many Grey’s Anatomy fans loved the
character of Izzie Stevens and would dearly love to see Alex and
Izzie reunite. Given the way Katherine Heigl left Grey’s in Season
Six, I don’t see why on earth Shonda Rhimes would invite her back.
Heigl dissed the show on many occasions and this was seen by many
people as extremely unprofessional. Heigl has earned herself a
reputation as a bit of a drama queen, however this is not necessarily
a bad thing. When you think about it, it is a bonus for the fans and
show biz gossip lovers like me; when an actor from my favourite TV
programs has a whinge; I quite enjoy finding out about the gossip
from behind the scenes and I am guessing every other celebrity writer
and journalist love this too.
What
I would enjoy is seeing her return to bust up Alex and Jo; now while
I want Alex to be happy, I am not happy about the pairing with Jo
Wilson, the intern. If Izzie is to return then my hope is that the
actor is asked to stay on as a regular, because even though I don’t
like the character of Izzie Stevens, I adore Alex Karev and Izzie was
the love of his life. I also felt as though there was unfinished
business between them when she left in Season Six. This is probably
because she was supposed to return and then refused to honor her
contract with ABC and asked to be let go. The irony of this is; had she returned to see out the rest of the season, Shonda Rhimes
probably would have killed her off in the hospital shooting in the Season
Six Finale; as that was when her contract was up.
It
does look to me as though Alex and Jo will be together for at least
most of Season 10; so this is why I do not think this mystery
character is Izzie Stevens. In my last blog I speculated that it
could be Dr Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), Dr Addison Montgomery
Riley (Kate Walsh), Dr Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), and Izzie Stevens
(Katie Heigl). I did not consider that it might be someone who had a
recurring role. Dr Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsene) or Dr Erica
Hahn (Brooke Smith) and when I think about all the recurring stars
that have been on Grey’s Anatomy, well it could be just about
anyone.
In
his interview with Huffington Post, Kevin McKidd made it crystal
clear that it was not going to be a ghost; so it will not be anyone
who has died. Although there was talk on Twitter awhile ago about T R
Knight reprising his role as George O’Malley and they could go down
the road of mistaken identity and George was never hit by a bus in
the first place. In fact a friend of mine on Twitter recently wrote
some awesome fan fiction on how Shonda Rhimes could tell that story.
If
it does happen to be Izzie Stevens who returns as the mystery person
who has come back to stir up trouble, then it will probably make a
good story but if I could choose I would love Isaiah Washington to
return and reprise his role as Dr Burke, as I totally loved the
character of Preston Burke and Isaiah Washington is one hell of an
actor.
So,
what do you think Grey’s fans? Is Dr Izzie Stevens returning to
shake things up with Jolex? Hit the comments and have your say.

I doubt it.. .I loved Izzy but she is dead and tno one likes a dead ghost hanging around... Unless she had a twin sister surgeon in the fmaily named PRizzy - welll that might be fun.
ReplyDeleteIzzie didn't die, unless we find out that the cancer killed her, that would rule out her return. George died, Mark died and Lexie died, but the actress who plays Izzie asked to be released from her contract and really bad mouthed the series, so I am pretty sure Shonda Rhimes will not want her back. My money is on Kate Walsh now, she seems like a favourite to return and Shonda loves Kate Walsh and has said a few times she wants Kate back on Grey's. I loved Addison Montgomery so bring it on, and that sexy Jake Riley too, Addie's hubby on Private Practice.
ReplyDeleteI don't care why izzy left she played her part great please bring her back
ReplyDeleteCan izzie come back pleaseeeeee. I think she's a better patner for Alex. They understand each other and she's a good doctor. Shonda Rimes pls bring her back for Alex forever.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your comments and expressing your opinion, it is interesting how many people are in favour of bringing Katie Heigl back to Grey's Anatomy and I have to say that when you study how the ratings fell back in Season Six, it may leave one to conclude that those loses could be attributed to the fact that fans realised Izzie Stevens was no longer a character on Grey's Anatomy. I personally am not a fan of the character or actress, however in Season One and Two I did like her, her actions in breaking up George's marriage made me hate her and I was never able to warm to the character again. I guess it could draw good ratings if Shonda and co were to ask Katie to return, who knows?
ReplyDeleteI loved Izzie please bring her back maybe come back with Alexs baby never knowing she was pregnant when she left
ReplyDeleteWell that would make for an interesting story, but that kind of thing has been done to death on TV, so perhaps not. However, as I have said before I would prefer Izzie to Jo, even though I was never really an Izzie or Katherine Heigl fan, I liked Izzie and Alex as a couple.
ReplyDeleteBring Izzy & Yang back
ReplyDeleteI'm all for bringing IZZY back.
