Developing: Did T.R. Knight walk off the set of "Grey's Anatomy"?

 

Update: Entertainment Tonight is saying that they've heard from the producers of Grey's that the rumor isn't true.

Amid swirling rumors that the PTB at Grey's Anatomy were looking to fire an actor (or actress) whose behavior has been "difficult" of late, it's circulating in the blogosphere that out actor T.R. Knight — whose work environment has been nothing but kittens and rainbows since January of 2007 — has walked off the set, either voluntarily or at the request of producers.

Original source Crazy Days and Nights has posted this info:

So, I got a little more information from my source and they say, "He hasn't attended table reads since episode 2. He is pissed and miserable and thinks his story line is stupid. He said goodbye to his hair and makeup people last week. He says he is done and has quit. ABC has not released him. Shondra Rhimes, the producer called him and he told her he had nothing to say. He has packed his dressing room."

One has to wonder: Is this remotely true? If so, is it related to the other rumors about a departing castmember? Did Knight simply walk? Maybe he just went to get some Cornnuts. Or this could all be hooey...

More when we hear it!

"thinks his story line is

"thinks his story line is stupid" How can he think his storyline is stupid when there is no story or line to speak of? George used to be a huge part of the story, glue that kept it all together, and now we barely see him.

Also it's interesting that both Ausiello and Kristin had posts that made it seem like the said actor/actress was the problem. Would be interesting to know what the said problem was. 

Also it's rather strange yet funny yet sad that this one show keeps popping on news with all their gay-drama. What the frak?

What story on this show is

What story on this show is NOT stupid? Backstage at GA is a disaster; it is being destroyed by it's own TPTB.

T.R. is NOT leaving....at least not yet

US MAGAZINE is debunking a rumor?!?! Well, they are usually right! So many spoiled brat actors on Grey's, the behind-the-scenes is better than the show. They all should read about what's going on with the economy and feel blessed to have a job.

Bye Bye T. R.

Oh well, his character was LAME anyway. Good luck T.R., the gays will always love you! Why not come back to Minneapolis for awhile?
