T.R Knight and Katherine Heigl are leaving "Grey's Anatomy", says James Pickens, Jr.

The New York Post (INSERT 5,493 GRAINS OF SALT HERE) is reporting that Grey's Anatomy star James Pickens, Jr. confirmed to US Weekly backstage at the NAACP Awards luncheon over the weekend that George and Izzie are indeed scrubbing out of the series after months of speculation that they were unhappy with their roles.

As for Knight, Pickens says that the actor simply wants to pursue other roles (possibly even ones that give him more than 10 seconds of screen time a week?). And as for Heigl, he says he wishes her the best in anything she decides to do. 

We checked in with a publicist for ABC, who told us, "The studio and the network aren't confirming anything." Soooooooo yeahprettymuch.

Here's our question in the wake of the news-that-isn't-confirmed: Is this a good thing or a bad thing for T.R.? Let us know what you think in our poll!
