ABC President Steve McPherson says TR Knight not leaving "Grey's Anatomy" ... at this point

T.R. Knight as Dr. George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy

We've all heard the discussion about T.R. Knight being unhappy on Grey's Anatomy and wanting out of his contract. Knight hasn't had much to say about it of late, but ABC president Steve McPherson answered a couple of questions for reporters today. Here is what he had to say:

AfterElton.com: Steve, can you comment on T.R. Knight's status on Grey's Anatomy and rumors that he was unhappy and wanted off the show.
Steve McPherson: Yeah, I'm not going to comment on behind the scenes stuff. I think everything that has been out there  ... stuff gets said that is correct. Stuff gets said that is wrong. I just wish everyone would do their jobs and worry about the show

REPORTER: Will he be with the show next season?
SM: At this point? Yeah, I've got no reason not to [think] so.

Hmm, seems like a slightly cagey answer, no? Only time will tell and with this show it's hard to know what will happen next!
