There have been a ton of different duos introduced Saturday, however Kat/Ellen’s stands out — as these two have not publicly sat down and talked for a really very long time … and this is able to mark the primary time they’ve completed so since Katherine exited ‘Gray’s’ underneath controversial circumstances.
Followers of the present most likely bear in mind this time nicely — Katherine requested showrunner Shonda Rhimes to be let loose of her contract 18 months early … citing harsh work circumstances, which she aired out publicly on the time. Plus, she was blowing up as a film star again then.
After all, she was allowed to go away … and her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, was written off after 6 seasons. Katherine was a fan fave and a staple within the sequence, till she wasn’t.

She was quoted as saying, “When Katie left, it was powerful. You can perceive why she wished to go — if you’re supplied $12 million a film and also you’re solely 26. However Katie’s downside is that she shouldn’t have renewed her contract. She re-upped, took a giant increase after which tried to get off the present. After which her film profession didn’t take off.”
Extra not too long ago, nonetheless, EP has really praised Heigl for talking up the best way she did within the 2010s … consenting that the hours have been grueling and never conducive to a wholesome office.
There would not seem like any beef between the 2 women — the identical cannot be mentioned for Kat and ex-‘Gray’s’ costar Isaiah Washington — however persons are undoubtedly to tune in to see them discuss concerning the previous days. BTW, the interview has already been shot.
It will air on June fifteenth … seize the popcorn!
