AceShowbiz - Katherine Heigl is officially back for another round of "Grey's Anatomy", and she has spilled the bean on her first day of shooting the latest season for the ABC's medical drama. In an interview for her upcoming comedy film "The Ugly Truth", the 30-year-old confessed to Movies Online how it feels like going back at work without T.R. Knight.
[SPOILER ALERT!] Stating that nothing has changed except for the absent of Knight and Ellen Pompeo's growing belly, the Izzie Stevens depicter opened up about filming a scene on George O'Malley's death. "We had to do a scene about George's death and Justin Chambers kept saying, 'I just keep imagining T.R. on Broadway while we're mourning the character's death'," she recalled.
"Then we all sort of went, 'Yeah, that's hilarious. No, that's really sad. He would be laughing really hard now too, and he's not here to laugh with us'," she furthermore added. "So, it's a little strange, in that regard, but other than that, it's good to be back with my friends and my family."
After weeks of uncertainty because her character was seen having a flatline in the season 5 finale, in mid-June it has been confirmed that Katherine Heigl will be back for the series. The announcement of her return came out hours following ABC's statement of T.R. Knight's exit. Although the network declined to release a statement on Heigl's return, it was reported that the "Knocked Up" actress has signed a contract for the sixth season.
