T.R. Knight wants to leave Grey's. Should we care?

T. R. KnightIf you are like me and use a RSS reader to keep tabs of the TV news of the day, you were probably overwhelmed by the number of articles claiming that T.R. Knight asked to leave ABC's Grey's Anatomy. In order to make my RSS reader a tad more crowded with this news, I decided to join in on the fun and blog about it!

The reason for Knight's request? He is unhappy with his storylines. Now where have we heard this reason before?

You have to admit that the actor has a point since he hasn't been doing much on the series so far this season and from the look of spoilers, it seems that no huge storylines are coming his way. Actually, he has been so underused since the season premiere that writing him off would not hurt the series at all. And you know what? I don't care if he stays or if he goes.

Depending on where you read the news, some websites claim that the actor actually walked off the show while others say that he has not and even attended the latest table read. No matter if he walked off or not and why he wants off, the end will be the same: the actor will either leave the show or not.

According to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, Shonda Rhimes and ABC are inclined to honoring T.R. Knight's request. Why wouldn't they? Not only do they have to make room for the new comers (Kevin McKidd and Melissa George just to name two), but why keep yet another actor who is unhappy with his storylines?

I loved the pre-Gizzie George so I would care a tiny bit if he left the show but considering that we will never get back that character on Grey's Anatomy since he is surrounded by Izzie and Meredith, I would prefer see George transfer to another hospital than mope around all day at Seattle Grace. The only way I see George improving and getting back his groove is with a total change in surroundings. How about California? I hear that there is a new practice opening in the same building as Oceaniside Wellness Center (aka the doctor's practice in Private Practice). And what a better way to have George move there than during February Sweeps when a huge crossover between GA and PP is set to occur?

Even if I don't care much anymore about what will happen to T.R. Knight's character, I must admit that the news made Ausiello give us another clue as to which TV star is about to get axed and doesn't know about it. Many of you thought it was T.R. Knight, especially in light of a post written by Kristin Dos Santos. Turns out that Ausiello was not referring to Knight when he told us that someone was about to get axed.

What do you think of T.R. Knight potentially leaving Grey's Anatomy? Do you think it will be good for the show or hurt it? Should Shonda Rhimes offer Knight to join the Private Practice cast?
