Latest: Katherine Heigl has upset staff on the set of Grey's Anatomy after withdrawing from the Emmy awards as part of a protest about her character's development on the hit show.

The actress insisted her name be left off the official ballot because she felt her character was awful during the most recent season of the medical drama.

But the move has disgruntled workers on the programme.

A source tells America's Entertainment Weekly, "The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticises the show for lack of material?

"It's an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place."

Heigl won the Best Supporting Actress prize at the Emmys last year. She has since established herself as a movie star with roles in Knocked Up and 27 Dresses.

Producers and writers of Grey's Anatomy are angered by Katherine Heigl's recent announcement that she had decided to withdraw her name from Emmy competition because of the show's weak clips over the past season, the New York Times reported today (Monday). Today's New York Times reported that Heigl is looking for a way to pull out of her contract with the producers so that she can pursue further opportunities in Hollywood.

I said this was so... now, imagine she doesn't get out of her contract.  Imagine the writing quality her character will receive next season  

You have to admit though her acting this season has not warranted an emmy nom, she has been terrible and im glad she has the balls to admit it.

Love this show. Katherine Heigl is a crappy actor. I hope you don’t mind MP but I am very mindful when reading things where people call other people something like you did, however innocuous it seems. Recently there has been a debacle in the news regarding The NRL Footy Show and how a mentally challenged disabled young man was branded drunk. I have edited your word to convey the same meaning but in a different way.  

Today I watched the shows I recorded last night.
Grey's Anatomy returned for a new season. Izzie (Katherine Heigl who is a better actor than 2 years ago) comes back to life but George sadly dies from his injuries after saving a young woman from being hit by a bus (thereby being hit by the bus himself). McDreamy and Meredith are having sex everywhere in the house they share with others after getting married at last. Izzie and Alex have problems after she literally died in his arms and then was revived. He is afraid of everything now even afraid to touch Izzie. I cried with George's friends through the entire episode.

I don't know why but I laughed so hard when they were cracking up at the funeral and Izzies husband goes "...and O'malley gets hit by a bus!"

poor O'malley we'll miss him

I did too CS, because it was a release. There was a scene in the Movie 'Steel Magnolias' after a funeral where the women did the same thing. As Izzie said 'and I got Cancer, what's with that' and laughs even harder. Excellent episode (double). If they show the episode they featured for next week (after last nights eps) then Seven is not showing the series in order because what they showed was episode 4  

I don't like the new doctors from Mercy West except for maybe that guy that Karev got into a fight with in the last episode. Meredith is hardly in it now and izzie gets fired what is happening to this show?

I am hooked on this show and Private Practice. I have fallen in love with an actress off Grey's. I can have a girl crush if I want!

The entire cast of Grey's are fabulous but this woman is exotic (no wonder with her bloodline) and is a stand out actress. Sara and Bailey are my favourite actors/characters on Greys closely followed by McSteamy aka Eric Dane.
