While Hollywood loves second chances, Katherine Heigl doesn’t seem interested in reprising her Grey’s Anatomy character Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Catherine Stevens. In July 2019, she spoke with Entertainment Tonight on the set of Suits.

“I haven’t [thought about Izzie] in years. I don’t know. I don’t know if I would or if I wouldn’t,” she said.

“I almost feel like that would almost be distracting again to, sort of, what they’ve done with that show in the seven years since I left… and what that’s become and what it is to the fans now.”

A Surprising Reunion: Katherine Heigl Teams Up with Former Grey’s Anatomy Writers

In August 2015, five years after her controversial exit from Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl was back on the small screen for another CBS pilot with Grey’s Anatomy alums Tony Phelan and Joan Rater.

She was joined by two writers she famously trashed back in 2008, so we couldn’t figure out exactly what was happening.

Just in case you need a refresher, Katherine turned down an Emmy nomination in 2008, just one year after she won an Emmy. At the time, she said her character’s content did not measure up to the honor, which was considered an insult to the show’s producers and writers.

In a statement published by The New York Times, she tried to put a positive spin on the story.

I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention. In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.

Past aside, we’re happy that Katherine got a chance at redemption.
