For anyone who watches Grey's Anatomy and might read this, I have to backpedal. Izzie Stevens' story line aside, I actually think the writers are doing a good job. Earlier this season I had scoffed that Grey's was falling apart. Izzie was seeing ghosts, Lexie was begging Sloan to bed her with a weird "teach me" chant, Karev was non-plussed by Izzie's delusions, Grey and McDreamy had nothing going on, Bailey was out of control, The Chief was being obsessive about "training", and the McArmy/Chan romance was bizarre.
But they seem to have silenced all my arguments, singlehandedly. Izzie has a brain problem, Alex quit tolerating her Denny delusions, Lexie and Sloan have actually started to develop a relationship, Grey had a breakthrough with Shepard, Bailey showed some compassion...etc etc.
Anyway, I'd like to suggest to the writers what should happen. Izzie must die. Between the off-camera drama and the burgeoning movie career, Katherine Heigl must go. A show's cast must work as a cohesive unit and, just like the Philadelphia Eagles, Grey's would be better served without a distracting Terrel Owens. The writers have already set the stage, with Denny's ghost "coming for her" and her realizing she is deathly ill.
Also, Karev (while traveling to collect organs for a sick child) had a nice conversation with a new castmember, the pediatrician Dr. Arizona Robbins. New love interest that we don't hate? Perfect.
Because everyone wants a happy ending for Alex, but not for Izzie. We're all collectively tired of her and her weird drama. We no longer see her as a cast-member, we see her as a "here while its convenient" actress bent on bigger things. Ms. Heigl, there is no bigger thing on TV. Unless you want to be a judge on Idol?
So kill Izzie, with a brain hemorrhage or something, and free up Karev, the cast, and the writers from continuing the ridiculous plotline she is in.

Can't say I agree with most of that - though I hope for Katherine Heigl's sake she does get out of Grey's because this season (in general) has been really poor in comparison to the previous ones.
Even with the ghost storyline she has been fantastic - some wonderful acting with a hard to believe story.
Also you talk about bigger things..she is the worlds 5th highest paid actress (not TV but movie as well) on $6 million a movie says Forbes - that's a very big incentive particularly when the stories you are getting on the TV show have been pretty poor.
Also don't forget, the so-called drama is mostly generated by the tabloid press desperate for a story...in reality the cast get along reasonably well and Heigl is among the most popular with her peers - spending a lot of time socially with many of the cast members outside of work.
Liam,
You have access to the cast to the point you'd know more behind the scenes drama than the press?
