Will Grey’s Anatomy Kill Off George O’Malley?
ByWhat does the future hold for T.R. Knight on Grey’s Anatomy?
His character is definitely headed for the Army, as various sources have confirmed this upcoming storyline.
But will George live or die? And is it possible that show creator Shonda Rhimes will purposely keep Knight’s fate quiet through the summer, just to punish the actor for his public criticism of his role?
As previously reported, the storyline that takes George away from Seattle Grace will revolve around his departure to the Army. Inspired by Dr. Hunt, the character will head overseas.
Once there, Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello confirms, George will be wounded in battle. But will it be a fatal blow? No one knows for sure.
“T.R. doesn’t know whether George lives or dies,” said a source close to the show. “And, as a result, he doesn’t know whether or not he has to come back next season.”
Is that really possible? Legally speaking, yes.
Rhimes has until mid-June to decide whether to let Knight go.
Some believe she’ll torture the actor by making it sweat out his fate for as long as possible.
However, an insider scoffs at such a idea. “At the end of the day, Shonda is going to do what’s best for the show,” he said. “Everything else is just idle gossip.”
