T.R. Knight still not sure of his fate on Grey's

An article from http://www.tvsquad.com, thanks to my dear Nora:

At the end of the Grey's Anatomy season finale, many fans wondered if T.R. Knight, who plays George, would be returning to the show comes next season. Without spoiling it too much for those who still haven't watched the finale, George's future is left open-ended.

Gossip columnists like TV Guide's Michael Ausiello and E!'s Kristin Veitch have been leaking out information about George's future. Question is are those spoilers right? Especially when T.R. Knight claims that he still doesn't know what his future on the show is?

USA Today reports that while at a charity event, T.R. Knight revealed that he had yet to be told what would happen to George. The actor added: "It's all kind of in flux right now."

At the event, some of the other Grey's stars talked about Knight and Isaiah Washington's future on the show (Burke's future is also unclear at the end of the finale). Sara Ramirez, who plays George's wife on the hit series, said that it was an interesting choice the writers made to end the series with no clear path for both men. James Pickens Jr. likes how the finale ended as it gives fans something to look forward to when season four begins.

On the other hand, Justin Chambers claims that it would be a bad idea to not have both men return. "We need them," adds the actor. Does Grey's Anatomy really need T.R. Knight and Isaiah Washington? The show would certainly survive without them. The show could actually do best without Washington, who has brought loads of bad press to the series due to his behavior.

It's more than likely that T.R. Knight returns to the series. He may already know it. Shonda Rhimes, the show's creator, hates spoilers and it wouldn't be the first time a cast member is told to say s/he doesn't know something when s/he actually does. Rumblings say that Washington's future on the show is rather blurry.What's you take on this? Should George return?

Um, YES HE SHOULD! Aside from my adoration of T.R., George's plotline with Callie has become one of the more popular one's on the show, not to mention one of the most bearable. I merely groan every time something happens between George and Callie, rather than my violent dry heaving with Meredith and Derek. And as much as I hate the idea of new interns, George as a repeat intern could bridge the gap between the generations of doctors. Or, assuming they are going to try to introduce a bunch of new characters on the show, they could have George go to wherever it was he was accepted admission, and introduce more peeps over there. Oh wait, he was accepted as a doctor, wasn't he? Hmm. Well, I still think he should stay. He could just walk in and out of the shot the entire hour and I would still be happy!
