Katherine Heigl confirms 'Grey's Anatomy' departure


One of TV’s longest-running dramas has finally (and officially) come to an end: Katherine Heigl confirms in this week’s exclusive Entertainment Weekly cover story — penned by yours truly! — that she is leaving Grey’s Anatomy.

美剧中为数不多的常青树之一《实习医生格蕾》终于也到达了一个“终点”。在剧中饰演Izzue Stevens的凯瑟琳·海格尔亲口向媒体承认她正式离开《实习医生格蕾》剧组——白纸黑字这次假不了了(想当年的实习生五人组现在只剩三个了...)!

"I am done,” declares Heigl. “We just finalized our agreement. Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It’s sad but it’s what I wanted."

海格尔是这样说的:“都结束了,我们解除了合同。一直以来每个人都很努力的想要这件事和平友好的解决,好聚好散。虽然离开很伤心但是我不后悔。”

The 31-year-old actress reveals that it was family issues, not her burgeoning film career, that prompted her to approach series creator Shonda Rhimes and ask to be let out of her contract 18 months early. “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” says Heigl, who took a three-month family leave from Grey’s this season to bond with her newly-adopted daughter, Naleigh. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”

已是三十而立的凯瑟琳·海格尔称离开剧组是为了家庭而不是像外界宣称那样为了发展她的银幕事业。她为了家人主动找到制作人珊达·瑞米思要求提前十八个月解除合同。“我已经开始组建一个家庭,我生活的一切都为之改变。”海格尔如是说,离开之前她还请假三个月陪伴家庭新成员——她刚刚领养的小女儿。“她改变了我之前全身心扑在工作上的想法。”

Although she was scheduled to appear in this season’s final five episodes, that is no longer happening. As a result, the Jan. 21 episode was her last as Izzie. “I know I’m disappointing the fans,” she says. “I just had to make a choice. I hope I made the right one.”

她原本要出演《实习医生格蕾》本季的最后五集,但这已是明日黄花。取而代之的是,一月二十一日播出的那集已经成为Izzue的绝响。海格尔是这样解释的:“我知道这会让粉丝们很失望,但是我必须做出选择,而且我希望我的选择是正确的。”

In response, ABC Studios issued the following statement exclusively to EW: “By mutual agreement, Katherine Heigl has ended her successful run as Dr. Isobel Stevens. The studio wishes her well. Everyone at Grey’s Anatomy is now focused on delivering a shocking season finale and a great show for seasons to come.”

为了回应海格尔的以上说法,ABC剧组发布了一项声明:“本着双方自愿原则,凯瑟琳·海格尔不再出演她这一成功塑造的角色——Isobel Stevens医生。剧组全体人员均衷心地祝福她。如今所有人都在全心投入本季最终集的制作,希望能带给观众们一个完整的结尾及对下一季的期待。”
