Why izzie stevens leaves greys anatomy

The decision, however, led to some backlash from the film industry and fans. Fortunately for her, she's been able to bounce back and continue her career in the industry.

Still, fans can't help but wonder what happened to Dr. Izzy Stevens and what might have happened had she had stayed on the show. Although this wasn't the first nor last time a cast member abruptly left "Grey's Anatomy," Katherine Heigl had her own reasons for departing the show. Several factors contributed to Heigl's departure from "Grey's Anatomy. The biggest offense happened in the immediate aftermath of her Emmy nomination, asking the Academy to withdraw her nomination.

As a result, many fans and critics wrote her off as an entitled actress who didn't appreciate the recognition she was given. This, in turn, led Hollywood to brand her as "difficult," a title that is hard to shake. Shortly afterward, Heigl decided to depart "Grey's Anatomy. Obviously, the entire course of the show would have been changed had Krista Vernoff and her writing team not had to make a very sudden "pivot" when it came to their plans for Katherine Heigl's Izzie.

And while we'll never know just how good those stories might have been, we also likely wouldn't have gotten to some of the characters and stories we have now, and I dare any of you to be mad at dream ghost Derek or dream ghost George.
