ABC announced T.R. Knight will not
reprise his role as Dr. George O'Malley in next season's Grey's
Anatomy. Knight had apparently asked to be let out of his contract
with three years still remaining. At the end of last season, Knight's
O'Malley character was presumably fatally injured after saving a woman
from a bus collision.
