"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes says T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl are not leaving the show.

People magazine reports Rhimes set the record straight at the NAACP Image Awards, saying, "That was a very interesting rumor. And it's not true."

Earlier this week, 'Grey's' cast member James Pickens, Jr. said the actors would be leaving the hit ABC show.

"That was absolutely taken out of context," said Rhimes. "Things happen, and ... I think rumors become fact very easily. And you know I don't like to tell you what's going to happen on the show -- but that is a rumor."

Before the Image Awards ceremony, co-star Chandra Wilson said the cast is used to rumors running rampant. "We're laughing at the rumors, as we always do. Stories come out, and [there are] these big quotes, and we go, 'But that's not exactly what I said.' So, we're busy doing our jobs, doing our work."

I wish they would let Katherine go already. She is too much of a diva to be working with such great people. I am really shocked that she is still there after turning down an award nomination because the writing for her character sucked.

I think that’s great. I like watching the show and it wouldn’t be the same without the 2 of you in it.

Good that they are not leaving…I really like both of them and I don’t think the show would be the same if they left. I like the original cast and DO NOT want anyone to leave. However, I would like a little more of time on the show for Knight…he is good!

at this point who really cares. there are so many people losing their jobs and taking pay cuts to keep their jobs. they don’t know how much they have to be thankful for.
