Shonda Rhimes may not know which of her Grey’s Anatomy stars will return for Season Nine, but it turns out at least one former Seattle Grace doctor wants to return. In an interview with E!, Katherine Heigl revealed she’s ready to put on Izzie’s hospital scrubs once again.
"I've told them I want to," Katherine tells us. "I don't know... Being a showrunner and being a writer of a TV series like that is so complicated that I mean she's got how many characters are there now? There's a lot and so she's balancing about 40 different storylines, so I don't know if it fits in to their sort of vision for this season or next or however many seasons it goes."
If Heigl were to come back to Grey’s Anatomy it would sure to be controversial among fans. Personally, I’d welcome her return and even the highly improbable return of Isaiah Washington’s Dr. Preston Burke, especially if several original cast members do not return next season. Granted, it might not make sense for Izzie or Burke to come home if Alex (Justin Chambers) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) were no longer onscreen, but I’d rather see characters with Grey’s Anatomy history return, instead of introducing new doctors.
Should Grey’s Anatomy bring Katherine Heigl’s Izzie Stevens back?

I HATED Izzie. She needs to stay gone. Heigl left for a big movie career. It's not Shonda Rhimes fault Heigle's film career has been an epic failure. Why should they rescue her by employing her?

I don't think Heigl would come back. I did actually like Izzie but I think Greys Anatomy has moved on.
I personally can't wait to see "one for they money" but I've read the books.

Total overrated actress IMO. I liked her on Grey's but haven't been impressed with anything else she's done. I gotta say, love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum book series, but I hope "One For the Money" flops. In seeing the trailer, I think every single role in that was miscast - especially Heigl. Her fake Jersey accent is already pissing me off. And Debbie Reynolds? I love her - but I'm sorry, she is no Grandma Mazur. Can you tell I'm a bitter Jersey girl?

Katherine Heigl is a great actress, but she has about as much charm as a hungry rattlesnake! She bit the hand that fed her and badmouthed Shonda Rimes, so let her continue to TRY to become the next Julia Robert. Good luck with that, sweetie..........

I voted no! If IA isn't coming back as Burke then Izzie needs to stay gone.
I used to love Izzie and George as friends, but the moment that George cheated on Callie is when I hated Izzie with her smug butt.

I wouldn't mind seeing Izzie come back........so that they can kill her off for good!
