Katherine Heigel Talks About A Possible Return To Grey's Anatomy

It’s been nearly a decade since fans had to bid farewell to Dr. Izzy Stevens, portrayed by Katherine Heigel, on the long-running medical drama Grey's Anatomy. Now, the actress has opened up about the possibility of reuniting with the world of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and it’s sparking a lot of conversation among die-hard fans.

In a candid chat with Entertainment Tonight on the set of Suits, which is concluding its final season this summer, the 40-year-old actress shared her thoughts on revisiting the character that once captured the hearts of millions. “I haven’t thought about Izzie in years. Honestly, I’m not sure if I would or wouldn’t consider returning,” Katherine revealed. “I almost feel like bringing her back could be a distraction from what the show has evolved into since I left. The series has grown so much, and it means so much to its fans now. I wouldn’t want to disrupt that in any way.”

Why Katherine Might Pass on a Comeback

For fans who remember Izzy Stevens as the compassionate yet complex surgical intern, her departure in 2010 left a lasting impression. Katherine explained that bringing her back might feel out of place for viewers. “It might feel like, ‘Yeah, we already moved on from that chapter... why is she suddenly here again?’” she elaborated. “I want to respect the journey the show has taken since I left, and I don’t want to overshadow what it has become for its audience today.”
