Forgive me all you Katherine Heigl fans out there, but it’s time for Izzie Stevens of Grey’s Anatomy to go.

And forgive me all you readers who are sick of this topic, but I need to express these emotions; it’s cathartic. Give it a try … maybe if enough of us do it, Shonda Rhimes will listen.

Anyway, I know what you’re all thinking: beautiful doctor, lingerie model, great actress. How can you hate that?
