Heigl apparently returning to 'Grey's'

Contrary to previous reports, Katherine Heigl will be returning to 'Grey's Anatomy' next season.

Multiple sources have confirmed that her option has been picked up. This news comes shortly after the news that her close friend T.R. Knight will not be returning to the show.

ABC has not officially confirmed the news yet.

The lives of Heigl's and Knight's characters were left hanging in the balance in the "Grey's" season finale last month.

Izzie, diagnosed with stage IV metastatic cancer in the brain and liver, underwent successful brain surgery but lost her short-term memory and flat-lined during the final minutes of the finale.

Knight's character, Dr. George O'Malley, was hit by a bus.

Heigl had been rumored to be looking to exit the show in order to focus on her film career but in public statements maintained her desire to continue in the role.
