Unbridled: Katherine Heigl recently participated in the unexpected meeting between her character, Dra. Izzie Stevens, and Dr. Alex Karev, of Justin Chambers, on Grey’s Anatomy, and she didn’t hold back on how the show was canceled.
The 42-year-old admitted to ET Online that she had not seen the episode of season 16 Leave a Light On, which aired last March on ABC: “I didn’t see it.”
Alex is seen leaving his wife Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington) in Seattle, when he reunites with his ex Izzie (who doesn’t actually appear in the episode) to raise his twins on a horse farm in Kansas.
