Although this rumor has surfaced once before, it seems Katherine Heigl is finally ready to leave Grey’s Anatomy.

The ABC show’s creator, Shonda Rimes, has agreed to release Katherine from her contract reports Entertainment Weekly. A final exit agreement however, still needs to be worked out.

Katherine had been on temporary leave from the show while she focused on her film career and newly-adopted daughter, Naleigh. She was expected to resume work on March 1 but never appeared in the studio on or after that date, reports EW.com.

The actress may in fact, end up not shooting anymore episodes. An ABC rep declined to comment.

It’s not like it wasn’t a long time coming though. Katherine has always had a rough relationship with the show. In 2008 if you recall, she pulled herself out of the running for the Emmys, complaining that she didn’t receive any “material…to warrant a nomination.”

Additionally, last summer, she told David Letterman that the “17-hour work day” on the show was “cruel and mean.”

We like Katherine, but seriously… what an ungrateful bitch.
