T.R. Knight's $125,000 New Grey's Anatomy Contract

T.R. Knight, a.k.a. the lovable George O’Malley, is expected to return as a series regular, Entertainment Weekly reports.

According to one insider close to the negotiation, T.R. Knight has agreed to a new contract that will boost his per-episode salary to roughly $125,000 and give him a small piece of the show profits (pay hikes and profit points were also granted to many of Knight’s co-stars, including Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, and Sandra Oh).


Still up in the air, however, is the fate of Washington, whose character, Preston Burke, appeared to flee Seattle in the finale.

That said, the same insider hints that Isaiah Washington will be back as a series regular (although possibly without the same boost in pay).

“A cliffhanger is meant to keep the audience in anticipation and intrigue until fall,” demurred an inside source at ABC Television Studios, which produces Grey’s Anatomy for ABC.

I think it's ty that ABC was trying to eff with fans and create a "cliffhanger" but I forgive them. Georgy will be back! Holla.

  • Still haven't watched the show. Isn't this just ER?
  • At one stage this would have been of great interst to me as I used to love Grey's when it first started. Isaiah and Sandra were my two favourites. Loved them but the storyline and the improbable way they carried out certain things become a turn off....
