"I love the show so much. I've made some beautiful friends. I love T.R. Knight. I love Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers ? I adore Ellen Pompeo. I think she's a strong, incredible woman. And Katherine Heigl is the most beautiful creature on Earth," she adds.

George says she plans to "do something else," and that's why she chose to exit 'Grey's.'

But another source says that's not necessarily the case -- as the decision for George to leave was more mutual.

"Melissa's arc came to a natural end. Everyone at the show adores her. We're genuinely sad to see her go," the source reveals.

According to insiders, the actress was originally supposed to appear on 8-11 episodes, with the possibility of becoming a series regular, but that the of the role also lead to George's departure.

"The character was cursed from day one. She was very difficult to root for," another ABC source claims.
