The actress’ departure from Grey’s Anatomy was painful, but it gave us a number of favorite rom-coms.

Grey's Anatomy, the longest-running medical drama, has undergone many cast changes. Among them, the departure of Katherine Heigl, who played fan-favorite character Izzie Stevens, had a significant impact on viewers.

Katherine Heigl Left Grey's Anatomy Just As Her Big Movie Career Began

Heigl left the show in its sixth season as her big screen acting career began to blossom. Many assumed that Heigl ditched a career as a TV star over a major film role, but the actress later said she did so to spend more time with her recently adopted child.

Heigl also spoke openly about the toxic working conditions on the show, saying that the cast usually had to work almost all day. In addition, Katherine turned down an Emmy nomination in 2008, saying she didn't feel she was given enough material that season to win, which put her at odds with the producers.

But no matter how painful Katherine's departure from Grey's Anatomy was for viewers and the actress herself, the decision gave us some of those slightly naïve romantic comedies from the 2000s that we all miss so much.

The girl grew up, bridesmaid dresses began to multiply in her closet, only one thing was missing – her own wedding dress.

The critical mass of dresses reached number twenty-seven: Jane's sister came to visit and in three weeks made Jane’s boss fall in love with her. This happened just as Jane herself was about to confess her feelings for her boss.
