Melissa George, who plays wild and dangerous Sadie on Grey’s Anatomy, says her costar T.R. Knight has been doing “beautiful work” and seems “happy” on set — despite his recent request to be written off the show.
“He was at work yesterday in the best mood I’ve ever seen him,” she tells PEOPLE. “We were in a scene all day together.”
Still, George gets why Knight, who’s character Dr. George O’Malley has had little screen time this season, would ask to leave Grey’s Anatomy’s ensemble cast. “He’s a great actor,” she says. “But maybe, when you have talent, you want more.”
Speaking of talent, George picked up a Golden Globe nomination for her work on HBO’s In Treatment on Thursday. “I’m having the time of my life,” the Australian actress says. “It’s my first big nomination in this country. I just can’t believe it.”
As for Sadie, who’s had some shocking scenes (cutting herself so the other interns can practice sewing her up, hitting on Sara Ramirez’s Callie over slides of broken bones), George says her days at Seattle Grace are numbered. “I think I’m going to do 8 [episodes] and that’s it,” she says. “We’ll see.” – Lisa Ingrassia
