Its now common knowledge

that T.R.

I kind of get it,

the series creator says in this weeks Entertainment Weekly cover story.

[Hed]

emotionally walked away.

Exclusive details about

George OMalleys lost Greys Anatomy episode can be found after the jump…

But that wasnt supposed to be the last we saw of him.

I wanted to see his last day [alive] really badly, she says.

Viewers would have also seen firsthand how Georges split-second decision to save that girls life cost him his own.

I wanted to see the moment he leapt in front of the bus, Rhimes confirms.

But the second time you see it, hes a hero.

We really got to see him grow up, she says.

Still, I wouldve loved to have seen those flashbacks.

Do you wish Knight had stuck around a little longer to give us Georges last day?
