During her appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, the actress spoke about her return to the set of Grey’s Anatomy, saying that having to film long hours was cruel, reports People.
Heigl said, “Our first day back was Wednesday and it was — I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them — a 17-hour day. Which I think is cruel and mean.”
The star said she was happy to reunite with the whole team, but was disappointed that actor T.R. Knight was no longer on board. “It was actually kind of really great to be back. All my friends are there and at this point, they’re sort of like family, but it was a little weird because [T.R.]’s not there anymore,” she added.
