Katherine left the ABC series in 2010 during the sixth season.

“I haven’t [thought about Izzie] in years,” Katherine said. “I don’t know. I don’t know if I would or if I wouldn’t. I almost feel like that would almost be distracting again to, sort of, what they’ve done with that show in the seven years since I left… and what that’s become and what it is to the fans now.”

“It must feel like it would just be kind of like, ‘Yeah, we already let that go… why are you here?’” Katherine Heigl added.

The ninth and final season of Suits premieres July 17 on USA. Watch the trailer below!

The former Doubt star will return to CBS in the form of a new half-hour comedy pilot called Our House, according to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday (March 20).

Our House is about a devoted mom (Heigl) and dad (Malcolm Barrett), who are committed to raising their children with the love and support the mom never got as a kid, but discover how difficult that is with her insane parents and siblings back in the picture.

Katherine plays Bridget, who is “someone who tries her best to be a laid-back, progressive parent like her therapist husband, but often finds herself reverting to the old-school style of her parents.”

The cast of the 2008 hit romantic comedy 27 Dresses – Katherine Heigl, Malin Akerman, James Marsden and Ed Burns – reunites for Entertainment Weekly‘s Rom-Com issue, out now!

Here’s what the cast had to say over a decade after the film’s release…

Katherine, on a sequel: “I think it would be awesome to see, seriously, what are their lives like 10 years later? Do they end up together? I personally think they did…”

Katherine, on her character: “I really related to Jane. My experience [in my 20s] was being a people pleaser, trying to make people happy. I understood her mind-set.”

James, on the film’s lasting effect: “I don’t think anybody ever knows when you’re filming something that’s going to stand the test of time. I think there’s a sincerity to the movie that gives it legs.”

Katherine Heigl took to her social media pages this week to share her and husband Josh Kelley‘s attempts at posing for a photo to celebrate their anniversary.

“Last nights attempt to get Josh Kelley to pose for an anniversary pic with me. Nothing makes him more uncomfortable than selfies, posing and smoldering. Nothing makes me laugh harder than trying to get him to do all three,” Katherine wrote in the caption of the post.

“I think perhaps the most important and blessed part of our partnership is his sense of humor. There is no one who makes me laugh with the same kind of abandon as Josh,” Katherine added. “No one who can turn my anxiety, stress, fear or overwhelmed-ness into light and peals of laughter like he does. I imagine the sometimes complicated nature of my mind can frustrate or overwhelm him but he never lets on. I have never felt anything but unconditional support, love, safety and protection from this extraordinary man. My only hope and prayer is that he feels nothing but the same from me. Except when he leaves his dirty socks on the kitchen table…or his bikes in the living room…or his beard hair in the sink…but other than that…😏.”

“I love you Josh, like I have never loved another. Thank you for the Grace of your love in my life. You are my knight in shining guitar straps. You are the lightness in my soul. You are the love of my life. Here’s to decade after decade of laughing our as*#% off! 💞,” she concluded.

Katherine Heigl took to Instagram to speak about turning 40 years old.

The actress celebrated her birthday on Saturday (November 24), and posted a series of photos along with a powerful message about age and worth.

“Well…I am officially 40 years old. I know you’re going think I’m full of it but the truth is…I’m pretty damn thrilled to be 40. For one thing, as my mother always says ‘Getting older is better then the alternative.’ Too true mother, too true!,” Katherine wrote. “For another thing 40 feels to me like a certain kind of freedom. Freedom from all the self doubt, insecurities, self loathing, uncertainties and anxieties of my 20’s and 30’s. Not to say I don’t still have those moments but I just feel like 40 makes me older and wiser. Steadier in my convictions. More certain of my strengths. More forgiving of my faults.”

Katherine added, “I know there’s a certain stigma attached to 40. I’ve had plenty of well meaning acquaintances and even strangers tell me not to worry I still look great. Or soon you’ll be 50 and then you’ll really feel old. Or youth is so fleeting isn’t it. I guess I kind of feel like it’s all about your frame of mind. And I’ve made up my mind not to let a number determine how I feel about the way I look. Or what my value as a woman in society is. I’ve decided I will let the number and every one after it determine the strides I make, the enlightenment I seek, the compassion I show, the beauty I radiate from within that grows and expands with life experience.”

She added, “I’m a stronger, better, more grounded and courageous woman today and I will do my best to continue to grow so I can say the same thing at 50, 60, 70 and beyond. It doesn’t hurt that I am surrounded by so many inspiring people who love me and support me through this life. Without them…well I’d still be floundering around in uncertainty. Ok, I’m done pontificating now. #thoseheavenlydays are making every year of your life matter as best you can.”

Happy birthday, Katherine!
