Katherine Heigl says she hopes to “embarrass” ABC by revealing that they force them to work 17 hour days on the 'Grey’s Anatomy' set.
Appearing on 'Late Show With David Letterman' on Monday night, Heigl complained about her first day back: "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."
Despite her rant, Heigl insists she hopes to keep working on Grey's Anatomy, regardless of rumours she plans to quit so she can concentrate on her movie career.
She adds, "It was great to be back, all my friends are there and it's sort of like family. I think we have another two years in the contract but hopefully the show goes into (longrunning show) ER time. That would be cool."
A show insider is quoted as saying that they needed to squeeze in several scenes involving Heigl due to her promotional commitments for the film. "They were trying their best to accommodate her, since they only had her for one day," said the source.
