On the topic of O'Malley performing open heart surgery in an elevator, Knight said: "It's a slow change but he's starting to realize,' The way I have been doing things is not working .' The big thing about the open - heart surgery in the elevator was he was forced into it . He needs to be kind of kicked in the (butt) to do these things ." </P> <P> Knight felt a parallel to George in that his "confidence isn't always at its absolute highest", but overall he sees more differences than similarities . However, when the actor starts to think he is so different from O'Malley, an awkward move can suggest otherwise . "I was walking, doing a scene with Katherine Heigl . I finished my line with her, and then I walked straight into the light stand ." Critical of her affair with O'Malley, Knight's co-star Heigl explained: "They really hurt somebody, and they didn't seem to be taking a lot of responsibility for it . I have a really hard time with that kind of thing . I'm maybe a little too black and white about it ." Speaking of O'Malley's relationship with Lexie, Rhimes offered her insight: "I love them as friends . They make good friends . We all have that friend we met in school or the gym or somewhere--we just hit it off right away . And right away there was no pretense or airs . Just pure honesty . That's Lexie and George . They're really good friends and I can see the friendship evolving into something even greater ." When asked what his "favorite George moment" was, Knight said his relationships with Stevens and Bailey . </P>
