LOS ANGELES, July 16 (UPI) -- Katherine Heigl, who claims she wasn't given good material last season on "Grey's Anatomy," reportedly may be killed off of the U.S. television drama.

A "Grey's" insider told Us Weekly the show's writing staff is annoyed by Heigl's remarks about the material it gave her not being good enough to merit her Emmy award consideration.

The source said the scribes are considering giving her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a brain tumor.

"(Producer) Shonda (Rhimes) and the writers are pissed at her," the source told the magazine. "It's their way of screwing with her. She won't know whether she's going to live or die."

A second person told Us Weekly the storyline might actually be good for Heigl.

"If her character does get a brain tumor, she'll probably get an Emmy!" the insider said.

The new season of "Grey's Anatomy" is to premiere Sept. 25.

Heigl won an Emmy last year for playing Stevens.
