Recent reports claimed that Knight would not return as Dr George O'Malley for the sixth season of the medical drama due to tension between him and Rhimes.
However, Rhimes labelled the speculation that the actor's character would be recast as a "hilarious, ridiculous rumour", according to TV Guide.
"That story is utterly false," a source explained. "Nothing at all has changed in T.R.'s status."
The show creator also recently told Entertainment Weekly that "T.R.'s never said anything. Take from it what you will".
ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson added that both Knight and Katherine Heigl are signed up for next season, but couldn’t confirm if the two stars would "both be there".
Reps for ABC and Knight declined to comment.
