If Izzie's not being "killed off" and if Denny's *not* a ghost, what's up with her storyline on Grey's?

I found this paragraph at the TV Guide Katherine Heigl site:

"Since the season premiere, Katherine Heigl's Izzie has seen, talked to and yes, had hot, loud and sweaty sex with her deceased fiancé (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Though McPherson reiterated that Denny is not appearing as a ghost to Izzie, he refused to comment any further on the ultimate direction of the storyline."

Since no one else can see him, wouldn't we have to gather from that that she's losing her sanity?

Update:

A story from TV Guide in September said this:

"Grey's Anatomy creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes wants to set the record straight: There has been no talk of Katherine Heigl leaving the medical drama.

Then, recently ABC President McPherson said this when asked for his take on the controversial Grey's Anatomy storyline.

"I think that when you get to the end of the season, you'll see everything that [Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes] had in mind."

    Sue that's what I thought, too. But perhaps Izzie IS being killed off; she evidently has a serious (if not fatal) disease or condition.

    I wouldn't be surprised if she was written off the show, since Katherine Heigl has---understandably---been unhappy with her story lines. She probably won't renew her contract, and Izzie and Denny will be able to spend the hereafter together.

    Yeah, I didn't really get it either...I think thought that she'll be sick and killed off. She's gone way down in 'desirability' so they'll probably kick her off. Too bad, because even though people may not like her as a person, she's a good actress and I like her character on the show. Whatever I guess.

    I read she has a brain aneurysm and her visions of denny are hallucinations. Don't know if its supposed to be terminal...well they say its not. Guess this is their "quality" storyline for Izzie. As she complained last season about her storyline.

  • THIS PAST EPISODE EXPLAINED IT I THINK. THE COMMENT SHE MADE TO THE LITTLE BOYS MOTHER. WHAT I GET OUT OF IT IS THAT SHE IS THAT SHE HAS A TERMINAL ILLNESS. DENNY COULDNT TELL HER BUT YET WAS LIKE A GAURDIAN ANGEL.
