It’s been a few days since the big news that Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey’s next season. I’m still irritated by the news. I feel like he’s gone from bad guy to victim in the span of a few months, and I don’t think it’s much of a coincidence that T.R. Knight was asked back a day or two before news that Isaiah had been fired leaked out.
Do you guys think there’s still alot of drama going on that the media isn’t reporting? Or was it simply Dr. Burke’s time to depart? Was there anything that could’ve saved Isaiah or was he doomed from the moment he spoke the F word in public?

The entire situation is sad. It’s sad that there were flare-ups on the set in the first place, it’s sad that Isaiah lost his job, and it’s sad that a handful of frequent posters on this blog are advocating an anti gay agenda by way of retaliation.
For those posters using words like “gay mafia”, it might be a good idea to remember that Isaiah’s physical violence was directed towards a heterosexual male co-star, and that had as much to do with his being let go as any other factor.
Using this occassion to bash gays merely reinforces the stereotype that Blacks are intolerant towards gay people, and that is particularly unfortunate coming from people who have suffered from intolerance themselves.

I think this was a big mistake! The writers just caved to pressure from network execs who themselves are probly on the downlow. OH well Greys lost!!! Bad Move Shonda u should retake that class on how not to be a sell out and be true to yourself.
PS TR Knight is a whiny, wimpy individual. fire him!

The firing of Mr. Washington was a bad move. He and Sandra Oh had a major chemistry; subtle but effective. Mr. Washington can do more with a single look than a lot can with 3 pages of dialogue.
I am not sure that I will be watching the next season. I enjoyed the character of Preston Burke and I will miss him terribly.
Maybe the powers that be will reconsider.
By the way, I am MORE THAN TIRED OF GEORGE AND IZZIE. Izzie started out good but has gotten to be a whiner. Isn’t there enough of that?

Ditto all comments above. Isaiah should be back!!!! the only romance in grey’s anatomy that makes sense is burke – yang. Grey’s wont be the same without dr. burke. His character is more interesting than all the men in GA. People make mistake. Get over it!!!!!!!

The ONE and ONLY reason why I watch GREY’s ANATOMY is because of the most effective and charming characters of Dr Preston Burke and Dr Cristina Yang…Firing Isaiah Washington from the show is a GREAT LOSS to ABC and Grey’s Anatomy…The show will still ok without him but I think it would not as great as Season 1,2 and 3.
Burke and Cristina were the most lovely couple in the show…
Dr Burke is the best “doctor” in Seatlle Grace Hospital.
I’m gonna miss you Dr Burke…
You are the best…

I totally agree with everyone else, especially the BOYCOTT. I think it is totally unfair that they fired Isaiah. He is such a great actor as well as a wonderful assest to the show. Grey’s won’t be the same and I honestly think the show will go downhill with out him. I honestly hope it does because everyone makes mistakes and them firing him only shows that they are not willing to forgive people when they make mistakes. When Tara the former Miss America made a ton of mistakes, everyone forgave her and she kept her crown, so why couldn’t Isaiah keep his job?

Well yanno I won’t mince any words here…It pisses me off that they, whether it be Shonda or ABC fired a man for using a racial slur yet one of their main characters is called “the Nazi” and they condone adultery like it is just the hippest in thing to do…so yanno if you are going to decide to grow some damn morals utilize them across the board and not just when they seem fitting. What a bunch of hypocrites????? I thought this was just ca-ca. I am about over the whole damn show.

I agree with Gracie. The show is very hypocritical with the continual sex shown every week along with the refernce to the NAZI. My teenage daughter liked season 1, but I can’t let her watch it any longer. Too much sex, not enough story.
I also think Dr. Burke was one of the best, if not THE BEST actor on the show.
I still love McDreamy, because well, he is Dreamy, but I think Burke was the best actor ion the show.
Without Burke and with the rumor that Derek and
Meredith will never end up together, well, what’s left???
You no longer have a show.
Well, now you really have no show left !!!

Yes , I must agree with most of the above !
It’s a real shame that they can’t forgive him :-(
It prooves what the world has come to again , no forgivness !!!!!!!Like no one has ever made a mistake hah !! I love the show , but this is going to far , just tipical isn’t it !!!!!!

what he said to t.r wasnt fair, even if its true, and even if its over.
I’m going to miss burke.
but look…
if hes not a good person, then he doesnt deserve to be on the show.
I’m sorry if no one agrees with me but thats just my oppinion.

I don’t feel like Isaiah Washington should have been fired. People have done a lot worse than make a stupid comment..they need to bring him back!!!

As I’ve said before, the whole situation is sad.
Shonda has spoken out on the subject:
“Since the announcement was made last Friday, Rhimes has remained silent on the situation — until now.
“I think there have been things that have happened that have been within the family that stay within the family,” Rhimes told “Access’” Shaun Robinson at the Crystal + Lucy Awards honoring Women in Film.”
It seems to me that without going in to detail, she’s hinting pretty broadly that there was more wrong behind the scenes than what the public has heard about.
Again – it’s sad, but it certainly seems there’s more to it than just the spat in October.
