so everyone was pretty much left totally broken and sad. Burke's vows made me  :$%. Christina made me  :$%. Don't know if I'm gonna watch next season or not. I think I'm gonna have to, just to see if burke really left for good, and to see if george is gonna leave. And then I'll get sucked in to another season. and end up spending thursday nights crying again.

so I planned on just watching this first episode and being done with the show. It seemed a little off. It wasn't as funny or sad as it used to be. And then I saw the previews for next week. now I'm gonna have to keep watching. I do miss burke, though.

"Problematic behavior" cited in Isaiah Washington's firing from "Grey's Anatomy"; good thing that wedding didn't happen
Posted on Jun 8, 2007 9:10:18 AM

If you're booted from your job, should you release a statement that reads, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"?

Quoting Howard Beale, the mad anchor of "Network," is an odd strategy. But that's precisely what Isaiah Washington did after being kicked off "Grey's Anatomy." His contract was not renewed, ABC Television Studios said Thursday.

Washington caused a furor with his use of an anti-gay slur -- first reportedly on the set, then in January at the Golden Globes when he denied using the word.

But there was more to his ejection from the hit ABC drama than a slur. In breaking the story, TVGuide.com cited a "pattern of problematic behavior" by the actor.

The fallout from Washington's behavior shook the series and the actor.

A source told ABC.com of the firing, "It was a difficult year and this should come as no surprise to anyone."

"This is something that will have changed the scope of his life," cast member Katherine Heigl told "Entertainment Weekly" recently. Her career, by the way, is soaring with the film "Knocked Up."

"Grey's Anatomy" had prepared for Washington's departure in its season finale. His character, Dr. Preston Burke, left rather than marry Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh).


Izzy is getting  alot of press over her statements. no one else is speaking out loud!

Knight, whose status was also unsure in light of the controversation. Ausiello: For the last time: T.R. Knight is definitely returning to Grey's next season — and full-time. Anyone who tells you different is a big fat liar. (EW.com, meanwhile, is reporting that Knight will receive $125K per episode, plus a small piece of the show's profits.) The only cast member facing an uncertain future is Isaiah Washington, and I'm hearing that a decision about him could be made within the next week or so.

this was from TV guide online. Sorry but it sounds like the network and producers are afraid of any 'gay' backlash if TJ was let go and not Burke.  The gal who made this such a huge deal is Izzy. I think she had a major part in getting Burke released. IMO

Sandra Oh is without a beau.

ABC Television Studio confirmed to E! News Thursday that Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy this fall.

Publicist Howard Bragman said that Washington got a call earlier in the day informing him that he was "not invited back to the show next season," prompting this Network-inspired statement from the 43-year-old actor:

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

While execs refused to acknowledge whether the proverbial demise of Dr. Preston Burke was a direct result of Washington's off-camera difficulties this year, people close to the situation have been saying that, not only was ABC peeved about the negative publicity the actor attracted this season, but that he also has exhibited a pattern of difficult behavior on the set.

Actually, considering how angry ABC seemed right after Washington uttered an anti-gay slur backstage at the Golden Globe Awards in January—while denying that he had ever called costar T.R. Knight such a thing last October during an argument with Patrick Dempsey—it was surprising that Washington lasted as long as he did.

So, it almost makes the studio's decision to not reup his contract a surprise, considering he hadn't been tossed already.

Washington's use of the offensive epithet at the Globes prompted indignation and outrage from the network, gay rights groups, Grey's fans and the actor's colleagues, including Katherine Heigl, who suggested earlier this year that her fellow TV doc should just keep his mouth shut.

After a public apology, a sit-down with GLAAD and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, a stint in counseling to work out his issues and an appearance in a public service announcement that aired just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed as if the fallout from Washington's screw-up had finally settled.

Heigl, for one, said in Entertainment Weekly earlier this month that she was willing to let bygones be bygones.

"I don't know Isaiah well, but he takes his work seriously and he loves his character. He made a big mistake, and it was thoughtless and boneheaded, and I think he's very sorry and embarrassed. This is something that will have changed the scope of his life," Heigl, who's currently starring in the hit comedy Knocked Up and has not yet confirmed whether she'll be returning to Grey's next season, told the magazine.

But, although Bragman had maintained as recently as last month that Washington was, as far as he knew, returning to the show, nothing was set in stone, obviously.

Knight, whose status was also unsure in light of the controversy swirling around the show this year, finalized a $125,000-per-episode deal for season four earlier this week.

Like Washington, whose character ended season three by breaking up with Oh's Dr. Cristina Yang and moving out of their apartment (and, now we know, her life), Knight's Dr. George O'Malley failed his end-of-year intern test and emptied out his locker at Seattle Grace, not wanting to give it another go.

But, unlike Dr. Burke, Dr. O'Malley will be back.

I was disappointed in the show, too. It was a complete downer, except for when Adele was telling about the baby's father. That gave me a tear or two.  But was really disappointed in Burke. Thought George got what he deserved for fooling with Izzy, maybe he won't be back next season.  Afterall he didn't pass  the intern test and his wife is now chief resident. Saw a picture of him taken recently and his hair is a bright red lol

It is kinda funny how we become comfortable with characters, when that new group of interns came into the locker room, I didn't like them.  Thought they were smarty pants! lol

Last night's show  was mainly the spin off Grey's 2.0.  Very little of the original show. Sorry to see Mere get killed off.  And wonder if the gal who was in the wreck and claims no memory really does remember but doesn't want to leave her doctor?
