For those of you who didn't like Burke/Isaiah Washington because he was a black man playing a leading role or because of the interracial relationship, YOU ALL NEED TO GET A LIFE. Seriously, this is the 21st century. This isn't the 1950's people! I'm white but I LOVED Burke & I love Isaiah Washington. C'mon people, stop judging one another on race. So what if he was involved in an interracial relationship? WHO CARES?! Race shouldn't stop people from being together.
My point is, if you didn't like Burke/IW because of the whole race issue, you're the one with problems!

Isaiah Washington has a history of supporting gay rights according to Jasmyne Cannick a Black, lesbian, activist and someone who knows Isaiah well. This entire homophobia argument is so misplaced it is ridiculous. He used a word in anger that is a part of our lexicon. He broke no laws. He has been the victim of rumor, speculation, innuendo, and outright lies for eight months with no support from the network or production company that hired him.
I am heart broken that ABC has made this decision. I am furious that they let him stand out here alone in a firestorm of controversy for eight months and then after they had used him they did not renew his contract. While it is heartening that many of his castmates are finally speaking up in his support (James Pickens, Jr., Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers, Kate Walsh, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Dane, Sara Ramirez, Jeffrey Dean Morgan), it is too late. Grey's is over for me as is ABC. Any company who would act in this way to one of their ow

I agree with karen [above ^^]. Except I might watch Season 4 only to watch Cristina. Burke & Cristina were the best couple on the show! Seriously, why the hell would they fire Isaiah Washington over a stupid comment?! T.R Knight needs to get over it. His character is nothing compared to Isaiah Washington's. This is absurd. The "f-word" is not a big deal...especially if it's not said to your face! IW didn't even say it to TRK's face.

watch Grey's Anatomy's rating drop...that is all i have to say...
one of the only reason i watch the show is because of Burke and Cristina. They steal the show....IW even withdrew his nomination for best supporting actor.
this is the last of Grey's Anatmoy for me..i won't watch next season serioulsy..

I'm anti-IW and anti-KW. Thanks ABC!

I love Dr Preston Burke...
I always will...forever!
Please....get him back on the show...
He is the 'best doctor' in Seattle Grace Hospital...
Burke and Cristina were the sweetest couple in GA...love to see more of Burke and Cristina on the show...Pleaseeeeeeeeeee

I think Dr.Burke was the best character on that show. Like not my favorite, but acting-wise, he was amazing. Like when he said the whole wedding vow things, my heart melted.

I would love to have IW back on Greys. That's the only reason why I looked forward to Thursday nights. But, if he's not coming back, I've accepted that fact. Where ever he goes next I'll just follow him. It would be interesting watching him on "House" opposite Hugh Laurie. Both of them highly intelligent and cocky. Not as genius as House, but close enough to keep House on his toes.
June 17th, 2007 3:44 AM
Very well put, ana delon! I agree, Dr Burke MUST come back!

Isaiah Washington is a marvelous actor who brought so much to the series. I do so hope that this terrible ( and unjust to the series) decision is reversed! WHAT DOES THE PUBLIC HAVE TO DO TO BE HEARD??? Bring back Dr Burke! Christina needs him, she loves him. I beleive the show's writers are so good that all the characters are so real and an absolute must - including Addison. Isaiah made a mistake. Isaiah apologized....several times. Come on guys in high places, consider the bottom line. Isaiah Washington is an asset!!!!

Hey, Aha - I can't get to the comments link either. Haven't been able to for a couple of days...
June 16th, 2007 4:54 AM
Does anybody else have problems too with the "comments"-link under the article with Isaiah Washingtons Interview?
June 15th, 2007 9:57 PM
ok first of all how much more debts does he have to pay.. he said something rude okay get over it i know it wasnt nice and completely inappropriate but let me tell you if you were to walk one day through the halls of a high school you would hear that same "slur" 20 million times and no one looks up... it doesnt make it less wrong but i am just saying he is a great actor and asset to the show and all they did by firing him was risk the ratings of the show... Dr. Burke is a huge part of the GA world and i only hope that we dont have another O.C. fiasco by a main character leaving.. anyways i will still watch the show but if his leaving ruins it i wont be suprised... and that sucks!

I AM GLAD TO SEE ISAIAH GO, DOESN'T MATTER IF HE WAS FIRED OR LEFT ON HIS OWN FOR WHATEVER REASON. I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS NEXT SEASON OF G.A. IT PROMISES TO BE A NEW AND BETTER SHOW LIKE IT WAS THE "FIRST" SEASON. WHICH WAS REALLY ONLY HALF A SEASON BEING IT WAS A MID-SEASON REPLACEMENT. BEFORE THE CHRISTINA/BURKE JUNK TOOK OVER THE SHOW.NOW THE CAST WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GROW THEIR OWN STORIES AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE WRITERS WILL BE COMING UP WITH.WHY BRING IN A NEW ACTOR? JUST USE THE ONES YOU HAVE. YES, ADDISON LEFT BUT CALLIE'S NOT LEAVING. AND I HEAR NEITHER IS MARK. NOW THOSE TWO SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND LEAVE GEORGE FOR IZZIE. LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING FROM DAY ONE, SEASON ONE.
SORRY TO SEE YOU GO ADDISON, BUT A SPIN OFF IF GREAT. WITH A GREAT CAST. MAYBE CASTS CAN JUMP BACK AND FORTH LIKE THEY DID ON LAW & ORDER.

i don't care what kind of man IW is, i only know he
is an incredible actor who is one of the best actors in the GA and ABC is going to lose a lot of viewers
in the season 4. for one, I m not going to watch it.
Sandra Oh and IW was the main reason I watched the show. i m sure when u get down to it, other
cast members have things to hide too. i mean everyone makes mistakes... for pete's sakes, this is entertainment business we r talking about. he is not a clegyman.

What's that old saying. What goes around comes around. It was'nt right what he said. It also is'nt right what they did to him. Some people just try to live by double standards. How sad is that.
June 15th, 2007 5:18 PM
And yet, the anti-Washington media will continue to write about him because he is selling their papers/watching their shoes. ABC will not let up on the media blitz to talk/refer to this incident because it will keep the network top of the public's mind and sadly,maybe even his former co stars will be instrumental in this prop up ABC/put down Isaiah as exchange deal for perk/salary raises. All these to kick a man further down, whether he deserves it or not, but does the world deserve this unending climate of hard, unyielding, hate. Fine. Don't forgive him. But do you have to use him for your own purpose? Until when?

I don't like Isiah outside of Grey's Anatomy becaue of his use of words and the way he treats people. However, the show needs him, the characters need him (mainly Christina), the plots need him, they all need Dr. Burk for Grey's Anatomy to be Grey's Anatomy.

I am so tired of all this blabla. I am fed up with all those communities who want to impose "their" opinion be it religious, politics, sexual, regional whatever. I live in a country where the flemish community criticizes the french community, the native belgians criticizing all the foreigners living here (used to be the south europeans then the north african now they are against the eastern europeans). Slurs are happening every day and no one says anything. I am fed up with the lack of intolerance of so many people I can't believe that we supposedly live in democracy. Seems like a lot of people are spending their time on finding a way how to "break" their fellow citizens. Can't take it anymore. Television is supposed to take us away from our daily life but the only thing it does is manipulating us. Yes I am fed up today because I relaize that peace on earth will never happen because some mentalities will never change.

There has been so many stories told on this matter I don't see how anyone can have an honest opinion a therory maybe. I don't agree with anybody on how this was handled just from everything I have read. If I left an opinion on every website I read most of them would be different just bases on the person reporting on it. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Seriously?? That last sentence makes it sound as if TRK was the first and only person ever who had to cope with a thing such as name calling! What a joke!
Millions of people go through this not only once or twice but sometimes even on a daily basis and they are still standing! And he (and almost everybody around him) acts like he is a baby!
If people who are black/asien/... or have a funny name would suffer from this "deep pain,...." every time they hear a joke or a slur about them, they would all have agoraphobia and would close themselves in at home! Please, people, get real!
What does not kill us, makes us stronger! TRK should take this to heart and just let it go and so should the media and everybody else!
I love Dr. Burke and I really wish they could undo the past few days and rehire Isaiah Washington for the next season!
June 15th, 2007 11:10 AM
a liability, thats such a lame excuse. im pretty sure he has learned his lesson and was realy trying to make it right, i dont think he would be a liability anymore. maybe if his co-stars werent such babies, heigl and knight, there wouldnt be such a problem in the first place. i think the show is going to fail now
June 15th, 2007 9:54 AM
it's going to be hard to make the show just as good without Dr. Burke!
June 15th, 2007 9:05 AM
"some pain so deep, that an apology, no matter how sincere, just doesn't suffice." Seriously? but even GOD forgives.
