Stop trying to defend the undefendable. What Mr. Washington did and said was wrong and now he's paying the price.

To JB:
a homophobic or what. I am not gay but i take offense to your idiot remarks. For someone on the number 1 show on television to call another human being a faggot, is not only irresponsible but racist. Grey's did the right thing getting rid of him. I for one will continue to watch greys and will not miss Burke. It's time for the show to go back and feature more of patient stories like they did in season 1 and 2. Sometimes you have to put your brain in gear before engaging your mouth, which is what IW should have done. Think before you speak people.
Burke Backer like usual you expressed what I feel.
Who is really behind all this? It has been going on since October they never let go. Someone must really hate IW for acting like that. The media played a very bad role here they should have stopped right away. What pleasure can one have in trying to break someone's career that I will never understand.
Can KH and TRK still look at themselves in the mirror? Sure that somehow they will pay back for this one day. KH is mentionned in 61 headlines on this site EP only 41 that says enough about the woman.
Showbizz should be managed by competent people and their sexual orientation should not influence their decisions which obviously is not the case here. That's how you create hate towards a community. How can we obtain peace on earth when for simple things some people make a mountain from it. Just wished they had put their energy in something more positive.

It's unfortune that the Disney Corp is the parent company of ABC. They support the gay rights movement, as well as financial support. So I believe that they probably stong armed Shonda into making that decision. It doesn't make sense for the producers to fire him for somthing so silly and unimportant. So it has to be Disney. It wasn't a racial slur,religious , handicapped or anything like that. They ended that man's career for gay rights. They chose immorality as justice. I liked TR and Heigl, but not enough to continue watching the show. They wouldn't be able to hold my attention long enough without Burke there to balance their mediocore scenes.

I *SO* agree with Burke Backer.
1) He REFERRED to TR Knight as a faggot; he did not CALL him one to his face. TR Knight has no right to make a hooha out of it unless he steps up to confront Washington and set things straight. From what we know, TR Knight never did and instead went through the back door playing the hurt victim.
2) Right after the event happened, all who were interviewed said it was over in a flash; people apologized and they got on with work. The one who didn't get over it seems to be TR Knight alone. And the media.
Although I was taken aback at Washington's reaction during the Golden Globes, thinking that it was totally uncalled for, I think we're forgetting that the media has been giving him a hard time over the few months. Imagine a reference to your colleague in the office being blown up so much so that *everyone* starts asking you about it. Go through this public scrutiny for a few months and tell me you won't lose it and say NO I DIDN'T CALL HIM THAT, EN

I completely agree with Vicky. Isaiah made a lame comment and apologized for it. I don't understand why that wasn't enough way back in October. Instead TR decided his feelings were hurt and he was going to make Isaiah pay, and he has. Isaiah didn't call TR a slur on either occasion. TR overheard Isaiah use that word in reference to him. That is not the same thing as getting in his face and calling him a name. That is what he was trying to say at the Golden Globes. He certainly was not calling TR a slur when he responded to Ted Casablanca's direct question about the supposed slur. This is a word in our lexicon. He is not the first nor will he be the last to use it. It was called a slang word until we began to lose our freedom of speech in the name of political correctness. The media has twisted this around and made him out to be a villain when in fact he was the victim of TR's vendetta. After overhearing Isaiah use this word, TR went to the media and outed himself blaming i

I think this whole thing was blown way out of proportion. I have heard people call other people every name in the book when they are angry. Yes from my co-workers. Yes words like faggot and queer. Did they get fired? No, because everyone says bad things about others when they are angry. I'm not saying it's right, I'm only saying it happens everywhere across the world. But we don't have to act like little kids who cry to the teacher because someone called us a mean name. Can't we act like adults who are mature enough to handle something like that? And I'm not even talking about TR. I guarentee he got over it a long time ago. I'm talking about the gay and lesbian alliance and the media who decided that they were going to whine about it for months.
I feel bad for IW. What if someone made you jump hoops for one word you said when you were having a bad day, and then still fired you for it? All you who are judging him, watch your mouths. YOU'RE ALL IN DANGER OF DESERVING TO BE FIRED!

You can't see into his heart hot4dempsey, although you have claimed to for quite some time. The people at GLAAD seemed to think he was sincere. They actually talked with him and he worked with them even contributing to the writing of the PSA. He did everything asked of him to save his job, as would you, but that does not mean that he wasn't sincere and didn't really try to make amends. I am so angry and disappointed in abc that they would treat him in this way. They used him to keep their ratings up through the rest of the season and then let him go. I will not support GA, ABC, or their sponsors after the complete and flagrant disreguard for this fine actor and good human being that they have shown who made a mistake, learned from it, and hopefully will go on to better things. TR certainly got his revenge. Hopefully everyone else on the cast will learn not to cross him. He has friends in media places.

Guys... are you out of your minds? The guy makes a comment against his own colleague, and then he does everything "just like they told him" to just keep his job. Of course he was going to leave the show, what he did was unacceptable and extremelly unethical. Regardless of who he is in the show, IW made a really big mistake saying what he said, and if he has SOME dignity he should not file a lawsuit against ABC, because HE just like everyone else know that he got what he deserved after his comments. He is making the situation even worse by saying that he did all they told him to do, that shows that he did it because of THEM, to keep his job, and not to renew his dignity. Whatever his character is on the show, he doesn't deserve to stay on the show. There are SO many better actors than him ,that's for sure.

I agree, vicky. The only reason I watched the show was for Cristina & Burke. Seriously, they made the show.
Know what gets me? At the end of the season, everyone was wondering if both T.R Knight and Isaiah Washington were going to leave. Now we know IW is gone [ridiculous!] and TRK is still on. Look how many people are extremely disappointed & upset that Isaiah Washington won't be back, but nobody gave a damn that T.R. Knight is coming back...
That should show ABC that their choice to let IW go was very bad on their part...I hope it comes back to haunt them.
I hope IW gets his own show. That'd be great! The only reason I'll tune in to season 4 is to see Cristina cope & talk about Burke. That'll be interesting.

The third season wrap-up makes sense now. Burke's apartment is cleaned out. Yang has no idea where he's gone. The first thing I said to myself when I saw that scene was, 'Isiah's not going to be back'. In my view, Shonda knew Isiah wasn't going to return and so wrote the show (or someone else wrote it) to reflect that.
If there's a lawsuit, will his attorney use that scene as proof of a pre-arranged situation to make it easier to just say 'so long'? I don't know, I'm not an attorney. But I think Isiah has grounds for a lawsuit. He may not win, but with all Isiah did (the PSA, etc.) some of which he was TOLD to do, it seems that ABC set up a situation (albeit unspoken) where Isiah would keep his job. If his attorney can prove that, all of this could come back to bite ABC in the butt.
As for 'should Isiah go back to Grey's to wrap up the storyline' (which WAS the original question here, folks) NO...Why would he WANT to?

Honestly, IW tried his hardest to make things better and kept his patience when this was happening; he kept repeating that "TR Knight is a great man"... hell if I was Isaiah I wouldn't be saying that after TR made everything 10 times worse.
If any of my views have changed on the show, it is my view of TR Knight because I think it was really unneccesary for doing what he did.. he could have just dropped it. I realise IW has said some other things.. but lets be serious here, calling someone a faggot shouldn't be blown into this much drama.

IW FIRED! This guy is an ACTOR! He played Burke so well --- finally, a young, cerebral, skillful black man who is not a cop or thug.
The relationship between Burke & Yang sizzles; both actors have real talent & FILL the screen! You are tossing THAT away!
No one really cares what IW said to whom on the set or anywhere else -- except the Gay Nation, of course. Did IW frighten TRK? Frankly, the guy whom he called a fagot is a fagot, really. Did he run crying to "mommy" or the "PC" police? Is he one of those helpless boys who needs protection?
TRK plays a Loser, looks like a Loser AND he got a raise? Does this mean he will have more face time?
George is one of the secondary characters who should have been culled. I surf the net when there are story lines that feature George. TRK is just unbelievably dull looking, curls, slack jaw & all. His "serious" facial expression seems to always be mouth open, slack jaw -- all that's needed is a dribble of drool.

I realise IW has said some other things.. but lets be serious here, calling someone a faggot shouldn't be blown into this much drama.

IW FIRED! This guy is an ACTOR! He played Burke so well --- finally, a young, cerebral, skillful black man who is not a cop or thug.
The relationship between Burke & Yang sizzles; both actors have real talent & FILL the screen! You are tossing THAT away!
No one really cares what IW said to whom on the set or anywhere else -- except the Gay Nation, of course. Did IW frighten TRK? Frankly, the guy whom he called a fagot is a fagot, really. Did he run crying to "mommy" or the "PC" police? Is he one of those helpless boys who needs protection?
TRK plays a Loser, looks like a Loser AND he got a raise? Does this mean he will have more face time?
George is one of the secondary characters who should have been culled. I surf the net when there are story lines that feature George. TRK is just unbelievably dull looking, curls, slack jaw & all. His "serious" facial expression seems to always be mouth open, slack jaw -- all that's needed is a dribble of drool.
