sportsgurl2389-- I totally agree with you on all counts-- why do people who hate this show post here? Have you nothing to do in life so that you have to spend time posting nastiness on a website for a show you hate? None of us want to read the hate stuff!
rach-- I totally agree with you too-- not a ratings ploy at all, but a need for the development of Christina's character. She needs to deal with what happened with Burke and him leaving.
As for Isaiah Washington thinking about sueing? I certainly hope not. It was just a picture. Not a ratings ploy. And it was used in a very understandable manner. Isaiah Washington, be the bigger person here, please!

Getting rid of Burke was one of the many stupid mistakes they made in Season 3. Don't get me wrong, I think his notorious remarks were inapropriate, but I miss his character and his interaction with Christina.

that's great!!!!!!!
see, u cannot just fired a great ator like him!!!
the show needs him...
bring Burke back...let's bygone be bygone!
i love grey's with Burke and Addie in it!

Seemed to me it was more about Cristina's character development than Burke's. I was sorry to see him leave the show, as I enjoyed their relationship, but he needs to get over himself - his lawyer, I mean really! She is still struggling and it's good to see how she has to work thru her feelings. Sometimes it seems actors blow things way out of proportion and I think Washington did in this case.

Eh, if the show has the rights to the photo, then I don't see how his complaint could hold up. I would LOVE for him to return, though!

This is completely ridiculous!!! Isaiah needs to relax and move on with his life. They used a picture and believe me when I tell you, it is not he that is keeping the ratings. I am sure that everyone's ratings dropped since, let's see...the writer's STRIKE!!! Do lawyers have anything else better to do but find a loop hole that gets someone more money? He made a comment that was not appropriate and in my opinion it is no different than if someone would have made a racial slur about him. He would have been very upset as well. It is over and done with and the show is still as great as ever. I do not watch much t.v. at all but I try to never miss Grey's...it is GREAT!!! Who wouldn't want to watch McDreamy? lol

i do not think it was a ratings ploy. burke was an important part of the development of cristina's character, and it would be negligent to ignore that part of her storyline. plus her character has been stagnating. maybe this is the kick in the ass she needs to move on. it's about time. you have someone like sandra oh you really ought to give her something to work with.

they need to just bring him back already. he was the only one that i could even imagine being a real doctor. what he did was bad, sure, but that was personal and abc mad it a business thing. the two should have never met.

It's pretty interesting that Isaiah Washington's character pops into the show...whether for ratings or not, it maybe just a means of laying the Preston Burke character to rest, never to be mentioned again, hopefully . Is it just me but does it seem kinda obvious that the Burke character is mentioned and a very open gay storyline is seen...hmmm something to think about:) I love this show.
May 8th, 2008 7:47 PM
It is so wrong to use an actors image and not pay for it. I think that they never should have fired Isaiah Washington it totally messed up the whole show and made the wedding so stupid to even have in the show if they never were going to get married anyway. I don't know what happened to freedom of speech.

I have been a fan of Grey's since the very first episode and it is ironic that they used his likeness on an episode that also featured a storyline dealing with the very thing that brought his career on Grey's to an end. The whole homosexual kissing was way over the top. I's so over this!
May 8th, 2008 7:21 PM
I AM SO DONE WITH THIS SHOW!! WHY CANT I JUST WATCH A TV SHOW WITHOUT HAVING THE HOMOSEXUAL CRAP IN MY FAMILYS FACE! ABC I AM DONE !!!
May 8th, 2008 6:54 PM
Man i hate people who post stupid comments like the show sucks. You must have no life if your posting on the Grey's Anatomy Insider website... are you lost???
Anyways hah well i think that its cool they are using his picture but i hope that Mr. Washington doesnt try and sue our fav. show. I cant wait for tonight.
May 8th, 2008 6:30 PM
I think this is a cheap ploy yes. I personally think that Burke and Addison were the two best characters on the show. I *still* can't believe they fired Isaiah Washington... Hey, I'm gay, and I think that what he said was wrong.... but I don't think his career should have been shot down because of it! I mean, have you *seen* The Bionic Woman?!! Peeeeyeewww!
I say Sondra Rhimes (or whoever runs this show) should suck it up and hire Mr. Washington back for whatever reasonable fee he demands. And while we're at it... get Addison back on the show!
I'm sick and tired of all the whiny characters and pathetic "plots" that this show is made up of lately. Move forward people! And MORE SURGERIES!
May 8th, 2008 6:22 PM
Bring Burke back!!! He was one of the sane ones!!! All the other ones have such dumb problems, I want Christina and hime back...Oh and Izzie and Alex, duh. And what is up with George this season? They are making his character wors and worst with each episode, Merdith is getting really annoying, why would McDreamy even go back with her she can hardly take care of herself!!! And the nurse is hot, and seems stronger!
But Bailey and Alex rule!!!
May 8th, 2008 5:41 PM
well I hope that abc didn't use his picture for ratings boost that is a low blow on their part. However, I think that abc and the show owns those pictures right
May 8th, 2008 4:54 PM
Okay, so the show may own the character of Burke, but I don't think they should have used Washington's picture without consultation. Just my opinion.
May 8th, 2008 4:44 PM
None of us know what truely happened on that set that day, but I do know one thing... Preston Burke was an excellent character, and Isaiah played him beautifully! I really do miss that character!
May 8th, 2008 4:18 PM
Man, that would be FANTASTIC if Burke came back. Even if he just came back for a tiny little part, I would scream in happiness. I miss Burke and Addison SOOO much!
May 8th, 2008 4:06 PM
That would be a "yes" to the cheap ploy question.
May 8th, 2008 3:56 PM
i miss burke and addison ALOT!!
it was so refreshing having addison back on the show for an episode. and i miss burke alottttttt.
SO EXCITED FOR TONIGHTTT

yourmom-
why bother posting on this site then?
May 8th, 2008 3:19 PM
duh! and it isnt even working because the show still sucks
May 8th, 2008 3:17 PM
duh, and their plan isnt even working because the show still sucks
May 8th, 2008 2:54 PM
Thoughts?
NOT a Ploy to get ratings to jump. It's more like necessary closure for the character of Christina.
