It's hard to believe it has been seven years since Isaiah Washington was fired from Grey's Anatomy. That was an interesting period in the show's history. You had Washington get fired after making homophobic comments about TR Knight which forced TR to come out. Then you had TR and Katherine Heigl both walk away from the show and neither has been the same since. I don't think Katherine and TR speak much either. She was the one who convinced him to go because she didn't want to be the only one. With Sandra Oh leaving at the end of this season Shonda Rhimes decided to bring back her old love interest who left her at the altar for one episode airing in May. It makes sense. One thing I'm wondering though is if this is a one time thing or if Isaiah will get his old job back. The guy has barely worked since being fired and only now landed a gig on the CW in a show called The 100. Shonda giving him this chance is going to open a whole lot of doors that had been closed.
Oh hell nah!
ReplyDeletePower of words, y'all
ReplyDeleteOOOH. I still watch Grey's (please don't judge) so I can't wait for this.
ReplyDeleteWORD!
DeleteKaren, i wld never judge! I envy someone who can enjoy a show its whole run. I usually get bored and scump myself out of enjoyable watching. Idk, its weird, lol
ReplyDeleteAs for Isiah, wow, some exile! He must have really stomped on some powerful toes in addition to being offensive. And Enty, does it ever occur to you Heigl is happy she walked away? Ahe has her kids and hubby and mb likes it that way. However, she is trolling fir scratch on kickstart, so maybe not.......hmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching after the plane crash, I loved little Grey and McHottie or was it McSteamy? I started watching again after watching the preview of Jackson and April running off together. Despite what foul homophobic rants Washington said, I liked Burke.
ReplyDeletehe was wrong, but I think he has more than paid. He has hardly worked for a looooong time. And he is a really good actor. Might not be someone I would want as a pal, but I enjoy is acting.
ReplyDeleteYou know what else I always found interesting? That he, OF ALL PEOPLE would make homophobic remarks. Yup, that means exactly what you think I mean. I'll just leave it at that.
ReplyDelete@HWood dime- lol I always got that vibe!
Delete@lotta your vibe was right!
DeleteDime-oh no you didnt!!! Bring it!!!!
DeleteI had completely forgotten about this show and these people (well, besides Heigl) until just now.
ReplyDeleteI still watch the show but with no hopes of my favorite two characters coming back, McSteamy and Denny Duquette. Why did she have to kill them both off? And that was just bizarro land when Izzy was having sex with a ghost. But yeah, I still watch...
ReplyDeletewell I always thought the reaction was a bit harsh....
ReplyDeletestuff like this is said all the time only flip it around....and make it about race, ethnicity, politics or social status
not saying I like him or anything....it's just time to let it go now so she is giving him a shot at that
I watched probably the first couple of seasons but I never saw Ellen Pompeo as attractive so a lot of their stories didn't work for me at all.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Isaiah back. I look forward to how the character is brought in and for what purpose.
ReplyDeleteWords have consequences these days. Isaiah has paid for his error and I wish him the best.
I always thought Burke should come back but with a different actor in the role. Could have had some interesting plot twists for Christina & Owen
Delete@Karen, no judgment here - I watch it every week! I miss Dane, though. He was hot and funny.
ReplyDeleteI honestly had no idea this show was still on...
ReplyDeleteI hate this. I hope that he's not back to get her back and take her away with him and that's how they explain her leaving the show. I mean he left her at the altar!
ReplyDeleteI loved isaiyah and sandra as a couple.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered Grey's recently in reruns and LOVE it! It was more than just the gay slurs at TR, he actually choked Patrick Dempsy and yelled something about not being his (insert slur here), like TR. Choking co-workers is a nono. That said, if Ryan O'neil can still get work, I don't see why this guy can't!!!
ReplyDeleteshow been shit to me since that season he left
ReplyDeletethe plane crash????
the dramatics
the wack ass music and one liners
it was untouchable first 3 season
aawesome
I read yesterday they're doing a "sliding doors" type of episode about Yang like a "what if." I don't know if he's on that one though. When I heard they were doing that, I instantly thought about Burke.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I love it when @hollywood dime comes to play =)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first season that I haven't really watched. Heck I haven't even kept up with Scandal either. Shonda never fails.. she grows bored with a show and it falls apart. So I kinda bailed before that happened.
Hollywood hissy fits always crack me up. And I agree, he is a good actor, and I think he has more then paid his dues. I kinda hate that Shonda is giving him a helping hand, because it makes her look good.
I also like KH as well.
I hated Izzy and George. Good riddance.
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching this show due to the writer's strike. Great writers make for great shows.
ReplyDeleteNow, I hate what they've done to the characters and I can't stand to watch one second of any of the episodes. I miss Chicago Hope.
I loved his character on Grey's. Losing him left a dent in the show. I haven't watched it in ages, but I WILL watch an episode with him on it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Grey's in seven years. I will be watching in May.
ReplyDeleteAs for Heigl and TR Knight...I got nothing.
he's paid his dues. Give the guy a break
ReplyDeleteit's a good show on netflix up until the last episode of S8, hasn't been good since.
ReplyDeleteppl who stopped early are missing out.
