Isaiah Washington Speaks

Isaiah Washington has broken his silence on his recent firing from GREY’S ANATOMY. Washington told Entertainment Weekly that he is “saddened by the outcome.” “I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do. I came back under great duress and stress, and thought I was doing the job I was hired to do.”As for how he was told of the news, show creator Shonda Rhimes called him personally. “[Grey’s creator] Shonda Rhimes called me on Thursday of last week and told me that I would not be returning to the show,” Washington says. “Just like she personally called me and invited me to the show. It was full circle.”

As for his relationship with his former GREY’S castmates, one can infer that things weren’t peachy on set during the finale days as his former costars haven’t put in much of an effort to reach out to Washington. “Everyone is still on vacation. I don’t expect to hear from my castmates. I did talk to Chandra Wilson and I got a text message from Kate Walsh. Everyone’s doing their own thing.”

So that’s that.  It’s a done deal.  Now we have to wait and see how Seattle Grace deals with the loss of its top Cardiothoracic surgeon.

    That is really too bad because I thought his charcter was intregal to the show. I can only put up with so much of all the nonsense that seemed to envelope season three. Meredith, George and Izzie were far too whiny and out of character (except for Meredith, we understand she is dark and twisty) it was too much to have so many characters go off the deep end. And I just hate the Gizzie aspect of the show.
